Im such a SUCKER for the characterization of Dungeon Meshi. Ryoko Kui and her editor Hiroi Masaru are incredibly great at subverting character tropes and archetypes with a perfect balance of strengths and weakness.

LAIOS to a bystanding viewer could easily seem like a himbo. He’s strong, a little bigger than average with his BMI at 26, and capable at fighting, but his lack of social skills is a BIG weakness. The thing is, that doesn’t make him unintelligent. Whereas himbos are just handsome goofs, his autistic coding is written so maturely. Although he can’t pick up on social cues, what makes up for it is his knowledge on monsters. His book-smarts sets him apart from the himbo spectrum. Regarding his past as revealed by the Winged Lion, Laios is a fairly flawed man who has complex desires. He just happens to be incredibly appealing. I love Laios.

FALIN, admittedly can be seen as a beacon-of-hope-damsel-in-distress that centers the entire plot and conflict. But what deepens her character is the additional conflict and consequence of resurrecting her, turning her into a Chimera. Her time as a Chimera can place her as morally gray, since she’s not actively thinking on her own accord during the confrontation with Laios’, Toshiro’s and Kabru’s parties. (Should also mention that scene where she doesn’t care where she teleports the crew as long as they were safe, even if it meant at the cost of hurting others.) She may be a beacon of hope, but only to the main cast. During her childhood, she wasn’t praised and treated like a princess by everyone. Falin is a fairly beloved woman in need of saving AND stopping, for she is capable of many scary things.

MARCILLE, oh Marcille is my favorite subversion. So easily can she be seen as the clumsy fanservice nerdy lady who complains about every single thing. But no, she’s metal as all hell. First off, she may be clumsy as is established by Chilchuck, but thank god she’s not sexualized. No fanservice in SIGHT. The only attractive thing I see is her strength in magic. She’s incredibly smart but in a way that is not universally approved. Her ancient magic and selfish nature to resurrect Falin through whatever means makes her so mature and powerful. Plus, her complaints with eating monsters are pretty valid. They’re not out of childishness, and she eventually gets used to it anyway. She is so so so complex in nature. She’s a scary elf lady but also incredibly endearing towards the people she loves the most to the point she can’t EVER comprehend the idea of losing them. Marcille is the epitome of “whatever it takes.”

CHILCHUCK very carefully bypasses that “small but a million times older than you expected” trope in lots of shows/animes. Being a half-foot, he’s usually babied by Marcille and Senshi. Despite this, that man so blatantly acts his age as a father of three: he has a habit of drinking, cusses a lot, acts the most reasonable out of the party, and he’s overall just so.. questionable, considering that “other plans” joke he did about Toshiro towards his party. Despite all these flaws, Chilchuck is just trying to do his job. He’s quite knowledgeable and responsibly when it comes to his work and adventuring with party members. He just happens to be a divorcee father.

SENSHI surprised me the most. He’s set up to be such a knowledgeable father figure to the cast. He’s incredibly caring of the dungeon and the habitants, and he cares for the “young-ins” like a good father should. He could easily pass with that trope, it’s not a bad one, but they decided to dig him deeper with his traumatic past. I’ve read another’s blog that describes him as just another kid at heart who is happy to have friends and it wrecks me. He may act overprotective and help guide the others, but he certainly doesn’t knowing EVERYTHING. Senshi is a man with the sincere intentions of protecting his friends, he just has a misguided sense.

IZUTSUMI I’m sure has been covered already by someone on here but she incredibly stomps away from the catgirl stereotypes of acting cute and cuddly. She’s aggressive, mean and loud. Only time she acts kitty-like is subtly— she likes sleeping on top of Chilchuck. Besides, she doesn’t really want to be a beastman. It’s her whole arc. You would have expected so much fanservice from her if this was a completely different show. Thank god, that’s not the case. Izutsumi is just a kid who knows what she wants albeit not gently, but she’s still a caring individual who is in the journey of exploring her freedom.

And KABRU is a funny case. His first introduction has a beautiful way of setting him up as a perfect leader, y’know, just that average “I’m effortlessly strong and witted and will rid of all evil” trope. Reality is poor Kabru lacks experience. He may have perceptive abilities, but throughout the early parts of DunMeshi, his party is shown to be easily taken down by monsters. Regarding how he and Laios are meant to be each other’s foils, Kabru’s strong advantages come at the price of his lack of knowledge in monsters. He just HATES them. Social cues are his own special interest. Kabru has the valid motivations, he just unfortunately doesn’t have the power to execute them.

This is my own little love letter to Dungeon Meshi. I love the characters so much, and I wanted to give praise to its writing that I can easily tell came from love and care. If you’ve read this far, thank you for sticking around! I love rambling about this beautiful world. I’m sure I’ve missed a few facts here and there, so let me know what you all think!

Autistic Anime Girls Group 2 Match 32

SUBMISSION PROPAGANDA:

Anisphia -

"(major spoilers ahead for all of the anime ahead, none of V4 or content cut from V1-3 is mentioned) She has AuDHD and bratty and unhinged and stupid and full of energy at all times, princess carries her taller wife at all times except when she lays her hands or lips on her, she always also gets pinned down by her and gets sloppy styled and has her energy sucked out (no I will not elaborate on that, read/watch magirevo!!!!) Like (👍🏼) if you need to take meds to take on tasks you find yourself mentally unable to otherwise (The task is to slay a dragon with your wife!!) Importantly, her anime VA is also Senbongi Sayaka (who also voices tumblr's beloved Kikuri Hiroi)."

Hayate -

"Canonically autistic in my heart. She's canon wlw and has a girlfriend (they actually use the word gf‼️‼️‼️) she's very blunt and very silly and has the PERFECT autism stare."

Railgun for the ask

Also Bocchi the rock if u want

Yes

Toaru Kagaku No Railgun

Fav female character: either Mikoto or Kongou I genuinely can't pick they're both amazing

Fav male character: Gunha? Or Icchan's cat

Fav season: T, it was full of random nonsense but I don't remember S enough to judge (also Touma was in S more which is annoying), and T gave us Kongou and Misaki and Fre/nda screentime so kudos

Fav episode: don't remember the number but the one with Mikoto bonding with the clone then it died

Fav cast member: Mikoto, sorry Kuroko but not this time

Fav ship: Mikokuro!

Character I'd die defending: Mugino (the one that didn't get butchered by the writing)

Character I can't sympathize with: Accelerator. oh my god you annoying plot device

Character I grew to love: Misaki, thanks to T I hated her so much at first but now she's one of my favs lol

Anti otp: Kamikoto (Touma x Mikoto) it's super unhealthy and the fans should stop pretending it's not, also cringe thanks to Index being a thing.

Edit because someone reminded me: Kamikuro is THE worst ship to ever exist and I wish whoever made it a happy fuck you Kuroko is a lesbian (before anyone jumps at me literally across all LNs and 3 Index and 3 Railgun seasons and the manga she's only expressed feelings for females and more specifically Mikoto, there's no "she could be bi" it's been 19 years since the series came out if she's bi it's too late to show it)

Bochi The Rock

Fav female character: Seika aka older dorito

Fav male character: the doggo and mr. Mango box

Fav season: only 1 came out so 1

Fav episode: 11 I think? The festival one

Fav cast member: Ryo or Bochi

Fav ship: Seika x Pa-san x Hiroi (sorry Bokita but you're in 2nd place)

Character I'd die defending: Nijika our beloved sunshine Dorito

Character I can't sympathize with: thankfully no one, I like all characters

Character I grew to love: also no one XD, I immediately liked everyone

Anti otp: Ryo x Kita? I don't necessarily hate it but it does have toxic aspects so

Gimme a fandom

The ship part got salty in the Railgun one sorry about that lol
