What a very cozy and friendly show. With kill shots.

Back when I played Dungeons & Dragons, I always preferred the 8 Hour Rests over actual dungeon delving.

I've just watched ep 5, I've been watching the subbed version and I have to say, I really don't like Falin's japanese VA and the whole vibe of her character. It's that over the top demure, soft-spoken to the point of almost parody anime trope. It makes my skin crawl for some reason. Is the dub better?

people have to learn at some point that anime doesn't automatically equal kid friendly, especially when episode one opens with a person being eaten by a dragon. maybe they'll learn when watching namari getting her brains blown out by the undine

they did not learn when Legend of the Overfiend or La Blue Girl or Ghost in the Shell frequently ended up in the cartoon section at Blockbuster, they're not gonna learn now. animated = for children, that's just how it be

I had a cousin who owned a la blue girl t shirt.

1)given la blue girl's uh...everything, it was about as tame as it could get. Girl riding a bike, panty shot.

2)why the gently caress were la blue girl t shirts being made at any point

The concept of La Blue Girl merch is very funny to me

Though to be fair to that person, Falin getting eaten is done bloodlessly and without really lingering on the act itself. I could see going "this is a fantasy story with fantasy violence but it should be basically fine for my kid" after that first episode.

There's definitely degrees to how graphic the violence can end up being; like this is G-rated getting pierced through the chest by an arrow

and like, compared to a still image in the manga the big difference is the shot composition, length of scene, and amount of blood shown

No really, you can't
I love the dichotomy drawn by the violence in this show. Violence by people against monsters is usually cool in a stereotypically anime way, with lots of flourishes and room left in the animation and direction for midscene character moments. Violence by monsters against people is brutal, bloody, perfunctory, blink-and-you-miss it, completely unglamorous in every way.

In doing so this story does a fantastic job selling the dungeon as a character with a dual nature - half ecosystem which must be respected and coexisted with, half underground hellscape full of horrific critters that can and will serve you up an inglorious death.

Violence of sentient beings vs sentient beings being played for black comedy, too. The Orcs raiding the tavern would be shocking if it wasn't so funny how nonchalant everyone was about witnessing a slaughter.

Honestly this feels like how a lot of peoples first DnD/TTRPG experience goes. it's all "LOL, I cast a funny little spell on Boblin the Goblin to turn him purple" and then it's a teary panicked rush to save your meat headed Barbarian from being swarmed. poo poo's all whimsy until Death Saves are being rolled.

And then your mage won the last fight thanks to insanely lucky rolls but now she's got a serious wound and no mana left so it's probably time to get back to town.

I hate women because I dislike artistic choices that make a fictional character a lame archetype. It's a very common voice acting choice and I just don't like it.
gently caress it. You are right. I'm making GBS threads up the thread.
