| Episode 2 is out Looks like we got quite an adventure at the lower floors and depths of their world. I think this season has been trying to expand its world fiction content. This episode really had that adventure vibe featuring Lili, Sanjouno, among others. This episode felt like exploring a video game level in some ways. |
 |
| It's nice to see Bell being actually strong. That fight at the end looked good. |
| Pretty good episode. A nice and mostly slow one, but still felt like it went by fast. I dug the conversations between the crew as they made their slow trek into the lower floors, with Aisha emphasizing how it's a whole different ball park in those areas. Lili cracked me up with how stubborn she is about expenses and wasting time only to then get easily persuaded by her team when they tell her the value that the coral carries. The little bit of action near the end with Bell and that monster was pretty dope. The OP and ED for this season are also really nice. |
 |
| Pretty much still in the remember the audience of past seasons. That moss monster attack made me remember of Hanabi battle from Jujutsu. |
 |
| The episode was pretty relaxed for the most part so that intense ending was something i expected. I guess a new enemy appears and one that claimed the lives of a few adventurers already the question is how will they heal their teammate and how will they defeat the monster. The other part wasn't lucky enough to survive tho. |
| Really loving the adventuring atmosphere this season, getting excited. The waterfall looked beautiful. Though the situation sure got messed up fast, so that's what she saw in her dream. I hope Chigusa's fine. |
 |
| This season is a pretty good step up from the previous seasons in all aspects which I am definitely glad for. We got the classic exploration episode this week with Bell delving even deeper into the craziness of the dungeon and that took up majority of the episode but is welcome since I always am interested into seeing how bad things can get. The episode itself ends off with a very nice fight scene made by one of the best animators JC Staff has (Kenichiro Aoki the GOAT that carried OPM's animation in season 2) so I am very intrigued to see what comes next.  |

| All the girls are fawning over hell haha. He’s a proper level 4 hero now. He even has a sweet blade, Hakugen. He’s really coming into his own as an adventurer and a leader. Lili is becoming quite the little strategist! Hooray for the lower floors! Haha. The gang’s making bank, too! Mikoto was pretty badass this episode too. That somersault move was sick! Looks like the gang saw a blue crab today. Nasty creatures. Lol. Little Oblivion reference for you guys. But these monsters are getting crazy tough. That thing Bell fought was insane. I hope Chigusa is recovers. That “dream” was more like a premonition… idk how the gang’s gonna survive the lower floors with creatures that insane roaming around. |
 For a sec I thought that was Aiz lol. |
| This episode felt pretty slow in the fastest way possible. Maybe me pooping while watching the episode made it feel alot faster lol. Loved lili this episode, and pretty cool fight in the end there |

| That final fight against that bog monster looked sick. Some quality Saguka |

| I just LOVE seeing Bell’s growth from this shy and timid kid to leading whole expeditions in difficult areas of the dungeon and having people rely on him for strength and leadership. So proud of my boy The fight against the monster was extremely well done. Loved the animation. Pacing of the episode was great as well. Another really good episode from JC staff it definitely seems like they’re going to do this season justice which is great since it’s arguably bell’s most important arc. |
 |
| It's already going down. I will say that I wasn't happy about Ashia pointing out the obvious in such a redundant fashion. Yeah, Bell is the hero, thank for reminding us. I liked the rest of the episode a lot, however. From comfy camping vibes, dungeon exploration, action and suspense, this was a well paced one. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Now this feels like an adventure, need more episodes like this! Nice to see how everyone improved. Pretty good fight against that nasty parasite monster. Some nice Hestia fanservice with the ED too heh. |
 |
| damn!! bells so strong ha it's nice to see this, he's been getting beat up to much ha level 4 bell is great! also love his new knife. that new monster looks intense. gonna be hard killing him. |
 |
| Though Bell is as powerful as ever his friends aren't no slouches either. Catchy opening and from the visuals looks like Bell and friends will be in some pretty heavy fights this time round. First time I heard destroying the environment would provide an advantage to the adventurers though. The best hero's are those that stay their chosen path despite everyone else looking down at him. Lily's concern for Bell was cute. But Bell's effect on his friends is undeniable. As a proven veteran Aisha's advice is one that should be heeded by Bell. The cautious approach laid out by Lily is the best plan forward. Being the Familia's accountant is a role that suits Lily perfectly. Mikoto the shadow has a nice ring to it. That green troll though really was powerful whether in combat ability or presence. Overall an excellent ep that featured a fine balance of worldbuilding, character expansion and tension through the intro of the Green moss troll. Hope Chisuga pulls through. |

| They're doing a solid job with the adaptation. Very true to the source material and they've managed to convey the increase in strength/power of the opponents they're facing and of course Bell himself. I'm very encouraged. If they keep on at this level, the next couple of arcs are going to catapult the score of this much higher. |

| really good episode! damn that monster was creepy asf tho ngl |
| Green moss coming to ruin your day. I know all about it, Its everywhere on my unwashed dishes!! Got damn that dungeon! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Goddamn that fight scene! shit was hype.. this season looks absolutely better than the last one and also in pacing and the story writing... Tho the dick sucking of Bell by everyone is still annoying.. Dude could fart in nothingness and that fox girl would some how praise it.. Where the fck is Syr.. two episodes In and no screentime.. and even the Opening hardly shows her for a split second.. wtf.. |

It have the author supervising the scripts since one of danmachi’s issues was it’s series main writer anyways so one of the things that might improve on the adaptation of the anime also hopefully the schedule isn’t tight since most anime studios nowadays face that especially in the pandemic’s restrictions. There’s no pandemic restrictions in Japan anymore btw |
|
| It's quite amazing to see Bell fight now because of his growth. Just a few seasonsa go, he was a lonely pussy with 0 bitches. The adventure vibe is BACK. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I really enjoyed all the various elements of the exploration that was going on in this episode. It was interesting to hear about the equipment they were using to resist water attacks, it was interesting to hear about the details of their quests and what they needed to farm, and it was just fun to get all the action. This is finally what I wanted to see as far back as season one, episode one. I will say, I feel like farming the dungeon would be a pain. It doesn't seem like anything is in place to transport goods to and from the entrance. So you'd really have to carry a ton of shit if you wanted to build your wealth. Which just seems inconvenient. Well, that didn't end well. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| i hope they can keep this consistent animation quality all through out but i doubt it Mikoto and Aisha fighting side by side and even in the OP is sexy hot but that new monster is scary as fuck its good at reading the opponents move and it has a wide range poison attack too and they call heroes hypocrites but its more like heroes do necessary evil or lesser evil in this case killing other monsters to protect monsters  |
| Wait ... Chigusa is an archer ? Since when? I don't remember that being canon. Also , good job JC Staff. I can't remember what was the last episode of danmachi that didn't felt like it was a catastrophic adaptation, but this one wasn't bad at all. I guess adding the author to the anime crew really helped the whole thing huh. |

| Alright, I gotta give credit when credit is due. This was a pretty good episode, definitely better than the last one. Bell learned something from his fight with the minotaur, which helped him in the fight with the moss parasite monster, and the sakuga was quite cool. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| I have to say... it took 4 seasons to Danmachi actually get interesting again and focus in the damn dungeon lol The pace is good, we got true exploration atmosphere, we got true many characters focus and some action. |
| For an OP that's not Yuka Iguchi-based, I'd say that sajou no hana has done a marvellous job for a follow-up break. Saori Hayamin's ED is also great. The adventurous expedition back towards the dungeon to the Lower Floors (Level 25 and up), and Bell and Co. truly face the next big challenge of their lives. Bell being a hypocrite to go against norms is his usual self, and that has earned the trust of many comrades from the past 3 seasons, and now being Level 4, is the most critical of his stance as a hero. Everyone, amidst their happiness, is vastly concerned...and entering the Great Falls travelling through Levels 25 to 27, this is where teamwork and cohesiveness is important in this part of the dungeon untouched, full of lurking dangers. And then..the unimaginable: an enhanced moss monster species that hit Chigusa and Luvis...this is a brutal cliffhanger that slowly exposes the true dangers of the dungeon. Back to adventuring, and the extreme dangers involved. |
 |
| Ahhh so the monster who dragging someone from last episode was this Moss Monster. Things turn bad really fast. |
 |
| Finally, they're back in the dungeon! Was a bit boring to watch up until that fight scene with the Moss monster where Bell actually struggled, and the way they animated the fight was really good. |
| okay!!! 2nd episode in of S4 and it is already getting escalating to pure despair!!! 5/5. |
 |
| Nice. I loved that sakuga in the end part. Ootoko what are you doing with the shield your Chigusa was till caught up. 😂 Ughh I hope Chigusa will be fine. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| I really liked this episode and the action at the end with the moss monster was great. Lili's attitude towards money was pretty funny and Mikoto was awesome. |
 |
| I loved the dungeon exploration especially the water cave environment with the waterfall in the cave it looked beautiful, though it's of course not peaceful, I wonder what kind of monster it was at the end, the action was somewhat epic but the ones that got hit seem to be infected by that plant eh, I hope they won't die because of it |
 |
| much better and solid for first 2 episode !! |
| Great episode, we're now back to the very core of the anime : the dungeon. Exploring these new floors was refreshing, just pure party adventure/expedition in an hostile area. I don't mind the other stuff the previous seasons offered, but it's good to be back on roots. |
