Watched the first episode in English. SungWon Cho voices Senshi and it slaps.

So having not read the manga, I take it that death isn't as big a deal here with resurrection spells? Marcille mentions dying once to a slime.

it mostly follows D&D rules where as long as there’s an intact corpse you can rez them easily, with the cash and materials of course

Really liked the episode, my one complaint is admittedly pretty minor and it's that they didn't include the ingredients list and nutritional info for the meals like they do in the manga.

I knew they kinda missed on the OP song choice but did not expect it to be boring too.

I really really like the op. There's just something about the vibe that really grabs me. The music hits the same part of my brain as the Okage: Shadow King soundtrack

Also at the pace they're going, with this being a 2 cour season, we'll be on track to get to the halfway point of the series by the end of this season and to finish the series in just one more two cour.

like it, excited for more, lone regret is that the show isn't called "Dungeons and Dine-Ins" and/or "Dine-ins and Dragons". Like, come on.

Q: is this going to evolve from the "guy is super into weird poo poo, girl isn't" joke? I'm giving the series the usual three eps but I am not convinced from this first ep.

Yes there are other jokes, and it's about the whole party and their adventure so definitely more than Laios being himself and Marcille holding her nose about it.

I got a good laugh out of this. I wasn't expecting a youtube silence reaction at that moment so it caught me off guard.

Might be just me but did anyone get a bit of a Pokémon vibe at points? Laios's book of monsters had a rodent picture that looked just like a Rattata, the man eating pitcher plants immediately made me think of Victreebel and I swore I heard the pokéball sound effects at one point.

Yeah, this is kind of what I expected from netflix, honestly

It's disappointing but at least the dialogue itself appears to be translated fine

Yeah, it takes a few chapters, but it leaves that setup behind for the most part in favor of more plot and gags for the rest of the cast. The guy is always weird, though.

laios is just the most immediately weird because his monster fixation is what kicks the story off


as much as i'm looking forward to the introductions of some later characters, i'm glad netflix is actually following through with a week-to-week release schedule worldwide instead of strangling long-term discussions in their cribs

The dub is good, tho I feel like Senshi's characterization is a little off. He is generally very mild and speaks in an old-timey manner so having him say "tastes like rear end" really caught me off guard. I'm also not sure why they felt the need to change his line saying "Senshi is dwarven for researcher" to "Senshi is dwarven for seeker".

Marcille's screaming being nowhere near intense enough is basically my only gripe with the dub so far.

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
SungWon is enjoying himself in the role at least.
Didn't know the woman voicing Marcille was the same one who played Nami in the live action One Piece. As someone fresh to the series I really like them. Only Laios sounds like generic anime man but he's by no means bad.

According to the subtitle he's saying "taste like gas" and after listening to it a few times I can hear it.


Very strong first episode really looking forward to more!

They got the most important parts of the early chapters really right, in this manga about food: Laios being insane, and Marcille reactions.

That was the best Vanillaware food I've seen in a long time.

I've never read the manga just heard how good it is many times so I'm looking forward to watching this week to week. Going to stick to the dub as well because it autoplayed the dub and Damien Haas and SungWon are two people I'm a big fan of so them both being in it is an easy choice.

Sorry, had to get that out to allow my one brain cell other thoughts.

Great fun so far, it's going to be an entertaining Winter. And I see Marcille memes from screenshots are already starting. I'll give the dub a try later.
