Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!

Giving my real answer here for this, but yeah I think it ties into stuff we see later in the manga as well. The Winged Lion is portrayed as a seductive figure and that mix of horny/horror is something we get a lot with him. So I think making Falin more overtly into a similar sort of figure actually plays pretty well.

OMG, that's so confusing, you're double posting to two different threads!!!

But at any rate, hm, well, you're right on that point, I'll definitely concede to that in that panel where TWD steps out of the book with his leg all extended like a sexy character in a Tex Avery cartoon. I guess for me, though, "Gainaxing" is associated more with lighthearted / humorous ecchi and is generally played for laughs and fanservice, and I didn't really feel that it was appropriate for such a visceral scene, in a tonal sense.

It's very funny that the true horror of getting detained by the Elves is that they just have a completely different time scale so just keeping you for questioning takes loving forever.

Unless you actually use black magic. Then you disappear or become part of the canaries. RiP.

I like how Maizuru grumbles about Shuro needing to be able to stand up for himself more when one of her specialties as his nanny was summoning youkai to drag him back home for scolding if he misbehaved.

We're in the zone where I super wonder what they're going to compress or where the season will end again. The episode preview says next whole ep is shapeshifters, and I was wondering if they might try to squish that down but looks like no.

It's possible that Canaries don't actually do anything this season, cliffhanger it at them just entering floor 1 or something?

Which is more likely, Canaries barely entering or Trigger skipping Dumplings till next season?

Floor 1 also presents some pretty perfect season cliffhangers.

yeah, i am really hoping that they get to the floor 1 part but so far the necessary compression hasn't happened. at 2/episode its ending at 52

it still seems like it would be super weird to give the canaries that much billing and then give them nothing to do though

They've pretty consistently kept to no more than 2-3 chapters an episode and they've kept in pretty much everything so far. At the current pace the season should wrap up with Kabru & Mithrun falling with Thistle & Falin from the 1st floor.

At the same pace it looks like an 8 episode 3rd season would get to Chapter 72 post-Thistle fight and the Canaries showing up at the cottage, with another 8 episode final season to wrap up the Canaries, Marcille, Winged Lion, and Falin.

How though? At 2 per with no substitutes

E18 Shapeshifters 1+2
E19 Hag+Nightmare
E20 Ice Golem + Barometz
E21 Egg + Golden Co
E22 Griffin + Familiars
E23 Griff soup, Dumpling 1
E24 Dumpling 2, bacon and egg.

Floor 1 is 3 chapters. So to end at the point you say, we have to squeeze in at least three triple header eps into this list. What gets shaved down?

I mean ideal case is this is secretly a 13 ep cour but everything I've seen always says 24 total.

Doh my episode count was off by one, for some reason I thought Harpies/Chimera was Episode 16 and not 17.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see if/how they fit things in, with the amount they've shown the Canaries in promo stuff they at least have to get to the 1st Floor chapters in this season.

Order might also shift around a little so we don't spend the last episode entirely on the upstairs crew. My best guess right now is we do like

E22 Griffin, floor 1 1
E23 Familiar, floor 1 2
E24 Griffin soup, floor 1 3

Which gives us a climax for Senshi's mini arc and a cliffhanger for the canaries, but no changelings or tram ride this season.

Timeline wise, the events of floor 1 all take place prior to or during shapeshifters anyway so it doesn't really mess anything up.

Or get up to bacon and eggs and have cliffhanger being the Canaries heading down the stairs into the dungeon maybe.

Or have some but not all of floor 1, cliffhanger when Falin shows up or when it looks like Mithrun is gonna kill her. But this also needs more space.

The problem with that is then we don't get Bacon and Eggs, which is a pretty important chapter to have in this season because it sets up the party's actual plan

What crazy world is this that 8 episode cours exist (without 4-5 other episodes for other stuff planned)

I think you could probably cut Griffin in half and get away with it, leaving the Golden Country in the episode before, and first encounter with the Griffin in Not-Moria after

I'm conflicted because on one hand, I think changelings is a good episode to start a new season on, but on the other I want it NOW

i will be very disappointed if we don't get the end of floor 1 as an EOS cliffhanger. honestly, i'm surprised about how much i care about this

they may just end on 52 though. so i'll just have to deal

I deffo think bacon and egg + floor 1 is the best place to end this narrative wise, I just don't see a way to actually do that in practice so it's a question of compromise.

Can't do bacon and egg without the whole changeling arc first imo, so it kind of comes down to picking either floor 1 or changelings and cutting the other.

I'd much rather them not compress or wholly skip content even if it's at the sake of a banger season end... Because assuming they don't rush things to squeeze in content the banger will still be coming whenever we get next season 🙏🙏📿

In order to fit everything in the last episode is at 2x speed. To fit an hour long episode in the normal episode time.

they condensed the seven chapters of red dragon into 3 episodes and even tossed in an eighth chapter in the third ep. i honestly wasn't sure that this last episode would manage to fit everything in since chimera is an extra long chapter, but action sequences are easier to get across in animation and can be made more concise. all of which to say i still have hope for a chapter 55 cliffhanger

I’m imagining John Hamm as the Winged Lion. Can’t not.

Also, after seeing everybody in the anime thread spitball about why Chimera Falin has feathers and wings…it finally clicked that the Winged Lion’s magic has a ‘signature’ when it creates things.

Not Tim Curry? Seems pretty obvious.

edit: oh, someone else before me on this page suggested this too.

I think someone here posted a picture from the Delicious in Dungeon expo, so I have a problem/question I need to ask:

I’m currently in Tokyo now and have tried getting my hotel concierge’s help in registering for the event online and even they couldn’t help me ie how to input half-width and full-width furigana for my name, password etc for making an account on the eplus website. :smithicide:

I’m afraid tickets will sell out if I wait until the day of the event on Saturday, so would I be able to reserve a ticket in advance by going in person today? I was planning on heading to Akihabara this afternoon anyways which seems close to Solamachi, so just wondering if this method would work so I don’t waste time and money on a trip there.

I'm not sure how to really quantify this other than in ~*vibes*~, but it feels like where we are in the anime is where Ryoko Kui's appreciation for CRPGs (as she stated in that interview Famitsu did with her that she only started to game for research following Dungeon Meshi's serialization and then got hooked on them) starts to enter the manga. Cithis at least reminds me of how Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 really loved facial tattoos on its characters.
