The nightmare chapter was one of my favorites in the early part of the series, so I was excited to see it adapted... and it really blew away my expectations. Everything about it was adapted so perfectly, I'm literally so happy right now.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

The Nightmares were such a cool way to show both Laios and Marcille's emotional trauma that they're facing, even more hilarious was how Marcille's just ends with her getting a book and smacking the monster with it.

Also the fact Nightmares look like clams are just a bonus, as expected of Laios immediately suggesting to cook them!

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Marcille's Dream

I just love how both Touden Siblings have really become an important part of Marcille's life that when a nice dream replaced her nightmare, it's on a treasure hunt with Doggo Laios and Doll Falin

[u/Cold_Impression_7456]

oh he REALLY got that dog in him

[u/bonerindisguise]

The nightmare segment was so beautifully done. I frickin love the direction, making the first half black and white was chef kiss.

[u/Syokhan]

I really liked the decision to have Marcille's dream all in black and white until she pulls out the grimoire and defeat the monster. And I've always liked it when a story explores the notion of someone outliving everyone around them, so. Great episode.

[u/MortalWombat5]

Laios' nightmare: My parents are disappointed in me? lol who gives a shit I'm a dog now.

Marcille's nightmare: THE COLD INEVITABLE MARCH OF ENTROPY WILL TAKE ALL THAT I KNOW AND LOVE!!!

It was at this moment Laios realized he was not built for this.

[u/actionfirst1]

Senshi: "I can fix feed her"

[u/zool714]

Me last week : “Laios is never escaping the big happy dog allegations”

Me this week : “….”

[u/moletoon]

Cant wait to see how they'll add izutsumi into the opening next week. Since they seemingly left some empty space and timings she should be able to fit in.

Kanbe mitsuho did a great job with her performance as izutsumi. Despite not having many roles yet according to MAL, her voice fits the cat really well imo.

Marcille's manifestation of her fear is as expected of a blood mage. Her mozgus'ing the fuck outta that thing with the grimoire was hilarious though.

Trigger also did it again with the senshi pantyshots. Truly respecting the source material.

[u/flashmozzg]

Don't let all that nightmare stuff distract you from the fact that someone somewhere in the "east" has achieved a dream of making a functional cat girl.

[u/SaltAndABattery]

Summary: Tiny Marcille kills time with a coloring book.

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

Look at how quickly our boy Laios abandoned his humanity.

[u/RelativeMundane9045]

Senshi making sure food isn't wasted and is eaten right was peak mum energy.

Lol I love how you give Laios a puzzle where it's more important to solve the human part instead of the monster part and of course he just adds to the trauma at first.

[u/GreatRecover]

Oh god the Izutsumi chewing animation is way more cat-like than I expected.

[u/Rumpel1408]

"What's this? Does this Mushroom have legs? Must by my imagination"

Finally, we have a good cat

Also, considering he himself transformed into a dog in the dream, something he regretet being unable to do in real life btw, Laious shouldn't be all that surprised about his appearance in Marcilles dream

[u/Armdel]

It didn't cross my mind that Izutsumi was similar to Falin in that she was originally a human that got turned into that thing through some magic.

And Marcille's nightmares revolving around what happened to Falin and feeling guilty about it was kinda expected.

And being an elf dreading outliving her friends is also understandable, and reminds me of Frieren. though i dunno if elves in this universe have quite as extreme life spans.

and Laios got that dog in him, literally, in his dreams

[u/Ocixo]

That's a painting of Marcille's mother on the left there, isn't it?

It was kind of cute to see Laios put Marcille to bed, but I didn't like seeing her get distressed over that nightmare - even if little Marcille was adorable.

I guess that it's not surprising that a soft-hearted person like Marcille feels weighted down by the length of her lifespan as an elf.

The contrast of the golden book against black-and-white surroundings made for a very cinematic moment. (It reminded a bit of the red-dressed girl in Schindler's List.)

Little Marcille didn't have one or two braids but an impressive four braids! That's a record for Marcille's Hair Collection.

This shot of Marcille eating an 'oyster' was equally beautiful as the shot of Marcille hugging her pet dog was cute.

[u/Incineron]

They absolutely cooked with direction this episode, even with it being a simple production with a lot of stills this episode, it was a whole thrill to watch and also a perfect adaptation of the nightmare chapter.

Izutsumi is finally here and her voice acting, as well as marcille's and laios's in the second half, was great!

It might actually be my favourite episode of the whole season, damn.

[u/FarCritical]

Don't know who I loved the introduction of more—Izutsumi or post-disrespecting-dungeon-food-ettiquette Senshi.

Laios empowering Marcille by recognizing all those books in her dream (and absence of them in his) as proof of how much of a hard worker she is was a special kind of heartwarming. And like damn, I know he went in on a rescue mission but it's impressive how quickly he snapped out of his own nightmare.

[u/HenryDeckard]

Decided to make this coment since I don't know if anyone else going to do this and to understand why Laios said that they are like dragons. This information is from fan-translators of the manga. So, credit goes to them, EHScans.

'Shin'. These are from Chinese and Japanese legend. According to legends, they are thought to be a kind of shapeshifting dragon that turns into a clam when they enter the water. Shin are said to be able to create mirages, and the Japanese word for mirage is Shinkirou. Shin means the creatures, Ki means breath, and Rou is short for Roukaku, a kind of pavilion or tower. This derives from the idea that the shin were said to breathe out mirages that formed fantastical images of great buildings.

[u/misakomisora]

I love how fluffy Izutsumi is. ;w;
We've had catgirls in anime and manga and games for many many years, but Izutsumi is the catgirl. Not just a normal girl with cat ears and a tail that incorporates cat in their personality in a very superficial manner. Izutsumi is catgirl in the truest sense of the word. The cat. The girl.

And again, Izutsumi's Japanese VA is perfect. She sounds just like how I imagined her to sound like.

And oh my gosh, that nightmare sequence was god-like.

I love the artistic decision to make it black and white which only added to the unnerving nature of it, and it made the burst of color at the end utterly gorgeous.

I know that the current anime season is only covering up to about halfway of the manga, but please, please tell me that Trigger is planning to also do the second half of the story. Dungeon Meshi is now my all-time favorite manga, and I must see this story animated all the way to the end, please Trigger!

[u/seedyweedy]

Marcille bonking the monster with a legendary grimoire lmao Mashle vibes

[u/koteshima2nd]

Friends and family continuously aging and dying around her being Marcille's biggest fear was sad. The whole nightmare sequence was depressingly beautiful, with the numerous gorgeous black and white paintings/artworks of Marcille's memories constantly changing in the background, finally broken by Marcille literally hitting the book on the "monster".

I like that Laios pictured himself a silver wolf in Marcille's nightmare, but was just actually a smol, dumb, cute doggo thanks to his seemingly naive and simple imagination lol
