Classic Fantasy Anime Dungeon Meshi Gets Trailer
Kadokawa posted the first English-subtitled full trailer for Studio Trigger‘s television anime of Ryōko Kui‘s Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) manga on Wednesday.
What do you get when you cross dungeon adventures and food manga? You get Delicious in Dungeon, where we find our troupe of adventurers on a mission to save their lost team member while figuring out how to survive on the food that the dungeon provides. When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions. They’re eager to get right back to it, but there’s just one problem: if they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they’re sure to eat it on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slimes, basilisks, mimics, and even dragons…none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!
Half parody of classic fantasy in the style of Dungeons & Dragons, especially in the vein of Western video games like Baldur’s Gate, and half manga comedy, “Dungeon Meshi” has been a discreet success but with a very loyal fan base. So much so that in January 2024, Studio Trigger, known for series like Kill la Kill and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, will debut an anime adaptation of the work on Netflix.
Netflix will stream the anime worldwide in January 2024.
