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 -

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

[littleshotsofsalvation]

Ore dake Level Up na Ken. Pieršyja epizody byli cikawyja, nawat wuścišnyja. Ciapier pačało "pryjadacca". Ale animacyja fajnaja.

Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata, Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha, Saijaku Tamer wa Gomi Hiroi no Tabi wo Hajimemashita. Usio ŭ adnoj kučy, tamu što zwyčajna ja takoje kidaju paśla pary epizodaŭ abo ŭwohule nie pačynaju; usialakija fentezijnyja świety z pryhodami, hildyjami i awanturystami – nie majo, ale apošnim časam ja ŭ humory j starajusia nia stawicca da ŭsiaho nadzwyčaj krytyčna, dyj peŭnyja dobryja momanty tut majucca.

Momochi-san Chi no Ayakashi Ouji i Sengoku Youko. Słabieńkija tajtły, treba kidać.

Sousou no Frieren. Tajtł, jaki adnawiŭ maju wieru ŭ anime. Apošnija hady nadzwyčaj redka sustrakałasia niešta, što ŭ maim razumieńni mahło b choć krychu nablizicca da statusu šedeŭra; a kali hodnaje isnuje tolki ŭ prošłym – stanowicca sumna: nibyta napieradzie ničoha dobraha j świetłaha nie čakaje. Pačynała hladzieć z peŭnym skiepsisam – nu, pryhoža i pryhoža – ale nieŭzabawie zrazumieła, što ŭ sercajka jano ŭsio ž taki trapiła.

[translation+lyrics] Rinn Ding Dong -L'avenir de la Flesvelka- by Rigel Theatre

Well would you look at that, this is a 2018 album by our always beloved neo  pagan celtic folk circle Rigel Theatre. As usual they featured an extremely anorexic girl on this album cover, and would you look at that she’s starving so hard her right wing fell off. See this is why it’s important to support independent artists, apparently Rigel’s starving so hard they can’t afford to feed their sad little angels, much less afford some better clothing for them... Anyway, pretty cool album! As usual it’s mostly instrumental with only two vocal tracks which feature stellar performances by Miwele, lyrics down below and see you all next time.

------------------------------------------

Rinn Ding Dong Composer: Rigel Theatre Vocals: ミーウェル

ano hoshizora no kanata kagayaku ryuusei tasogare ni ochiteiku chijou no taiyou asu no kioku wo kizamikomu

In the horizon beyond the stars Shining comets trace the dawning skies The sun above the land foresees the memories to be made tomorrow

kaze ga sasayaki kakeru hoshi no tabiji he to sasou ano kane wo narashi kokuu no mukou de ano ko ga watashi wo sasoi yonderu

The wind whistles as it blows like a bell which invites me to a journey reaching the stars on the other side across the emptiness that girl is calling for me

saa rinn ding dong yozora he to kokoro no arika wo sagashi motomete todoke rinn ding dong kanata he to negai wo nosete hibike rinn ding dong

Now let's rinn ding to the night sky To find the whereabouts of the heart Delivering this rinn ding dong to the horizons Let my prayers be heard through this rinn ding dong

ano kioku no kanata de katahane no tenshi yuuyami no sora wo miage nakushita kioku no tsubasa wo sagashite samayou

In the edges of my memories A one-winged angel looks up to the skies of dusk Wandering in search of it's lost wing and memories

kaze ni omoi wo nosete toki no tabiji yori utai ano kane wo narashi yuukyuu no hazama de watashi wa ano ko wo sasoi yobi kakeru

Let the wind carry these feelings Beyond this journey through time, I'll sing and ring the bell It'll be heard in the gaps throughout eternity And so I too call out to that girl

saa rinn ding dong yozora he to kokoro no arika wo sagashi motomete todoke rinn ding dong kanata he to negai wo nosete hibike rinn ding dong

Now let's rinn ding to the night sky To find the whereabouts of the heart Delivering this rinn ding dong to the horizons Let my prayers be heard through this rinn ding dong

So let's rinn ding dong beyond time Let this song unite the feelings of the star travelers Rinn ding dong across the skies Let my prayers be heard through this rinn ding dong

saa rinn ding dong yozora he to towa no kioku no tsubasa habatakase todoke rinn ding dong ano hoshi ni negai wo nosete utae rinn ding dong

Now let's rinn ding to the night sky To spread the wings with memories of eternity Deliver this rinn ding dong to that one star Let my prayers be heard through this rinn ding dong

Rinn Ding Dong... Rinn Ding Dong...

Echo through this starry sky rinn ding dong...

I'll sing so my wishes may reach somewhere rinn ding dong

Erlija Gate Composer: Rigel Theatre Vocals: 13end Card  (櫻衣はる、ミーウェル)

toki no kanata ni wasuresarareta kioku no kakera tsunagi todomete omoi no mama ni negai michibiku toki no tobira eruria Gate

Forgotten in the edges of time yet bound together by fragmented memories Therein lies the gate of time which leads to wishes, Erlija Gate.

mado no mukou ni kagayaku hoshizora tenohira kazashi miageru shoujo ano hiroi sekai de (ano sekai he) karen ni habataku (shiroi tsubasa hiroge) hoshi no tabibito akogare daita

Beyond the window lies a brilliant starry sky The girl extends her hand looking up as if reaching for it In such a vast world (to that world) Gently spreading those wings (spreading those white wings) yearning for the star traveler

kaze ni yureru suimen ni utsuru jishin no sugata (watashi no omoi) shiroi tsubasa yudanete yozora he tobidatsu

The water's surface is swayed by the breeze as it reflects me (and my thoughts) I leap to the skies entrusting myself onto these white wings

sono negai tsuyoku mune ni idaki fumikomou michi no sekai ano hoshizora no kanata he tabidatou jibun shinjite

I strongly hold these wishes next to my heart as I venture into the unexplored I believe in myself and venture towards the far reaches of the starry sky

shiroi tsubasa habatakasete kaze ni notte dokomademo hoshi no tabito no kiseki otte towa no sekai he kieteyuku

Spreading these white wings riding the wind to wherever it may take me following the trails of the star travelers vanishing onto the eternity

kaze ni yurareru fuushakoya no soba de kanashiku utau shoujo no omoi kioku no kairou (wasurerareta) samayoi tsutsuketeiru (katahane no tenshi yo) towa no tobira eruria Gate

Feeling the wind right by the windmill Thinking of the girl's sorrowful song The corridors of my memory (Have been forgotten) Continuing to wander (as a one-winged angel) To the gate of eternity, Erlija Gate

NaNaNa...

toki no kanata ni okisarareta omoi no kakera wo tsunaide negai no mama ni michibiku towa no tobira wo ima hiraku

Forgotten in the edges of time Yet bound by the fragmented memories Guided by those lingering wishes, the gate to eternity is opening now

shiroi tsubasa wo habatakasete ryuusei ni notte dokomademo (eruria Gate tabidatou shinjite) hoshi no tabibito no kiseki otte towa no sekai he kieteyuku

Spreading those white wings Riding comets to wherever they may go (Departing for Erlija Gate) Following the trails of the star travelers and vanishing onto eternity

toki no kanata ni wasuresarareta kioku no tobira saa tabidatou negai wo shinjite

The gate beyond time where forgotten memories rest Let's set out to find it, to answer that call.

And hey some person seems to have made a video with one of my Rigel translations, how nice, they also have a bunch of Revue Starlight vids on their channel, that sure is some fine taste.
