Oh I didn't realize we had a thread for this, sweet. I finally read through this a couple weeks ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since, what a masterclass this series is. The amount of care put into it is up there with some of my all-time favorites, I adore the artbooks stuff that's been put out so far. Nothing but good poo poo to say. Hurray!

So Maizuru wasn't actually the one who turned Izutsumi into a cat.

We've known that from the jump I'm pretty sure.

I hope it's done with the amount of care it deserves, it would really suck to see a half-assed anime come out of this.

Is Dungeon Meshi the best completed manga of all time? I'm thinking it is

it's certainly a close second to FMA in my mind

turns out meticulous and well-crafted worldbuilding count for a lot!

I stopped reading right after Thistle rezzed Marcielle just to let it pile up and binge the ending, im glad I did. Over all a completely wonderful story and Im glad I got a chance to follow it from beginning to end. I wonder if Kyoko Rui has struggled with addiction, or if thats just me projecting onto to story.

Well, she was in the manga's prototype chapter, so that's part of things. (In fact, in the prototype version, she'd join well before the Red Dragon.) She was always meant to be part of things, but figuring out a way to make a catgirl ninja fit in a more traditional DnD setting with obsessive detail on how everything works probably took more time than expected.

does this chapter exist online anywhere? i've never seen it and it sounds interesting

i enjoy that yaad and all the golden country citizens assumed they'd fade away once they reached the surface, but he at least appears to be sticking around by sheer force of will to keep laios from loving everything up

I've lost count of how often Ryoko Kui has done the "meanwhile, Izutsumi is doing nothing" punchline. It's always great.

izutsumi gets hit with an existential right hook from lycion and just absolutely no-sells it

everything about this series has been great from the jump, but the world building has been one of if not the best parts. i'd be so stoked if she kept doing little side bits into the future

Yeah at the current pace it looks like we'll hit Falin's resurrection around Ep 12, Falingon fight around Ep 15-16, and Thistle and Falingon's attack on Floor 1 and the Canaries around Ep 24.

Which would hopefully mean likely another 12 episode season to finish out the endgame, because I can't see how they could cram it all in to the remaining 18 episodes of these two seasons.

how dare you make this list and not include an izutsumi estimation. for shame. *spits at u*

a lot of them exist outside of the narrative space of the story, so as much as i love those extras i'm not really sure how'd they'd be slotted in without it feeling like a jarring break from what's happening

once an official manga translation is set the first time, they have to double down forever. we call this the zolo clause.

i really enjoy we can have this discussion about a character and her personality and history that never actually comes up in the comic itself and just in the supplemental materials. top tier world building imo

One of the most basic bit of foreshadowing I always loved is that when Falin is revived, she springs up, gasping for air.

Her right eye is squeezed shut and she instinctively clutches at her throat.

i'm an idiot, what is the foreshadowing here
