Hello to my dear Readers,

So lately, we’ve had all these serious anime reviews, and yeah that means I’m watching some mind-boggling anime which requires a certain amount of brain power, for you to process the different theories presented in those, and for once, maybe even contemplate about your own existence, or simply think big and vast kind of thing. So yeah, now it’s time for something light-hearted.

Dungeons and Monsters

An old concept, yada yada, we all know what happens, there’s some big dungeon with all these floors and you go defeating the monsters in those, and eventually you gear up and level up and the aim is to defeat some final boss or gain immortality or something big at the end. Forming parties is very common too. And so, this is all too common if you’ve watched such anime or even played such games. A good example is Solo levelling (LOL lemme know in the comments if you want a review on this masterpiece too)

Specialty in the Dungeon plot

And so, that leaves us to the main part, what makes the plot unique or wholesome enough to carry on with the anime or make it worth watching. For delicious in dungeon, well yeah, it’s easy to guess, the food! Of course. I must admit, defeating monsters, typical, eating monsters after defeating them, surprise surprise lol. So, we already know how delicious food looks in anime, and how it makes you wanna live in a Ghibli movie just so you can taste the food which looks aesthetically pleasing and delicious at the same time, so it is wholesome to watch. So yeah, there’s your number 1 reason to go watch delicious in dungeon.

The Laid-back plot and the Light-heartedness

Okay so most dungeon plots are way more intense and serious, but for this anime, I’m saying no Pressure, just chill and enjoy. They have all kinds of interesting arcs, like imagine different floors in the dungeon, each with their own kind of unique environment and traits and monsters, and then think, nothing serious, just some adventurers with a simple enough aim, not to defeat the big boss, but to find a lost party member, and so their aim is simple enough too.

Cook them All!

So basically, we’re just following these adventurers on their journey to find their lost member, an exceptional mage. Where most amateur parties struggle to find food in dungeon, because food supplies are heavy and so that means you can carry limited supply which don’t last for shorter times and also require some gold to purchase, but the biggest food problem is solved efficiently by cooking and eating the slain monsters, in the most creative and wholesome ways one can imagine, and so they can now focus on their main goal of finding the missing mage.

Recommendation x Lighthearted chill anime x 10

At the time of writing this review, though I have not finished the anime and watched half of it by now, I can’t comment on the ending, but for the whole vibe and the way it’s moving forward with the plot and depicting the story and the events happening, I’d definitely recommend everyone to watch it, if you feel like watching something without using too much of your brain and just for chill purposes.

As Always, let me know in the comments what’s your take on the anime.
