Parents React To DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON (For The First Time) - Dungeon Meshi Reaction 

"Do you think they're going to eat Falin?" "There's no way" Famous last words

I love how one of the biggest shocks to most people that watch the show with no prior information is that Chilchuck is a middle-aged dad.

Fun fact, Marcille had 36 different Hairstyles throughout season 1.

the reason why kabru's party kept getting rekt in the dungeon was because their leader, kabru only specializes in dealing with humans (fighting, behavior, etc) while laios' is the complete opposite in the sense that he's way more interested about monsters lol

Author and artist is Ryoko Kui. One japanese woman made the entire manga series starting in 2014 and the anime has been almost panel for panel recreations of her work.

Best thing about this show is how the concept of in-dungeon immortality first seems like comedic feature but as you learn more about the lore and the situation within the dungeon and its original inhabitants, it becomes a horrifying nightmare fuel.

The name: “Kensuke” is a pun, kinda like Bladejamin or Swordbert

Extra content from the manga reveals trolls, being a half-foot myth, are not actual monsters but just what they called tall-men when they didn’t know about their existence. When laios learnt this he got very disappointed

7:06:52 "his mom's a ginger!?" the way you were so shocked by that was so funny

I loved when they said “woooaaah” when the Western Elves were revealed. Valid reaction, Ryoko Kui’s character design is no joke.

i mean there’s no romance subplot & i think the author intended for the relationships in this universe to be vague & open-ended…so really ship whoever you want! i personally ship falin & marcille 😂

Fun bits of Namari Trivia from manga side stuff (not spoilers for anything past season 1). Since Namari’s dad embezzled and ran away, he and by extension his family are effectively banished from the local dwarf community (while he’s too detached from them to care Senshi shoudlnt even talk to her). Part of her desire for wealth is to buy back the family’s honor by paying their debts. Also, she has a thing for Leggy Tall-men, doesn’t seem to care about gender. As a result she thinks both Folke twins are very attractive. Kiki has realized this and is flirtingly teasing her about it.

It's actually a pretty neat thing: some venoms are safe to eat. If I remember correctly, both rattlesnake and viper's poisons are safe to eat. They taste incredibly bitter and unpleasant, but the main reason it's safe is that it coagulates upon coming into direct contact with the blood. Running it through the digestive system the components are broken down.

A scene they didn't include was how the state of a person's corpse increases a chance of resurrection. It was hinted at with the body found in the man eating plant but not fully explained. That's why the situation was so dire when they got falin's corpse. Being digested to that extent reduced the chances of being resurrected to maybe 1 percent or even less. Successful resurrection converts fat and muscle of the resurrected into energy, without enough of both the internal organs can suffer. There's tons of bonus content between chapters in the manga if you choose to read it. I recommend reading up to chapter 52 where it stops in the anime.

I'd like to think that the lifespan things was based on their average lifespan. The average lifespan of human in our world is 72, so Chilchuck's age is the equivalent of people in their early 40s

In the setting, men, elves, gnomes, dwarves, and halflings are considered human, whereas kobolds, orcs, fishmen, and sirens are considered demi-humans. However, in the east, where Shuro is from, they only have men and ogres, so in their case they have a different distinction which is men being called human and ogres being called oni. That also means that it's a bit strange for them to come to the west where the term human encompasses more races than just men. This is not something the anime really explains, it's only found in an extra chapter of the manga. =)

-A new anime reaction from Wes and Steph -It's Dungeon Meshi This is the best day ever.

OBSESSED with how Wesley says Kooberu and Kinsuki like it's so funny

About the people of the Golden Country all being young, it was explained in extra content: Only those who were young when the spell was cast could fully adapt long-term, all the older ones tried to escape or rebel and lost their bodies in the process, becoming ghosts. (And I think the specific ghost which talks to Laios is Yaad's father / Delgal's son, but I have no proof of that.)

*This is one of your best reactions to an animated series so far especially that you both love D&D.* *And Season 2 is already in production btw. Can't wait to watch the next season with you guys!*

"Falin's her friend, her buddy." Just gals being pals.

I love how attentive and inquisitive you were throughout the season! Especially your analysis of Kabru's investigative and slightly sociopathic patterns was cool to follow through! Can't wait for season 2 and your reactions to that!

i havent finished but the guy is so ontop of what the story is conveying. ive never seen someone catch on so quickly

WHAT I DIDNT KNOW YOU GUYS REACTING MY FAV ANIME GONNA BINGE WATCHING IT RN Edit after watching: Im so surprise you guys noticed the lion statue!

Easily anime of the year so far!! Trigger is always on point, and they knocked it out of the park once again! I'm so hyped for season 2!!!

Falin's skin was red because she was covered in blood, she went back to normal because she wiped it off. Also, if they just Ran out of the dungeon they would have been fine, since the mad mage loses their power over the monsters outside of the dungeon.

Oh... I did not notice this detail when I was watching alone. Their horse (Senshi's miner group) was named Anne and that was what Senshi named the kelpie as well....

I clicked on this and did not realize it was 9 hours. I am definitely watching in increments. I hope you've fallen in love with our little party of characters, including the cat. I love all of them and the slow worldbuilding throughout the show. The themes of unity through food and food being present and important in any culture is so good.

Also the thing with Laios? He’s HEAVILY implied to be neurodivergent, and that’s part of why he acts the way he does

dwarf doesn't like elf magic because he think they're lazy That's why he's always an effort hard working type.

Almost 10 hour dungeon meshi reaction?!! I adore you both so much, my weekend is made ✨

The timing is insane, I finished the manga this morning 😭😭

Bread is pan in Japanese because of the Portuguese. There are a couple Japanese words that originated in Portuguese when we arrived in the 16th century. Portuguese introduced bread to them and "pão" became "pan".

The subterranean cemetery was already there, the former king emerged opening the dungeon to the cemetery. The dead in there were there before.

Dungeon Meshi are cut above the rest when it comes to world building, character designs, and being a good story. Thats what happens when the author has a clear goal in mind on what their story is gonna be from beginning to end, telling what you want without caring if it would be popular or not. Also it helps that the author is a huge DnD fan and gamer, and consumes all sorts of western fantasy sources. Dungeon Meshi, Witch Hat Atelier, and Magus of the Library are literally goated.

I was a big fan of the manga, very pleased with how well they adapted it for the anime.

I'm glad to see you enjoy to watch whole dungeon meshi episodes and discussing each part. That's awesome you recorded 9.5h in a video...

When u said taste tester Immediately remembered Apothecary Diaries . That anime is really goood. Like really good. Waiting for the next season tho......

So something Ryoko Kui cleared up: Dark elves don't exist. It's just a myth spread by elves to prevent their people from dabbling into forbidden magic.

PS, good on you guys for reacting to the whole season at once, because I guarantee some dipshit would've spoiled Chilchuck being a girldad

Damn, your talk about being a disagreable person hit me so hard. Exactly in first grade it also took me three hours to do my homework because I just didn't like it and stared at a wall or drew something. Sometimes later for some reason it just clicked for me that I can focus for fifteen minutes and be done with it, so I didn't have much trouble in school, but even today as I work as a software dev and there's a task I find daunting or not interesting I procrastinate to the end of the world instead of just doing it because I DONT WANNA. Tis a struggle

the theories are absolutely delightful. I’m just so glad I decided to watch this. I played this video in low volume while I slept yesterday like asmr, but I knew after the very first episode that I had to watch the whole thing again when I’m awake ‘cause it’s just that good. 5 hours 40 minutes in! Man, am I happy/sad that there’s still/only 4 more hours left for me to enjoy!

chilchuck is actually on the equivalent of his 50s, since half-foots mature faster

@1:46:25 Bugs in real life are actually quite often edible and healthy too! They're a far more efficient and sustainable protein source than meat, they're generally quite nutritious, and plenty of them taste fine when prepared well. Plenty of people around the world eat them, and not just because they're too poor to eat anything better. Aversion to eating bugs doesn't really make much sense - what about crabs, shrimp, and lobsters? Those are pretty much just big old ocean bugs lmao. Why does being smaller and on land make them no longer viable food?

Rioko Kui actually revealed who’s illusions where who’s -Big laios: Marcille’s, since she was told laios looked a lot like falin, when they first met what struck her the most was how different he actually looked -Crazy dumb laios: chilchuck’s, not much explaining to do -cute laios: senshi’s, dwarf tend to see tall men as effeminate Serious Marcille: laios’ perception, her strong will to revive falin although the dangerous use of black magic struck him the most Other Marcille: chilchuck’s, he likes blond hair… that’s it kinda Evil Marcille: Senshi’s since dwarves kinda demonize elves she looks more sinister Cute chilchuck: Marcille’s, she knows he’s not that cute but still can’t see him another way Cuter chilchuck: Senshi’s since he thinks he’s still a kid Handsome senshi: chilchuck since half-foots tend to idolize dwarves’ masculinity Other senshi: Marcille’s, his stature is what stuck with her the most She also mentions that the first thing you mustn’t do when dealing with shapeshifters is fight with your party about why they see you like that, often parties break and get defeated because they’re more busy trying to identify who’s perception is who’s. Or even if they do find the copies, eventually break off due to the animosity

it cool to see that they really pay attention to details and hint showed in the anime, they the only reactors that i see notice the statue

The english dub on this is pretty good

When I realized that the horse he ate has a name of Anne, same name he gave it tp kelpie

Fun fact, you did guess the older/younger thing right. Laios is 26 and Kabru is 22.

A stereotypically masculine Wes feels weird to imagine after getting used to him being basically the most playful and wholesome person out there.

1:22:45~ Not related to this show, but a question from a historical perspective. Regarding fertilizer, is it different outside of Japan? In Japan, human excrement was used as compost from the Middle Ages until around World War II. Especially in the Edo period (1603-1867), human excrement with good nutritional quality was sold at a high price. Why? Because there were few cows and horses being raised, and there was an overwhelming shortage of fertilizer. A recycling society had been established, whereby manure was collected, used as fertilizer, and vegetables grown on the land were eaten. (Since it takes more than a year for fermentation to decompose, it was sometimes spread as fertilizer in an incomplete state under the circumstances of the time.) Here is the parasite problem. Japan is known for its raw food culture, but surprisingly, vegetables were not eaten raw at that time. However, due to the influence of Western culture and the intervention of GHQ after World War II, human excrement fertilizers were ordered to be discontinued and replaced with chemical fertilizers.

Whenever i see Wes and Steph upload anime reactions i just get hit with a burst of happiness

kui is a goated author. i esp love her character designs and how diverse they are. shame that other fantasy authors never seem to take advantage of it

4:11:03 the *discussion*! Oh I am loving every second of this. I remember feeling the same way about this part of the story but I never really tried to analyze it, and I also haven’t seen any other reactors focus on this. I agree with all the points you guys brought up; gosh I was nodding in agreement to every sentence like a friggin bobblehead! Steph’s comment about grief and Wes’s comment about the horror. Great video!

You guys are probably one the best anime reaction channels out there, actually paying attention and picking up foreshadowings way ahead. Love this a lot. Is bocchi the rock on your list? I would love to add it on your patreon.

You guys are mind readers

OMG YESSSSSS IVE BEEN BLESSED WE NEED MORE PEOPLE REACTING TO THIS MASTERPIECE

Bro, only pistachio and berries is wild

I knew you will react this and i've been waiting

What I love about this reaction channel is how they bring interesting topics to some of the things they watch. Im so piqued by the talk about religion and whats considered pure/impure since from a very young age I've been curious about many things and I've read the bible when I was 8 as well as researched about other religions so hearing talks like these really reignite my curiosity and passion to research and learn about more things

Thank you so much for reacting! You guys are really entertaining!

So glad you reacted to this series because it's 🐐ed. And here's some non spoiler tidbits about the series. Kiki and Kaka are actually Mr and Mrs. Tansu's adopted children Part of the reason why Maizuru is so motherly towards Shuro is because she's also the mistress of Shuro's father. Speaking of, Izutsumi was a gift from Shuro's dad to Maizuru that he gave her when he was drunk. Senshi named Anne the kelpie after the horse he was forced toe eat to not starve In supplementary materials, we find out how each of the party member’s memories affected the doppelgangers. Laios Marcile: His memory of her hair is vague but he vividly remembers her determined expression when resurrecting Falin. Chilchuck: Pretty accurate, although he didn’t realize he wasn't wearing a scarf Senshi: Also accurate, other than a blemish in the helmet. Marcille Laios: She heard that he looked just like Falin, but I guess he was too masculine for her gay ass, and the first impression stuck. Chilchuck: He is infantilized because she can’t comprehend that he’s an adult Senshi: His stature and height are slightly exaggerated because those traits left the biggest impression on her. Chilchuck Laios: His weirdness is VERY exaggerated because Chilchuck is weirded out by Laios. Shocker. Marcille: Not much to say other than the hair is sorta accurate because he likes blond hair but doesn’t remember the specific hairstyle Senshi: Is more handsome because the masculinity of dwarves is a trait idolized by a lot of Halfoots. Senshi: Laios: Twink Laios because tall men are viewed as more feminine in comparison to dwarves. Marcille: Botox Marcille because he had been told at a young age that elves were bad so he has subconscious racism against them. Chilchuck: He’s infantilized by Senshi similar to Marcille but worse. He legitimately thinks Chilchuck is only a child.

If no one has clued you in yet, Laois is pretty much an autistic-coded character. Low social awareness, smart but hyper focused on his obsession (monsters) and needs to be told things directly for effective communication. Edit: lol nvm, 6:34:34 thanks to whoever who let y’all know

Laios missing social cues is so relatable haha

3:35:09 The paintings for the return spell are more like portals. The living paintings captured moments in time that repeat continuously. Like a home movie you can interact with.

Those orc ladies are the chief's wives I guess. In other material it's said he has at least 3.

8:15:37 "those are some thick pancakes" "thicker than senshi!" I JUST TOOK A SIP I ALMOST CHOKED-

the clips with falin are so special they forreal make me emotional like babygirl REALLY did not deserve any of this bs

Y'all dressing uo for the final episode is so cute omg!!! I'm glad you guys really like this series and I hope you'll be able to react to season 2 when it's out ❤

Oh thank you! this series is great reaction worthy for sure. Fallin x Marcelline is like fan favorite ship btw

About damn time! I waited so long for this... Thank you

5:17:43 Well, Wes and Steph may not know much about anime tropes, but they sure as hell know how to appreciate good storytelling & connect the dots! Wow, I’m having such a blast rewatching this series with you guys!

This reaction is such a delight, thank you!!

Aw yeah, i love your reactions, its way better than most online, Also, KONOSUBA SEASON 3!

It's so good to know that I found you guys from a very different reaction subject AND THEN find out you guys enjoy anime too, AND THEN you guys reacted to the show that adapted one of my favorite stories in any media, the manga is wonderful, even more insightful in its lore than the anime but I'm glad that this show is famous enough that it would reach you guys. Even better that you guys did play D&D too, loving this reaction so far

YESSSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

Holy shit. 9 hours. I'll have to put it on my second monitor while I work to finish it.

You said Laios should be a poison taster for a king somewhere around the 1/4 mark - if that interests you, sounds like you would be pretty into Apothecary Diaries

Its not about how they look, she meant their names kaka and kiki, cuz they sound similar, and she doesn't really know them well

Well this is a surprise, I didnt expect you guys to react to this

wow you guys are one of the best reactors out there thanks so much for this video i watched it till the end

Didn't expected to see this today but I'm not gonna complain 😊😊

2:31:23 that's a completely different show that does exist

This satisfied my hunger for reactionz

2:39:51 yes,squids and octopi lose thwre color instantly when they die,and they infact die instantly if you hit them in a spesific spot

i was just planning to stay for y'all reaction to episode 1 but i quickly realized that not only do you guys react, y'all elevate your commentary by actually providing entertainment opinions, facts and theories! i ended up watching till' the end! fav part was y'all finding out chilchuck's a dad lol!

4:41:08 😅 Lunatic Magician sounds so silly, I watched this with the English voice actors and he was the Mad Maige, which sounds way better and menacing lol. 😂

I mean, Falin did tell Marcille Laios does a great dog impression

Three hours forty minutes in, and I’m LOVING this video! The comments and discussions are so good. Thank you for uploading this one!

2:17:38 he was upset because they were going to use his lockpicks to eat

Nice ...you guys always react every ep in one video love it❤

the creator for this took alot of influences from various fantasy media from wizardry, pathfinder, dnd, divinity and such. the episode when they first met orcs and the chieften was telling their story it kinda aligns to pathfinder (two video games exist being kingmaker and wrath of the righteous) tabletop rpg lore for them. - in pathfinder orcs used to live in the darklands which is also where dwarves are from. dwarves had a prophecy of when the world shakes they dig up to claim the sky and the prophecy happened when on the surface a giant meteor fell onto the world of golarion. the meteor was caused by algothuls (psychic fish like creatures that live in deep ocean) when the mortal race of humans gain power and fought back. the algothuls called upon beings from the stars to wipe out humans which the beings are cthulhu and other eldritch gods. yes they are canon. - once it hit golarion it caused the world to tremble signalling dwarves to start marching upwards, build tunnels ,structures and such to even attack and push away orcs. the orcs now on the surface in an unfamiliar world, dark skies, destruction and with survivors first seeing orcs they automatically assume monsters arose. the surviving humans attacked orcs on sight with many orcs killed and they foguht back to protect their kind. this doesnt help wehn the dwarves arrived, help humankind rebuilt and tell humans orcs are monsters. - thousands of years later this shifted when tar-baphon (a ancient lich lord powerful enough to kill an archangel named arazni who serves aroden, god of prophecies, brought her corpse to aroden and turned her into a lich to insult him.) started coexing the orcs saying he can reclaim their lands if they serve but dont realize its all a lie and either get corrupted or turn into undead soldiers. remaining orc clans fought back against him and when the shining crusade (multiple human kingdoms that were at war one another ally up against a common threat being the lich) witness this they ally up too. in time the lich was defeated and the orcs gain some trust among humans. - what about the dwarves? as the years past and new kings arose the recent highking knew what their ppl did to the orcs long ago and want to make amends. they want to give back some skyholds (citadels dwarves made to claim the sky) territories to them but of course other dwarf nobility is against this for tradition sakes or money will be lost. current lore thats still in debates but many full blood orcs now live among society with the recent remaster of pathfinder 2e core book now have full blood orc as a playable option with rules to do half orcs, which with them in high numbers now they call their own kind dromaar which in orcish means drummers and it signifies their numbers are high and they have a voice among society.

What a great reaction, I like it when you two bring comments and observations, and also some predictions are so accurate that they scare me. I found it interesting that Steph theorized that Marcille only went to the dungeon again because she might have a crush on Laios, the fandom is very divided when it comes to ships (even though the story never makes anything explicit about this part, other than the fact that they are all great friends). But basically the ships are between Marcille and one of the Touden siblings I am personally a big fan of the couple Laios and Marcille, in the second season there will be moments that strengthen this couple.

Funny side-note about the Nightmare-thingies at about 7:18:10 - that's a bit better differenciated in the german language: There's the "Albtraum" (lit. "elf dream"), the normal nightmare, and the "Nachtmahr", the Nightmare creatures. Technically both mean the same, the "Nachtmahr" is just outdated in common use, but it's exactly what the Saxons and Angles brought to the British Isles and therefore to the englishspeaking world. And looking at our nowadays common word makes it funny, that Marcille had the bad dream (even though it's the elf, that causes the nightmares in the myth by resting [sitting] on the victims chest - and Laios' resting on the elfs chest/stomach to cure her is a nice spin on it).

6:20 some details on the naming. the original name of the series is dungeon meshi which translates near to dungeon food, hence in some eps you heal the narrator go o dungeon meshi. when it got translated and released in america they changed up the name to kinda be a play on words to dungeons and dragons aka DnD.

You catching on to the winged lion stuff so early is very impressive!! I love y’all’s energy and theories :]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

2:39:51 that’s how they kill squid’s and octopi. If you stab in that area, it kills instantly. Important nerves are located there

I think you guys should really react to rezero its probably one of the best writen stories ive seen.

man you guys are a blessing doing full on entire series reactions in 1 ep
