Umm, is that part outside spoiler tag supposed to be a spoiler, too ?

But thanks for sharing the explanation of what will go on.


I didn't really think the part outside the spoiler tag would really need one. After all Ouranos and the cloaked figure are characters from Sword Oratoria and the Dungeon have been mentioned to have it's own will from both S1 and Sword Oratoria's anime. The Dungeon's mystery and the Irregularities appearing is the whole overarching plot for Danmachi. The whole picking up chicks have lost it's comedic punchline since Bell fought the Minotaur Freya sent although of course it is still a fantasy harem.

I didn't like how the entire first season was about Bell trying to get stronger, chasing after Ais and the second season is like "eh fuck it, I guess I'll just love my goddess instead". Now I think that Bell is as bland and boring as a main character as it gets, but still I don't get what is he thinking or what is his purpose overall. The first season felt like it had a direction, the second season is just a clusterfuck of random stories stitched together.

1st season 8/10, 2nd season 5/10, average.


This is the outline of each arc of S2:

War Game: Bell's success in his dungeon adventures is the talk of the City and has captured the interest of the Gods. Apollo having noticed decides he wanted Bell to himself and plotted to challenge the much weaker Hestia Familia. Following the conclusion of the War Game vs Apollo Familia, Hestia Familia becomes an official Guild recognized Dungeon Venturing Familia and gets their own Familia Emblem.



Haruhime arc: I would say this is more of establishing Takemikazuchi's core members as they become mainstays of Bell's allies. Ishtar Familia is basically fodder to establish the strength of Freya Familia and their core member's introduction as well as Freya revealing herself to Bell, as in the one who is gazing intently at him. Haruhime herself and her role puts into question how far Bell is willing to go to be the Hero of his dreams. He breaks through the pre-established role of a prostitute being the downfall of a Hero. The author also claims to have wanted to give the City Orario some more life and ended up liking the idea of the Red Light District after reminiscing about Japan's period plays etc and thus Haruhime was born.


I'm throwing the answer to your criticism in a spoiler tag.

DO NOT READ IF ANYONE DOES NOT WANT THE THEMES EXPLORED IN THE UPCOMING S3 TO BE POSSIBLY SPOILED!!!!

Season 1: Dungeons and entertaining fights.
Season 2: Familia discord and more useless fighting.
Season 3: Hopefully we'll get back to Season 1 levels of entertainment next Summer.
...I mean, who am I kidding?

Season 2, after waiting 4 years of a continuation, is worse by a landslide for not promoting it's crux in the first place: Dungeons. I mean, at the end of Season 1, Freya definitely was expecting more of Bell, but Season 2 was one freaking wait TOO LONG to pursue Bell and "capture" him, intentionally recapturing the value of him within Hestia from other Familia, which IMO breaks up the action and story sequence.

In the end, with the unrealistic cliffhanger from last episode, we get a comfortable but emotional scenario with Bell and Hestia, and within the town residing with the rescue of Hestia. More about this Black Dragon shiz that Ais is involved with as well. All these are the things that Bell must anchor well going forward with Season 3.

5/10, that's being my very generous taste of wanting back the old DanMachi.

But knowing how much J.C.Staff's quality has dwindled in recent years, I'm really crossing my fingers that next Summer we'll see the resurgence of the old DanMachi once again, a well-produced adaptation that holds a candle to the original.

Pretty much the best episode of this season, too bad it came so late. I really liked the sentiment and for once the theme they were pursuing was much sincere than anything else in this season.

Of course, the wargames arc was pretty good (or at least episode 3 and 4). Also, I liked the follow up casual episode in the mannor two, even though it was nothing special. But whole Haruhime arc was just horrible and dragged and the worse, it took breath out of this series. At least those two closing eps were good.

All in all, I didn't like this season much but it had its moments too. Will probably watch season 3 and OVA when it's out.

6/10 Only four episodes was really good in this season (3-4,11-12), the rest was rather average. Bit disappointing for 12-eps season.

A calm episode to finish this season!

Ais with village outfit was surely adorable!

Sadly the mayor died, but Hestia gave him a nice last moments, changing into Brigid's hair style, she was cute that way!

The campfire and their moment was really important for their relationship!

Hestia and Supporter reaction after Haruhime hugged Bell was hilarious!

A new girl as appeared, looking forward to see her in season 3, i am glad that it was already anounced!

This season was certainly more mellow and could have used a little more action. None the less it wasn't time wasted, the time spent on the characters was good. I look forward to more.

First of all hestia and bell aren't dating and bell dosnt have romantic intrest in her JC staff have a thing for her and have sidelined ais as the main interest.

Bell just accepts hestias feelings but dosent return them . He didn't know how to put it into words but he does love hestia but not in a romantic sence it's more of a mother / god sence as she's basically someone who helped him when his grandfather died.


Reference the talk bell has with the two gods in episode 11

Ares was just forgotten about even though welf was the whole reason he was there in the first place yet again another thing they cut which would have expanded on the crozzo name and welf .

I think they also skipped why ares has his own country and is not part of main city

Also near the end Ares was told to wipe away all the exp his children got from the battle.

There was also a part where welf and hepthatus talk and shows us how much welf is committed to for his love for her and the length he would go to make her his.

Also skipped a bit with syr and some forshadowing for next season



This was a bad adaption and I thought season 1 was rushed with 5 volumes

If they didn't spend most of episode 5 doing bath's scenes they could
probably have added more of vol 8

Anyway 3/10 adaption wise and the animation was to be expected

At least they showed weine at the end

A pretty sad ending, i think it would have made the episode much better if they had shown us the guy meeting his goddess.

It was a great season! I can't say it was better or worse than the 1st one but i loved this one too!

So happy that we have another season confirmed! Can't wait.
I hope the next season has more of Bell leveling up!

I liked this finale. A lot of foreshadowing regarding next season, and quite a lot of characterisation for Bell, too.

This season was great. I liked the thematic concepts and character development that worked within the plot. 9/10

Also apprently the author wanted to name it differently but the LN Editor wouldnt allow it so he was forced to use the one it has .

If someone is Hestia ship, better give up cuz Hestia doesn't have a chance in LN. Bell still respects her like Goddess in the LN. So i hope Hestia will understand it on next volumes and will support Bell and Ais but this won't happen becuz Hestia still wants Bell's D. At least I am happy Oomori doesn't care anymore about her. But the J.C.Staff focuses more Hestia because they are fcking Hestia fan. Besides like a LN reader i didn't like the season. The season was very bad.
for the season my score: 3/10


I think epiosde 11 and the talk between Micah and hepthatus helps this episode .

It seems a few people have forgotten that convo

now the season is done. Tbh I still pick s1 is much better than this but it's not that bad at all. if s1 is 9/10, s2 would be 8/10. would love more adventure in the dungeon.

good ride. enjoyed it overall.

Good things: We got more characters, their lifes, stories, feelings...

Bad things: we got 0 dungeon adventures..

At the end i liked it, cause they showed us more of the danmachi universe.. but at same time im kinda dissapointed cause most of the series felt like filler or far from the original dungeon theme/story...

Hope 3rd season show us even more characters, BUT in a Dungeon atmosphere...

Ill give it a 8/10 plus +1 (Hestia Bonus) = 9/10...

Well, RIP Welf's character development. From what I have heard, this "arc" or Volume (or a part of it at least) covers some interesting events regarding him and his dilemma of being a Crozzo as well as his relationship with Hephaestus and how much he actually cares/loves her. Way to disappoint me again JC.

And so this awful season concludes. As expected, the harem comedy remained as atrocious as always and the fanservice was even worse. The balance between serious and "funny" moments was quite jarring as well and the general storytelling was mediocre at best.

2/10 - Season 3 was announced but honestly, I would prefer "Sword Oratoria" getting a second season with annoying Lefiya rather than having to deal with useless Hestia again.

The season wasn't as strong as the first one for me, i mean it was just very fun, but this episode really got me in the feels somehow, i really liked how vulnerable they showed Bell at the end with Hestia (she's the best for sure), sometimes the protagonists on some series just seems like they can't do wrong and continue growing without showing any real pain and doubt so this was really cool to me when he was crying.

Lets take the original idea we had for the series that made it popular... AND THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW.

That'll work for sure.

First Season 7/10
Second Season 4/10

This second season shouldn't even bear the same name as the first season.

The only thing I enjoyed was the second half of the opening... relatively speaking.

Also that ending scene better not be the fucking dragon -_-

A surprisingly emotional episode. Bell crying actually got to me a little.

Aiz also looked pretty cute in those clothes.

I think I enjoyed this season slightly more than the first but nothing was as good as the minotaur fight.

I'm looking forward to the next season.

Just finished the second season. Well a little disappointed to how they rushed it and kinda ruined it overall which was supposed to be two good arcs.
At least they ended in a normal and a bit of heartwarming way which was nice to see.
Ais and Bell saving hestia from Hades like heroes and then getting a nice village vibe for some relaxing moments while bell taking care of hestia

Ais and Hestia both looking pretty and adorable in the village outfits.



Really touching moment between old man karp and Goddess brigid. kinda bittersweet but Good feels. Rip Karm. Hope he gets to meet brigid someday.


The folk dance was a sweet moment as well. When Ais and hestia were dancing with the children and funny when hestia was scheming to get bell to dance with her since she heard the legend behind the dance xD

But the best moment came at near the end of the episode. The concept of a "immortal Love" between gods and their children. Which Hephaestus and the other god were trying to make Bell understand in Episode 11.


She can be jealous, possessive and yea a little annoying at times too but when the time comes she proves that she can be really serious and caring, especially for bell.

She in my opinion understands bell and loves him the most. I mean in the most tender and loving manner made him come out of his past trauma of abandonment and loneliness. Those lines from her were really sweet and heartwarming and comforted him so well. Lol he cried like a baby infront of her.No wonder Bell says she is the most important person to him. That was really touching.
Hestia proving why she is Bestia. I Hope now bell will start accepting her feelings since he wants to be with her now :)

and back to the familia we go with a warm welcome and the usual Antics xD


And a small sneak peak preview of the next season with a new Girl. In the just wanna say even though majority of the season was a disappointment due to the rush and some details being cut off. It was salvageable and worth to watch at least. Hope they do a really good job next season to cover up for this season and the OVA as well.
Cant wait for the next chapter of Danmachi. see you there.

That's more or less what I was wondering too. It either implied that she IS Brigid and had a blonde phase, or she can channel another goddess?

Can anyone with better knowledge of the universe clarify?


Also, this shouldn't have been a season 2, but more of a Bell continues to expand his harem outside of the dungeon.

I do always feel a bit bad about how much he likes Wahllenwhatsit and she more or less views him as a creature to be studied.

Honestly speaking I found this season disappointing compared to the first one. It's like the story just shifted focus to everyone wanting Bell instead of good old adventuring or dungeon raiding. The first arc was okay but second arc was boring. I am sure the last 2 episodes were just fillers but I kind of liked them.

The characters were some what annoying in this season too. And Bell seemed like the same generic MC he was in the first season with hardly any character development or maturity. This season also made me hate that scheming pervert Hermes who felt more like an antagonist exploiting Bell to further his agenda. Haruhime, Welf, Lili and Mikoto are nice addition to the Hestia Familia but I would've preferred new characters as the strongest ones(Welf & Mikoto) true allegiance lies with their own gods.

The action was also quite mediocre. The fight scenes were just clashing swords on swords until some gave up and then there is the most overused spell fire bolt. Like there was literally no creativity, no new spells, no new tactics.

I seriously hope the anime creators get their act together in season 3.

Funny how I predicted Apollo and a female goddess all female familia, but it ended up being Ishtar instead of HEra. Still wanted to see Ares, Thor, Baldr, Poseiden, Hades, Odin, and Zeus, as well as mezoamerican and african gods, but that never happens in anime sadly...show was okay, but got way too childish at times, breaking what hsould have been mature themed moments. The intro song sucked, and they did little to expand upon the dungeon, focusing on the gods petty bs instead. I still dont get why the show is called " picking up girsl in dungeons" Bell is too much of a sissy. Even Welf just sticks to his smithy instead of getting laid or anything worthwhile. At least HErmes was still kinda cool, but even he got schooled in the bed by Ishtar and cried like a little bitch. BArely a 6/10 show...

Wait I'm confused - in this series when Ishtar and Brigid "died", they simply returned to Heaven. However in the movie, when Artemis died, she just straight up died. Is there a reason for the difference? E.G. was it because while the other two died by straight up being killed (Ishtar bitch-slapped off a tower, Brigid killed by a monster), Artemis was actually consumed by a monster?
