The last anime I actually really liked was Cowboy Bebop. I try getting into it off and on but I’m kind of put off by the common tropes. That said, my d&d characters for the past 20 years have been some variation of “that’s an awful lot of hydra meat that’s going to waste if I don’t cook it” which I understand is the premise of the show.
Is it worth giving it a try? Am I going to have to sit through an unreasonable amount of jiggling tits?
This is sort of true and the relative lack of traditional fanservice type stuff is refreshing, but I don’t think it would be fair to say Dungeon Meshi isn’t horny, because a lot of its thematic focus is indirect, allegorical commentary on sexuality, even if it is generally very tasteful about it.
