E: to be clear, great ep. I just find the little differences interesting.

Yeah, there's a few other little differences I noticed. Trigger being what they are I expected this panel to be played up for more comedy than it ended up being.

This adaptation rules.

People ain't prepare for next week. I ain't prepare for next week and I know what is coming.

I love that the two reactions I'm seeing are people being like "oh god Falin can't be brought back" and people being like "haha I'm sure she's fine right???" and somehow neither group is gonna be ready for how things will go

This is definitely not a lie



As an aside, there's a redditor who is cataloguing all of Marcille's different hairstyles seen in the anime so far and knowing where that goes is breaking my heart.

Looks like the convo with Namari and the twins might actually be cut, though it could still go in later during some downtime. Lot to squeeze into this one.

I could easily see it being in the next episode surrounding the lead in to Marcille's spell

Goddd, this episode was amazing. What a story, and what a great adaptation.

The cut to the upbeat ED after finding Falin's skull was fantastic lmao.

I completely forgot that the red dragon wasn't a wingaling dragon.

The panel that really sticks in my mind is, presumably, going to be next week where they lay out all the bones of Falin's skeleton like Lucy. This whole thing is so grisly. gently caress dungeon meshi is good.

This episode made me realize that Laios tied Kensuke to his hand and I had to go back in the chapter to check!

Cue the next episode starting with Laios going "its still good!" like Homer Simpson trying to save the ruined pig roast. He'll probably do something like deduce that the Dragon hasn't taken a crap yet so Falin's nutrients are still in its body and therefore still bound by the Dungeon's resurrection spell. Then he'll do something insane like make a meat puppet out of her leftover bones and dragon steaks and tell Marcille to stitch it together like she did with his leg.

Lol, lmao.

I just finished the whole series. What an incredible loving ride that was! :aaaaa:

I'm incredibly grateful and lucky that I could devour the series in a few bites rather than having to wait each week/month/whatever for the next chapter.

e: I think the main prediction I was way off on was that I was expecting Falin to join the party and help them defeat the Mad Mage since it's kind of an RPG trope of teasing a strong class or character early on then save them until the end to let them use their full potential (eg Shin Megami Tensei's Cerebus), but then the plot twist came and well... She pretty much got literally put on ice for the rest of the story. The twist with the demon observing the party and being the source of power behind the Dungeon Lord was insanely cool. Things got downright surreal near the end which I absolutely adored.

And yet! Somehow! This loving manga never let up on being incredibly hilarious and touching too! I feel like a lot of adventure mangas with demons and death etc start out fun but get incredibly cynical and dark-spirited by the end, yet deep down this manga never loses its charm or goofy spirit. God I love this manga so much!

Taking the living armor sword and making it fight other monsters was pretty messed up. He's taping it to his hand so he can swing it and Kensuke's just like "bro you ate my family"

Marcille is being played as a straight man (not that there is anything straight about her :v:), so the reveal that she is exactly as insane as Laios and Senshi, just in different areas, does come as a bit of a surprise. I remember I was pretty wtf when I got to that point in the manga.

I am so excited to see blood coated Marcille casting forbidden magics in the anime. There were a lot of folks dragging Marcille for her antics in the first few episodes and writing her off as useless.

It's like when GoT book fans were quietly waiting for the TV show fans to get to the Red Wedding.

What are the chances that the author was partly inspired by Dwarf Fortress? Digging too deep and greedily leading to demons flooding in from an extradimensional space to kill everyone and escape to wreak havoc on the surface sounds very dorfy to me. :iit:

I've been using the anime as a rewatch so I didn't remember this brief scene with Laios and Falin in the grass field before this resurrection and how it's paralleled at the end with Falin and the winged lion before her second resurrection. It's such a nice little detail of Falin trying to continue sacrificing herself for others at this point. I love how her character exists in this absence and how there's so much to her even though she's not really herself for most of it.

"digging too deep and greedily" leading to problems has been a fantasy trope for a very long time

Dwarf Fortress draws pretty clear inspiration from similar events that happened in stories like Lord of the Rings

I think it hurts/helps that the way she was placated earlier, like "oh we want you not to strain yourself you'll totally be useful later" sounds like a white lie to a struggling friend but it's 100% the truth, she's got Dark loving Sorcery on her side.

very unironically dungeon meshis characterization of falin through only memories and absence and having the audience drawing their own conclusions about her is the best execution of its type since the sound and the fury's handling of caddy compson

That long pause after Chilchuck's like 'that's not even your area of expertise!' is so good.

Legit one of the best decisions in the manga is having Marcille be the one who ends up succumbing to the Lion after all the buildup around Laius.

I also forgot how much Kabru is set up as this master manipulator possible villain before he gets completely derailed by first Laius and then Mithrun.

Kabru is inherently funny because he is a smooth talking womanizer but ends up stuck with these helpless men who lack basic life skills.

I went and reread the manga to see how they might pace out the last two episodes of the cour, and I'm eager to see the anime thread react to Kabru also being incredibly competent and slightly unhinged despite being the leader of the 'noob party'

I find it really funny that Kabru is very good at killing humans through his understanding of anatomy but because he ends up fighting a bunch of monsters he gets wrecked.
