Laios obsession with eating foods is on an extreme level, I mean who could even imagine eating food inside of a painting… a fucking PAINTING of all things?!?!?! Lmaooo, but yeah, he’s that person who would want to. Though their world being their world, and his crew kind of giving up even willing to stop him, he literally went inside the painting… pictured after a royal family.

Found it hilarious how Laios was present on all important occasions pertaining to that prince, I mean from his birth to his wedding to his coronation as a king lol. But yeah, lastly he did enjoy a meal except he had a chance encounter with that dark elf, who for every reason wanted him dead. Safe there, but please stop longing for food drawings as a meal lol. Anyways, to think a master lock picker like Chilchuck would have a history of getting fooled by mimics was quite something.

But yeah, he got his character development and got one over mimic, who they quite literally ate later as a meal lol. Really, these people eat anything.. even a mimic lmaooo.

Also, being 29 and called super young and such would only happen in a conversation with creatures like elves and dwarves lol.

Those drumsticks looked delicious

This episode pretty much shows how a curious boy aka Chilchuck got too anxious and caught himself into some messy trouble. Getting stuck in a dark dundgeon with traps? Yikes. At least the episode had some delicious food as usual. Hope he learned his lesson.

His segment was definitely the most entertaining.

That's pretty wild, huh. Just imagine running into the same person at different times throughout history.

Laios and the gang stumble upon a remarkable discovery: a living painting housing a monstrous entity capable of ensnaring them within its depths. Despite warnings from Marcille and the others, Laios, driven by hunger, stubbornly believes that within the painting lies the promise of sustenance. Ignoring their frantic pleas, he ventures into the painting's surreal realm, where he glimpses a pivotal moment in the life of a person named Delgal.

I really like how Laios always manages to find hidden treasures during our adventures. It's because he's either too curious, too quirky, or just plain hungry to think logically! He kind of follows his instincts without overthinking things. And then there's Chilchuck, bless him, dealing with his PTSD and a genuine fear of traps. It's funny how he got upset about his tools being used as crab forks – he felt pretty disrespected! I find it really cool how much thought went into creating the behaviors of the creatures in the dungeon. Who would've guessed there'd be such detailed explanations for things like treasure bugs and mimics?

And yeah, eating a crab with only a bit of salt might not be as exciting as a fancy meal, but hey, out in the wild, you can't expect gourmet seasoning.

  • Though I don't know the source material, it seemed the first half omitted some story relating the royal family and the elf.
  • The latter half reminds me of "prince of Persia".

I feel like the living paintings will appear again in the future. Or maybe not. But the story recorded seemed really important.
Chilchuck's encounter with the mimic was so damn well-animated!
But isn't it bad for you to eat at night like that? Or I guess they were really hungry. Are the times when they sleep even affected by the time of day on the surface at this point?
Nice episode.

Living painting has a potential to be the most creative dungeon cuisine ever, so sad it's not edible. It seems like there's a whole new story behind these paintings and I want to revisit this lore at some point. Who're those royal family? Who's that elf?

I've to admit that the relationship between mimic and treasure insect make perfect sense. This is complete ecosystem in dungeon.

Deep in the dungeon, Laios and the party still needs real food, not the snacks of the Treasure Bugs. And entering a dining room, the Living Paintings provide food...though only to Laios thinking of the food within it. He has to take a gamble for it to suck him in...and immediately, he's pursued as a maid for a king and queen's newborn to bring food, though he quickly yeets out of it. Laios just needs the right setting, though he keeps jumping around Prince Delgal's happenings within the various Pictures, and one of them, almost had poison in it. Other than not being allowed to take food out, he has to consume on the spot, such as one on his coronation, and almost gets burnt by an elf, a court jester. When all was said and done, it was truly a dumb idea.

Back to the 4th floor, they find a kitchen with a chest...so much that Chilchuck found mimics all the while and gets his just desserts in the past. And now, he's in the same predicament that he's always been, facing mimics to flip switches to get out of a trapped jail, with the subtlety of almost injuring himself. It's thanks to the Treasure Insect that he's able to find his way out, and now the party has a mimic to cook and eat. And it's apperance like a crab, they can't quite get its meat out, which they have to use Chilchuck's picking tools as forks to consume its crazy good crustacean meat. But hearing from Laios that Treasure Insects eat Mimics, the 29-year-old sure has many lessons to learn from everyone.

The young Chilchuck, he still is a kid in heart.

Laios really be trying to eat anything, even pictures. That said damn the living picture chapter was this early? Author really dropped the big hints even way back huh. Chillchuck and mimic part was hilarious, poor guy has bad history with it but hey he took revenge by making a tasty meal out of it. Also he's 29, sure doesn't look like it but that's just cause of his race. Marcille with hair laid down looks beautiful btw.

Everyone else just suddenly vanishing from the table in the last Super Laios 64 level was genuinely kinda freaky ngl

Also, the way Shishi keeps his unblinking stare whenever he has to sit and wait for something is both hilarious and unnerving.

Nice, ep 6 finally has good animation like in ep 3.
All those vivid and dynamic movement and small actions + more simplistic artstyle , aka Triggers' trademark.

I'm starting to think there're 3 teams of Trigger working on this adaptation routinely.
So far every 3rd episode we'd have very good animation, and one episode that have lots of ppt static images .

Also Mimic in Dungeon Mushi looks delicioussssss as expected. Biggest crabs on Earth (drool)

Today's episode is probably the weakest of them all.

Whole Part A being centered in living pictures was pretty worthless because from the beginning we already expected dumb Laios' plan to get food would not work. The characters introduced may or may not be relevant later on, so until we get to that point they are worthless so far.

Part B was almost as pointless. They relay on "dumb luck" to get their dinner, despite rabid fanboys claiming that they are veterans and they are smart adventurers, but their trap guy falls for the most common floor traps (makes me even more convinced that them losing the food cart in the previous expedition was Chilchuck's fault).

6 episodes gone, and that's a quarter of run time of this episodic nothing burger.

@Kimurah Part A, presenting yet another creative way to eat in a dungeon (although unsuccessful) cannot be without value, this is literally what this anime is all about, why are you watching it if you are not interested in such things? wgl the concept of transporting yourself to images and traveling in time thanks to them is already interesting in itself.

Part B, Even the best can make a mistake, he fell into the trap because he forgot that the water was too heavy for him, i.e. previously he was too light to activate the trap, just one small oversight and there is a problem.

This is clearly not the anime for you, just drop it

Laios and his ways of trying to eat food never ceases to amaze me. This time, seeing him jumping into the paintings just to fill up his stomach was certainly ambitious, but it was also interesting to see the tree pictures he jumped into were all connected of the young prince from being born to becoming king himself. However, it did have an elf character that was there in all of those scenes and upon seeing Laios once more, he tried to kill him. It was a good thing that Laios was saved in time.

The latter half of the episode was focused on Chilchuck and his experience, or trauma if that's more accurate, with mimics. Sounds like he needs Frieren on speed dial to help him! XD

Putting that amusing thought aside, he did a good job in getting himself out of the trapped room while the mimic was attacking him at the same time. The animation for this particular segment was excellent, with many moments of pure sakuga reflecting well on Chilchuck's panicked movements in trying to deal with the issue at hand.

In the end, he was able to get out of the room and also killed the mimic, giving the party some delicious food to eat. I had to laugh at how long Senshi can sit still, without blinking, while waiting for the food to be ready.

Also, can we see more of Marcille with her hair down? She looks sexier that way, in my opinion! =P

@Kimurah

1) There is literally nothing that indicates that his plan wouldn't work. In fact, the fact that he is able to actually eat the food and get nourishment for it indicates that it can work, before we see why it doesn't.

What's the point of doing anything in a story if characters should only assume if things do and do not work instead of trying?

And no, characters obviously set up for the future aren't "worthless", this is foreshadowing and set-up, which are themselves basic storytelling ideas. Besides being a funny and amusing episode, we learn more about the dungeon's history and a character far too important to be left in a painting.

2) How was Part B pointless when we got to know more about Chilchuck as a character?

Do you really think everything about a story should be about smart characters are, and not in an actually smart, fun, and relatable fashion like the show is doing, but in your weird way where you insist they should read the script and know the outcome of everything before they do it?

Their trap guy was obviously fazed by his existing animosity for the mimics, which the show made obviously clear, and even then he succeeded in getting what he wants. We know more about Chilchuck, know more about mimics, even know more about treasure bugs. What was "pointless?"

6 episodes later and you're still complaining about how the show about killing monsters for food has the characters still kill monsters for food because you're mad that people say the show is good.

You're trying to prove you're smarter and better than these "rabid fanboys" and the author, but to be perfectly honest, your critiques are really dumb; you clearly want to look for issues, first mistake, but you don't even pay attention enough to know if they're actual issues, so you just go on about how the characters are dumb because they make mistakes, because you genuinely think "smart" and "experienced" characters are literally perfect and think they should do things that results in no story happening.

Don't care about character or worldbuilding or development or even the premise? Basic conflict is necessary for a story and you don't want that because you think if someone doesn't do literally the most perfect actions that only result in perfect outcomes, they're stupid? Chilchuck is very obviously experienced in traps, but he makes a mistake based on an emotional reaction so he has no experience? That's an extremely dumb reading, sorry.

What bugs me more than these poor-quality critiques, though, is that it's apparently just your front for seething about how people like the show and think it's good. You don't want to enjoy it because you hate that other people enjoy it.

You sound like you'd write the most trite, boring story possible, curated specifically so CinemaSins won't make a video about it (even though they will). Which is fine, I guess, but you also act like you're smarter than everyone else because of it?

I agree with @Ba-Cii10, the show isn't for you, watch something you actually like and stop whinging.

This episode was quite interesting, especially the part about the paintings; I imagine it will be related to the dungeon's history.

Chilchuck vs Mimic was a good confrontation, but I feel more for Chilchuck upon discovering that all the trouble that happened could have been easily avoided. In this episode, Chilchuck had a rough time, and now we know he is 29 years old.

It's hilarious when karens and ignorant kids act as if they know better on what I should be watching when I've been watching anime for more than 30 years and never needed advice on what to watch or what to drop.

The transporting element of the living painting is again a nothing burger, it's been done before (Mario 64, Dark Souls)and it adds nothing of flair to the pseudo story.

@Sneasy


1) There is literally nothing that indicates that his plan wouldn't work. In fact, the fact that he is able to actually eat the food and get nourishment for it indicates that it can work, before we see why it doesn't.


But he didn't get any nourishment my dear fanboy, stop making false narratives. It's no different than dreaming you won a million dollars or that you get to eat anything at a buffet. You can't bring any of that to the real world.


And no, characters obviously set up for the future aren't "worthless", this is foreshadowing and set-up, which are themselves basic storytelling ideas. Besides being a funny and amusing episode, we learn more about the dungeon's history and a character far too important to be left in a painting.


Foreshadowing is the weakest go to fanboys use to make something minuscule and worthless look like a big deal that somehow should be more important than you know... actual story development or chara development.


2) How was Part B pointless when we got to know more about Chilchuck as a character?


Knowing his age isn't something to call home about it. It was also quite expected given that he's a halfling or a hobbit like creature (not to mention fanboy source readers kept yapping about him being older than expected).


Do you really think everything about a story should be about smart characters are, and not in an actually smart, fun, and relatable fashion like the show is doing, but in your weird way where you insist they should read the script and know the outcome of everything before they do it?


Characters that duel in life or death situations should be more aware about their actions, because it burdens their companions. Though this show tends to give the main characters some thick plot armor (like being spared by the orcs just because they were pals). If this show was a lot more comedic like say Konosuba or Saitou in another world their idiocy and shenangians would feel more warranted in a comedic situation. I just don't feel this show knows how to create funny situations withouth resorting to cheap reaction faces.


Their trap guy was obviously fazed by his existing animosity for the mimics, which the show made obviously clear, and even then he succeeded in getting what he wants. We know more about Chilchuck, know more about mimics, even know more about treasure bugs. What was "pointless?"


Mimics are already copy/paste creatures from thousands of titles that have copied DnD stuff. Forgive me for not wetting my undies for the most basic and overdone world building.


6 episodes later and you're still complaining about how the show about killing monsters for food has the characters still kill monsters for food because you're mad that people say the show is good.


Six episodes later and you still keep barking at me like a rabid fanboy because I don't love your precious and only anime you're watching. I'm watching around 25+ shows this season, while you waste all your effort in nagging at me. Truly pathetic.


You're trying to prove you're smarter and better than these "rabid fanboys" and the author, but to be perfectly honest, your critiques are really dumb; you clearly want to look for issues, first mistake, but you don't even pay attention enough to know if they're actual issues, so you just go on about how the characters are dumb because they make mistakes, because you genuinely think "smart" and "experienced" characters are literally perfect and think they should do things that results in no story happening.


I'm not saying I'm smartert. I'm saying that rabid fanboys are dumber and blind, not to mention stubborn and butthurt thinking their barking will make me change my mind. Also I pay attention enough, I just don't find a lot of the "stuff" that happens remarkbale other than being overly focused on world building. This is why I call it a nothing burger, it lacks the meat other fantasy shows have done and are doing it better this season.


Don't care about character or worldbuilding or development or even the premise? Basic conflict is necessary for a story and you don't want that because you think if someone doesn't do literally the most perfect actions that only result in perfect outcomes, they're stupid? Chilchuck is very obviously experienced in traps, but he makes a mistake based on an emotional reaction so he has no experience? That's an extremely dumb reading, sorry.


Never said that basic conflict was the problem, quite the opposite, there's a massive lack of conflict so far that warrants such a lengthy episodic "adventure" being focused in the monster of the day, or the soup of the day that fits in the thematic. Professionals pretty much hold their value for acting you know professionals in their best field. Your poor excuse that everyone makes constant mistakes based on their emotional reacton makes me think you've never worked in a professional enviroment to begin with and that you're expected to fill in your own shoes.


What bugs me more than these poor-quality critiques, though, is that it's apparently just your front for seething about how people like the show and think it's good. You don't want to enjoy it because you hate that other people enjoy it.


They are poor critiques for you because they aren't sugar coated fanboy dick-ridding statements that serve as peer validation to inflate your own ego and fanatism. I bet out of those poor 6 comments you have in this board 4 are just nagging quotes against me for having a different unbiased view. And no, it has nothing to do with not vibing with it because other people enjoy it. But this is always the fanboy argument peeps like you love to play and live in denial with it. It's easier to create falsa narratives and strawman than actually accept other people have thier own personal opinions and different bars.


You sound like you'd write the most trite, boring story possible, curated specifically so CinemaSins won't make a video about it (even though they will). Which is fine, I guess, but you also act like you're smarter than everyone else because of it?


I'm not a writer nor ever stated that I am. Again, another poor lazy strawman that fanboys like you need to resort due to grasping straws. If it makes you feels special, don't be, all the time I've been here I've received at least half a dozen of peeps saying that they aren't interested in me writing fiction (when I never offered to write for them in the first place).


I agree with @Ba-Cii10, the show isn't for you, watch something you actually like and stop whinging.


I'll watch whatever the heck I want and will disregard salty karen demands like I always have been, not to mention I will also be true to my criticism because message boards where made for that, not to catter angry fanboy karens and their yearn for an echo chamber. Have a good day Karen.

The dark elf girl from the OP is finally here! I hope we’ll see more of her, she’s cute.

Lesson learnt, don’t go looking at art when you’re hungry. Laios was down so bad he went into the damn painting for food lol. And to his credit, it worked. The magic in this world is so cool. Definitely an interesting way to learn about some of the other types of food available in the dungeon.

The living painting’s residents being cognisant of what’s going on and having defences to notice that Laios was at all the prince’s important milestones is really neat

Second half of the episode was some great Chilchuck development. He’s probably been my least fave character in the story so far, but seeing him handle the mimic puzzle all alone was cool and he earned a lot of respect from me! Lived up to his master lock picker title.

I guess in the end he was right about Marcille noticing he’d been gone. It just happened after what could’ve been a deadly encounter for him 😂

Good to know 29 is still a kid to the dummei party, makes me feel better about turning 26 lol. Laios is gonna have to start adding an honorific to Chilchuck’s name now.

Gets handed free food, could just eat it or go straight back; lets follow the person to unknown dangers (if the food by itself wouldn't be dangerous).

Someone getting poisoned, coughing up blood and dying; oh well.

This episode felt rather stretched out, the humor of the living paintings didn't resonate with me. At least the mimic scene was quite good.

Do you really think everything about a story should be about smart characters are, and not in an actually smart, fun, and relatable fashion like the show is doing, but in your weird way where you insist they should read the script and know the outcome of everything before they do it?

Their trap guy was obviously fazed by his existing animosity for the mimics, which the show made obviously clear, and even then he succeeded in getting what he wants. We know more about Chilchuck, know more about mimics, even know more about treasure bugs. What was "pointless?"

6 episodes later and you're still complaining about how the show about killing monsters for food has the characters still kill monsters for food because you're mad that people say the show is good.

You're trying to prove you're smarter and better than these "rabid fanboys" and the author, but to be perfectly honest, your critiques are really dumb; you clearly want to look for issues, first mistake, but you don't even pay attention enough to know if they're actual issues, so you just go on about how the characters are dumb because they make mistakes, because you genuinely think "smart" and "experienced" characters are literally perfect and think they should do things that results in no story happening.

Don't care about character or worldbuilding or development or even the premise? Basic conflict is necessary for a story and you don't want that because you think if someone doesn't do literally the most perfect actions that only result in perfect outcomes, they're stupid? Chilchuck is very obviously experienced in traps, but he makes a mistake based on an emotional reaction so he has no experience? That's an extremely dumb reading, sorry.

What bugs me more than these poor-quality critiques, though, is that it's apparently just your front for seething about how people like the show and think it's good. You don't want to enjoy it because you hate that other people enjoy it.

You sound like you'd write the most trite, boring story possible, curated specifically so CinemaSins won't make a video about it (even though they will). Which is fine, I guess, but you also act like you're smarter than everyone else because of it?

I agree with @Ba-Cii10, the show isn't for you, watch something you actually like and stop whinging.

It's hilarious when karens and ignorant kids act as if they know better on what I should be watching when I've been watching anime for more than 30 years and never needed advice on what to watch or what to drop.

The transporting element of the living painting is again a nothing burger, it's been done before (Mario 64, Dark Souls)and it adds nothing of flair to the pseudo story.

@Sneasy


1) There is literally nothing that indicates that his plan wouldn't work. In fact, the fact that he is able to actually eat the food and get nourishment for it indicates that it can work, before we see why it doesn't.


But he didn't get any nourishment my dear fanboy, stop making false narratives. It's no different than dreaming you won a million dollars or that you get to eat anything at a buffet. You can't bring any of that to the real world.


And no, characters obviously set up for the future aren't "worthless", this is foreshadowing and set-up, which are themselves basic storytelling ideas. Besides being a funny and amusing episode, we learn more about the dungeon's history and a character far too important to be left in a painting.


Foreshadowing is the weakest go to fanboys use to make something minuscule and worthless look like a big deal that somehow should be more important than you know... actual story development or chara development.


2) How was Part B pointless when we got to know more about Chilchuck as a character?


Knowing his age isn't something to call home about it. It was also quite expected given that he's a halfling or a hobbit like creature (not to mention fanboy source readers kept yapping about him being older than expected).


Do you really think everything about a story should be about smart characters are, and not in an actually smart, fun, and relatable fashion like the show is doing, but in your weird way where you insist they should read the script and know the outcome of everything before they do it?


Characters that duel in life or death situations should be more aware about their actions, because it burdens their companions. Though this show tends to give the main characters some thick plot armor (like being spared by the orcs just because they were pals). If this show was a lot more comedic like say Konosuba or Saitou in another world their idiocy and shenangians would feel more warranted in a comedic situation. I just don't feel this show knows how to create funny situations withouth resorting to cheap reaction faces.


Their trap guy was obviously fazed by his existing animosity for the mimics, which the show made obviously clear, and even then he succeeded in getting what he wants. We know more about Chilchuck, know more about mimics, even know more about treasure bugs. What was "pointless?"


Mimics are already copy/paste creatures from thousands of titles that have copied DnD stuff. Forgive me for not wetting my undies for the most basic and overdone world building.


6 episodes later and you're still complaining about how the show about killing monsters for food has the characters still kill monsters for food because you're mad that people say the show is good.


Six episodes later and you still keep barking at me like a rabid fanboy because I don't love your precious and only anime you're watching. I'm watching around 25+ shows this season, while you waste all your effort in nagging at me. Truly pathetic.


You're trying to prove you're smarter and better than these "rabid fanboys" and the author, but to be perfectly honest, your critiques are really dumb; you clearly want to look for issues, first mistake, but you don't even pay attention enough to know if they're actual issues, so you just go on about how the characters are dumb because they make mistakes, because you genuinely think "smart" and "experienced" characters are literally perfect and think they should do things that results in no story happening.


I'm not saying I'm smartert. I'm saying that rabid fanboys are dumber and blind, not to mention stubborn and butthurt thinking their barking will make me change my mind. Also I pay attention enough, I just don't find a lot of the "stuff" that happens remarkbale other than being overly focused on world building. This is why I call it a nothing burger, it lacks the meat other fantasy shows have done and are doing it better this season.


Don't care about character or worldbuilding or development or even the premise? Basic conflict is necessary for a story and you don't want that because you think if someone doesn't do literally the most perfect actions that only result in perfect outcomes, they're stupid? Chilchuck is very obviously experienced in traps, but he makes a mistake based on an emotional reaction so he has no experience? That's an extremely dumb reading, sorry.


Never said that basic conflict was the problem, quite the opposite, there's a massive lack of conflict so far that warrants such a lengthy episodic "adventure" being focused in the monster of the day, or the soup of the day that fits in the thematic. Professionals pretty much hold their value for acting you know professionals in their best field. Your poor excuse that everyone makes constant mistakes based on their emotional reacton makes me think you've never worked in a professional enviroment to begin with and that you're expected to fill in your own shoes.


What bugs me more than these poor-quality critiques, though, is that it's apparently just your front for seething about how people like the show and think it's good. You don't want to enjoy it because you hate that other people enjoy it.


They are poor critiques for you because they aren't sugar coated fanboy dick-ridding statements that serve as peer validation to inflate your own ego and fanatism. I bet out of those poor 6 comments you have in this board 4 are just nagging quotes against me for having a different unbiased view. And no, it has nothing to do with not vibing with it because other people enjoy it. But this is always the fanboy argument peeps like you love to play and live in denial with it. It's easier to create falsa narratives and strawman than actually accept other people have thier own personal opinions and different bars.


You sound like you'd write the most trite, boring story possible, curated specifically so CinemaSins won't make a video about it (even though they will). Which is fine, I guess, but you also act like you're smarter than everyone else because of it?


I'm not a writer nor ever stated that I am. Again, another poor lazy strawman that fanboys like you need to resort due to grasping straws. If it makes you feels special, don't be, all the time I've been here I've received at least half a dozen of peeps saying that they aren't interested in me writing fiction (when I never offered to write for them in the first place).


I agree with @Ba-Cii10, the show isn't for you, watch something you actually like and stop whinging.


I'll watch whatever the heck I want and will disregard salty karen demands like I always have been, not to mention I will also be true to my criticism because message boards where made for that, not to catter angry fanboy karens and their yearn for an echo chamber. Have a good day Karen.

This is a metric ton of yapping, but nothing being said. Who here is even a "Karen"? Are you seriously calling anyone who disagrees with you a Karen? Ironically Karen behavior.

Kimurah said:

He did get nourishment when he was in the painting, pay attention. It's only when he left that even the food he was digesting disappeared. He expected the food to taste like paint in the first place. The only way he knew that eating the painting food wouldn't work is to actually try, so no, it wasn't obvious from the start.

Again, why do you hate the idea of characters doing things? You really want them to read the whole script, huh.

Kimurah said:
Foreshadowing is the weakest go to fanboys use to make something minuscule and worthless look like a big deal that somehow should be more important than you know... actual story development or chara development.


Foreshadowing is intrinsically story development, LMFAO. It is literally the set-up of future payoff. How do you think this is critique? Shitting yourself over "fanboys" doesn't make what you say any smarter.

Kimurah said:
Knowing his age isn't something to call home about it. It was also quite expected given that he's a halfling or a hobbit like creature (not to mention fanboy source readers kept yapping about him being older than expected).


His age wasn't the character development, his willingness to tell them his age was. Chilchuck has been very secretive and evasive, and that almost got him killed, so he decided to open up a little about the most basic detail about himself. This is basic stuff.

What fans spoil has nothing to do with the story, fumblebuck. Imagine saying that Star Wars is bad because people spoiled



I don't know what the spoiler policy is here so I'll play it safe, even though it's the most obvious thing ever.

In-story, they thought (still think) Chilchuck a child, so him turning out to be older than Laios, who is cleraly an adult, is surprising. Funny, even.

You haven't even read the source material yourself, but you're already mad people like it?

Kimurah said:
Characters that duel in life or death situations should be more aware about their actions, because it burdens their companions.


He was literally locked in a room. His companions weren't in trouble. He was. He was in trouble because he wanted to avoid a threat that flat-out killed him several times before. He was so worried about this that he forgot about the regular traps.

Again. Why. Do you hate. Characters doing things. "Characters shouldn't do things if it carries literally any risk". You are so fucking boring.

Kimurah said:

Are you bragging about bothering other threads with idiotic takes like "foreshadowing is not story development"?

Kimurah said:
Mimics are already copy/paste creatures from thousands of titles that have copied DnD stuff. Forgive me for not wetting my undies for the most basic and overdone world building.


What other media has mimics be secretly crabs who are preyed upon by bugs that look like coins and jewels? You think that a story using a common trope to do something new isn't worth paying attention to? That explains a lot. You clearly think you're too smart for the show, which is why you sound so dumb about even its most basic decisions.

Kimurah said:
I'm not saying I'm smartert.


You certainly aren't "smartert", no, lol.

Kimurah said:
I'm saying that rabid fanboys are dumber and blind, not to mention stubborn and butthurt thinking their barking will make me change my mind.


"fanboys are stubborn for thinking that I'm not stubborn, I refuse to change my mind even when I'm objectively wrong".

Kimurah said:
Though this show tends to give the main characters some thick plot armor (like being spared by the orcs just because they were pals).


That's not what plot armor means, you sound like a YouTube commenter. Do you think "plot armor" is when characters don't die? It's not even like getting ambushed by orcs was a mistake they made either. You're actually just mad they didn't die for no reason.

Senshi's prior relationship (and considering that he LIVES IN THE DUNGEON, it's not even out-of-nowhere that he would know people who ALSO live in the dungeon, pay attention) didn't save them; their vegetables and promise of cooking a meal (wow!!! Food being relevant in the food show!!!) saved them.

Kimurah said:
If this show was a lot more comedic like say Konosuba or Saitou in another world their idiocy and shenangians would feel more warranted in a comedic situation.


How is jumping into paintings to eat painting food not comedic?

Kimurah said:
I just don't feel this show knows how to create funny situations withouth resorting to cheap reaction faces.


I love the terminal lack of self-awareness to say "reaction faces aren't funny. Now Konosuba, that's a totally original comedy". I love Konosuba but lol. Reaction faces is 80% of its comedy. But you want this show to be that? Well, no one ever said you had actual standards. Reason #5 that you don't even believe any of your own critiques, you're just trying to be spiteful lol.

Kimurah said:
Also I pay attention enough


You didn't even remember the monsters from last episode, lmao.

Kimurah said:
I just don't find a lot of the "stuff" that happens remarkbale other than being overly focused on world building.


You thought Chilchuck's character development was about his age; that requires a certain level of idiocy that does imply that you watched the show, but explicitly indicates that you don't pay attention; not to the show, not to the very concept of "character development".

Kimurah said:
there's a massive lack of conflict so far that warrants such a lengthy episodic "adventure" being focused in the monster of the day,


They literally fought a monster this episode, lmao. What the fuck else is a monster-of-the-week involving literally monsters supposed to be about?

"Duhhh, fighting monsters isn't enough conflict for a show about fighting monsters" Do you hear yourself?

Kimurah said:
Your poor excuse that everyone makes constant mistakes based on their emotional reacton makes me think you've never worked in a professional enviroment to begin with and that you're expected to fill in your own shoes.


Do you actually work? Do you actually have a job? You must not have one, if you actually think literally everybody with a job does theirs perfectly or get fired. That's what children, or people new to the job market think. Shit, most people barely do their jobs at all if they can help it, lmao.

Wait, who the fuck is even going to fire them? They're adventurers. They don't have bosses. If they truly fucked up, they'd be dead; they're not, so they didn't.

Kimurah said:

Kimurah said:

The only even slightly coherent thing you say is your whinging about "fanboys" and "Karens". So yes, it's clearly about other people liking the show.

Kimurah said:

You don't need to be a writer to critique; you just happen to not know how to write or critique.

Kimurah said:

This big ass post yapping and crying about "Karens", but you're totally a free independent thinker, lmao.

How are you this proud of being petulant? Getting this mad about people who like Delicious in Dungeon. This is clearly your first time watching, but you already decided to be a little baby with nothing to say because you think you're fighting "Karens".

Every word out of your mouth that isn't the dumbest possible reading of the show is complaining that people like the show. These two ideas are related; to "spite the Karens", you try to nitpick at the story, but you can't even do that right--is it that hard, when you clearly just have the second monitor running while you're watching Family Guy on the first?

The first half of this one with the Mario 64 style paintings was very interesting, of course you had Laios being goofy as usual wanting to eat the food in the paintings but you also had the progressing plot each panting had, and it was very good buildup to the last moment where the dark elf noticed Laios didn’t belong there and everyone else at the table was gone, it was actually kinda creepy lol, I liked it, and I hope we get more on this plot in the future but it would also be cool if it was just something small like this.

And we got a very Chilchuck focused 2nd half, it was nice learning more about him and his history, including his fear of mimics lol. And it was cool how he ended up getting trapped in an escape room, it seemed like it would be tough to break out but the solution was actually simple, only the mimic was making it difficult lol, some awesome animation there too, one of those moments you remember this is a Trigger anime lol. And of course Senshi and Laios wanted to took the the mimic, and giving that it looks like lobster it would be tasty. And lastly I really enjoyed the derpy expressions here and there this episode, I could get screenshots of Marcille all day lol.

Physically and mentally Marcile has been taking the brunt of the comedic effort now its Chilchuck's turn. Seriously I'm really glad the elf girl didn't get hurt this episode we desperately needed to switch it up. I'm also glad we got more fun info on ChilChuck, feels like he was seriously missing some backstory unlike his other teammates.

What another great episode. Starting it off with them being hungry 🤤 and trying to find some dungeon monsters to take care of that hunger. It’s a shame the living paintings cant be eaten and anything you eat inside or try to bring out won’t come with you 🖼️ but the second half of the episode was just as good. This show is so refreshing. Can’t wait for next weeks episode

Ahh I love Laios's open-mindedness with painting food, I also would've been interested in trying it! I also really liked the mini story in the paintings with the prince growing up, getting married, and becoming king. Scary how Laios got busted by the elf tho—always have an escape plan ^^

The Chilchuck-focused half was also great, but wouldn't heating up the picking tools change their shape and hinder their use later??

"Should I call you sir?" XD

Chilchuck and Frieren - Mimics' fave food.

It's also funny because Chilchuck has 3 daughters, and one of her daughters wants to get married to a rich dwarf.
He is also kind of wary of Senshi and does not want that daughter of his to meet him because she might take a liking to him.


Anyways, that was also some nice experiment with the Living Paintings there. It is funny that the elf was aware of the world and knows that there is an external variable inside. 😆

The monsters are always super creative in this series. Both the living painting and how mimics are fuck off lobsters. Plus the coin bugs eating mimics and then becoming fake chests of treasure to trick humans is such a creative idea.
