Delicious in Dungeon aka Dungeon Meshi, a Japanese fantasy comedy is set to bring its television anime adaptation to the fans. Published by Enterbrain’s Harta magazine, this manga is filled with comic elements, cooking imagery, and fantasy. The series was first published on February 15, 2014, and after almost eight years of continuous success, Studio Trigger has taken responsibility for its first-ever anime adaptation. Studio Trigger is popular for Kill la Kill, Promare, and the upcoming Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
Ryōko Kui’s manga currently has 12 volumes released for its readers and it is interesting to notice how foods play an important role in this manga series. Every volume has chapters named after foods such as Hot Pot, Omelet, Stewed Cabbage, Sorbet, Porridge, Stew, Egg, Dumplings, and many more. We can also notice a few cooking expressions being used as names of the chapters; ‘Boiled in Salt Water’, ‘Broiled with Sauce, etc’. The cooking terms come to the plot as the band of warriors try to survive in the dungeon by cooking the monsters and eating them to stay alive.
Is there a Delicious in Dungeon anime trailer?
The trailer of the Delicious in Dungeon anime adaptation or Dungeon Meshi anime is not out yet. It is speculated that the trailer will be released once the production process finishes by Studio Trigger.
However, a teaser visual for Delicious in Dungeon anime was released on the official website and on the official Twitter account.
The visual doesn’t reveal much except the Delicious and Dungeon characters sitting together around a meal and someone keeping an eye on them from a distance.

What will be Delicious in Dungeon anime plot?
The story takes place in a fantasy world of dungeons where guilds arrive to raid the dungeon. They also hope to find the mysterious golden kingdom one day because it is considered to be a treasure. A group of six explorers tries to kill a dragon but they end up losing Laios’s sister Falin to a monster’s stomach. Laios and the rest of the surviving members try to rescue his sister before she is digested in the stomach.
During this time they lose most of the supplies that they need to survive including rations and now the explorers come to a decision that they would kill the monsters for food. If only they had Falin with them at this time they could use her magic to be teleported to a safe place. Luckily they meet a dwarf Senshi who is living proof of survival, he has 10 years of experience in cooking monsters.
It would be interesting to see how Delicious in Dungeon anime brings this story alive on television.
