Your friend gets blindsided by a poisonous horror, then has to lie around on death's door watching some other adventurers while they cook food with the antidote instead of just loving giving it to him, insisting it "tastes better" that way. Then their mage absent-mindedly brandishes a drumstick at your guy before mumbling a healing spell with her mouth full. Afterwards, they treat the two of you to an incredible meal and lecture you about your health. This is one of the most confusing social experiences you've ever had. Your friend has decided that he idolizes these loving lunatics and now you have to get up at sunrise to go for a morning jog every godforsaken day I really like her hair though

I'm sure they'll mix it up, there just isn't much call for a magic user on these early floors. I'm sure she'll be hurling fireballs at skeletons before you know it.

Yeah the thing about Marcille is she's perfectly reasonable if a bit of a picky eater. She only comes across as unhinged because she's not the main protagonist and the anime and manga kind of pick on her, especially early on while they're still establishing characters. The bit with the bat in hindsight was a mistake but following her train of thought you would reach much of the same conclusion without the requisite sanity check that she also misses.

Yeah, you don't waste your Ultimas and Stopzas and poo poo on the trash mobs on the first floors, that's just bad resource management. Marcille's just kinda antsy because she can't really connect with the current party members.

As Laios pointed out, her deal is magic and she's very good at it, not so much other things.logger posted:I just realized in part of the intro where a giant Senshi is standing in floor 2 there is a party of adventurers tying a rope to both a dog and a mandrake. They came prepared!

Marcille is doing the equivalent of just auto-attacking through random encounters to save MP leave her alone also, her party is doing the equivalent of those survival shows where they eat an entire monkey and sleep in a camel carcass of course she's not having a good time

Marcille gets ragged on especially early on but she'll have plenty of time to shine. They cranked it up slightly in the anime too -- I notice the brief part where she's running back and forth away from the basilisk isn't in the manga at all.

Zyxyz posted:...is Marcille really not going to do a single even remotely competent thing this entire show? it's already getting real old Dungeon Meshi sets a lot of tone early with episodic feeling chapters/episodes but we are very quickly headed into serial territory where characters become more dimensional. You could argue that the one-note jokes are there early on to make the characters growth more impactful. That said, this episode starts hinting at the deeper layers pretty quickly: - Laios and the Chillchuck aren't purposefully being dismissive of Marcille. They just need her to save her strength so she can have mana for clutch moments and healing later in the dungeon. - Marcille struggles with feelings of inadequacy because she is incredibly book smart but lacks some real world experience. - Chillchuck's prickly attitude partially comes from the weight of knowing that messing up a trap means his friends getting killed. - Senshi can be dismissive of things he doesn't understand but, more often than not, is just asking for mutual respect. Marcille never stops being everyone's favorite failgirl but you'll quickly see that she is both competent and formidable.

it is funny that while all the other party members have gotten focus detailing their strengths and weaknesses and how their various skills contribute to the team, marcille's focus half-an-episode was pretty much her saying "i'll prove i don't suck!" and then proceeding to exclusively* suck really hard, repeatedly *by injuring herself she managed to get an ingredient that was slightly better flavored than the others i do hope that she gets a moment to shine next episode because she is coming off a little poorly tbh, we've been told that she will have some use at some point eventually and that's not terribly compelling on its own it is funny though ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Jan 12, 2024 |

Marcille is probably the fan favorite character, everyone loves marcille but I do think that having dungeon meshi at tv show pacing means we spend a lot more time with the first set of chapters that everyone who read the manga got through in 20 minutes and then forgot about. it is what it is and its not like these episodes have been bad

I always assumed the half lidded eyes on Laios in the manga was just part of his model but the anime makes him sound like he is on Fantasy Valium, presumably to keep his hyperfixation to a survivable level. Re: Marcille, the recent episode establishes her as a cloistered academic, and the drawbacks that come from that. And she does mess up a lot in the series, but she is a magical genius in the things she is good at, and she shows it many times later. That is kind of a theme of the Party; everyone in the group has some sort of specialization that they are *incredible* at, but only works if they have someone else to cover for other parts. If you took anyone out of the group then the whole thing would fall apart. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Jan 12, 2024 |

Also, Marcille's book was actually correct, since her method provides a mandrake that's chemically-distinct from ones you harvest the "easy" way, which is probably important for the things wizards want mandrakes for. I'm not really sure why "earplugs" or "a really long rope" wouldn't be a better solution than the dog thing, though.

You can train a dog faster than you can train a wizard, so I'm assuming they take no chances. Also knowing wizards "a dog killed by a screaming mandrake" is probably magically useful to them as well, so they get twice the components.

Sounds to me like some kind of necromantic magic might be useful in this regard. Like maybe someone could study the secrets of life and death to raise an immortal undead dog that can pull out infinite mandrakes. I think that could potentially be helpful, and certainly not at all likely to upset anyone

If the long rope is an issue for like angles and poo poo, use a pulley. It'd be better than killing a dog or using a bat.
