Shradow Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Commonly known as the "Dungeon," the city of Orario possesses a huge labyrinth in the underground. Its strange name attracts excitement, illusions of honor, and hopes of romance with a pretty girl. In this city of dreams and desires, new adventurer Bell Cranel has his fateful encounter with the tiny goddess Hestia. Thus begins the story of a boy striving to become the best adventurer and a lonely goddess searching for followers both hoping to reach their goals and perhaps have some romance on the side. DanMachi for short. The first episodes was quite good, I like the pacing and the MC is pretty cool. He's already managed to get some character development. So far it's pretty much a dungeoncrawler in the form of an anime: character sheets, loot, all that jazz. There's also pretty girls. There's an interesting mix of mythologies here, Hestia is from Greek mythology and the first episode also mentions Loki, from Norse mythology.

Makο Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've been...considering trying to watch it. I've been reading what I can of the manga, and it seems decent. *Looks around room* I even have a poster for the LN. ...Might as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yes it is probably wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon, thanks for asking. oh wait that's the name of the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebuchet MS Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah, a quick search for DanMachi on danbooru and it's a Hestiafest. Her ribbon's becoming memetic, almost like that cleavage sweater a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 That ribbon did strike me as odd, certainly got my attention. I can see why the internet would clamor over it. Hestia is Bestia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 That ribbon did strike me as odd, certainly got my attention. I can see why the internet would clamor over it. Hestia is Bestia? Hestia is bestia. <3 This show's hilarious and has potential. But it's still probably wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon. Y'know, that sounds dangerous and shit.

Yosuke-kun Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 They'll pretty much hav to treat it like it's right when you save their life .3. And it seems like Hestia found all the followers she needs after a single episode in the form of lonely anime fans and suckers for cute girls in anime.

mitchermitcher Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I was a bit skeptical about this at first, hearing it being a lighter version of Shieldbro(Or rather, that Shieldbro was a darker version of this). The first episode was surprisingly pleasant, and I'm glad to say I'm reporting in for the Aiz ship. Then again, the maid's cute as well... But either way, the first episode's surprisingly pleasant. It's enough motivation for me to finally pick up the LN after so long. On an unrelated note I'm a little bugged by the abbreviation being Danmachi. Or rather, I would've abbreviated it to DunDeaiDarou and then again to DDD. Sounds a lot more fun but sadly it's Danmachi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Huh, that wasn't that bad, though the motif of becoming stronger for a girl is kinda dull, tbh, even if it's to redeem himself from humiliation. I'll watch the second episode and see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHN. Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ep 2 was pretty good. Was anyone else just like "give him the god damn knife already"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The way all the gods are portrayed is really interesting, like Ganesha having an elephant mask instead of an elephant head, and of course Loki and Hephaestus being female. Hermes looked really dandy, too. Them betting on Loki vs Hestia was funny.

Shradow Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hestia's dead to me now. How dare she make fun of flat chests! Flat is justice, but I'll let it slide, because Bestia. Plus, Loki's usually an asshole, no matter the interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
