I think Dungeon Meshi is a masterful example of dense worldbuilding. I think as far as fantasy anime go, the author puts in maybe 10x more effort than the majority of other series into making the world coherent and interesring, Same goes for the amazing animation
for me it's easily one of the top adventure anime series ever, that's why I think that this work of art deserve more love

Fantasy has been oversaturated for so long many people simply bat an eye to a series of this calibre(Its peak 😼😼😼😼)
Majority of ppl are watching solo levelling or something

In my opinion the show suffers from a slow pace and not so good characters. They basically stay in one place for the entire episode which makes it more boring than it should be. The world building and adventure does still make it interesting, but the pace is too slow for me.

Midseason ratings are meaningless, wait for it to finish first. There's usually a very big dip/jump in ratings after a series ends. This started off at 7.6 I believe, so 7.72 is fine.

I totally agree, I really thought it'd be higher. it's getting a decent amount of traction but is unfortunately dwarfed by garbage like solo leveling

@Zerzo I just hope that this change in the next few weeks and people start noticing this gem, and hopefully will get another season 😌

There’s some great effort gone into the ecosystem of the dungeon including some serious biology. I wasn’t overly invested in the characters, but the last 2 episodes have fleshed out the backstory nicely. Overall, a good 8 with potential to get higher. But as usual, if there’s not constant fighting and shocking character deaths, nobody cares…

@breaker_not the fact that we will have a 24 episode is giving me hope, The Apothecary Diaries had a similar mid rating at first and now it reached 8.81 in addition next month the solo leveling rush will be over

@-Sleek- The characters haven't been too good up until this point. Laios' only character trait is eating, Marcille just complains, and Senshi eats everything as well. The only character that I haven't found annoying is Chilchuck. However they have been getting better these past few episodes. I'm not saying they are bad, they just aren't anything special so far, but they do show signs of getting better.

I would like to say a lot of things but I keep it short. You people are exactly what I have in mind when encounting insufferable people. I have no idea who you get to that conclusion but 7.72/10 it's not low and never be you don't change the value of mathematic on a whim. Mathematics are hard fact,the only reason you have to say it's low it's because to many people on mal don't use the scale 1-10 fully thus artificially increasing score. I think you give me a idea of a suggestion if someone don't use 1-10 in a his all score scores is not weighted.

Many people don't rate as they go, but only after it finishes.

Having said that, I'm annoyed how laid back they are when it should be a desperate rush to find his sister in time. Even if they have a relaxed attitude to death due to resurrection spells, they've established that there's a time limit and they need to both get a lot deeper and fight the dragon at the end...
