Brought To You By posted:Actually something that's bothered me is that the Canaries have a "first death" listing and I thought it was unique to the island dungeon the story takes place in. Because you'd need to bind the soul to the body and the only time we've seen that happen outside the dungeon was the flashback to Farlyn and Laios' childhood and the bloke that wore a ring he found from the dungeon before he passed away. It's unique to dungeons in general. Dungeons are known for making death less likely to stick.

Alopex posted:The impression I got that is that resurrection magic is still a thing outside of dungeons but has a much lower success rate. Dying in an arena where they're expecting people to get slaughtered and have medical staff on hand to revivify the body before it cools seems relatively low risk. I'd think that dungeons would be a good place to run your secret illegal fight clubs, really. Easier to revive people, showier magic is easy to perform, and it's harder for the authorities to crack down.

Can Of Worms posted:She wrote a story that is sort of a detective case in her short story anthology, it's really funny. It's a good punchline to the whole anthology in context. Some of them get a bit heavy, so going that full-on (detective) comedy lets the reader leave feeling content. Glad I read through the whole thing.

Huh. Older than I thought. (Feels a bit like a retcon, but if all retcons developed as well as the ones in Delicious in Dungeon, I don't think I'd ever object to them.) Also, wow. More than 50 years in the dungeon without dying once. That's a pretty impressive record. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Mar 6, 2021 |

Well, at least our heroes haven't done anything exceptionally stupid. Yet. Good to have it confirmed that the demon of the dungeon is up to the usual. We're definitely not looking at the Pochita style of "show me your dreams".

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:laios' obsessions are things he can actually pursue himself. marcille wants something that would fundamentally change the entire world and is completely impossible. the scale is completely different. Laios (and this feels weird to say) also has more of a mental backstop. He'll still plunge ahead with bad ideas, sure, but people have talked him down in the past. Meanwhile, Marcille is committing a lot of actions that would get her sent to the Canaries if the wrong people heard about them, which suggests a stronger desire.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:whoa, so that's how you become a dungeon master? that sounds pretty sweet! everyone knows that dungeons generate treasure! It's a question of percentages. Some portion of adventurers, if the elves regularly gave an honest-but-incomplete description of why you need to eventually evacuate dungeons, (something will eat people's souls, the town will be destroyed, etc.) would respond to the Canaries arriving with "Whelp, money was good, but it looks like it just ran out. We'll be on our way, thanks for the heads up". There'd just also be a portion who wanted to press their luck, some even going so far as to entertain the idea of getting to be Dungeon Lord. The question is if the people who'd be more cooperative would outnumber the ones who wouldn't. And the elves don't care. This has worked so far, and there's no reason to change it for the comfort of the inferior... err... short lived. (And now it's blowing up in their faces.)

Nebrilos posted:A lot of the humor in Dungeon Meshi is stuff that happens quietly in the background. I wonder how they will try to animate that. A lot of shows have background gags quietly happening, so I don't see a reason that would be a real difficulty. If we're bringing up Trigger, there were even whole little subplots in the background for Gridman episodes.

Fellis posted:I wonder if it was a pacing for the book thing so the last bit in a volume is just a chapter of “we’re hosed”, and also a bit more hype for the last arc in the magazine Harta's a pretty flexible magazine. I know that Masao Ōtake (Hinamatsuri) started a new manga in it recently with a 11 page first chapter, so... dunno. Might be something going on over there, might just be the usual ebb and flow of things.

thetoughestbean posted:I keep trying to get people to buy Delicious in Dungeon at work (I work at a Barnes and Noble) and I don't get a lot of bites! What's a good, succinct way to get people interested in it? Depends on who you're pitching it to. I've had some luck with "A team of adventurers have to rush to the base of a dungeon to save one of their own from being eaten by a dragon. Lacking supplies, they have to cook their way to the bottom.", but that's with people who play DnD, so they've got a bit of a base level connection to the setting and the idea of dungeons as ecologies.

thetoughestbean posted:I typically don’t say a manga has gay characters unless it’s explicit, especially when recommending manga to customers. I don’t want them to feel lied to Yeah, that's a sensible policy. Marcille also has her succubus take the form of a (utterly ridiculous looking) elven man, so that's even more of a beat where you're at risk of selling people a bill of goods. If you promise people something a story doesn't deliver, it makes both you and the book look bad.

Bybus Slago posted:Far from the first time its happened. Attack on Titan's fan-translated title was way better as Advance of the Giants, but can ya do. Attack on Titan is a much better name, even if it makes less sense grammatically. The K sound is a strong hook, Titan is used less often than Giant so it's more independently memorable, and having three words instead of two means it's faster to say. Add in it being less terrible vis a vis the later title drop, and Attack on Titan beats Advance of the Giants at a walk.

Lurking Haro posted:You can read her Short Story collection. She hasn't done much else. Collections, plural. I know of at least three. Not all of them are officially translated yet, but they're all interesting enough to be worth the read, and they've been fan translated if you know where to look. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End might also be worth a look. It's a story about an elf who was part of a JRPG hero party decades ago going out to retrace her steps. Very melancholic tone a lot of the time, and a bit of the same "Okay, how does this work?" attitude towards RPG elements that Dungeon Meshi has.

Dolash posted:I'm trying to watch Slayers, but the aforementioned vision problems make the special effects really hard on my eyes. I do really like seeing a charming old 80s/90s cartoon where a female protagonist gets to run around having fun and slapping dragons around. Maybe that has a manga I can read too? Something else that might be worth looking at is the Shonen Jump website. They've got a massive archive for 2 bucks a month, and the first three chapters of most manga are free. Since you like MHA, they probably have at least a few that you'd be interested in. If you're looking for something popular right now from their listings, there's Kaguya: Love is War, Spy X Family, and Chainsaw Man. Kaguya's about two genius dumbasses on a student council trying to trick each other into admitting romantic affection (because, as the narrator tells us, the one who admits to being in love first... loses!). Spy X Family is about a family where the father is a spy, the mom's an assassin, and the daughter is a telepath... but no-one except the daughter knows any of that, and since she's four, she's kind of an idiot. And Chainsaw Man... well, it's right there in the title. All three are very good, very funny, and have either upcoming or ongoing anime with higher-than-average production values. Probably worth a look at the first chapters to see if you like them.

thetoughestbean posted:The magazine it’s published in does ten issues a year, so yeah it’s a bit slower than your average monthly Ten issues, and a relaxed attitude towards authors missing a month if they feel like it. Harta's a magazine for people who do good manga, but don't want the hellish deadlines you get with weeklies. It's had a lot of good stuff over the years, but it also means there's a lot of waiting for the readers.

Bad Seafood posted:I appreciate the magazine giving Kui time to wrap up this final plot point instead of just rushing things to their conclusion. There are so many other series where everything that's happened since the lion would be squished into a single chapter. Harta's well known for being one of the most flexible manga magazines out there. It lets authors skip months if they want, set their own chapter lengths, and otherwise handle things how they like more than the usual. Probably helps explain why it's getting all this nice room to breathe.

Rubellavator posted:Laius should become the king so that he can refuse Marcille's extradition. He could probably negotiate for her sentence being served on the island, at least. He also, despite being, well, Laius, seems like he could do a good job. He cares about the people under his authority, he's willing to listen to people who know more than him, and he's highly respected by all relevant factions. Traditionally, people who don't want to be in charge make the best kings.

Scholtz posted:I don't even really mind the batch-releases (they're actually better for the consumer overall rather than weekly episodic releases) but JoJo p6 getting it's first bit released, then nothing for 9 months, then the final batch being 3 months after that was just stupid. If it was one batch every 3 months or something it would've been fine. It might be better for the consumer, but it's much worse for the show. Even highly popular shows like Edgerunners disappear from public conversation faster with full dumps, and less popular shows can vanish entirely. Think about Odd Taxi. Thanks to the week-to-week, it went from some obscure no-name anime to one of the seasonal favorites. DnD here is in a better spot thanks to the studio and the manga, but it could still hurt its ability to gain a new audience.
