Why The Dungeon Meshi Adaptation Worked So Well

The final episode of Dungeon Meshi season 1, (ep. 24) is like if you took all the best parts of the series so far, all the elements that make it what it is, arranged them all into a luscious charcuterie board, and scraped the whole thing into your mouth in one go like the hungry little bastard ye are.

Series director Yoshihiro Miyajima has shown his dedication to the story and ability to stay true to the source material while enhancing the most important elements and making adjustments when needed to better fit the medium, and that's on full display here with the final two anime original scenes that hint toward the future of the plot and take what would have been a good but not amazing ending for the season and turn it into a great one.

As well as Nobutoshi Ogura's storyboards, whose symmetry and point-of-view and reflection shots always add a touch of foreboding and personality to what's already there in the manga.

Or the addition of color to the scene in the tram where the deep green benches and warm orange glow of electric lighting gives it the comforting atmosphere of respite from the hectic action that came before it -- or a calm before the storm (?)...

But most obvious to me in particular was they carved out a spot for many of the eccentric key animators who have defined the visual style of the show (and who I've pointed out specifically in past episodes of my breakdown series) to go nuts and do what they do best.

Ichigo Kanno's bombastic action with stylized character designs and insanely detailed wrinkles and shadows:

Atsushi Yoneda's clean line work and uncomfortable realism:

Haruki's character acting and subtlety:

Despite the slight awkwardness of having to finish off the changeling plot in the first half, this really is a culmination of everything that's come before and a great end to the season.

There's a whole lot more where this came from, and I get a lot more into the details of the animation in this video where I broke down the entire episode in detail, so if that's something you're interested in, check it out!

Thank you for reading, and double-dog-thank you if you've been here through this whole series -- I had just started trying to figure out how to use tumblr when I started making these breakdown posts and the response has been amazing both on here and on youtube, so thanks!

HARD AGREE with all of the above!! for those unfamiliar, it is basically a "moving art" piece set to music, a collaboration between director Mamoru Oshii and my perennial fave artist Yoshitaka Amano, composed hauntingly by Yoshihiro Kanno. one of those pieces of art that you watch once and then have stuck in your brain for the rest of time. i can't recommend it highly enough, and if you're so inclined, you can in fact watch it right now (here's a translation of the very minimal script).

Aquila, this is very silly and pointless but just now, out of nowhere, the thought occurred to me to ask you whether you'd ever seen Angel's Egg. You may even have blogged about it before and my memory is just super terrible (it is), but on the off chance you had NOT seen it I needed to make you aware of it because I think you'd dig it very much. Anyway, have a great rest of your day!!

this isn't silly or pointless at all! AND I LOVE ANGEL'S EGG SM it's one of my fave lesser known animes and the perfect example of "no plot, just vibes and gorgeous visuals"

TENSHI NO TAMAGO, L’ARTE DI EMOZIONARE PER IMMAGINI

Era il 1985 quando Mamoru Oshii, reduce dai successi di pubblico di alcuni anime famosissimi anche da noi come Yattaman, Gatchaman e soprattutto Lamù (Urusei Yatsura), decide di dare una svolta personalissima e autoriale alla propria carriera artistica, dirigendo e realizzando a quattro mani insieme a Yoshitaka Amano un Oav molto particolare, Tenshi no Tamago, noto in occidente come Angel’s Egg,…
