A lot of the humor in Dungeon Meshi is stuff that happens quietly in the background. I wonder how they will try to animate that.

A lot of shows have background gags quietly happening, so I don't see a reason that would be a real difficulty.

If we're bringing up Trigger, there were even whole little subplots in the background for Gridman episodes.

It absolutely would have gone to poo poo anyway, but the elves definitely accelerated the time table by a lot.

It feels like it was intentionally short for emphasis, the sort of thing that (say) One Piece could never get away with, but here we're close enough to the end and there's enough trust from editorial that you can get away with doing a chapter where all anyone's interested in is how hosed everybody is. Nobody from the main cast even shows up.

I wonder if it was a pacing for the book thing so the last bit in a volume is just a chapter of “we’re hosed”, and also a bit more hype for the last arc in the magazine

E: it makes me laugh to remember when they first found Falin we were predicting the end of the comic like 50 some chapters ago

Harta's a pretty flexible magazine. I know that Masao Ōtake (Hinamatsuri) started a new manga in it recently with a 11 page first chapter, so... dunno. Might be something going on over there, might just be the usual ebb and flow of things.

The manga does a fantastic job making you care about the characters and their motivations. I know that the Canaries losing here is bad for the bigger picture, but at the same time I was rooting for Marcille to beat these snooty elves who think their way is the only correct option.

Yeah, it's pretty funny. The Canaries are in the right that this whole situation needs to be stopped and Marcille needs to be detached from the Winged Lion, but the elves in general and the Canaries in particular have been such gigantic assholes about this entire thing on every level that it's pretty satisfying to watch someone finally shut them up definitively.

Yeah, the lion clearly ate her fear and maybe anger there at the end which is uhhhh not good. Or something like compassion or whatever. I'm all for banging up some elves but the scene of Marcille straight up mercilessly blowing anyones brains out does not sit right with me.

The Lion literally grabbed his desires out in a crystalline chunk and nommed it. Sure his physical body is still in the house (somewhere?) but it's not looking bright for him after he got his Chapter title spree.

How could the lion eat her fear, if demons can only eat desires?

Also, Mithrun's argument really sucked. I guess he didn't know or care enough about Marcelle to make a good argument. His argument was about how the demon would eventually cause her to suffer, but if he made an argument about how the demon is trying to escape so it can devour the whole world, she might have been swayed.

Same.

Canaries are pretty cool for a bunch of elf assholes, meanwhile, Marcille is also an (half-) elf and is currently the most terrifying version of chunibyo: the one who has the power to make all their delusions a reality, so I was firmly on Team Canaries on this one. :colbert:

Yeah, I'm not sure it ate anything, unless Marcille had a secret desire to be terrified for her life.

Mithrun's argument makes perfect sense for Mithrun to make because he's the only person who's experienced this process personally so it's a sore spot for him. Being a canary for revenge for it is the only thing that he can feel anymore and it's the only thing keeping him alive.

I mean, aside from wanting to kill or imprison our entire main cast against their will rather than cooperating with them in any way to solve the problem, sure.

I don't think they all deserve to die but they really, really needed an extremely thorough humbling.
