Delicious in Dungeon Impresses the Viewers with Its Animation Once Again

Delicious in Dungeon Impresses the Viewers with Its Animation Once Again

Potentially the best anime of the season?

Summary:

  • The latest episode of Delicious in Dungeon looked even better than the previous ones, and the series already had great animation before.
  • Worldbuilding is thought out surprisingly well.
  • This was also a great episode for Falin and Marcille.

It seems that the hype train for Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) never stops. Initially, fans were reluctant to start the series, but by now, they are in love with it, and for many good reasons.

One thing that has been consistently impressive every week about the anime is its animation quality — and once again, Delicious in Dungeon managed to surpass itself with the latest episode.

The animation is top-notch

To be fair, good animation was something fans expected from Delicious in Dungeon all along. Studio Trigger is famous for their top-tier productions, which include series like Kill la Kill and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Their style is quite easy to recognize, and they have always been consistent at making the anime look good — even if you don’t care about the actual content.

However, Episode 8 goes beyond the standard “good” quality of the series. It is downright gorgeous, and fans compared the style to that of anime like FLCL — made by studio Gainax, which Trigger split from. Everything is moving, and even the background objects were drawn down to the smallest details. Yes, even the rocks.

Fans wonder if this is a one-off thing, or if the animation will continue to improve further. Regardless of the outcome, they are happy the anime is getting such treatment, especially when everything else about it is great as well.

More worldbuilding reveals

It’s not just about the animation, either. The latest episode of Delicious in Dungeon proves how good the worldbuilding in the series is. For a gag comedy that mostly focuses on a group of adventurers exploring the dungeon, the world is incredibly complex — to the extent that there aren’t many fantasy anime that can actually compare to it.

Normally, when fantasy series introduce many different species of monsters, they handwave their existence — and coexistence — as magic. Delicious in Dungeon doesn’t do that, though: the anime focuses on how the various species of monsters exist in one world and form a food chain.

This adds an extra layer of complexity to the anime and shows just how much work was done on it.

A great episode for the characters

This episode was also a great character development point for Falin, showing her past and first meeting with Marcille. Their friendship is very wholesome and reminds us that the anime is more than just shocking us with characters eating things that don’t look edible. We do kinda feel bad for Marcille, who is forced to do this, though.
