One of the most refreshing things about Dungeon Meshi is that it's a return to fantasy without the isekai aspect. There was a long stretch of time where it felt like fantasy anime had no idea how to world build without the "fish out of water" character that would ask obvious questions that could lead to exposition. Dungeon Meshi proves that you don't need that tired fish out of water framing. All you need is a cast of autistic characters who are excited to info dump about the niche aspect of that fantasy world that happens to be their special interest.

#dungeon meshi #also to be fair the cast doesn't even info dump that often #stuff is explained as it becomes plot relevant #and it is logical that certain characters have different areas of expertise #so like chilchuck explaining how traps work doesn't smack of obvious exposition because disarming traps is his JOB and it's made very clear #that there are jobs you can specialize in
