It’s still Marcy. But then I’ve held the stance since the start and I’ve read the manga, so it was unlikely to change watching the anime.

I really wanted to see more of Izu in this season, but as she isn’t with the main gang from the start, there was never going to be that much of her int this first run.

Rest assured she’s in it for the long haul. Next season we’ll see plenty more of the best cat-girl in fiction.

No, it has some multi chapter arcs, with single to two-chapter monster encounters in-between.

Yes. I want the community to be a place where anime onlies can be active without worry.

I’m considering a weekly manga chapter discussion thread to replace the episode discussions, which would continue for the full series, but we’ll see whether that has any traction.

Luckily season 2 doesn’t have many more new characters, so most fanart is now fair game, etc.

The manga is also perfect.

Having read it made me more excited for every episode, not less. Every week, I was hyped to see fantastic moments from the manga in motion.

Do you have any idea how hard it was to hold back on Izutsumi fanart until she got introduced?!

The anime is fantastic, but I still wouldn’t say the manga is a “lesser” version of the story, so if you want to know what happens next, don’t hesitate.

The anime will still be amazing, and worth watching.

Indeed, there are tons of things we don’t know about the mad sorcerer that we will learn as the story continues.

But one thing I can say, is that he is aptly named. Unfortunately, Thistle is very, very far from sane.

Laios’ promise to never leave Falin again is a poignant indicator of the fact that he does care for people. A lot.

It’s such luck that they’ve made so many friends during this delve! I’m sure a standup guy like Kabru will be delighted to help consume Falins dragon parts!

Smolcy was too good for this world. But it’s better this way. Elven Senshi is too much for anyone to handle, and Chil is better off tiny and light.

I really like how they all notice the differences between their races. Marcy is useless with the mana-pool of a half-foot. Chil really does have good reason to bail on combat. Dwarves are strong AF, but it isn’t all upsides. Tall-men may be weak, but they have unbeatable endurance… Etc.

And elves are just… Really hot?

Looking at what a labour of love this has been, I think the only way the studio would be getting swapped, is over Triggers cold, dead, corpse.

Behind the scenes, Trigger has been courting Ryoko Kui to adapt the series for literal years.

They are not letting this one go after coming this far.

Chapter 52 made for a pretty good stopping point in the end. It got some deets from the surface mixed in, and an outlining for what the gang plans to do next.

Many questions remain. Why are the elves here? What exactly happened in Kabru’s home village? Why is forbidden magic forbidden? Who and what is the winged lion? No high-stakes final climax, just a calm trolley-ride into the unknown.

If you’re dying to know what happens next, I highly recommend the manga. Having read it has not ruined watching the anime for me in any way whatsoever. The opposite, I was only more hyped because I knew what was coming. So once season 2 rolls around, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it just as much as I have, if not even more knowing that the story only gets better and more interesting as it goes. Or maybe it’d make the wait even worse…

If the manga is something that interests you, I’m happy to say the adaptation has been extremely faithful, to the point that there are no differences to account for if you want to pick up where the anime has left off. Your starting point, then, would be chapter 53. Still, the manga is a masterpiece, and I think reading it from the start will give you an appreciation for the details, and a chance to notice new things, which is something the anime has been doing for me.

This episode adapted another Farcille moment that I’m really happy I don’t have to wait for. Is it even possible for a character to be sweeter than our dear Marcy?

And Izu is already showing a huge change. Though initially put off by Marcy’s outburst of emotion, she is very quick to try and awkwardly offer comfort. Not to mention that she was settling down for a nap in Marcy’s lap to begin with :D

Sorry you got spoiled. Feel free to report any further spoilers you see, as discussing plot elements not yet adapted by the anime is against community rules.

Dude wtf. Banned.

Not at all.

I’m no medical expert either, I’ve just looked into this in my endeavour to take care of myself.

I’ve talked to both doctors and nutritionists about my body composition, and what to look out for if I want to alter it in some direction.

I really don’t like the way my face rounds out when my body fat gets to the 13-15% range, so most of my life I’ve maintained a mere 8-12% by altering my diet whenever things go in a direction I don’t want.

That’s easier as a man, but as a tall dude with disproportionately long limbs, who doesn’t get bulky even when I strength train, it does mean the rest of me ends up looking skinny to the point I start getting comments about “starving myself”, even though the numbers aren’t even close to unusual.

I do have muscle, I just have to flex them for it to really show, and because my limbs are long, and my fat genetically tends towards intravascular, people looking at me come to complete nonsense conclusions.

That I have personal experience with people trying to feed me more than I want to or actually need to eat, makes it especially irksome seeing it done to others.

Sure, if you have full overview of someone’s diet, exercise, and body composition, as well as a graph showing the changes in those things over time, then you could start making conclusions about what kind of changes may be warranted.

But someone’s weight and torso from a single point in time, tells you literally nothing unless they are visibly in the process of wasting, or morbidly obese.

That’s lipolysis.

The difference is that under normal circumstances the body does not consume muscle, nor all its different kinds of fat stores. Not all fat in the body serves as mere energy storage. (The brain is about 60% fat, lipids are a crucial molecule in the way neural cells function)

Lipolysis is also a more short-term process (hours), while catabolysis occurs long-term to facilitate continued functioning during prolonged starvation (days-weeks).

Basically, your body has started consuming parts of itself that it will not survive without in the long term. The final stages consume the proteins that process proteins, meaning eating again at that point won’t save you, because your body is no longer capable of metabolising food.

I really don’t like the trend of looking at peoples bodies and using that alone to determine whether the amount they are currently eating is insufficient or excessive. The way someone looks just doesn’t tell you that except for at the really extreme ends of obesity and starvation.

We don’t know enough. Only she does, and whether she is acting upon what she knows in a way that’s healthy, isn’t something the commenters can know, either.

That does not look like 35kg to me, unless she is tiny af. Which she might be. The self harm scars in other posts obviously mean she’s been not ok at some point, but may not necessarily mean she’s still struggling now.

While I’m all for encouraging healthy living for everyone, that does not look like catabolysis, or like so much definition to be cause for worry due to a fat percentage approaching nothing.

People can look very skinny, or quite thick, without reaching a point that comes with significantly increased health risks. If nutritional needs are being met, muscle and fat mass can vary a lot without being unhealthy.

That’s not to say you can go as low as you like as long as you eat right and avoid catabolysis, low body fat has some drawbacks of it’s own, but they only kick in when approaching very low percentages. Fatty tissue serves many biological purposes and as such eliminating it entirely or pushing towards a very small number, has adverse metabolic, pulmonary and immunological affects. Above all, the nervous system is absolutely reliant of fatty tissue.

An increase from Dungeon Meshi. Izu is here, things will only go up from now on.

The next three episodes are gonna be nearly ALL killer, no filler. It’s time to get back to the meat of the plot (though the dungeon meshi plot veggies are very good and important, too).

This was maybe the best joke once the series got started.

The manga shifts to a much more serious and emotional tone with the occasional gag once Helck and “Anne” get portaled off the mainland.

The anime didn’t quite pull off the execution of that I think.

I love the self-improvement club bros. They are such bros.

Or you could read the manga.

Personally I think this one story is worth jumping through every hoop one might imagine.

I hold it above all other manga, and with how stellar the adaptation has been, I can’t imagine it won’t soon be true for the anime as well.

It is Netflix exclusive. Episodes are coming out each thursday, we are up to 19 out of 24.

The 24 episodes will get the anime to roughly halfway, at the current rate that the anime is adapting chapters. The manga is complete, and though it is not announced, everything points to a second season finishing up the adaptation in the future.
