Delicious in Dungeon is a 10/10 masterpiece that will change how you look at fantasy monsters forever. Just don't watch it on an empty stomach.
The anime covers the first half of the manga (roughly the first six volumes) and has been renewed for a second season. It captures the comedic timing of Kui’s panel layouts perfectly, while the voice acting—particularly Kentarou Kumagai as Senshi and Sayaka Senbongi as Marcille—elevates the material.
