- This is more of a proof of concept for a Dungeon Meshi OP than a true-to-vision AMV--if I had the skill and fortitude, I would have made this an animatic instead of an edit, because I have a storyboard in my head that can't be done with existing footage.
I kept thinking about the two OPs we have, and while I love both of them, neither captures the full range of the story. The first is adventurous and stoic with some ominous imagery, and the second is playful and fun and showcases the characters' personalities and camaraderie (with some much more subtle ominous imagery).
What I would really love to see from one or both of the season two openings is an integration of both the horror and the humor that form the story's core. It's not JUST a comedic cooking show and it's not JUST a dramatic fantasy show. The tension and the interplay between those concepts are what makes it special.
Something that does this really well is the first Beastars OP--primal, animalistic hunger versus sweet, unexpected romance. So here's my attempt to capture that vibe for Dungeon Meshi: the dangers and horrors lurking in the dungeon, and the joy and whimsy of turning those dangers into dinner.
Hope the concept comes across! Please like and/or comment if you enjoyed, I always appreciate knowing what people think. ♡

Dungeon meshi really revitalising AMV popularity

"It's not JUST a comedic cooking show and it's not JUST a dramatic fantasy show. The tension and the interplay between those concepts are what makes it special." Glad I could find someone who could put the thing I was thinking about it into such good words. Kui strikes a great balance, as good of a balance as you could ask for IMO, between the light-hearted low-stakes elements that give us really great moments like Laios scaring away the sirens with his singing, along with the more heavy-hearted or high-stakes moments like Senshi and Marcille's big moments at the end of the first season. Can't think of a time where the story transitioned from one to the other while being incredibly jarring or giving severe unintended emotional whiplash.
Dungeon Meshi gradually integrating darker and scarier elements as time goes by is bolstered by the fact that Kui's infectious humor persists throughout(love you Kabru and Mithrun), without generally overshadowing big moments and vice versa. Heck sometimes she does both like with what happens with Marcille near the end of the series, twice now that I think about it.
It's such a big reason I enjoy the series so much, and I think you hit a really compelling combination of intriguing mystique alongside the adventure and comradery. This feels like a really great preview or teaser in a way. Great stuff.
This was a fun amv. Thanks for making and sharing!
I had a fun time making it, glad you enjoyed. And thank you for watching and commenting!
THIS IS SOOOO PEAK. oh my god banger!! literally cooking
The editing for this is so good!
love this soooo much!!! totally agree with you in terms of wanting somewhat more from the OPs- striking that balance between silly, sweet, and morbid that dungeon meshi does so well. the editing on this is amazing, i love how pairing some shots together can recontextualize them a bit. prepping food > skinning and gutting animals, getting that carnal flavor, etc. and that last shot of the gang getting ready to eat themselves feels a little more sinister here, which i do love- i think the second OP is gonna shine especially well once we've got the whole show out, and everyone can appreciate the foreshadowing that imagery. oh, and the winged lion at the beginning!!! thats one thing i wish we got more in the OPs; i think there was one shot of its paws in the 1st, but i would have loved to see more imagery alluding to it, etc. although i can also understand the desire to avoid spoilers... hoping that the second season will present us with some awesome shots to compliment the insanity of back-half dunmeshi!!!
This was awesome!!! Amazing work!!!
I love this an unreasonable amount
PEAK
