I started crying when I saw the panel which said "Writing off the thing you love as just a hobby sounds like something only grown-ups would do..." Made me realize this is exactly what I was doing when I chose my university and major despite being an arts student my whole life. When I moved to academics I performed will but I lost all my artistic expression over the following years. It's very sad to look back on now and I encourage my own students to follow their passions as far as they can.

Actually what you call “realism” is naturalism. Realistic art can be abstract in fact there is a lot of it, it just means that the art piece represents a subject matter truthfully, if you want examples google Otto Dix. Yeah I learned a bunch of stupid shit in school I’m never gonna use anywhere, might as well educate the comment section.

damn i was lowkey looking forward to a video just slamming berserk LMAO but i appreciate this insightful thing too, probably for the best :p

❤

Bars!??

As a bigger gal this series not only story wise, but character design, makes me so happy. I see myself in a lot of the dwarf characters being smaller but wider and it truly lets people feel more connected to the characters. I completely understand how senshi looses energy faster but is still a heavy hitter when fighting. We need more media like this everywhere and is overall a more creative venue that should be considered more. I love you Dungeon Meshi❤

Yes, you're amazing, and I couldn't feel more the same as you do so thank you for sharing your thoughts and views and I hope this brings you joy because the first time I ever saw a random comment complementing my work I was estatic so great job

" fanservice of Marcille is unnecessary and out of character, fanservice of senshi is good actually!! " What a hypocrite clown

Yesterday I had a breakdown over some art pieces I'm selling, the owner of the place I'm exposing them sold one half the price "by accident" he gave me the difference but the dismissal of my hard work he only sees as an image made me feel humiliated, "you can just make another one right?" made me freeze

besides the amazing commentary, i love the visuals you provided, with the animation effects too! i could not take my eyes off the screen, which is different compared to other video essays where i can multitask while playing the video in the background. overall amazing video that i'll come back to time to time

Nice analysis. Viewers don't take enough time to appreciate character development.

people need to release that anime is a romanticized version of reality and that just because a "talented" person made a manga about how "ooh its just hard workd bro" does not mean this person is not talented.

2:38 they sorta fix shuras boobage issue in the manga

Tbh, i love senshi, he is cute, he is attractive, he has a great personality and is very caring and thoughtful to others. I need me a senshi in my life...♡

TLDR: this person has a personal preference and didn’t like an anime but had to make a video on it so you know they don’t like it.

Same-Face Syndrome? Ryoko Kui has never heard of that. Dunmeshi seriously has one of the best and most diverse character designs ive ever seen <3

I think your analysis is very valid! That said I don’t know many women who are “into” Berserk like men.

What's the song at the beginning?

Thank you love

I hate berserk ngl. I’m sorry I’m really am It’s just so many people want me to read berserk even though I don’t want to and I am getting tired of this story. I don’t care anymore.

I'm not an illustrator but I really liked this analysis

everything is just so so natural and realistic i love this anime so much

Coming back here after reading the entire Dungeon Meshi manga. This was the video captivated my interest in this series. Thank you!

Great video. Learnt loads

The best analysis of this amazing manga!

I've only watched the anime, but did notice how identifiable the characters were after the mushroom circle. I'd say the only one who I wouldn't be able to spot immediately would be Senshi, and that's largely because his gesture as well as his proportions changed. Laios, Chilchum, and Marcille were immediately identifiable. I also mentioned to my spouse how interesting it was that Falin, while full in the bust, was tall and not really curvy or very thin, but with a strong, straight silhouette that makes her look much more like her brother than like the slim, delicate Marcille.

ε=ε=ε=ε=(((( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉ

Ended this manga yesterday and the idea of grief with body horror has been bashing my head since, i do wish "Hikaru" and Yoshiki can find their own answers at the end of the story, meanwhile i am in love on this dive and read of the story, thanks!

:+ D

Making the cat girl literally cat + girl was so funny. Same with Senshi being the only one with panty shots

I've always been obsessed with animation since when I was kid worlds we've never seen but connected emotions even ever so exaggerated or subtle can be felt and identified and bringing the beauty and colour that one can never see is something that has always made love animation

Great video ❤🕺

Depends on the story that is being told really

not a manga, bcs it's from the US, but tillie walden does something similar in her graphic novel "are you listening?". walden isn't as extragant as shirahama hahaha, but she deforms the panels specifically to show the strong feelings and struggles the protagonists are having, such as confusion, despair, anger and panels come back to normal once the crisis is overcome. it's very minimalistic, but it also catches the attraction because of that. she also plays a lot with negative space: in a panel, the darkness is from the sky, and in the next one, the same darkness are mountains, or a forest, or the mind of the characters. in summary i can say it's a little bit of conservative but it serves a purpose and it works. oh and, hi, love your content 😂🎉

I've just realised how glad I am that I watched it while it was airing. I so vividly remember waking up to a new episode every Wednesday (I'm russian) in my teenage bedroom. Our whole (russian speaking) community was so involved that people were subtitling (and promptly dubbing) episodes just as they were airing despite the timezone difference so everyone could participate in the mystery solving and theorising. It was truly a great adventure!

One of my favourite parts of dungeon meshi is how I feel like you can easily tell the personality of a character just by looking at their faces, especially the eyes. Laois and Falin have the most gentle and kind smile and eyes I’ve ever seen, it makes me wonder how people don’t become immediately enamoured by them on first contact. Falin is interesting too because when she Changes they’re suddenly open wide and it’s UNSETTLING. Chilchuck looks young as a half-foot but you can See this Cynicism in his eyes that kinda tells you that he’s much older than his small stature implies. Marcille’s are bright and wide in a way that instead of making me think of wonder and curiosity, makes me think she is Just Like Me Fr Fr and is battling demons in there. Senshi’s are just SCREAMING “silly man :)”, his eyes are so cartoonishly round. Izutsumi’s are sharp and a bright, unnatural yellow that make you immediately think “CAT. MEAN CAT GIRL”. Kabru is a BEAUTIFUL subversion on the trope of blue eyes representing a good heart, because I mean I’m not actually saying Kabru doesn’t have that, he’s clearly a very selfless person who cares a lot about the greater good, it’s like, his whole thing, but holy SHIT those things are mad of ICE. They’re cold and captivating and a little uncanny but blue eyes are blue eyes so most people don’t find him creepy, they find him charismatic. Anyways I just. I just rlly like Dungeon Meshi character design. Oh god and I haven’t even gotten into SHAPE LANGUAGE.

Now i understand more about look aback. To tell you truth, i think look back can only truly be resonated with a artist. And your views make look back more clear to me.

Would love to bring to light the incredible amount of little manga panel animations made in this video! I can't even fathom how long it must have taken but it was well worth the effect!!❤❤❤

Is this AI voice?

Senshi is hot

Not gonna lie, the last paragraph made me tear up a little. And it's one of the reasons I really like Delicious in Dungeon too - it's fantasy, but done in such a way that it could be very real. Little note, though - Kingmaker is not a sequel to WOTR, though they're a series. Another big inspiration, partly covered by D&D mentioned, is Baldur's Gate series - as shown by portraits done by Ryoko Kui. I'm not aware of other any other western RPGs inspirations, though I'm very surprised that the author is aware of Pathfinder/BG as they don't seem to be that popular in the east. Dungeon crawlers on the other hand like Wizardry series absolutely exploded in Japan one time and the biggest fanbase of that series probably lives there.

This video is beautiful. It puts in to words so many things that I appreciate about dungeon meshi and beautifully articulates what sets it apart from other manga. It is truely special piece of art that is upheld by its attention to detail. Nothing feels out of place or like it is trying to fit some agenda, it all just makes sense and to me, it defines perfect world building. Ryoko Kui is a genius and I’m so glad that studio trigger were able to bring the characters and world to life. I watched the anime and have never been more inspired to retroactively read a manga. Comparing the written work to the animation, it is clear that so much love and attention were given to perfecting the execution. Dungeon Meshi is perhaps my favourite piece of media.

great video! Just was at a Keith Haring exhibit today and I have been thinking about his message alot and its sad it got lost in capitalism

oh i assure you, senshi and the orcs are supposed to be sexy. the entire manga is lowkey horny at all times but you gotta be a special higher-level pervert to appreciate it, like a fine brandy. the story is fundamentally about honoring bodily needs and urges without stigmatizing any of it, and that incudes sex just as much as it does, say, eating a meal heavy in fat and salt. the fact that it manages to do this in a way that doesn't objectify or disrespect anyone is a masterclass on storytelling, and every single author in the market had better be taking notes. you can in fact have a character be sexy without making it feel forced or crude, and those characters don't need to conform to modern beauty standards to be desirable. mind you, senshi is pretty much universally acknowledged to be hot. the monsterfucker crowd stayed for the orc lady and the kobolds though

Fat

Idk if Marcille was the sexiest in the series. For some reason, Falin's half-dragon design seems more sexy? Something about that big, thicc dragon forearms....

Look I'm alright with 2 black swordsmen and I found out Berserk wasn't for me either. Gore put me watching off Berserk infact I guess nothing is wrong liking Kirito here.

the note on viktor outrunning the boats on the harbour symbolising the small boat as a child was so good i didnt think of that
