Another action, adventure, comedy, fantasy anime? Well…why not although we had a lot of those in the past already. It has lots of Ecchi scenes and the fanservice is god-like? REVOLUTIONARY. Count me in.
The studio "Okuruto Noboru" enters a “dangerous dungeon” for the first time with the anime "Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon". Previously only worked in a few OVAs, they venture into the fantasy, adventure world. Although this genre is nothing new in itself, they managed to do it in a way which doesn't make us bored and asking for more.
Our adventure begins with Noir, the third son of a “beggar noble” (the lowest position for a noble). Because of his position, he didn't get his job in the library. Thereupon he decides to go to the "Hero Academy" in order to become stronger and to get a secure job as an adventurer after graduation. Noir was very nice to his fellow men, but he was never particularly strong. One day he discovers a secret dungeon that only he can enter with a secret spell. This is where he started his secret training to get stronger and stronger…
There is a beautiful woman with a large bust and hips in this dungeon: Olivia. She was one of the S-class adventurers and thus one of the strongest at the time. She entered this dungeon, but after defeating a monster, she was handcuffed in death shackles. When Noir met Olivia by chance and appointed her as his master, she decided to pass on her special skills to Noir.
LP (life points) are required to use the special skills. How do you get this? Noir's childhood friend Emma is the main contributor to all of his LPs. Emma has laaaaarge breasts and is very popular with the opposite sex because of her cuteness but she is only interested in Noir and really loves him. She is willing to do anything for Noir and to get him the necessary LPs with kisses and well… “other things” like that. Everything that is "fun" for a simple man increases the LPs. Noir and Emma has a very close relationship since childhood. They did everything together. Both of them also decided to take on the job in the library. But after Noir was rejected, Emma decided to follow him to the Academy. She really is the vital supporter for Noir.
Let’s take a look at the other two main characters and their role in this little “Noir-clan”. First, we have the Odin Guild receptionist Lola. She is a beauty of the calm and collected sort with an air of maturity around her. Lola was the one who welcomed Noir when he joined the guild, she was always on good terms with him and Noir also helped Lola in receptionist battles. She is clever and knows how to motivate her guild and especially Noir.
Lola's best friend Luna is the last girl in the “Noir-troupe”. All in all, she’s a super beauty and has a good personality. Luna is convinced that it is her mission to save people and make them smile. But whenever she heals someone, it uses up her life energy and this shortens her lifespan. Noir managed to edit her skill in a way not consuming her life-force. Since that point, she fell victim to his charm and decided to stick with Noir as well. Even if all the female characters certainly love their hero Noir, it must be mentioned that they also support each other.
In addition to our main characters, we have the teacher Elna who rewards her male students by sitting on their faces. Maria, a real beauty who really has her heart in the right place as a duke. Her loyal bodyguard Amane, who always takes care of her. Of course, we cannot forget Alice, Noir's younger sister, who has a brother complex and adores her brother above all else. She has a special power which allow her to sense when her brother is getting intimate with other girls. Besides these girls, there are a few more who play a minor role. But one thing is certain: All of these girls are top tier!
It cannot be denied that the art really stands out. All the girls are shown amiable and the fanservice is of high quality. The surroundings are also very beautiful and detailed. Everything fits together perfectly.
The adventure of our group begins with the OP "Pyramid Dai Gyakuten" which tell us to be ready for some action. Prepare yourself for a new adventure that will come your way! The ED “Nemophila”, on the other hand, is about the deep relationship between Noir and Emma. Watching the animation during this song is particularly nice. Each picture tells a little story from their past together. They are a perfect couple. Besides the music, the Seiyuus did a great job performing their role. Their voice and all the emotions go very well with the character.
As someone who generally likes this genre and also watched similar anime like "Konosuba", "Shachou, Battle no Jikan Desu!" or “Princess Connect! Re:Dive “ before, I am also very enthusiastic about "Ore Dungeon". It's a typical anime where you can just switch off for a bit and enjoy the things. Don't think too much about it, just follow the adventure with our characters. The fan service part is very successful and I mean we already experience more kisses in the first episode than in many romance anime. Sure, it's not the same, but it's certainly not a bad thing in my opinion. Noir is surely a lucky guy. I agree that the plot is uncreative and we have had such things before already. Still, I don't see any reason not to like "Ore Dungeon" just because of this point. If you enjoyed other similar anime, you will like “Ore Dungeon” as well.
In the end, I can only say: Just enjoy the adventures and all the S-tier waifus. Let's hope for a second season with even more adventures from our little group!
