But that’s not all – they unveiled the show’s format too, revealing that it’s gonna be a two-cour journey.

They’ve introduced three new faces to the cast:

He’s no newbie – he’s the one who brought us that awesome commercial for the manga’s eighth tankoubon volume.

And the talent doesn’t stop there:

So, what’s Delicious in Dungeon all about? It’s based on Ryouko Kui’s manga, published by KADOKAWA since 2015, with a hefty 12 tankoubon volumes as of August 2022. According to Yen Press, here’s the lowdown:

Picture this: Young adventurer Laios and his gang get wrecked by a dragon in a dungeon. They lose everything – money, supplies, and even a teammate! Now, they’re all fired up to rescue their lost comrade, but there’s a teeny tiny issue – they’re broke and hungry. What’s their genius plan? “Let’s munch on the monsters!” Yep, slimes, basilisks, and even dragons are on the menu for these dungeon-crawling foodies!

And here’s the cast:

• Kentarou Kumagai as Laios
