So, does Izutsumi have only cat ears, or does she have human ears too? What happens if you raise the hair on the sides of her head, what'd you see?

She only has the cat ears, but to speculate further: Based on how her hair behaves in this picture, I think it might be that her hairline actually goes over where her human ears would be, so she's pretty close to having the kind of furry sideburns animalistic character designs sometimes have.

It's pretty wild that we have appearances and brief bios of all three of Chilchuck's daughters but the closest we get to knowing what his wife looks like (not even a name!) is a picture of an unnamed half-foot in her race collages that everyone assumes is her because she's a dead ringer for Flertom.

My wife and I just watched last week's episode. She doesn't much care about spoilers so I said "Can you guess the twist for Izutsumi?" She immediately goes "She is an actual cat that had a human soul inserted into it, isn't she?"

It's only in additional material.

I'm starting to learn Japanese and currently getting used to typing kana characters on my phone. Would the Dungeon Meshi manga be decent to try copying text from to help with learning kana or is the dialogue too complex?

Looking at the early chapters the dialogue seems very approachable, certainly no more difficult than what I started with. You can check out the free sample on a site like bookwalker (click the button labeled "試し読み") to get a feel for it. The main issue is, inevitably, the massive amount of food vocab which is the bane of my existence. If you're cool with either learning the bespoke kanji for each dish & ingredient or else glossing past them to focus on kana & kanji relating to more general concepts it shouldn't be too big an obstacle though.

Would the Dungeon Meshi manga be decent to try copying text from to help with learning kana or is the dialogue too complex? If you’re just starting and on the kana just make some flash cards or something. There’s only two sets coming out to 90 flash cards. Just about anything can be good study materials, I did something similar to you back when I started with a Japanese ROM of Ogre Battle 64. It’s a great way to get practical experience and expose yourself to new vocab. Since you’re still learning your letters though Dungeon Meshi will almost certainly be too complicated to understand. Something for kids might be a little more doable. Just because you won’t be able to read it doesn’t mean studying the text and finding and looking up kanji aren’t really useful learning tools though Also look up what ichidan and godan verbs are and how Japanese people learn about the conjugation of their own verbs. The way English speakers are taught this is extremely stupid and I feel like I would have understood Japanese a lot sooner if they explained u-verbs as conjugating five different ways and then tacking helper verbs on at the end instead of going “gawrsh shucks there’s nothing systematic here at all just learn all these different specific conjugations for specific situations”

I've seen a number of discussions of verb conjugation in textbooks and online, but don't think I've encountered one that takes this approach.

not that i claim to have japanese proficiency beyond college freshman level or really remember how it was taught since it was forever ago, I don't really see the ichidan/godan explanation as beneficial (since based on the video it does seem to have a number of exceptions/archaisms) unless you already know japanese and need to learn the actual grammatical rules - aka, you are a native japanese speaker if your goal is "here is how to conjugate a verb for a specific use case", as a second language learner might want to know, just giving the conjugate form and leaving the knowledge that you are actually stacking a number of different verb stems out until later has its merits too

I've also noticed that Dungeon Meshi does not seem to include kana along with the kanji (at least within the text/not the cover) as opposed to other manga which do like One Piece. Is it because the former is technically seinen while the latter is shonen?

Subject matter, well, Fire Punch is shonen. Enough said.

It runs in a magazine that has series with full frontal nudity and softcore sex. It also has Hakumei and Mikochi because Harta, the seinen magazine that publishes them, has fairly broad subject matter

Shout out to Trigger for not putting Kit-tties on Itzumi, I know that took a lot of restraint for them. Also, good news. Barometz looks just as disgusting in motion as it did in the manga!

Anime has reached the ice golem chapter, and thus the gate revelation. It still remains funny that only at this point in the narrative, 43 chapters in, is the reader told that there was a specific reason Laois's party was in the deepest level of the dungeon the first time around. It is never brought up earlier. Its main narrative role subsequently is 1) to let the party catch up to Mithrun and Kabru, and 2) to signal to the reader that the WL is physically aiding the party through kensuke. My guess is that Kui might have settled on the plot element quite late. It's quite fun to speculate what the alternatives might have been. Perhaps dungeon cleaners were intended to play a larger role.

Honestly it's a decent plot thread but kind of unnecessary. I just assumed that people hadn't been that deep before because 1. They are mostly like Kabru's party and get got by basic monsters through lack of knowledge. 2. There's still profit to be made on the upper levels, so there isn't *that* much motivation to go down further unless you have a very specific reason (beyond killing the sorcerer, which everyone assumes is suicide). 3. Getting revived relies on people finding you. If you are the first one down a path then you had better survive or the whole point of dungeon crawling like this gets thrown out.

That reminds me, it’s a little weird watching the current episodes knowing that Kabru and Mithrun are actually ahead of Laios’s party in the dungeon. I wonder how the anime will handle the timeline stuff.

Mithrun and Kabru's chapter sprints through their dungeon descent from the ice golem to the gate in the span of one chapter, built around the framing device of the "meshi" du jour being the narrative itself. It's already quite a breathless pace. That, and finally revealing the real stakes of the plot. I think an adaptation would struggle to fit it into thirteen minutes and still do it justice; hopefully it gets a full episode to itself. ronya fucked around with this message at 03:45 on May 20, 2024 |

It's already quite a breathless pace. That, and finally revealing the real stakes of the plot. Next season, I hope they start playing around with the format instead of strictly sticking with the 2, sometimes 3 chapters per ep thing. There are some chapters incoming that are self-contained to a point where it would feel jarring AF to stick them with another chapter. We already got a taste of that with the Nightmare chapter. Like, I hope the Winged Lion chapter is paced to take up most of its episode and then maybe they will include a couple of pages from the Kabru + Mithrun chapters (the parts about his childhood) and end it when Kabru wakes up and sees Mithrun. Speaking of pacing, I'm a slightest bit anxious about how they are gonna handle Griffin. On one hand, I am afraid they won't be able to give Senshi's backstory the breathing room it deserves if they put all the Griffin content into one episode (assuming they endeavor to wrap up all of Golden Country next episode, as they should), but if they put Griffin Soup into 23, I just can't imagine the sheer tonal whiplash of going from that to Dumplings within the same episode. Oh well, Imma trust the process. Sander fucked around with this message at 15:30 on May 20, 2024 |

I guess they can cram it in if they cut stuff strategically. Speaking of which, skipping the OP or ED is one option that I hope they start using.
