| This episode is fine imo. They had dungeons and a simple art style. Clay seems to the main protagonist they are focusing on this episode and she has useful abilities including one being able to sense monsters. Kinda wish they didn't introduce goblins into this episode...as they are so overused in fantasy anime these days. Otherwise, it looks like this show is going to be a lot of dungeon exploration. Hopefully they bring in some variety. |

| If you've been fretting on that Dungeon Meshi greatness, mangaka Sui Futami has got you covered with his 2nd anime series of Dungeon no Naka no Hito a.k.a Dungeon People. Don't ever watch 2016's Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara, that short series is just bad. Ooh, a TrySail OP after quite sometime, and it's OK though. Akari Nanawo's ED is the same story here. Clay reminds me so much of Rougo 8-man's Mitsuha Yamano in her character design, though if she's trained in combat to face the challenges of the dungeon, killing monsters and collecting dropped loot, all in the pursuit as an expert thief to find her lost father for 3 years since. As she goes deep into the dungeon into unknown territory, she encounters intelligent monsters...and deals with them ever the same. The stronger monsters beneath that, however, give her quite the surprise because of a thin wall that shields...a private room? To think that the administrator of the dungeon is this dingy looking girl with a rather intense aura, taking care of what seems to look like residentualresidental quarters, Beilleheila Langdass may look normal, but her wanting Clay to work together since she needed help, the latter is essentially looking at the boss of the dungeon and challenging her to a duel, not just wanting to prove herself, but how far her lost father had come along...and the results speak for themselves. Rather than staying an adventurer, Beilleheila wanting Clay to manage the dungeon alongside her, it's a lot of work that the latter doesn't understand, but the former has connections that would make it seamless, and a regime that would get her acclimated to the dungeon. VA Sayaka Senbongi comes back to tackle the dungeon once again from her adventures as Dungeon Meshi's lovable elf that is Marcille Donato. That said, it's definitely an interesting take on dungeon crawling, though how will Clay survive this with Belle? |

| We've gotten Dungeon Food, so now we have Dungeon People. Also, what a 180-turn for author Sui Futami to go from a Magical Girl anime to this lol. TrySail's OP is upbeat. I'll give it that. Same thing could be said about Akari Nanawo's ED. Chasing after her father who disappeared into the a certain Dungeon, a young thief named Clay has been tackling its depths alone. After a long search, she finally reaches the unexplored 9th underground floor. Raised strictly by her father, she calmly continues her exploration of this new level. However, in the midst of a battle with a monster, an accident occurs and the dungeon wall collapses. From behind the crumbled wall, a living space emerges. As Clay stands bewildered, a girl claiming to be the dungeon's caretaker appears before her. Dungeon concept is basically like any other dungeon, multiple levels with each having a boss to defeat, to which after defeating you go to the next level rinse and repeat yadda yadda yadda. Ripoff Rin over here is a pretty bland character at least as of now. I think like Dungeon Meshi, this will be carried by it's worldbuilding and characters, because other than Ripoff Rin, or Clay, Belle seems and looks like an interesting character, with her being the final boss basically. Animation isn't anything crazy, but for an OLM show looks rather good for some reason. Decent start, all things considered. Just keep on expanding the world and the characters, and this could easily be a hidden gem of the season. |
 |
| Funny start. I like the concept of the show. |
 |
| My most anticipated new series of this season. I read some chapters of the manga and it was quite dialogue heavy. OLM did a great job with the adaptation. Potential hidden gem of the season. |

My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
| Pretty dull premiere as a whole. It looked okay but felt almost soulless watching this. Hopefully it gets better now that Clay's now working at the dungeon and there can be a bit more interesting stuff happening over there since this episode just felt very flat to me as a whole, including the setting there. |
| Idk, seems pretty basic and doesn't have anything especially interesting going on. The MC also doesn't have a lot of personality and is pretty taciturn. |
“We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams.” โ H.G. Wells, The Time Machine  |
| Seems like promising story and first episode. It was funny when floor boss just started talking to Clay like it was nothing. I thought Clay was a boy, but I guess Clay is a girl? If so, why such a low boyish voice for the character Clay? |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| I liked it, there wasn't anything outstanding but I like the tone of the show, it just clicked with me. |
| Imagine a monster getting interviewed to work in a dungeon lol |
| I'm seeing a lot of people say this was just alright for them but honestly I loved it, tied with senpai is an otokonoko as my favourite of the season so far. I love the cute simplistic art style and the opening is great too. Definitely isn't what I was expecting, but I'm also definitely not disappointed in the slightest. Compared to some of the other slop I've seen this season this is honestly great imo. I can't wait to see the next episode, very interested in what route this anime's gonna go down |
  |
| interesting start, this might be sleeper hit of the season for me. i like the concept, visuals are nice, and it gives me a cozy vibe for some reason. |
 |
| Well, this makes me want to play Suzukuri Dungeon again... guess that's where I'll be spending all my free time for a while. |
| I love this unique art style. I hope clay calm downs and relax. The dungeon have a lot to explore! |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Dungeon mgmt. pays well. |
| Not sure what to expect out of this. Generic fantasy setting, generic dungeon... Hopefully this first episode was just setup and more interesting things will happen later down the line. I'm getting some tsukkomi vibes out of Clay, so I'll see where this anime takes it with its comedy. |

| I will say that it was not what I was expecting just from a glance at the poster and read of the synopsis. I was under the mistaken impression that the longer-haired, lighter blue-colored hair girl (the actual dungeon administrator) was the main character looking for her father and that the shorter-haired, darker blue-colored hair girl (Clay) was actually a boy that she met along the way in the dungeon. So there was that having to dispatch with and disentangle away from preconceived notions to get my head around the actual dynamic at play. Overall, this is a perfect example of a series which could be something very interesting and special or extremely mediocre to lower tier generic slop. The first episode doesn't really give a good indication. It has a promising enough premise and basis from which to do interesting things (but that could be gleaned from the synopsis alone even without watching the actual first episode), but the first episode was pretty by the numbers and plain and simple; nothing especially creative or extra fun, intriguing, etc. execution-wise. So we'll see. Series like this are often why, for a lot of series, I watch two or three episodes (sometimes even four) before even formally adding it to my watch list (unless it was something I added to the PTW list long in advance of its airing, unlike this and many series where I only first learn about them as or right before they start airing). |

| Pretty good start. Why didn't she ask about her dad post-fight? The ending was nice too. |
| . |
| A lovely and interesting first episode. What wasn’t clear to me is whether Clay’s father died in the dungeon because of Belle, but it seems that doesn’t matter much to him anymore. I liked the OP and ED; they are both nice. |
 |
| Idky it feels like Yuru Camp in a dungeon |
 |
| I have so many questions. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Mitsuha took time off getting her 80k gold to go dungeon crawling I see. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Wow, what a cute series, and I didn't expect the MC to be a girl. This is a surprise, but also interesting. Looks like another series like how to build a dungeon. The 2nd girl that appeared is especially lovely. Awww |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| It's really different from what I expected... but that doesn't mean it's bad, it's just I didn't expect that the atmosphere would be this light... I hope there will be a surprise in the upcoming episodes |
 |
| Excellent start. Thought the mc was a guy at 1st until the boss calls her out. Nice fight scene, and love the heroines dad. |
 |
| It's interesting, it's definitely a different type of series, look forward to seeing what is next. |
| The premise is pretty interesting. It's not everyday you see an anime about managing a dungeon. The art style is really simple, though I don't think it's bad at all. I'll say it's a pretty solid episode. |
 |
| Seems like this is gonna be fun! |
| Dungeon Meshi is just ended few weeks ago but Sayaka Senbongi are back into Dungeon once again. Animation was clean, OST is Fire ๐ฅ Characters was cute, i like this. |
 |
| Honestly a pretty cute start. I do wonder what's up with the dad though. Not sure about the MC yet. I think this could be a fun little ride. We'll see! |
| Great start this looks fun |
| what happened in dungeon? in most of the anime, we get to know about the exploring nd raking but this is where this show differs and I'm really excited for this show. |

| I don't understand much of anything yet, kinda need to slow down on all these fantasy anime though, it's oversaturated. Also, I don't get what happens when monsters die? Do they "respawn"? Why? Do they just "hire" more? Who would sign up for that? |
 |
| OP music is horrible, everything sounds off-note. I know musical tastes vary, but i never heard worse music for this kind of show. |
