semblance of sanity sos bros Delicious in Dungeon Season 1 Episode 2
The mandrake-dog thing is historically accurate, as far as folklore goes! Look at the wiki for mandrake, there's a quote right in there. Also -- I'll say that thinking about this show in purely mechanical DnD terms is sort of a mistake! The worldbuilding and rules of the setting are super naturalistic and that's one of my favorite things about it. To me it feels like the mangaka sat down and thought 'okay how would all these fantasy abstractions actually work in a real world?'
I honestly think the mechanics is more inspired by video games than D&D directly. There is a lot of Wizardry in this story, from what I hear. It is just that Kui is more of a fan of old school Western RPGs, so it doesn't feel like the myriad of JRPG inspired anime we have now.
@@heatth1474 Kui lists Wizardry as one of the main inspirations actually. So you're correct!
My favorite thing about Laios hyperfixation on eating monsters is that *no one in the party noticed it until now*
From what it has been shown so far (at least in the anime) most of the people in the party have been adventuring with him for at least a few weeks (and that's a conservative estimate) before the encounter with the red dragon, but, only now they are learning about his weird "hobby"
It's like suddenly learning that someone you have been friends with for a few months has spent enough money on Warhammer miniatures to put a down payment on a house even though there was no indication they were even into it to begin with.
The newest member which is Marcille has been in the party for around a year
its kinda one of the themes of the manga, learning more about your friends.
a house down payment amount of money on Warhammer? you mean a casual fan who dabbles a little?
A very plausible theory is that in Falin's presence he put more effort into being a socially acceptable human being. He's straight up given up on masking in her absence and you know what good for him
Ah yes. Half an Ork/ Guard/ Tyranid army Lol
7:46 Actually, a book that endangers dogs for the benefit of elves could actually be a well thought out, "If humans REALLY don't last long to elves, dogs are nothing in comparison", which leads to dogs being sacrificial pawns for races that live longer than humans
That's a good point. When you take into account the medieval era, they live, and elves would definitely have morbid/ outdated practices. I wonder what sort of animals with long lifespans would they consider as pets
Elves must love their pet turtles
The dog thing is real… we genuinely used to do that while harvesting mandrakes… we would blow a horn to make them run while tied to the plant…
It would probably be the same as a human keeping a rat or mouse as a pet.
I think something that really comes through in dungeon meshi is that the creator ryoko kui is a genuine fan of dnd and fantasy stuff. She posts fan art of games like elder scrolls and baldurs gate often and she puts a lot of love and care into crafting her world building. It feels really refreshing compared to a lot of other more bland fantasy series.
If turning traps into kitchen tools amazes them, next episode is gonna blow their minds. 🤭
a snake-tailed rooster is actually a very common way basilisk's are portrayed in history and mythology, there are obviously the more snake-like depictions as well but this is definitely a faithful portrayal of a basilisk as well and probably not some loophole to have a cockatrice and not call it that. The cockatrice is a very similar but technically distinct mythological creature. Mentions of Basilisks actually go all the way back to the first century, while the first English mention of a cockatrice isn't until over 1000 years later in the 14th century, though it wasn't until around the 8th century that you start getting references to basilisks having anything to do with Roosters. Probably the most notable early example of a rooster-y basilisk is in Canterbury Tales by Chaucer in the 14th century around when the first mentions to cockatrices are.
I like to think that malnutrition and starvation are worst than anything that can be imagined. Let us live our lives happy, healthy, and with full bellies.
Especially since some of the nastiest diseases known to mankind are caused or exacerbated by malnutrition.
I'd forgotten that you two were only on episode 2. I tricked ny self into waiting for your episode 11 reaction 😭
It's peak btw.
Ah yes, the first 10 episodes are funny dungeon eating adventures, episode 11 is the slowmo "what", and then the rest will be horrifying dungeon eating adventures.
@@ObscureSwany se une un personaje god
@@ObscureSwan Nah, it's still fun dungeon eating adventures with occasional eldrich horrors thrown in.

This is why Chilchuck is the best
Speaking of ecological realism in dungeons, D&D creator Gary Gygax was actually very passionate about it, to the point where the term "Gygaxian naturalism" was coined, to refer to parts of the old guides that are all advice to the GM to think about why monsters behave or set up their homes the way they do.
Chilchuk is literally my favourite character in the show.
He is just so cute and good friend to have.
The reaction to the basilisk was a little Harry Potter brained. That chicken-snake thing is the most common depiction of a basilisk.
In our D&D campaign we defeated a hobgoblin war camp by a bay, then used their base to rest up. My character, a pescetarian, found their stash of dried fish and ate well. Then, continuing through the camp we discovered the place where they hung up the mermaids they killed to dry. My next character incidentally did not eat fish.
The references to dogs are possibly related to how in early editions of DnD, Mages were so useless at low levels that the guide encouraged them to spend their starting funds on a couple mean dogs instead of equipment. The dogs would be far more useful in combat than their single Lv1 spell. Dogs were also commonly used as easy ways to "safely" spring traps, like in this episode. You could get around not bringing a Thief if you just bought a few dogs with you when exploring a dungeon. Theres a long history of adventuring in DnD with a small pack of dogs!
The dog method does actually make sense, just only from a foolproof/safety viewpoint for novice wizards lol. Rather than gambling your life on your reflexes when cutting the heads off, or your ability to eyeball the minimum safe distance with the long rope, using a dog allows a person to guarantee that they're at a safe distance by standing as far away as possible such that the dog's sensitive hearing can hear the call, but their human hearing isn't affected by the mandrake. This method also makes more sense when you remember that it's designed for novice wizards to gather medicinal samples (necessitating only one, maybe two dogs), rather than for subsistence gathering like the party needs.
You guys will definitely love this show! Very wholesome very lovely.
Senshi is so cool, it's my favorite

When you look at 16th century depictions of Basilisks, they tend to look like they do in this episode.
you guys' reactions are always my favorite! looking foward to watching it along with you
I still think it's funny that Marcille's Japanese VA also voices Haru in Beastars.
Or even better, that her English VA is Nami in the live action One Piece!
Yay, more of "Senshi is the best". That's the unofficial title of this show as far as I'm concerned.
3:20 They can, you’ll see 😊
basilisks are chiken snakes things
How far ahead are the guys on the patreon? I'm obsessed with watching people react to this show and i love their commentary so much
Only one episode ahead of the CZcams
Poor Marcille keeps eating those Ls.
I would eat all meals as seen in this episode.

No no, basilisk is literally a giant chicken mixed with othe reptile features, sysnonymous with cockatrice, but in for example Polish folklore and legends it's a giant reptile-chicken that breathe fire and turns others to stone.
Senshi is a line cook 100%
ダンジョン飯のリアクション更新待ってました！😆
Side note: this random two person party is actually kind of important.
Let's gooo!
Not to be _too_ off topic here but do we know if the Bros will be covering Invincible Season 2 or the Adam Eve special any time?
YEEEEESSSSSS!!
😂
of course they can sue the name cockatrice. its a real world mythological monsteer, it wasn't somethng made up by D&D you sillies

This is the weakest episode of the anime for me. Mainly the pacing being too fast in a way that detracts from some jokes. But like, this being the low point is more of me praising the adaptation as a whole since every other episode has been on point. It gets better and better!
.
You two really should be watching the English dub. You're missing out. Not to say the Japanese VAs are bad, but you've got the tone, inflections and timing of jokes that you don't get from reading. All things crucial to good comedy.
ew dubs. Also, long time anime watchers can figure out the tones from japanese voices.
I'm not a dub hater generally, but a couple of key characters in this dub sound terrible
@@hayakueon3230 Reading the subtitles definitely mis-times a lot of jokes compared to actually hearing an actor that you understand. Nothing about this is an improvement compared to listening in English. It is a weird gatekeeping that people do.
@@YTAG33 Eww a dub defender
Nah dude. People who have watched subbed anime for long enough understand the Japanese inflections associated with Japanese jokes. It’s not rocket science.
Do the guys never watch anything in English?
You can see Bojack in recent playlist, right?
They’re basically an anime react channel so… no. Other than the odd western show.
