Dungeon Meshi – First trailer reveals more cast, opening song and premiere date
Cast:
Saori Hayami as Falin, a magic user who explores dungeons with her brother Laios. Akira Miki as Namari, a dwarf who became separated from Laios and the group. Shinji Kawada as Shuro, a talented swordsman who also left the group.
Synopsis:
When young adventurer Laios and his loyal company find themselves suddenly attacked and defeated by a fearsome dragon in the heart of a dungeon, the group finds itself completely stripped of its precious financial resources and supplies. The eagerness to resume the journey is palpable, but a distressing dilemma arises: how can they continue without food or funds, when hunger threatens to torment them at every step? However, it is Laios who illuminates the situation with an ingenious and, at the same time, bold idea: “Why don't we feed on the very monsters that challenge us?” Be they slimes, basilisks, mimetics or even ferocious dragons… no supernatural being is safe from the insatiable appetite of these fearless gourmets as they explore the depths of the dungeons!
Staff:
Yoshihiro Miyajima (film SSSS.Dynazenon , episode director for SSSS.Gridman ) is directing the anime at studio Trigger ( Cyberpunk: Edgerunners ). Kimiko Ueno ( Eternal Boys ) oversees the series' scripts, while Naoki Takeda (lead animation director for BNA: Brand New Animal ) is designing the characters, and Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Black Butler: Book of Circus ) is composing the score sound.
