Yeah I feel the same way - I like the pace when I'm watching it but I'm always disappointed when the episode ends and I'll have to wait for another week for more.

Is Dungeon Meshi any good? It was hyped to hell but now that's it's airing I'm not hearing much of it and a lot of people seemed turned off by the first few episodes.

Undead Adventurer has actually been pretty good if more laidback and a friend who got me into Witch and the Beast says the adaption is actually pretty good or at least not as bad as they dreaded.

Dungeon Meshi looks to be very good, but if you just go by the first few episodes, it might seem like it's just an above average cooking fantasy comedy type show. Haven't read all of the manga, but I read enough that I was excited for the anime adaptation.

Not really. He is a good guy, and not terribly OP (though he does grow stronger rapidly), but no one runs away or tries to kill him. He largely keeps his undead nature hidden from all but his closest friend until he can pass as human-enough.

Pretty much this. Home boy is a lower tier adventurer who gets mixed up in weird poo poo going on of varying degrees of above his pay grade that he needs to navigate.

It is honestly amazing that my brother and I have such opposite taste in anime. He wouldnt stop bugging me to watch Solo Leveling, Classroom of the Elite, and Undead Adventurer. So I gave all of them a 3 episode test and didnt find much in any of them. Also I really hate shows with video game stuff like menus and inventory and leveling now apparently.

Meanwhile I ask him to watch Sign of Affection and Dark Gathering and he wont even watch one episode calling them girly and childish, respectively.

I'm big into the Dark Gathering manga but the anime...

I haven't actually properly watched it, so it might be good, but it doesn't LOOK good.

Then again I'm still mad about the Azumanga Daioh anime so maybe I just have unreasonable expectation for cartoons about my favorites

No, it's the one where he's just a mid tier helpful guy that dies and becomes an undead and from that, new opportunities emerge that gets him more powerful. Spoiler: It turns out he's also sorta special with his own unique abilities unrelated to being undead, but he's not quite all the way OP

That was Berserk Of Gluttony which is fairly different but has a few cosmetic similarities, such as both protags hiding their identity behind a spooky skull mask.

It's like normal in terms of seasonal anime where the industry has to make 30+ of them at a time, but yeah that's not actually very good and I found it poorly conveyed the horror (already difficult for anime tbf).

no, not that either.
The one I'm thinking of is an undead that just wants to die, but attacks never do anything to him. But he doesn't want to hurt other people either. So he's helping a bunch of people who end up after being thankful, then run away from him when they see him. And other guilds that find out about some "evil" OP skeleton keep attacking him with their strongest attacks that just bounce off of him and then run away for their lives. I think he's been undead for so long, he has bad communication skills, so he just ends up sounding like he's growling at them and making weird noises when he tries to talk to them. Some of the smarter guild members think he might be non-hostile because he never chases after anyone.

He does get some action where he's pretty unlucky/lucky where he stumbles on some necromancer evil cult who thinks he's with them, but they're the only ones that he actively tries to hunt or track down because he thinks they might have some clue on how to end him, but he just keeps bulldozing each leader.

I've been enjoying the hell out of Dungeon Meshi but I do think that it's a show that is not very conducive to hype, in the sense that it is not a "blockbuster" style show full of jump up and tear your shirt off moments.

I understand being enthusiastic about good poo poo, but I think some people need to learn that mellow material needs to be matched with mellow enthusiasm, otherwise you're setting people up for something completely different.

Then again asking for temperance on the internet is probably a failing proposition in general, much less from people who are excited about a thing.

There's plenty of comparison videos out there for Japanese and English Marcille and Emily Rudd brings her own style which still works for the character.

And they just had Imari Williams on the episode with the orcs and he sounds way better than the Japanese orc voice. So no, it's not "just" people watching for ProZD, it's a good dub, period.

Clever Betty
I have read hundreds if not over a thousand different manga over the years, and dungeon meshi is up there in my top 3 manga of all time, and by the end of it became one of my favorite pieces of fiction period. It might start out slowly but the characters, world design, writing, monsters, etc are second to none, it ramps up consistently throughout the story going from a trot to a sprint by the finale, and it ends extremely strongly.

i still like sign of affection quite a bit. the visuals, editing, and perspective work are great, and it's kind of nice to have a romance show where the couples just spend entire episodes figuring out how to communicate with each other.

the newest episode also did the 'bring color into your world metaphor' multiple times so i could never dislike this show
