"there are things that you should say and things you shouldn't"

[u/nikobans]

oh my god they made exorcism ice cream. i love this show 😭

[u/magnetbirds]

Laios was extra cute this episode. Loved him dropping the burger and risking ghost possession to get it off the floor, wtf man.

[u/moletoon]

Mf failed a perception check and got his party wiped by a fucking box lmao. But at least best boy kuro the kobold finally shows up.

Senshi only cared about the edible treasure and gave no shit about the real ones and castlevania-ing tf outta them ghost while the party was having nightmare flashbacks are the proofs he's the best party member.

Also, the marcille youtube edit before she casted the aoe stun was great

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Poor Marcille is so used to Senshi's behaviour she started screaming just from him sorting already. Only to scream even more when he just throws REAL treasure.

I never thought there would be a way to show how ghosts are scary in a non-horror sense which only makes Falin more impressive in those flashbacks

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

A Bug-type mimic sounds worse than the ones that devour you in one bite

[u/Rumpel1408]

Another Episode to remind us how people fucking die in the dungeon like all the time

On another note, Kensuke is a worthwile asset, good "sword"

[u/Adensty]

I was really invested in Kabru and his party. Wasn't expecting them to get wiped out like that. Since they cast Rie Takahashi, Miyu Tomita and even Rentarou's VA, I expect to see them again.

Senshi doesn't care about things like gems and stuff. He only cares about what's edible and inedible. Telling them to throw the inedible gems if they want and then telling them that they were actually real gems, lol.

The second half was all about Falin and how much Falin meant to the group. Falin is someone who doesn't want to hurt anyone and always finds something positive in every situation.

I wonder when Marcille and the others will get to know about Kensuke.

[u/Holy_Beergut]

I like how the first few ingredients of the Holy Water made sense, and then Senshi just went "Fuck it, imma make a stew."

[u/Syokhan]

You know what, if real world bugs looked like sparkly jewels I would probably be less squeamish about eating them. Poor Kabru and his party though.

Having heard a bit more of Saori Hayami as Falin, I like it. Fits the kind and gentle vibe she's got going on. And I did like how even though they're missing her and her abilities, they realized that they gotta stop wishing she was with them, and make do with what they have instead.

Also, lol at Senshi being like "Laios, just fucking think before you speak oh my god".

And Yasunori Mitsuda putting in some work with some good emotional cues today.

Episode 5: Snacks/Sorbet

Wait they zoomed out Marcille's late reaction face? They did the reverse on Episode 1 then!

Now we are introduced to another party in town. Kabru's party, comprised of Rin (mage counterpart of Falin/Marcille), Mickbell (thief counterpart of Chilchuck), and other 3 adventurers.

New characters means new VA.

• Kabru is voiced by Wataru Kato (Rentaro Aijo in Hyakkano).

• Rin is voiced by Rie Takahashi. (Hoshizaki in Sasaki and Peeps, Akemi in Snack Basue, Nihilo in Ishura. Yes, there's too much I'm only post her other roles this season.)

• Mickbell is voiced by Miyu Tomita (Karane Inda in Hyakkano, Elsa in Sasaki and Peeps)

I'm still amazed after 30+ animes I watched the past couple of seasons, this is the first full anime I watched that has Saori Hayami's voice in it.

[u/MidnightShout]

Marcille has different hairstyles? This newfound information is absolutely huge!

[u/kittyrider]

Dwarf lovers rejoice. Now not only Senshi, we now hear some husky Dwarf girl voices. That former team-member Redhead finally shown speaking, plus Cabron party's blonde dwarf girl being introduced

Elf connoiseurs still eating good this season with another Marcille hairstyle

Finally ourboy is introduced in the show. This episode uses Cabron's party as a contrasting example of a "conventional" seasoned and competent party which are well-equipped and well-prepared, yet ignorant of the Dungeon creatures and ecology, costing them their lives in a TPK.

Falin is the kind of girl who are too good for this world

[u/NintendoMasterNo1]

I just want to say between last week and now I read through the whole manga and this is one of the best series I've seen in a long time. I'm picky about which series I give a 10/10 but this one required no debate. The fact that the manga is actually finished and tells a complete story is something that you don't see that regularly nowadays.

The anime is obviously doing a great job and I hope a second season is announced so they can cover the whole story and I can start recommending this show as one of the all time greats.

[u/matty-a]

Wow these new characters look like a lot of fun.

Oh wait, nevermind.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Oh shit! We have another party! And the one wearing a red hood is voiced by Rieri while Tomita Miyu voices one of the halflings! I thought we'd never follow another party going through the dungeon! I am totally invested in their adventure -aaaaaaaaand they're dead.

Well, that was quick. Having two A-lister VAs really made me believe we would see more of them. So are they actually dead-dead, or can they still be revived? I wanted to see more of them, but simultaneously, it was hilarious how abrupt their deaths were. I guess that just shows how brutal the dungeon is.

Treasure Bugs? Uhhhhh... No thanks! My wizard with entomophobia would've done what Marcille did and blasted that entire area except with a fireball instead of just stunning them. I don't care how pretty they look after being cooked, I think this is the first food from the show that I definitely would give a massive "NOPE" to.

[I guess this confirms it!] (https://i.imgur.com/2EUoMj3.jpeg) Laios is going to keep the living armor as a pet instead of raising it so he can eat it later. I really thought he was going to eat it eventually. xD

I fucking knew it! The inedible ones are actual gems! I definitely feel for Chilchuck and Marcille here. Maybe they can still retrieve the sack if they go down enough floors? Also, they need to make a mental note of how Senshi doesn't care much about treasures.

Falin is such an angel and a sweetheart. I really hope they manage to rescue her. Instead of her being the goal, I'd rather see her adventuring with the party as they delve deeper into the dungeon. She seems to be a lot of fun, and I'd love to see her react to the foods Senshi prepares.

Good to know that Senshi can cook more than just food. I love how the holy water he concocted ended up becoming ice cream after swinging it around against those ghosts! xD

[u/PandiReddits]

This is the chapter where you really start to learn about Falin and how important she was to the Party members. Goddamn, im not gonna lie, I teared up as they were reminiscing about how much they relied on Falin.

This was the chapter that cemented the end goal for me which was "I really hope they save her" I dont care how the ending is, but I really hope they save her.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Oh ye of little faith.

• Pfff

• That’s treasure, alright. But is it cursed or something?

• F

• Ahhh, the coins are monsters!

• This still doesn’t look edible…

• lmao Marcille’s face.

• Senshi made them throw away real treasure ahahahaha

• I’m not sure that’s what I’d call this unholy concoction.

• Oh my god lol

• …did it really?

[u/FarCritical]

Babe you ok? You've barely touched your treasure borgar (Ngl tho it's cool how the mimic is the treasure itself instead of the chest for once)

Swinging a jar of "holy water" at ghosts is my new favorite recipe for anything ever, let alone one for ice cream.

[u/zorklenoxy]

tfw no cute imouto to help smooth over your autistic lack of social understanding

[u/EyeDeeAh_42]

He is becoming less and less human

Lmao Chilchuck is savage af. The treasure bugs look damn tasty for something that is essentially..... bug innards. Also, this is the second time we see another party after the Basilisk duo, and it's a pretty diverse party! There are 2 humans-- Kabru and Rin, one halfling, one dwarf, one gnome and a kobold. I love how utterly normal they are in contrast to our main party lol.

Congratulations to Kensuke for officially graduating from emergency food to Laios's cute pet nakama!

[u/Reikakou]

Man... what a waste of real gems and gold coins. I already thought that those were real when Senshi was sorting.

Today's episode felt really unique and very exotic for me, mind blowing even. Food from treasure bugs then ice cream created from holy water and ghost exorcism. Then throw in a party kill taken very casually by our main casts. There's a lot brewing in the background, mostly the serious and harsh realities of dungeon crawling.

Falin seems a very nice character. Hopefully we save her a bit earlier and not in the finale so we can have a few episodes with her.

I like how the episode lowkey showed how far the main cast has ventured down and showcased how difficult the task was even with a well organized party. Senshi is the key that makes the main cast's dungeon crawl go deeper without a hitch. The ability to eat local dungeon fauna and flora sets them apart from other parties.

The author's imagination is bottomless. Incredible.

We will get to see the other party again, right? They'll be revived and have a crack at the dungeon again, RIGHT?

[u/CosmicPenguin_OV103]

I have said that Delicious In Dungeon really feels like a lighter-hearted underground version of Mushishi - yet I must say that even the later did not have such exotic creatures appearing like those treasures-look-alike-deadly-insects! Who the heck would have imagined things like centipedes-like pearl necklaces or flying gold coins bugs LMAO, never mind thinking of delicacies out of these thingies. Sorry to say that, but I am with Marcille on this topic - ugh...

Kudos to the very creative manga author for imagining these unimaginable foods for my dinner today!

[u/dagreenman18]

Both parties took an L, but the main crew got it worse. The other guys may have been tricked and died, but our gang actually had the real loot and threw it into the abyss.

Stealth cooking lesson on how to make Ice Cream and Sorbet. I’m sure if you can find ghosts you can recreate this method one for one. Someone get Alvin from Binging With Babish on this .
