"They ate. They served. And They cooked." is hilarious and extremely accurate lol Great video! Can't wait for Season 2!

[@linesinmotion]

😂 Thank you!! I definitely laughed when writing that part

[@ravenpotter3]

I can promise you season 2 will be a feast! And you don’t even know what courses are in store! You have never experienced flavors like this in anything before! And the end will leave you full and dreaming of food. I cannot wait for you all to experience the final courses and desert!

[@12thmocha11]

"Truly beautiful shots in the show." *cuts to senshi* Nice. *cuts to Senshi AGAIN* Niiiiice.

[@tubeminer1325]

The Senshi undergarment shots always gave me a good laugh. Can't wait for Season 2!

[@linesinmotion]

They were so funny 😂😂 I know the trigger staff were laughing when animating each one

[@timothygooding9544]

True gender equality

[@silverclover21]

The zoomed in pixelated face of Laios just smiling like that always manages to crack me up

[@Misster28]

Trigger is also my favorite studio an they did NOT disappoint. I adore everything about this adaptation, and the weekly schedule made me realize how much I prefer that format. It just feels right, like good old days. Also, Yoshinari making a whole dragon animation secuence without even blinking? Hilarious. What a legend

[@linesinmotion]

The weekly schedule is my preferable way to watch anime, despite how much Netflix sometimes tries to push the binge option on us. And Yoshinari..... The man, the legend. I really want to know what clip it was that he *wanted* to work on, rather than the dragon sequence.

[@phanquan9470]

holy i never thought more lines in motion content of dungeon meshi

[@linesinmotion]

I'm always up for more dungeon meshi content!!!

[@exothermic8649]

It used to be so hard to come across any dungeon meshi fanart, and after the anime dropped we're just spoiled for choice! It's such a joy to see so many people enjoying a manga that's been a long time favorite personally (it also made physical copies of the manga be more available in my region, as it used to be so so rare to find)

[@michaelcreel6522]

Spoiler for the rest of the manga. . . . . I can not wait for the video essays on the Winged Lion that are going to inevitably come out. I like a good villain analysis, but that did not come about for the Winged Lion yet.

[@withelisa]

I'm obsessed with the manga and cannot wait to watch anime fans' minds explode in real time ❤ DM's ending is just beautiful

[@pencil6467]

Dungeon Meshi. Aah Dungeon Meshi

[@urbncampr]

As someone who had originally read the manga I am so very proud of how well the Dungeon Meshi anime was handled and cant wait for season 2!

[@viomarks]

The quick allusion to Uzumaki at the start is heartbreaking knowing how that adaptation turned out immediately after episode 1.

[@ck6164]

12:46 Is no one gonna speak about how when she brings up beautiful shots we see the Senshi fan service 😂

[@reedraw1917]

I managed to get a friend into dungeon meshi after she had disliked every other anime I showed her! Truly this show has something for everyone, she’s even gotten into this manga and was open to trying witch hat atelier!! Edit: I was making dinner while watching this, the chicken came out perfect, the veggies tho? Burnt. To a crisp.

[@linesinmotion]

I've always said Delicious in Dungeon is a great first anime (or one to get ""normies"" into) just like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood! It's pretty well balanced in that regard. And wooo!! I hope they try WHA, too! I feel like both fandoms fall within another a lot. Also R.I.P to the veggies 😢

[@tol_ghost]

​@@linesinmotion I absolutely agree! Fmab was my first anime, I haven't watched a whole lot of other anime, but yeah, fmab and dungeon meshi are amazing to start with

[@Murkycrock]

the thing I love about manga adaptions is that if given to the right hands and put in the right direction can create such immersion and investment to the story, characters, and everything else about it! im so happy I got to watch the anime and then read the rest of the series as ryoko kui as put so much details and love into the series I can't help but feel so inspired and happy to have read it.

[@spacep1ant]

Emily Rudd was Marcille??????? WHAT. Omg she’s so talented 😭💘 Thanks for another great video)))

[@linesinmotion]

YES!!!! She's so good as her, too!!! Perfectly cast!

[@ichors]

20:17 “All any fans should want is to see more engagement with the story they love.” absolutely correct!! This was such a lovely love letter to dungeon meshi in both its animation and manga form. So excited to see season 2!

[@topcat59]

I’m honestly impressed how good trigger is at English dub.😺

[@linesinmotion]

I'm not sure who actually decides on the team etc 🤔 but their promare dub is fantastic too, they have a great track record!

[@joshuasnider4106]

Delicious in dungeon has one of the best dubs I've ever heard, I really enjoyed the emotion the actors put into it

[@whoknowsnugget]

i spent a full day reading the manga after watching and it’s definitely one of my favourite series ever, it’s so well written and illustrated and i can’t wait to see the rest of it animated!!!

[@EvaFuji]

I had my doubts about the show since everyone's been hyping it up but I didn't expect to like so much that I watched it TWICE in a row.

[@lorminatti_art]

“ Truly beautiful shots ..” and its Senshi 😍😍 i couldnt agree more

[@mak0vka]

the “they cooked” bit at the start was very funny.. you cooked as well. meta-cooking

[@kierenm4810]

I adore Dungeon Meshi's manga. But god did Trigger do a fantastic job adapting it. I love that Ryoko Kui was so insistant that the manga be finished before getting adapted into an anime. It allows for some incredible forshadowing that the manga didn’t have. Only one of the paintings from Marcille's dream is from the manga. In the manga most of the frames are empty, but in the anime they are full of foreshadowing. It's such a fantastic bit of silent story telling. The openings are also riddled with forshadowing for the ENTIRE story, not just the season. As a manga fan I adore the adaptation

[@mellysandshrew]

I'm so happy that Trigger got to make this anime, it's one of my all time favorite series and the adaptation was so, SO lovely. It got a bunch of my friends interested in Delicious in Dungeon, which is on its own a net win for me. Thank you for this insightful dissection on how the anime really works for this show in particular!

[@m00nhwz]

Yay Dungeon Meshi! Edit: I want to say every video I am blown away by the way you craft them. Your editing is always on point and always leave me impress

[@linesinmotion]

😭😭 thank you so much, I'm glad the effort is noticed, I appreciate it !

[@yutarokida]

It works in every language too! Senshi in the healing scene in Latin Spanish he says "He touched my man boobs" and was hilarious

[@papadentist5742]

WAKE UP GANG NEW LINES IN MOTION JUST DROPPED Have only read the manga but this video is the biggest case for me to check out the anime. Great work as usual!

[@linesinmotion]

Ahhh, if you love the manga, I couldn't recommend it enough!!!! (if the video doesn't make that obvious 😂😂)

[@princessthyemis]

WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT!!!!!! I knew nothing about it and finally got around to watching it coincidentally when it ended AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!! it made me incredulous that I'd waited so long!!!!

[@user-gc8pg2gx7w]

first few sentences in and i am HOOKED, your take is based and as an animanga enjoyer, I greatly appreciate your perspective

[@drGeppo]

thankfully I'm not the only one bothered by senshi's mustache not moving when talking

[@linesinmotion]

When rewatching for like the 8th time, i noticed it moves in like .... 5 shots 😂 Not sure why they didn't just keep to doing it

[@hishamhasan1026]

Never been so early before. So excited for this video! I loved Dungeon Meshi

[@linesinmotion]

Ahh, thank youuuu!!! Let's goo!!

[@TrackingShots]

Woo! A new Dani video! And on Dungeon Meshi! As always, I’m blown away by how well you can make manga panels stand out - even panels that aren’t themselves that flashy like at 5:12. I’ve been really excited to see your take on the DM adaptation because I decided to watch it initially because of your past praise of the series. It’s great, this video is great, and now I want to read ahead even more.

[@linesinmotion]

Ah, thank you 😭😭 But I'm glad to hear you like the anime! And are you anime-only? I don't think the wait for season 2 is actually going to be too long (they've already got visuals set for upcoming arc already done, so I reckon next year, maaayybbbe early 2026 if you can hold out.) But the manga is so fantastic that I'd recommend it anyways 😂

[@TrackingShots]

@@linesinmotion I plan on checking the manga out after the anime finishes! And the World Guide as well.

[@linesinmotion]

@TrackingShots Oohh, you're in for a treat then 🤭🤭

[@Redgerman1]

Can we talk about chilchuck and his voice actor look like the anime/irl adaptation of themselves

[@mathidra]

He's Shinji's VA in the Evangelion dubs too!

[@HobieInTheBox]

I LOVE THAT SO MUCH

[@martendeboer9300]

12:44 I see what you did there, and I cant agree more

[@anarchysammichh]

I watched Little Witch Academia like three millennia and had no idea that Trigger produced both it and my current favorite group of idiots in a dungeon

[@mangedugruau7814]

makes me so happy to know that dungeon rabbits is also one of your favorite chapters, without going into spoilers i think it perfectly condenses all the best parts of dungeon meshi in a single arc

[@ravenpotter3]

I feel like the rabbits are a Monty Python reference

[@rw8160]

I've gotta thank you! Your video on the manga over a year ago got me head over heels into this series! I'm so looking forward to season 2!

[@linesinmotion]

I'm so happy to hear that!! 😭

[@karlowwanima8266]

As always, the quality of your videos is outstanding! This channel is one of the very few that I actually follow. (Also, as a French fan, I can assure everyone here in the comments section that the French dub is incredibly well done)

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you so much! 😭 But nice! I heard the german dub was good too, they must have done a great job all around

[@sle6423]

Comment before I watch this later! Edit: Watched it! Loved the analysis and the editing, its definitely clear how much you love Dungeon Meshi and Trigger! Great stuff

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you!! (And thanks for commenting before watching, appreciate that comment algo boost!)

[@o.ruoroch9869]

I only have you to thank for recommending me the Delicious in Dungeon comic and I totally love the animated adaptation. It is amazing and so faithful to the source material.

[@linesinmotion]

Ah, so happy to hear that!! And they really did do a good job 😊

[@Beghast-tv]

Your first video was what first pointed me towards the manga, so I figured you'd be over the moon with this show! Season 2 tho 👀

[@LanEXHikari]

Gosh you yapped so endearingly about it that I want to rewatch the whole season again, thank you very much! 😅

[@MossHouse]

Season two must be epic.

[@ryand5509]

So glad to see this! Your character design video convinced me to read this series and it’s become a top 3 favorite manga/anime for me. Thanks!

[@biomutarist6832]

Your video on the character designs in Dungeon Meshi got me into the manga before the anime was announced! So thank you so so so much for your work!!

[@yarrowsprig]

Everything was truly SO well done in every aspect, which feels so essential to a series that feels like it already has so much heart in it. :")

[@judie6727]

14:45 "Truly beautiful shots" : Shows Senshi fanservice.

[@rosenrot234]

The dub is fantastic. I practically raced to read the rest of the manga after this season was over. Never watched something from this studio before so it was a treat to see their specialty with certain sequences looking extra actioney.

[@la912]

Thanks to you I discovered Delicious in Dungeon, I read all the manga and I'm loving the anime. Thanks!

[@CLofMAL]

Preach honey! Btw If anyone wants an episode by episode manga comparison of DM i recommend Swamp Jawn's series. Really made me appreciate the details of the animation.

[@linesinmotion]

Ooh, will have to check their videos out - thanks for the shout!

[@gnaat]

It's always a treat to see a new video from you! Doubly so when it's related to Dungeon Meshi :D

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you!! 😊😊

[@Smitteys86]

I need to just start going through your videos and writing down a lot of the manga/anime that come up as examples, cuz some of this stuff looks so to my taste

[@linesinmotion]

haha, I do throw around a lot of examples tbh. All of them should be titled in the video, but I guess I could always throw them in the description box to make it even easier for folks like yourself!

[@Smitteys86]

@@linesinmotion omg it already looks like you put so much work into you videos, you don't need to do that! I'll manage!

[@dandyben9473]

Let's enjoy this delicious ride

[@princessthyemis]

This is awesome!!!!!! Wow, your videos are so good!!!!! I was considering rewatching an episode or two, but this makes me want to rewatch the entire series because it is so phenomenal!!!! .I really wish I had someone to share it with!!!

[@linesinmotion]

I've rewatched it like 3 times now (which, for me, is a lot in this timeframe haha)! And same, I have no-one irl to talk about the series, but luckily the fandom is massive on twitter!

[@ziiia]

"they ate, they served, they cooked" i'm in tears this was so funny and real and you said everything i've been thinking for the last few months. i'm a HUGE fan of this manga, and i just cannot believe it is being adapted so well.

[@alexevaldez]

Yesss for more dungeon meshi content ♥

[@chaotic_yuki]

I love your videos so much!

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you!! 🥹

[@JavanAnime]

These videos are always a treat! Fantastic.

[@almostcheesecake]

I'm also excited to see if Trigger decides to do more adaptations. I hope it's like once every blue moon tho, let them cook as much as they want

[@anaispeyron719]

I finished the manga not long ago and I'm so excited for the next season !!

[@linesinmotion]

Same here, I actually prefer the second half of the story more (though I love the first half a ton!) The rabbit arc..... Ohhh, I'm so excited!!!!!!!

[@fallingstar9643]

One of the things I love most about this show is how much like a tabletop RPG it is. And I don't mean in the setting and races and mechanics... I mean in how you have a group of people faced with impossible tasks and they gleefully find the most batshit crazy ways of overcoming it. "Hide behind the pile of dead bards" has the same energy as "I'm going to plant vegetables in a golem".

[@HobieInTheBox]

I actually watched it the other way around. I normally watch dubs, i have adhd and have trouble reading subtitles. But i rewatched the show 3 times before deciding i was interested in hearing it in Japanese. And i loved it just as much. They've done an absolutely wonderful job on this show.

[@FoxofAllTrades]

I've been waiting to see what you thought of the anime! I got really hype when I heard about it after watching your first video.

[@KillerTacos54]

YESS I've been so looking forward to this!

[@linesinmotion]

Hope the watch was worth it!

[@Ray-uu7cs]

I was introduced to dungeon meshi from your video so thank you

[@ofdragonsandbooks3979]

When DunMesh was airing, I always watched it while cooking dinner. It was fun :)

[@anthasya01]

trigger are one of my fav studios they only release masterpieces

[@uuh4yj43]

good dubs are always a blessing, i havent actually finished the dunmeshi anime bc of work but when i come back to it i might try the dub.

[@linesinmotion]

Dubs are great for me if I'm doing work, means I can look at my other PC screen without missing any subtitles haha. But I'd definitely recommend it!

[@Zifym.-rm9gr]

It is truly a banger of an adaptation, it did almost everything right.

[@sapphicvampire8504]

This anime was so fun to watch the first time i watched i think i binged 8-9 episodes🤯 i am so happy to get daydream hour its so beautiful to look through!! Also i find it poetically ironic thay Ryoko Kui is a picky eater and wouldnt pick a monster meal honestly real

[@SaiyanHeretic]

Great video, as always. Makes me want to go back and reread the manga. And when the anime is finished, I'll definitely rewatch it in English. Likewise for Frieren. Between these two series, I feel like anime has finally broken out of accursed isekai jail. Looking forward to Witch Hat Atelier too, since your last vid put it on my radar.

[@linesinmotion]

Yeah this last year alone has been great for fantasy - and next year we have Witch Hat, too!! Hopefully Magus of the Library gets more love aswell, there's some great stories out there.

[@_caseyanimation]

Dungeon Meshi is my favorite manga and Trigger is my favorite studio as well😮😮

[@linesinmotion]

Great minds have great tastes!

[@lippyausletzeburg1455]

16:35 i see. now i Know why i love here so mutch.

[@marymori8959]

Another amazing video !

[@hyobro8392]

Fully agree on how Laios hugging Falin is better in the manga - it's not that anime did it badly, but there's a rawness that only the manga manages to convey. It's my favorite pannel.

[@Nkanyiso_K]

It's not often that I've read the Manga before the adaptation but it sure does feel good, sometimes I don't even watch the show

[@linesinmotion]

I feel like that occasionally, can't lie - or I'll put off watching it weekly and binge it at the end, as I already know what happens. But sometimes.... Sometimes you get charms like this show!

[@Nkanyiso_K]

@linesinmotion I agree. Sometimes I feel like even though I didn't watch Chainsaw man, I'd love to buy the Blu-ray to support the series because I know season 2 is going to be devastatingly good (but I might be 33 by then 😅)

[@KitsukiiPlays]

“Beautiful shots in the show “ * Senchi * Indeed, indeed

[@noonesland2471]

2nd ED is AWESOME

[@Im-Just-Here-Dont-Worry]

Smoother than a babies bottom

[@merlumili]

12:04 lmao yeah, that moment is gonna be so funny when they adapt it. I can't wait 🐇

[@alonachiong666]

I watched it alone sub and I watched it dubbed with my brothers. Both were so good

[@marielcarey4288]

Youre so right comparing the release schedules or Delicious in Dungeon to From me to You. I was glad to watch it all at once, but it felt like it didnt stick as long, even if it was incredible and a step up compared to the past seasons. Even bigger bummer that i was excited to go into the 6(?)th episode, only to realise it was a recap (seriously why do they do that i hate it). Delicious in Dungeon though? There was something to talk about all the time, it was easy to digest (lol), anticipation was on a whole other level waiting for the thursday releases, i even rewatched the entire thing partway through because i wanted to watch more. If both shows came out with similar release schedules, i do still think Delicious in Dungeon would be more popular, but it would have helped From me to You's presence much more than how it released.

[@RobClouds]

Damn I had no idea that the English cast was so KZbin pilled. Really cool.

[@shirenya]

Thanks for another great Dunmeshi video and the spot on analysis! On this subject, my personal favorite is Bocchi the Rock! for also checking all those boxes. It's an amazing adaptation where a seemingly simple yonkoma manga has been elevated greatly and creatively by the anime medium.

[@linesinmotion]

Ack, you've reminded me I need to get around to watching (and reading) Bocchi!!!!!! The clips I saw of it online were hilarious. Need to get on that.

[@tintedpalette653]

The second OP of the season makes my brain melt with all the thought put into it. Reminds me a lot of mob psycho 100’s OP which became more amazing the more you experienced the series. The people behind this anime is just as brain rotted about it as the rest of us.

[@mudalaca01]

i wasnt going to watch cause i couldnt wait for all the episodes to come out and alread read the Manga, but now after this video, feels like i missed some fun moments

[@madnelliotss]

i will always glaze dungeon meshi. i love it so much

[@christopheraustin5915]

After Trigger’s recent transformers anniversary short, and the references in SSSS Gridman, I really want them to adapt Lost Light or More than Meets the Eye. I really want them to animate tragic robots kissing

[@ele6312]

I wasn't planning to watch the anime when it came out, I kept pushing it away but then I saw the translation/adaptation of the title in spanish (I'm mexican). They literally adapted "Dungeon Meshi", not to "Delicious in Dungeon" but to "Tragones y Mazmorras", which is a clever pun: Tragones means sweet tooth or glutton, if you change T to D, it spells Dragones (literally dragons). The mf who did the translation literally played with Dungeons and Dragons' title in spanish, Dragones y Mazmorras. Simple but clever and catchy af. Latin spanish dub is also good tbh. Tragones y Mazmorras, oh, tragones y mazmorras.

[@PinkiePyke]

I LOVE UR VIDEOS!!!!!

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you!!

[@holztisch011]

yoo new lines in motion video. The german dub is also fantastic, for me it is even better than the jp dub. I enjoyed this season so much, that I started the manga after the last episode aired and finished it in a few days. Can´t wait for seaoson 2

[@HollowTomajikate]

I binged it in a weekend

[@mastermavrick]

mhm Could not ask for a more synergistic combo for this work. And on top of the that colabs for merch as well lol. (Dungeon Meshi in Arknights)

[@gabrielsaiclon6705]

the spanish dub is also really good, ive watched it on japanese english AND spanish, and in each and everyone i felt the voices matched the vibes of the characters in general, if you speak spanish id recommend it watching it on the spanish dub too

[@cosmicdib4823]

Oh yeah, Sleep Walking Orchestra is gonna top my Spotify Wrapped. For sure.

[@MiriBON]

the anime was a gourmet meal form start to finish!

[@NeonAtary777]

The English dub was ELITE! Really enjoyed it and hope more anime has this good of an English dub.

[@haldir108]

Regarding dubs: On the high seas, there floats a copy of the first episode that mixes the different language dubs together. Chilchuck's slightly sarcastic tone obviously works well in english, but the undertone of arrogance just comes off perfectly in french Senshi, and nothing can beat the disparity between cute and angry like german Marcille. It's a showcase of how there is great dub-work across the world, and even though it is futule, i'd love to see the rest of the show in that way too.

[@d173adpool]

"How dare you gaze upon visage...." hahhaha
