Danmachi - How Do You Get Girls In a Dungeon

What is Danmachi?

Danmachi is short for It Is Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, based on light novel by Fujino Omori and Suzuhito Yasuda. The plot is about an adventurer named Bell Canel, who is a part of a Hestia Familia and wants to catch up with a swordswoman named Ais Wallenstein. Ais Wallenstein is a part of Loki Familia and consider the strongest adventurer and star in a spin-off “Sword of Orario”.  Hestia is a goddess of starvation and one of the main protagonists of Danmachi. She is very obsessed with Bell and get jealous of his relationship with other female characters. As the series progresses, Bell become stronger and gaining new allies like Welf Crozzo, a blacksmith from Hephaistos Famila. Liliruca Arde, Bell’s supporter also was originally from Soma Famila.  Haruhime Sanjono, a demi-fox who was apart of Istar’s Famila and more.

Danmachi Season 2 - Epsiode 11

Bell gains attention from other familia and Gods like Freya (who falls in love with him). His personality draws monsters who talk humans and intelligence called Xenos (season 3). In the land of Orario, there are gods, demi humans and adventures co-existence with each other. Main mc goes to different changes like learning spells like firebolt and gaining new equipment. It’s just like a Japanese role playing game, where players have to grind for hours to level up. That’s what Bell does; he trains with others like his Idol Ais Wallenstein. In the series, we explore backstories of major characters like Ryu Lion, an elf who works as a waitress and was apart of Astera Familia in season 4. Ryu’s Familia was destroyed by a creature named Juggernaut, which Hestia’s group have trouble facing. We get to explore her backstory and her relationship with Bell.

More Danmachi

Liliruca backstory was sad because she was used by Soma Familia by pretending to be Bell’s supporter. She was mistreated and Bell befriend her at the end, despite her deception. My favorite arc is War Games because before the big showdown with Apollon Familia.  Apollon was interested in Bell (just like Freya) and flirts with Hestia, also joins forces with Soma to bring them both down. Bell and his Familia defeat Apollon Familia and had to disband, along with seizing his home. Danmachi has a lot of waifus who are very eye catching like Aisha Belka and Cassandra Lllion (those are the best girls). Anyways, Danmachi is on season 5 right now and manga is still on-going. I haven’t seen the latest season yet.  I have caught up with story with recaps (which is very helpful and don’t have watch whole season).

Danmachi II Episode 1

Was not a huge fan of the series but enjoy overall storyline. Do remember season one that Hestia uses her power which gods are forbidden to do so. Also, Bell being shunned for helping Xeno called Wiene. This series got its up and down, what Bell must go through in his journey. Bell got a nickname called Rabbit’s foot because of his level 4 ascension. I have play free to play Danmachi Battle Chronicles which is a gacha game like Bleach Brave Souls. I got a hands-on experience in it, and I wasn’t impressed by it. The game is a pay to win method but cutscenes are well done. They keep throwing it in your face to buy in-game currently with real money. Overall, gameplay was not bad because you choose three characters based on their attributes. There are support characters that bluff, heal and many other in battle.

Danmachi Battle Chronicles

Battle Chronicles is very easy to play but annoying notifications on buying more in-game currency. In my opinion, the game way too grindy for me and lost interest in it. I rather buy 5pb’s Danmachi Infinite Combate for PlayStation 4/Vita, Nintendo Switch and P. If you want to play Danmachi Battle Chronicles, its free to play on IOS/Android, PlayStation 4/5 and PC. I also forgot to mention that it’s developed by Aiming and Team Caravan. Danmachi is a good anime due to its story-telling and how they handle main character. If you love a fantasy anime and a story about adventurers. Check out Danmachi on Crunchyroll and buy Dvds on Amazon.
