That’s where the praise ends in this department. There’s also this sense that Bell is really fighting for something he wants and not simply hacking at things for no reason.

At that point it really starts to feel like we are watching something interesting come together. The cast also expands a little at that point, definitely to the show’s benefit. Some of the later episodes had some more interesting fights with more than just some crystals on the line. For all its terrible harem schlock this is at least a nicely paced adventure. Some also force him to change up his technique and get creative. He has to overcome these grim reminders and apply the new knowledge he’s learned to beat his enemies. Some of these enemies remind Bell of when he was weaker and it brings some painful memories. Different enemies provide a new challenge. Bell makes progression at a ridiculous rate but at least events keep coming and every episode feels fresh in some way. I’ll put my positive first: This is that show that doesn’t dwell on things for too long. With the help of his goddess Hestia, Bell sets out to conquer not only beasts but also his fear of approaching the girl of his dreams. There he encounters the talented and renowned ‘Sword Princess’ Aiz Wallenstein.

Bell is an ‘adventurer’, one who goes forth to the dungeon to seek fame and glory while putting their life on the line to do so. cast and a setting that doesn’t exactly shout out originality. Action is served up in droves but in an equal share comes a bland Staff and based on a light novel, ‘DanMachi’ can at times be an enjoyable experience if you shut your brain off. A 13-episode fantasy story put to screen by J.C. Welcome to the world of Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka, where strong personalities are obviously illegal and main characters are inexplicably attractive to women. There are times you get a reminder that no matter how many swords, boobs and magic you throw at a show it can’t save it from the boring characters among it all.
