Eluvianii he/him Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 About FMAB speedrunning the beginning, I feel like that was on purpose. Like they got to animate this second version and went "Oh, they already watched that, let's skip it". But yeah, 2003 is totally worth the watch. It isn't as good imo but that's the impressive thing. Imagine as a studio you get tasked with animating an incomplete work, standard fare, just finish the season and wait. But then they tell you "Actually, you can keep going. Just finish it however you like", and then manage to come up with something this good? Makes no sense whatsoever. So much respect for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would write it, but if I had writing motivation I'd be working on other things. EDIT: Oops, missed Eluvianii's post, yeah I've heard that before. Personally, as someone who had brotherhoods is my first introduction to the series, I didn't think the beginning was lacking, just a little oddly framed. Edited August 23 by J.

Retsam Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 (edited) "Dungeon Meshi" is the Japanese title (yes, including the English word "dungeon") - anime fandoms tend to be very split about using Japanese titles vs. using the official English title. Sometimes because the series gets popular before there's an official English title, sometimes because the English title is just awkward - (way easier to say "Oregairu" than "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected", for example) - and sometimes because anime people are just weird like that.

Eluvianii he/him Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I'm the third one, though I do sometimes use the translated names for clarity. That said, the Spanish name for Dungeon Meshi makes me cringe, so Dungeon Meshi it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsam Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I try to stick to English names, but I spend too much time online and so it varies from show to show. I do wish more shows just gave things short, simple English names, like "Erased" instead of Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (literally "the town without only me"). "Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai" for example is a phenomenal romance/supernatural show, but has an incredibly awkward title. The upcoming season being called "Rascal does not dream of Santa Claus" is not better. (Unrelated, the whole "bunny girl" aspect makes it seem ecchi but it's really not - it's just a plot point in the first arc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvianii he/him Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 The bunny girl show has supernatural elements? Huh. I suddenly want to make it a priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what time I've spent in the online fandom, I think the vast majority of people call it Dungeon Meshi--in fact, Raven your only the 2nd person I've ever come across that actually says 'Delicious in Dungeon.' Delicious in Dungeon is a poor translation, probably messed with by translators so it seems more interesting. A correct translation of the title would be 'Dungeon Food.' I believe, a long with a lot of other people in the community that this fits a lot better. Plus, Dungeon Meshi just rolls of the tounge nicer, you have to admit. I agree it's more split both ways in other fandoms, when it comes to the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
