Digging into Delicious in Dungeon - Renegade Animation #149
In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru discuss the inaugural season of Delicious in Dungeon, while shining the Indie Spotlight on Dungeon Flippers!
What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my co-host, the Animation Guru! We’re excited to share this episode, which just so happened to be dungeon themed. We’ve already briefly shared our enthusiasm for the first three episodes a few months ago during our 2024 Winter Anime impressions, but please tune into this podcast to hear the full discussion of Delicious in Dungeon season 1!
Indie Spotlight: Dungeon Flippers
This week’s Indie Spotlight couldn’t possibly have arrived at a better time, premiering on YouTube on June 20th, from creator Travis Fowler. Dungeon Flippers has a great premise, introduces some fun characters, and sets up a world with limitless story opportunities. The best way to guarantee this show has a future is to either support their Patreon, or check out their merch store.
“While it has some rough edges here and there, if you love shows like The Owl House and Dragon Goes House Hunting, you will love this delightful and charming indie pilot.“
Delicious in Dungeon
To reiterate what we said towards the beginning of the year, Delicious in Dungeon may very well be the best anime of 2024! For a more comprehensive breakdown of the world building, I once again defer to this amazing video by Mother’s Basement. If you’re someone who’s either relatively new to anime, or you’re a veteran who’s sick of the fantasy genre eating its own tail with a nonstop glut of isekai light novel adaptations, then you’ll find this one quite refreshing.
“In what seems like an endless ocean of fantasy shows that all start to blend together due to a broken industry, Delicious in Dungeon is a refreshing fantasy serious that delves into a creative and delicious world full of lovable characters, fantastic animation from Studio Trigger, and an animated experience that truly stands out in the wild world of anime.“
