I went off anime when the isekai and moe craze took off about 10 years ago.

I tried to get into modern anime, but couldn't (JoJo is based off an 80s manga, that doesn't count as modern to me).

But I'm on episode 3 and I'm really digging Dungeon Meishi/ Delicious in Dungeon. I'm watching the English dub and It's like if Monster Hunter and Dimension 20 had a baby. The humour is great, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. The world is cool too.

I like how it isn't following the anime tropes. The characters aren't high schoolers, the women act like real human beings, there's no Shonen toy commercial BS. It's just a good fun adventure.

My only criticisms are that it's a little videogamey, it makes me hungry and that the title Delicious in Dungeon makes no sense, it should be Delicious in THE Dungeon.

Senshi is my favourite.

It is an honest to god dungeon crawl in the old tabletop sense, where the characters triumph due to their knowledge and cunning rather than raw power. Everyone's personality is believable, and each member of the party has complimentary strengths and weaknesses.

Ryoko Kui plays CRPGs and it shows, but she also transcends the videogame logic by centering the narrative on the party's mastery of the environment (the dungeon, the monsters, the nature of magic and so on) rather than a series of pitched battles. I recommend it to pretty much everyone who has an interest on anime or computer RPGs.

But more importantly, I want to eat the ice cream.

You will live in the dungeon. You will eat the mimics.

I wish my house was haunted so I could use holy water bludgeons to make exorcism sorbet. sicko-wistful
