Isn't it funny that two of the best anime airing this season, Frieren and Dungeon Meshi, are both intermixing serious plot and action with prime Slice of Life material? It's really a winning combo to have since you want the audience to be endeared to your characters, and there's no better genre for scenarios to do that than SoL.

On another note, I've learned to stop nitpicking and love the Frieren. Despite my hesitations towards calling it excellent from the onset, at some point within the past few weeks all those thoughts have disappeared and instead been replaced by anticipation to watch the latest episode when it comes out. I'll need to go back and rewatch it when the BDs come out to see whether my initial concerns were valid or it was just my unconscious contrarian flaring up.

Scholars have reached an agreement to call this the Utawarerumono Effect. There was a faction that wanted to call the Kuon Konnection, but felt that it should be a bit more broad in scope since other characters exist.

Every decent story ever has had downtime in between action sequences. You would have to consume only shovel ware action-shit to avoid that.

I can see elves hating the parents of half-elves, but I don't see much reason for them to hate the half-elves themselves.
More like pity for creatures whose existences are cruel jokes (while at the same time potentially feeling a bit alienated at the way that the half-elf resembles an elf but so clearly, both in physique and in habit, is not an elf).

24, which means there's only 5 episodes left. It's a shame you're missing out on talking about it when it's airing (since it's already difficult to get any talk of it) but I can understand hating the "to be continued" thing every week. You should at least watch the OP now and bathe in its greatness.

The irony is that Delicious in Dungeon, for the most part, doesn't have particularly good character design. I'm not saying they look bad per-say, but most of the designs are pretty generic, and they don't tell you a whole ton about characters they're attached to.

>just describing the characters instead of making any meaningful point about character design
The title is definitely misleading, it's not about fundamentals at all. But I do think it's worthwhile to highlight DM's simple and functional designs, given the decades and decades through which we've had so much media with characters wearing oversized coats, huge pauldrons, and seven belts. Same thing for its body diversity, which people have been talking about for ages. It's still silly and unrealistic, like wearing no helmets (which Goblin Slayer lampoons with the slayer and then continues to have every other character exposed anyways), but it's... humble, you could say.

Goblin Slayer wants to have it both ways, really. To be anime-cool and yet, at the same time, lay claim to pragmatism (to enhance the coolness factor). The former works; the latter is questionable, even with Goblin Slayer himself. (But getting into that would be meaningless nitpicking by armchair experts).

Dungeon Meshi is far more honest in its self-portrayal as a comic (though, of course, GS is an LN). The equipment is pragmatic within the universe's humorous take on fantasy physics, but it is also intended to be funny. It's not really trying to be anime-cool, but that is less because of pragmatism and more because it's just a different genre.

I don't think it stands alone in that, though. There have always been stories set in fantasy that didn't dress their characters in trench-coat outfits that screamed cosplay. What is interesting is that multiple works with these anime-non-conformist designs have been picked up for adaptation in sequence. The Frieren manga too walks an offbeat track in this regard. I doubt it will set a pattern. But we will see.

Another title that might fit into this pattern is Ride-on King. Will that get animated? On the one hand, isekai adapters are getting desperate for popular titles. On the other, it's Putin.

The thing about Frieren is that no one in that setting seems to wear any armor, not even Stark, so in that sense I wouldn't group it with DM or GS, it's not the same kind of design I'd say. For comparison, a very small thing that strikes me about DM's dungeoneering gear is Chilchuck and the plain ol' gambeson he wears, more so than Laios' plate and chainmail. Neat little thing.
>On the other, it's Putin.
Ayy lmao wtf

>I wouldn't group it with DM or GS,
I'm sorry if I inadvertently gave the impression that I did that. The point was about what it does not do, rather than what it does do.
>Ayy lmao wtf
You haven't read it? It's worth a few chapters, I'd say. And it certainly is closer to Dungeon Meshi in terms of armor and clothing than Frieren is.

As time's gone on and more room has been allocated for the development of the cast in the present and the surrounding world I think that Frieren has really come into its own while not abandoning the roots of which it rose to fame on. The most recent episode being a good case of this in which it shows again its mastery of contextual flashbacks that showcase more the evolution of the world throughout Frieren's life. Setting up Fern to be a worthy successor to her master despite not being or even possessing the potential of being as long-lived as her, highlighting the power and motivation that comes from not having a moment to waste in one's limited lifespan compared to an eternity to dawdle about. Compared to when the series felt like it was rushing through event after event, I very much appreciate seeing a small step in their journey being expounded upon.
