A short review of the Dungeon Meshi anime
Dungeon Meshi will probably be one of the best cooking anime and can compete with anime like Shokugeki no Souma and Tondemo Skill de Isekai Horo Meshi.
This anime takes a unique culinary perspective, if most people think cooking stories focus on stories that are relaxed and far from danger, Dungeon Meshi actually tells culinary stories about cooking from monsters.
The monsters that are processed into dishes in this anime are also very unique, there are strange chickens, liquid slime and mushrooms with legs. In essence, the ingredients or or recipes prepared in each dish shown come from unusual and unique ingredients. Even though it seems disgusting, thanks to the good visualization and the expressions of the characters who look happy while eating, Dungeon Meshi really presents a different kind of cooking anime story.
