DanMachi
Our love is a journey starting at forever and ending at never :)
Story
~The genres of DanMachi are: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance~
DanMachi tells a story about a boy named Bell Cranel who is striving to be the best adventurer. In the town Orario is a place commonly known as "Dungeon" where many adventurers come to fight monsters and use the loot they get to make a decent living. Together with his goddess Hestia, he works really hard to fulfill his goal, meeting several friends along the way, and growing up as an adventurer, as well as a person.
The people of Orario city join familias which
...
offer services such as dungeon crawling and item crafting. It's a sort of guilds/clubs that you can find in MMORPGs mostly.
DanMachi has 13 episodes which means that the story is moving very fast, and the story isn't told in the best way. It's really interesting, but it feels cluttered into 13 episodes, as if somebody tried to rush the synopsis.
The point of the story is that you always need to have a goal in your life, no matter how hard and impossible it is. After all, that is what makes it a worthy goal - worthy enough that you devote your life to it. Also, you should never try to do everything on your own. Don't carry the burden by yourself, there is always somebody who can help you and take a piece of it. Don't close up, somebody will come sometime for sure. ^_^
Characters
In DanMachi we have two main characters.
First MC is Bell Cranel. Bell is a 14 year old boy with white hair and red eyes. He likes to wear light armor and uses a dagger as a weapon. He is a kind, shy, and easily intimidated. Throughout the story he doesn't change at all. He does what he believes is right, even if it costs him more than it's worth. He cares about his friends, especially his goddess Hestia. He has a special relationship with her because she took him in and offered him a familiar when he needed it the most.
Second MC is Hestia. Hestia is a goddess also known as "Loli Big-Boobs" representing her stature and body (she is small and has big breasts okay? Fanservice OP). She is very energetic and kind. She sees potential in Bell so she tries her best to support him in his goal. She is hard-working when it comes to helping Bell but in truth she is lazy and a glutton, which makes most other deities dislike her. She made Bell her first member of familia and granted him "God's Grace" a.k.a. her blessing.
Art
DanMachi is made by studio J.C.Staff. That means the art style is similiar to that of: Toradora, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!, Shokugeki no Souma etc. Characters are done well, even thought it's not the best to be honest. MCs are done well and few other support characters. The rest of characters look boring, and their expressions seem to vacant for the situation.
There is also way too much fanservice.
Music/Sounds
OP and ED are...meh. I didn't mind it but I don't feel like listening to it again either. It's just average. The sounds are done really well though. The grinning, grunting, sighs and sounds of desperation are...realistic. I was really surprised by how well they are done. I haven't seen many anime with that good sound effects. They are amazing :3
Summary
All in all, DanMachi is a cute anime, with a setting that I personally am a sucker for (dungeon crawiling). I'd call this a less serious version of Sword Art Online, with much more fanservice.
Talking about fanservice, there is a lot of it here, so if you like fanservice, you will love this anime. I didn't because there was too much of it and it was unnecessary. Time spent on that fanservice could've been spent on making the story more immersive.
