welcome to my overcritical & super quick review
very light spoilers below
story 4/10 - an 8 year old could write something on the same level but at least it was coherent
characters 4/10 - extremely generic & less depth than the kiddy pool. their backstories and motivations were barely explained and range from "MY FRIENDS WERE ALL KILLED AND I WENT ON A QUEST FOR REVENGE" to "MY DAD DIED AND I WANT TO BE AN ADVENTURER BECAUSE"
sound 6/10 - it was okay, not close to Hiroyuki Sawano level
art 7/10 - i enjoyed the art style even if it was generic, had a nice fantasy and warm

Overall score: 6.2/10
The world of DanMachi (short name for the Japanese title of this series) is interesting. The system that's used in this world is in accordance to what Family you belong in, as it determines how you're going to go on adventures. If you are in a family with a lot of people, then it's likely that you'll be going in dungeons with multiple other individuals. For the main character, since he is the only member in his Family, the Hestia Family, he goes on adventures alone--and that played a big role in his development throughout the series. Although DanMachi is enjoyable, and although ... Jun 3, 2017
Danmachi (not typing out the show’s title) was a show that frustrated me. There are the seeds of something good in this show, but unfortunately, it falls into a bad pattern of pandering and bad characterization that left me pretty cold after a few episodes once I got a better feel with what the show was going to be.
I took a shot on this one, as I watched a couple fantasy anime and this popped up on my recommended list and showed a decently high rating. To be fair, this show isn’t the worst in this genre that I’ve seen, and there are ... Jun 29, 2015
If you've watched SAO, then you're wasting your time here. The level system is highly over-used and the story is nothing special. The art and sound are mediocre. There is a strong lack of character development (leveling up doesn't count). This, and MANY other cliches killed my enjoyment.
Also, getting REALLY tired of hearing the same fucker voice every MC. Jun 28, 2015
DanMachi is a show that doesn't try to be much of anything other than a decently entertaining watch to pass the time (and to drum up light novel sales, but that's another story).
The story is nothing to write home about. To try and make it seem like DanMachi is doing something original with the players getting trapped in a video game premise, because for all intents and purposes, the real world IS the video game. Granted, it is fairly interesting seeing simple gaming terms such as leveling up and skills being name dropped in a setting that isn't actually a video game, but it ... Aug 1, 2015
Score: 6.4
First thing's first, if you haven't already watched an anime in the VRMMO-type category (including SAO, Accel World, or Log Horizon, to name a few) then watch one of those first, to see just about everyone else's perspective. Art: 8 - The character and enemy models generally aren't the greatest, compared to anime that came out a few years before it, but the environments and effects are done well enough. I like that the character models are somewhat differentiated. Sound: 8 - I'm not the best judge of this category, but the intro song is alright and the sound effects match the action well enough ...

This is a spoiler-free review adapted for this site)
[Synopsis]: In the city of Orario lies a labyrinthine structure of floors called the Dungeon to which adventurers and craftsman journey from far and wide in attempt to make a name for themselves and explore the mysterious Dungeon. Adventurers partner up with gods and goddesses to form Familias in order to better vanquish the monsters of the Dungeon and form guild-like communities with one another. Bell Cranel (Matsuoka, Yoshitsugu), the sole member of the Goddess Hestia’s (Minase, Inori) Familia, is a fledgling adventurer with aspirations of love and heroism. Along with his goddess Hestia, he strives to ... Jul 18, 2015
I've heard many rumors of this anime going on and is pretty good so I gave it a shot.
I didn't really like the anime and I'm going to explain why. 1. Bell was the main character, and around him were many girls who really loved him and worshipped him. (Harem) which I didn't see "Harem" in genre. 2. Bell's personality is annoying and uninteresting, he is just pathetic, always being sorry for everything and a real coward. 3. Bell is OP. To avoid spoilers, I'll just say he's really OP. From reasons 1-3, I'll rate the characters with a rating of 5 4. Interference in every interesting scene. When ... Jul 14, 2015
Video Review is up on my Youtube Channel, but here is the written review.
Story - 5/10 To keep it simple, I’m going to refer the show as DanMachi since the title is shorter. A long time ago, gods from the heavens decided it was time for them to have some excitement in their life, so they went down to the world, to live with the inhabitants below. Now this world has a place known as the Dungeon, where creatures when slayed by Adventurers, drop shards which can be exchanged for many things in the world. Bell Cranel is one of these adventurers, and goes on these ... Jun 27, 2015
It is a very mediocre anime, I am not saying that as an insult, it's just the best description of the show.
Character: they all are recognizable anime stock characters. The distant, overly-capable love interest, the hero that needs to grow up, the friend with a support role, several side love interest who don't stand a chance; anyway all very well done but with no excitement. The main character is the weakest link, since he is just the hero as designated by the plot, he goes into the dungeon as every other adventurer, but because he got an special ability which lets him level up faster ...

if you are fan of battle adventure anime, you might think this anime just as another fail battle adventure anime (if you finished watch it of course). at first you might enjoy it, because I myself found it enjoyable to watch this anime, but it doesn't last long until I found how this anime end.
OMG, I just still can't believe that they really end it that way. they simply rush the art at the last episode and the ending of the anime it self. despite that there are a lot of thing that they still should explain to us. "sorry, I just can't stop complain ... Mar 2, 2017
(TO MAKE MY ALL MY REVIEWS WELL ANALYSED AND FAIR, I WATCHED THE WHOLE SERIES TWICE AND LIST DOWN THE PROS AND CONS IN THE SECOND TIME)
Is it wrong to pickup girls in a dungeon? Never found the answer, not eager to keep searching. STORY - 4/10 (Evaluation for the quality of the story of this series is made void of other factors, like the artistic value, sound and characters) We can all agree that a story is what makes an Anime worth considering or not. When it comes to this series, honestly, the story is so mediocre, that you'd confuse it as an adaptation of a ... Jul 4, 2015
Danmachi is objectively better written than madoka magica and SAO.Cause unlike those shows,it can keep its story and tone correct.
The story follows a boy named trying to clear dungeons.His progression is the story itself. Bell-I like the fact that he has his own goal not born of angst, or "save the world bs"(all shinji ikari clones like Kirito)He just wants to impress a girl who saved him at the start.He does go through trials get friends who help him later on.The series has some very impressive close fights(minotaur fight ftw),and he is not an overpowered Gary Stu like kirito(still cant beat his love interest lol).He is ... Jul 13, 2015
I would not rate it higher than five. It is a light comedy anime, light plot and i dont really find anything really especial going on. There was a bit of suspense at one point which led to nothing really. Also, it could probably need a second season.It tends to get a bit boring. Of course, we see the rise of a hero; from a weakling to struggling to be powerful, fighting. It doesn't quite leave the after effects of a good anime, where you really want to rewatch it, but it's an alright watch.

For generations the question has been asked, over and over again, "Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon". Truth be told I went into this show not knowing what to expect, seeing as how depending on the answer to this question, my life, the world even, could fall into ruin. For real though, this show doesn't really bring anything new as the sole purpose for its creation is to pander to the easily satisfied masses who are more likely to watch a fan-service show filled with swords and magic than a psychological thriller. This show falls into the still growing genre known

The title is a cute hook, which fails to deliver, because the protagonist doesn't actually pick up girls in a dungeon.
I didn't expect a whole lot from this, and I wasn't disappointed -- there wasn't much to it. If I were a lot younger, I might have liked it, but now I need my stories to have more depth. Story (5/10): Here's your generic RPG story. It has enticing aspects, like the gods from various pantheons have descended to this vaguely medieval fantasy land and formed guilds, so-called "familias" to further their specific interests. Since I love mythology, that idea made the anime tempting, ... Feb 11, 2023
This might be the most misleading title of an anime ever.
You go into this thinking the main guy is some kind of sleaze ball who spends his time hitting on chicks the whole time and it just isn't. Bell is honestly a sweet and caring guy who just wants to get strong for Hestia. But because this is anime he is always getting into the most uncomfortable sexual situations. And yeah there's a lot of unwanted gross fanservice when it comes to the female characters. It can be a bit hard to get past all of that. But if you do it's honestly a ... Jan 17, 2016
Your time is important to you, so instead of rambling; I present to you th mmnlst’s 5 Question Minimalist Review!
Was the anime enjoyable? As much as the anime was nothing original, it still provided me with many moments I found enjoyable. The animation, fight scenes and voice acting were all very well done. If nothing else, this anime is enjoyable when you don’t really think too much about what you’re watching. 2/2 Did the anime accomplish what it was attempting to do stylistically? DanMachi on a stylistic level did not take many risks or do anything that I’ve never seen before. It accomplished its role as a ... Jul 26, 2015
I really didn’t expect anything from this show when I started watching it, only deciding to give it a try because of wanting to try as much of the new shows as possible. I was surprised that this show ended up becoming one of the more popular shows of the season, it just looked like one of those shows that would be mainly overlooked. But of course, this is anime, where fan-service, harems, and overpowered protagonists are all the fans care about. But putting aside popularity aside, let’s talk about if the show is any good.
Story + Characters The show is very simple. There is a ... Aug 25, 2015
I don't know why I even started watching this in the first place. The title should have been an immediate red flag saying "DO NOT WATCH THIS" but for whatever reason I ignored it and found that, hey, it turns out the title is really misleading! This isn't about picking up girls, it's about a kid trying to become a hero! What a relief. It's a shame it didn't continue to surprise me by being really good.
I will say to this series' credit, it's got some of the best visuals of anything I've ever seen. The animators did a fantastic job on DanMachi, kudos to ... |
