I went off anime when the isekai and moe craze took off about 10 years ago.

I tried to get into modern anime, but couldn't (JoJo is based off an 80s manga, that doesn't count as modern to me).

But I'm on episode 3 and I'm really digging Dungeon Meishi/ Delicious in Dungeon. I'm watching the English dub and It's like if Monster Hunter and Dimension 20 had a baby. The humour is great, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. The world is cool too.

I like how it isn't following the anime tropes. The characters aren't high schoolers, the women act like real human beings, there's no Shonen toy commercial BS. It's just a good fun adventure.

My only criticisms are that it's a little videogamey, it makes me hungry and that the title Delicious in Dungeon makes no sense, it should be Delicious in THE Dungeon.

Senshi is my favourite.

    There are so many reasons to recommend this manga / anime. Like that Laios is undeniably autistic—that man loves monster meals the way I love dinosaurs.

      (I write this as my daughter and I are arguing about whether or not Butterfree's wings are intrinsically toxic or not. The Pokédex says that it can flap its wings to release toxic scales / powder, but that doesn't necessarily imply that the wings themselves are comprised of toxic scales! These are important questions to ask when assessing a Pokémon's snuggleability.)

        pretty sure if human skin and oils touch butterfly or insect wings it heavily damages them right? 0 on snuggleability factor

      He also has a lot of affinity with dogs. He'd go to furcons for sure if his world had them.
