Medieval fantasy in Anime often serves as fertile ground for storytelling. Yet within this shared setting, two series stand apart in both tone and tale: Berserk and Delicious in Dungeon. While both traverse dungeons, their journeys couldn’t be more different.
Berserk, renowned for its dark and harrowing narrative, plunges into the depths of despair alongside its protagonist, Guts, and his companions. It’s a tale of grim determination in the face of overwhelming darkness, leaving an indelible mark in Anime.
In stark contrast, Delicious in Dungeon takes a lighter, more whimsical approach to the dungeon expedition. Set against the backdrop of culinary creativity, it follows the adventures of Laios and his companions as they seek sustenance in the most unexpected of places. Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons become ingredients in this fantastical feast.
The recent developments in Delicious In Dungeon hint at more sinister and dark developments, which made fans point out the faint yet growing similarities in both anime. While these similarities do not amount to anything, as both animes do not have any crossovers anytime soon, it is supposedly a fun activity to indulge in.
The status of their respective anime and manga adaptations paints a contrasting picture. While Berserk’s manga continues its grim march forward without a current anime counterpart, Delicious in Dungeon’s manga reached its ending last year, yet its anime adaptation by Studio TRIGGER and Netflix is just beginning to tantalize audiences.
For those hungry for adventure, Delicious in Dungeon awaits on Netflix, offering a delectable blend of dungeons and culinary creativity. So whether you prefer your dungeons drenched in darkness or seasoned with a sprinkle of humor, there’s a fantastical journey waiting to be savored.
