| Oh Marcille...I know she wants to help but using that type of magic is very risky. At least the Red Dragon threat is over. We also got some fan service featuring Marcille and character bonding. The dish prepared looked exotic imo, compared to some of the others this episode. I do hope everyone in their party learned something from their latest conquest. |
 |
| I didn't expect to learn about bone anatomy from this episode, that's for sure. Laios and his companions emerged triumphant in their battle against the Red Dragon, marking the beginning of their quest to locate Falin. However, upon locating her, they found Falin's body already transformed into petrified bone. Despite their relentless efforts, the connection between her soul and body was too fragile to restore her to life. In a moment of desperation, Marcille risked invoking an ancient and forbidden magic to revive Falin. Exhausted, Marcille collapsed after casting the spell, but fortunately, it succeeded, bringing Falin back to life. Trigger always comes through, and the directing during the resurrection spell was impressive. But finding out Marcille's into blood magic, or "dark magic" as Chilichuck calls it, was surprising. It's rare to see a blood mage not mess up everything – I thought they were just a myth from games like Dragon Age. Thankfully, the only noticeable effect seems to be Falin getting stronger, no turning evil or anything. I would've thought there would be a side effect other than a power-up considering it's called DARK magic, but it's fine. I thought our mission would end with saving Falin and defeating the dragon, but now there's this mysterious power boost for Falin and that elf who seems important... And Marcelle not erasing the forbidden magic circle right away? That's just asking for trouble. |
 |
| I mean it was their dedication which ultimately led them till this point, so getting to know the kind of revelations like Marcille knowing the arts of dark magic or heck her specialisation in it shouldn’t really come as a surprise, I mean we know how much she cared about Falin, and she’s kinda nerd when it comes to magic as well, so yeah, though anyways it was that magic and those magic circles which ultimately did the deed… … Falin has been resurrected. She’s alive and kicking, though without a dress at that, but Marcille managed that anyways lol. We kinda saw her bond with Marcille in one of the previous episodes, but yeah, here we could see it in a more open fashion… like literally. The gang is looking alive, I mean they’ve achieved their goal so why not, so a dragon meat as a toast to success was the most right thing ever, EVER, lol. Loved the episode, and those interactions, now that Falin is here, it feels complete. Though hey, that elf, that same creature from that painting, with the cliffhanger. Shit is about to hit the fan. |
 |
| Falin is finally alive let's gooooo ToT. That resurrection scene looks so good. Her abilities were enhanced, and I think the child she saw was a spirit, so I have a theory that she can use dark magic because of Marcille's spell now. But don't kill the sword pls, I like it Edit: Yes I'm dumb, she could always see spirits |

| Everyone happy but a dark elf found about that magic circle. Troublesome stuffs . Oh man being too careless to just leave the magic circle like that. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Really happy to have Falin back, love her. Like brother like sister, she's also a monster enthuasist. Poor Marcille. Loved their interactions though. They went to such lengths to save her, even using forbidden magic. She's loved. Falin got a power up too, prolly cause of the dragon meat that was used to revive her. Can't wait to see . She looks so pretty like that. |

| Welcome back Falin it's so great that they were able to bring her back from the dead. |
| Really impactful episode, one of the best so far, so glad that Falin is alive and I love her already. Interesting to see Marcelle using her black magic, I do wonder if that will have any repercussions at some point, but for now, this episode was nothing but happiness. Studio Trigger delivered when they needed to for sure. |
| No idea if it was intentional but the way they presented Falin's reassambled skeleton like any ordinary complete meal right before Marcille's dark ritual was morbidly hilarious. You really can't get possibly any more metal than being revived with the flesh and blood of the dragon that ate and digested you before proceeding to bite into the first slice of a pizza topped with its meat. And Laios might actually be right, that stuff really does look incomparable to any other meat out there.  |
| I like how the anime led up to Marcille reviving Falin so it didn't feel like it just came out of nowhere. Also, Marcille and Falin's relationship is so wholesome ^^ So... did they eat Kensuke?? |
| Thank goodness Falin is okay, thanks for the Bone Anatomy lesson. |
 |
Best girl (re)joins the team. |
 |
| Making sure that Falin is really dirty with dragon blood, so we can have a fanservice bath scene. |
 |
| I am happy to see Falin and Senshi finally meet, I can see them becoming good friends in the future |
 I don't post on forums that much but hello!! |
| Revived or undead dragon incoming. Really though, why didn't they just destroy the circle if passerby could appear at any moment? And a dark elf at that showing up now... |
| . |
| I guess now we have an explanation why Marcile after being the top student is now kind of mediocre at casting simple everyday magic. She was specializing in entirely different discipline. |
| Good lord that Dragon Meal looks sooooo good. |
| Signature. |
| So Falin was able to be revived after all, I figured they wouldn’t leave her dead after all we’ve heard about her, and honestly I think that would have been a cool move but this show isn’t that dark, despite that tho we had a pretty metal scene where she got revived using all of her bones and the meat and blood from the dragon. This has me wondering if they actually needed every single one of her bones, would the resurrection have failed if they didn’t? Would she be deformed if they constructed her wrong? Those are questions that will probably not be answered, but I’m glad to see Falin is alive and well with no complications as of rn, it was also interesting to learn that Marcille has been studying forbidden/black magic, I can certainly see why it is forbidden lol. And after a nice bath fanservice scene as well as a heart to heart between Marcille and Falin, it was time to actually eat the dragon that started all this in the first place, not before Senshi blew himself up tho lol. And the fact that Falin is now eating the dragon that ate her is another things that’s pretty metal although it was portrayed in a wholesome way, and we also saw that Falin can still see ghosts as the place they were staying was the home of one, I guess it’s good it allowed them to sleep there but I wouldn’t want to after knowing that lol. And lastly we saw that elf girl from the Mario 64 paintings a while back, I’m very interested in what she’s about here in the actual world. And lastly, just in case the OP and ED changes as we near the spring anime season, I wanted to mention that they are both bangers and are definitely favorites of mine this Winter season, that Party ED was definitely an anthem for the weekend being close, I wouldn’t mind if it stuck around but of course I’m open for some new great songs. |
| There was no fanservice for ep 11 only to be given a lot of it in ep 12, I'm not complaining but it surprised me xD Serious Laios in a conversation with Falin, I don't know why but he made a big impression on me. Is yuri ship confirmed? Something strange is happening with Falin, is the dark elf interested in her? I love this anime, the mission to save Falin is just an introduction to a larger plot. ep 5/5 |
 Ok, hear me out... |
| Marcille and Falin's friendship is so cute |
| I'm really glad that Falin has been successfully resurrected. Marcille being able to use dark magic was surprising, but you have to give her respect for being able to use it to bring Falin back to life. It also led to an unexpected, but very enjoyable bath scene with Marcille and Falin talking together. After that and also thanks to Senshi's recklessness, the group were able to use the insides of the dragon as an oven and cooked some yummy looking dragon meat and pizza, which made Falin especially happy. However, while that was happening, an hooded elf girl wanders in and sees the corpse of the dragon and, more importantly, the circle that Marcille made. Not only that, but I think this elf girl is the same character from the episode with Laios going through paintings, so I do have my worries as to what this girl is doing here. Overall, the first half of this series has been really fun and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing what the latter half will bring, both in terms of story and, of course, the food that Senshi and the others will potentially cook up! =D |
| Oh wow so Falin actually was dead and those were her remains. I thought they were gonna pull a trick that she had escaped somehow. |
 |
| falin is back but marcille did black magic to revive her so there must be some bad thing that is gonna happen to falin they mention black magic is done by dark elves and look at the final scene a dark elf appears and it seems the same dark elf that laios encountered on the paintings |
| It's so good to see a couple of lesbian reuniting, I almost cried |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
What a massive asspull. This is writing 101, don't pull out stunts in the heat of the moment. Making Marcille an expert in black magic is just another level of cheapness. Kinda reminds me of the cheap writing in Kanata no Astra with glasses-kun being able to build and repair anything in a spaceship out stranded in the middle of another galaxy. I know for sure more than one will say "bUt sHe hAs bE3n StUdInyIng bLack maGikS wItHoUt teLlIn anYoNe" and with that line of thought she could also be studying rocket science and people should buy it just because the author said so. The icying on the cheap narrative is that she also knows human anatomy just as good or even better than an actual physician. Also quite convenient that the dungeon only keeps humanoid souls trapped but any other creature they are free to go (don't want to resurrect your waifu with half dog soul, don't ya?) And of course, the fanservice also has to be part of the narrative, because how else can you keep interested on the horny kids that watch this show just for the waifus. |

| @Kimurah Do you even pay attention to the shows you watch? It was established in a previous episode that Marcille studies dungeon magic and researches dungeons. Further, it's established that dungeons are a complex ecosystem which requires a strong knowledge of life and death. Maybe pay attention to the "cycle of life" narrative and theme instead of complaining it was explained to you. And before you say anything, yes, dungeon magic does have relation to resurrections. Again, this was established in earlier episodes. It's not hard to make the connection, but I suppose you need it spelt out to you. Kimurah said: Actual physicians know anatomy quite well. It's a reasonable connection that one needs this knowledge for healing magic which forces your body back together, which again, was established. Try again. The icying on the cheap narrative is that she also knows human anatomy just as good or even better than an actual physician. Also "the icying" lol. Kimurah said: Dungeon Meshi has to be one of the least "waifu-bait shows" out there. It's hilarious you say this given your rating history is ogling male-gaze centered romcoms and magical girl schlock. I guess it only counts when you want to pretend the writing is bad?And of course, the fanservice also has to be part of the narrative, because how else can you keep interested on the horny kids that watch this show just for the waifus. Anyways, please go on and cry about fan boys and karens. Or how I took a peek at your public post and rating history. It's really funny. |

| @Kimurah Blud really looks for anything to hate, I honestly respect the grind. I'm not going to say this show is the best achievement of writing ever, but this is a narrative tool to set up bigger stakes, plus there were earlier signs of Marcille knowing more than she should, like her knowing what Golems are made of even tho she said dealing with those is forbidden. |

| Well yeah they brought her back without any real issue as expected. But we do see where the story is gonna go with this dark magic + dark elf stuff. |
| With Falin's bone remains left in pieces, Laios wants each and every piece together, though Marcille cautions the link between body and soul, not to mention...twice the calories with dragon meat to restore her, which she is actually capable of but less spoken of. It's a very advanced ancient skill, and Laios take the plunge to sort out between her remains and Warg remains, which is easier said than done, and piecing each and every correct human bone to complete the skeleton. So then, with the skeleton all in place, Marcille's forbidden revival magic is conducted, and Falin...manages to get revived in perfect order. Of course, it's a good time to cook up a celebratory meal, and Marcille is relieved that she's fine, with her mana and all. It sure took a lot of pain to get her revived, and it should be the least of her worries as the group now needs to backtrack their way up to the surface. Senshi going back to the red dragon and trying to start a fire....they forgot about its fuel organ which easily ignites, and Falin's chants become instantaneous to protect them from harm. Instead of using the meat, using its fire as a gas chamber, it's an exotic meal of dragon meat and pizza. This is something new to Falin s her brother gets obsessed with dungeon food to tell her stories about it. the most prominent being the Living Armour weapon embodied with the sword. At the very least, Falin now completes the gang together once again, and can rest easy. The thing is, Marcille's forbidden magic circle isn't quite erased...and that attracts another elf's attention: the elf from the painting. Yikes... |
 |
| Easily favorite anime of the season for me. Also lmao at the fact that both Laios and Falin seem to have a desire to try and eat monsters. You can definitely tell they’re siblings. Another great moment was with the young girl ghost, just showing how natural Falin is with “ghost” magic, and I love how comfortable Laios is with it. It’s only been an episode and I can already tell how much they care for each other. Ending conversation with Laios and Falin was my favorite part of the show. |
