For some reason I didn’t vibe with it the first time I watched the first episode but gave it another shot after seeing it so highly reviewed. Definitely worth watching.

I wish there were more Dwarfs though I got Dwarf brain. Whenever Eisen isn’t on the screen everyone should be asking “Where’s Eisen?”

    I really love it because it’s doing straight fantasy as opposed to fantasy as filtered through an isekai or some shit. It’s great having a setting that doesn’t have to worry about that.

      I like that it also feels like the down moments of a DnD campaign. Those are some of my favorite moments of playing. Just role playing and riffing with the group.

      have you read dungeon meshi? because i think that’s starting in january and is also an excellent straight fantasy*. clearly inspired by dungeon crawler games both tabletop and video, but no bullshit

      *well, straightforward. not entirely hetero though

        spoiler

        in the subtext perhaps. There is no explicit romance in the story either hetero or not, and that’s something I kinda like about it. Also, in the succubus arc - Izutsumi is the only one of the party to not have any sexual fantasy for the creature to turn into and lure her with, basically making her canonically asexual.
