Review

... • Story 📖 – 7.8/10
Season 3 takes a darker and more emotional turn. The plot focuses on Xenos—intelligent monsters who can speak and feel. Bell gets caught in a moral dilemma: should he fight them like regular monsters or protect them like fellow beings? This arc questions the nature of humanity, discrimination, and coexistence, making it the most philosophical season yet.

• Plot ⚙️ – 7.6/10
The story slows down compared to previous seasons, but the narrative is deeper and more thought-provoking. The conflict between Orario’s adventurers and the Xenos becomes the core, with plenty of gray morality and political tension.

• Characters 🧍 – 8.0/10
Bell is tested emotionally and morally. His compassion is both his strength and weakness here. New characters like Wiene (a Xenos girl) add emotional weight. We also see different sides of old characters, including Ais and the guild.

• Animation / Visuals 🎨 – 7.8/10
J.C.Staff maintains solid visuals, especially in emotional close-ups and action scenes. Designs for the Xenos are unique, and the direction during key moments is notably cinematic.

• Sound / Music 🎧 – 8.0/10
The soundtrack is atmospheric and emotional, especially during Wiene’s scenes. The opening and ending songs match the bittersweet tone of the season. Voice acting, particularly from Bell and Wiene’s seiyuu, stands out.

• Execution 🎬 – 7.8/10
Season 3 trades fast-paced battles for emotional drama and social themes. It’s a bold shift, and while not everyone may enjoy the slower pace, the payoff is meaningful and impactful.

Ulasan

• Cerita 📖 – 7,8/10
Musim ini membawa perubahan besar dalam nuansa cerita. Fokusnya bukan lagi pada petualangan Dungeon, melainkan pada para Xenos—monster yang bisa berbicara dan punya perasaan. Bell berada di posisi sulit: melindungi Xenos atau membasmi mereka demi kedamaian kota? Ini membuat ceritanya jauh lebih dalam dan penuh makna.

• Alur ⚙️ – 7,6/10
Alurnya lebih lambat dibanding musim sebelumnya, tapi justru karena itu narasinya lebih kuat. Konflik antara petualang dan Xenos penuh ketegangan moral dan intrik politik, membuat penonton ikut berpikir.

Bell tumbuh bukan dari kekuatan, tapi dari sisi emosional dan moral. Wiene sebagai karakter baru membawa sentuhan menyayat hati, dan karakter lain juga mendapat pendalaman, seperti Ais dan para anggota guild.

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka III eclipses its earlier seasons, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating what lies ahead.

Worst season of this series so far.

It's just so boring and predictable. The story line is Bell and co. finds talking monsters. They decide to save them. And have this grand ideology of monsters and humans living in harmony. It's been done many times before in multiple shows so I was already bracing myself. It can be a decent plot if executed well, but yeah- this show fell flat.

The main problem is this season is all about EXPOSITIONS. It just info dumps, nothing else. This happen, so this person now does this, then this happens, now they go there, and now this happens so they ... do this. Just information dumping every episode. There's hardly any interations. Hardly any character makes sense.

Bell is dumber than ever. Well, he was always dumb, but in an endearing way. This season he's just annoying dumb. He has two emotions. A blank stare 90% of the time, follow by anger (which accumulates to nothing). He's literally a walking statue as eveyrone dances around him. It sucks cause I think the first 2 season I felt he was amazing as the MC. This season he's fallen into the pathetic category of Subaru from Re:zero and Kirito from SOA. Speaking of Kirito, which they have the same VA- man his voice was annoying. I usually am a big fan, but this season he's either crying or literally growling from anger. It's kind of funny cause Bell is this teenager guy, but the VA makes him sound like some 40 year old wanna-be action hero.

Another pet peeve of mine in shows is the LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS. So many events can be avoided if characters just talk to one another. Oh your group disagrees with mines? Let's not talk at all and explain the situation. We'll just fight and then afterwards it'll all be a big misunderstanding because you know- we DIDN'T TALK FIRST. Hell, even the talking monsters didn't talk when they were fighting humans- because I'm sure that would make the plot too easy to solve.

All the other characters were butt cheeks, save for one. Again, no personality. No interaction. No growth. Just I do this, you do that, we fight, then I go there, then do that. Most disappointing is Ais. If you think Bell lacked basic emotions and communication skills, this girl is even worse. The new characters via talking monsters are all stupid. The new "main" is Weine, and she exist purely for "cuteness". Okay, I admit she did have one really great season moment got me pumped, but aside from that I found her annoying. The only one good character is Hermes- who actually has a an agenda and is actually smart enough to scheme.

The action- WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? There's no way this is the same studio that animated the first 2 season. One of the laziest animations I've ever seen. Every fight is short. There's no weight to them. Swing, dodge, swing, yell, punch, aaaaaaannddd it's over. I'm giving the action a big fat 0/10.

So is there anything good that came out of this season? Yes. The fact it does move the plot forward a little bit. You get a clearer picture of the other god's purpose and goals- thanks to the billion expositions every episode.

In short- it's very bad, and I honestly think you can skip everything except the last 2 episode and still be okay to start season 4.
