Good Friends™ | Delicious in Dungeon Episode 12 Breakdown

[@swampjawn]

Well dangit, I'm a fool. The image I used to show Marcille taking her hair down is actually an incredible fanart by xuroky, which is basically a recreation of the panel in a higher resolution with some added detail. (In my haste, I didn't realize because it looks so much like the original!) Here's a link to the original post, which I'll also put in the description: xuroky.tumblr.com/post/656613889507753984/casually-performing-necromancy-to-resurrect-gf And thanks to everyone who pointed it out!

[@hooray4skeleton]

I was worried about whether or not trigger was going to fanservice up the bathhouse scene and while there are some slight alterations from the manga that definitely make it a teeny bit more fanservice-y it's very funny to me that they then followed up with the most intense anime-original senshi pantyshot yet. Honestly props to Trigger for deciding that if he's the fanservice vehicle of the series then they're damn well going to commit to that fanservice.

[@twistedmyth5860]

Honestly? I respect it. Most anime have the fanservice characters be female, that It's actually pretty refreshing having the main fanservice character be male.

[@lyleschlegel3184]

Frankly, for a Trigger anime there's been a surprising lack of fan-service type scenes.

[@pedropimenta896]

It was animated as well, even

[@chengkuoklee5734]

In their world necromancy and dark magic is highly forbidden. Otherwise Falin's Ghost Whisperer talent could make her a great Necromancer.

[@Dragonriderperson]

A nice touch I loved with the resurrection scene was the slightly yonic design to the dragon corpse, to highlight Falin's 'rebirth' and underline the uncomfortable feeling (since most people get weirded out by birthing imagery).

[@tossingturnips]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like the fistula looked a bit suggestive... though my thought was of a different orifice 😅

[@AnarchHive]

Oh thank god I'm not the only one being weird... Yes I thought it looked like that too, which is kinda crazy how well it fits the situation. Falin isn't just resurrected like most people - she basicly gets reborn. And despite the dragon having killed her, she is litereally reborn 'flesh from his flesh'.

[@lechugalechuga44]

Yes ! Noticed that as well ! I'm surprised not more people are mentioning it, the yonic imagery/symbolis there is soooo cool

[@dewaunwarren1]

"Yonic design" got to remember to use that phrase

[@Munin497]

Yes, it's really obvious. Maybe the video creator doesn't mention it to avoid demonetization or something but he could hardly have missed it. It's also clearly hinted that Falin inherited some power from the dragon with her magic being far stronger. Literally making this more of a rebirth than a revival.

[@jayr.9884]

i'm no big-time anime director or anything but it seems to me that the imagery of marcille running her bloodsoaked fingers through her hair, a critical aspect of her magic power, right before she cast a foul, unholy spell was an important detail and they probably shouldn't have cut it

[@DrCaesarMD]

still a little bit upset about that one. The adaptation is great, but sometimes the cutting of certain little details feels like it really misses important points being made by the mangas visual metaphor storytelling.

[@flyingsky1559]

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

I will say I don't think Falin's ghost seeing has anything to do with her resurrection, I've always interpreted it more that having a special connection to the dead is like, her thing. The cemetary backstory moment, the conversation about her being an extremely skilled excorsist who can effortlessly put the dead to rest in a peaceful way, etc. EDIT: The above was in reference to something in the video that was snipped out, I swear I'm not crazy, you can find other comments referencing this. GG you dastardly armadillo, the perfect counter to having a flaw in your video pointed out is to simply make your critics look insane (for clarity this is a joke, I don't actually care that much, it's just very funny) Anyways MILT (Man I love Thistle) MOMENT

[@LuckyDayWorks]

Incredible amounts of birth imagery in this episode, even Falin being swaddled at the end covered in blood. She's becoming something new. Noticing that your editing is getting crisper, great stuff.

[@zinzolin14]

I was thinking the same. Even the hole they cut from the dragon resembles the opening of a birth canal

[@StonetheDestroyer42]

Falin's bounciness is such good character animation. You get such a good immediate feel for who she is from that. And I adored the scene where Laios scolded Falin, then embraced her. You could feel how intensely he cares for her, and how seriously he takes his responsibility to protect her as her big brother.

[@KyleKatarn145]

That shot of Falin's face reforming around her skull is honestly some of the absolute best animation I think I've ever seen. I had to watch that part over and over because I was so mesmerized by it. It's one of the highlights of the episode for me. Absolutely incredible work by Trigger

[@joninaninuninus]

I love the symbolism of marcille and falin taking a bath, cleaning the blood off their hands after such a messed up resurrection. The fact that marcille wants to gloss over it shows that she may wash her hands of it physically, but it still sticks with her

[@lozzy9569]

The removal of the panel where Marcille takes down her hair is almost MORE disappointing because of the new huge focus on her hair animation in the ritual itself. Feels like a real missed opportunity to show her delicately taking it down to remind the audience to pay attention to it in that moment, and remember the importance of hair for magic in the world, before having these scenes. The animation speaks for itself quality wise but having that Little Extra build up to it would have been even better… Also it’s just a bizarrely prominent panel to take out, it’s so iconic. Loving the anime adaption, but that panel removal, and the cutting of Namari explaining resurrection limitations to the twins are the only things that have stood out to me so far as questionable decisions. 🧐

Also, fun fact, but I’m pretty sure the illustration you used of Marcille undoing her hair is actually fanart! (Even if there is a hair undoing panel in the manga). And yeah, like someone else mentioned, I don’t think Falin seeing ghosts is linked to her resurrection, as we know from their backstory that she has a predisposition to the occult! Amazing breakdown as always ✨ thank you for the hard work!

[@FlutterSwag]

i love how the hole in the body of the dragon resembles a womb that has birthed falin and will now rebirth the newly resurrected falin

[@Ash_Yu]

That look in Marcille's face as laid down staring at Falin was pure love. It's absolutely heartwarming to see them reunited

[@bbittercoffee]

I feel so vindicated that I'm not the only one disappointed that they didn't include Marcille letting down her hair Especially after reading all of the manga you start to pay more attention to the significance of her hair, it's SUCH a good moment

[@lauranh8954]

i really appreciate your animation breakdowns; it helps me engage with the media more. i cant tell if you were joking about falin seeing ghosts "now". Her being able to see ghosts was the first bit of magic she could do. Its an innate talent she has. Even when Laios starts using magic, he can see spirits no one else can.

[@haliku9705]

I was really disappointed they cut that iconic panel of Marcille taking her hair down because I was looking forward to it so much…but the rest of the resurrection scene really was jaw dropping so I can’t be too upset. An element which can’t really come across with the same gravity in the manga is just how blood soaked Falin is. You really can’t tell she’s alive until she opens her eyes because the red, naked body doesn’t look like anything that SHOULD be alive! Gave me the good shivers

[@MissionSilo]

They didn't spend as much time on the resurrection scene as they should've

[@MrHeorhe]

The shot of her chanting is panning left causing the effect of marcille to travel left to right across the screen. At the same time the echo effect with the left channel being first, and the right channel being second, becomes confused. The way the shot starts your brain picks up marcille chanting from the left, she is on the left, and the right is echoing. Then once she is past the halfway point on the screen it does domething wierd where you place the voice on the right into her, causing the left channel to be an echo of her voice before she has said the words. I had to rewarch the scene a couple times as i wasnt paying attention fully to the audio the first time and i thought that this effect was acheived with the audio. After i watched it a few times i realised it was a visual effect that muddles the way you interpret the audio causing a cool effect. The team that animated this is fucking incredible

[@ipeconick]

I'm sure performing dark magic and the fact that Falin now can cast magic on instict and seems to have more mana than before are all good things.

[@maleitemarques]

4:38 Another thing i noticed, but I couldn't stop thinking how the whole scene is framed in a way that almost reminds me of a pregnant woman diving birth. Idk if its intentional but is GENIOUS

Bg rough sketch doesn’t always represent the final image it’s meant as the reference on the actual Instance Model from the model sheets clients and producers provide so Clean up artist won’t go off model.

[@bbittercoffee]

Also, as some other people have said, Falin always had a sensibility to ghosts and spirits, ever since she was a child (I think that's even more clear considering Laios doesn't freak out, it's a thing only his sister can do and she has done it before, just another day for him) It's why she tries/is able to resolve battles with them in a more peaceful way, hell, even at that moment, another cleric might've still detected the ghost of the child but would try to exorcise them instead of just asking to stay I think she understands that the ghosts don't want to haunt people, they just want to rest

Great video! One thing though, the image you’re bringing up at 2:40 (and earlier in the intro) is not the actual manga panel. That is a fanmade redraw of the panel that has been commonly confused for the real thing.

I just think it's too bad they kinda "beautified" Marcille during the leadup to the resurrection and bath scene. In the manga her eye bags and exhaustion are obvious, the mental toll the events have taken reflected in her face, but in the anime she doesn't have that same worn-out look to her.

[@athenalicroy9262]

Ngl, this might be me overanalyzing but in the sub, Farlyn said she doesn't remember what she did so that might be how she doesn't remember the time she died. She has a large amount of mana, tries to give some to Marcille and did that spell and she probably wouldn't have that mana if she had been just reborn/revived, the sword reacted to her and her left eye when she woke up being the same eye that was damaged from the dragon. The way Marcille and Liaos ignore the mana thing, sword reacting to her and how she straight up says she don't remember makes me think how they kinda just tired from their long journey trying to get here, enough to make mistakes like this that seem small but kinda make sense when they are connected to the dragon.

[@Treegona]

Someone pointed out to me about the cut shot of Marcille letting her hair down that she's also putting blood from her hands into her hair. Most of her magic requires her hair to be lean and tidy, because the people who wrote the magic were clean and tidy, writing for clean and tidy people. This magic was written by people coated in blood, so it's only right that Marcille coats her hair in that same blood as she's working the ancient magic. Also: The braided updo reminds me a lot of her mother's hair. And given that Marcille has taken to wearing a choker like her mother in adulthood, it wouldn't surprise me if she put it up like that in part as a kind of... idk. Emotional support hairstyle? Maturity boost? And her letting her hair down is stepping away from how her mother looks, and more into how she herself is, and then a step beyond. (Marcille's hair is always worn long but it's never been _loose_ before.) Finally: The unplacable dread is the feeling of "They did the thing they set out to do. In episode 12. Of this 24 episode season. How. How is this going to go horribly wrong. What are they going to do with the other _half_ of the season???"

[@Tom-mb2ji]

Another detail that deserves mentioning is the extreme close-up of Falin biting into dragon meat like a beast, and how it contrasts to everyone's memory of her being a sweet, angelic, girly-girl.

I like how they enjoy the moment with Falin right after that, tossing away the fact that they had just revived her with bones and other things coming from dungeon creatures. Absolutely relateable UvU And funny, too 😆

Man i love Falin and Marcille, theyre such Close Friends™! It echoes such a casual closeness between these two Gal Pals™ that theyre so comfortable with each other to even bathe together! One might even say that theyd be great Roommates™!
