HBO tried to make the line go up by cutting two episodes off the second season in the midst of the writer's strike. Like no exaggeration, the season 2 finale ends in a way that makes it immediately obvious two more episodes were supposed to exist. They were simply truncated along with the all the payoff for many of this season's character arcs and plot lines.

One of the writers even made a statement that an eight episode season wasn't their decision. Unfortunately the news of that must have hit them too late in production to fully accommodate that in the writing.

Except on all the subreddits for this show, the prevailing opinion amongst dipshit redditors is that the writers are cutting book events to make time for LGBTQ asoiaf fanfiction.

While that'd be based if true, it's not. Like wtf? Do these people live in a different universe? Are they watching a different dragon show? Redditors ain't alright, man. These people watch the enshittification of media in real time, and their lack of media literacy results in them going on queerphobic witch hunts and throwing wild assignment of blame at anything but HBO and capitalism.

    My dragon show "dungeon meshi" is doing great. Comfy cooking show, interesting characters, well-established world building, diverse, multi-layered characters and escalating stake, done by talented animation studio in close consultation with a caring author who already finished her part of the bargain (the story is finished) and knows exactly how things should be adapted. mario-thumbs-up

    Can't wait for S2

        Monsters are vegan but only if they aggro you first.

        Even if it isn't vegan, it has more respect for the concept of "ecosystem" than your average american has for their own food supply. The next season will be unhinged.

            Yeah, my friends have been recommending it for ages, but they also watch it on Netflix. It looks very cute though, and I'm happy to see a bit more variety in the character designs than the usual generic "anime" look.

                That's good. I've gone off anime entirely for the same reasons (It's extra annoying when I have clients constantly hiring me to draw characters from "What if I was reincarnated in generic video game fantasy world and we did nothing with that premise #33546" and they keep trying to get me to watch it.) so my friends probably wouldn't have recommended it to me unless it was something actually special.

                    I’d prefer the isekai protagonists would do nothing to those generic video game worlds instead of exploiting them with bullshit metagame trickery until capitalist realism turns them into hellscapes repurposed entirely to serve the isekai protagonist’s whims and vulgar cravings.

                    Or if they dealt with slavery in the fantasy world by actually opposing it instead of just buying a girl off of the slavers to "free" her.

                    It is something special to me. I very nearly stopped saying I liked anime entirely for a while until Dungeon Meshi came around.

                    I'm currently at that point, so hopefully it'll change things for me!

                        Watched the first half dozen or so episodes, really like it so far. It's nice and chill to just watch after work.
