Forget ‘Dungeons & Dragons,’ Netflix’s Best High Fantasy Series Is a Perfect Weekend Binge
Netflix's anime series *Delicious in Dungeon* (also known as *Dungeon Meshi*) is being highlighted as an outstanding entry in the high-fantasy genre, offering a fresh take by blending traditional adventure storytelling with an unexpected culinary theme. Based on Ryōko Kui's popular manga and animated by Studio Trigger, the series stands out for combining two seemingly incompatible genres into a cohesive, well-crafted whole, distinguishing it from more conventional fantasy fare such as *Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves*.
The story follows adventurer Laios and his party as they re-enter a monster-filled dungeon to rescue his sister, Fallin, after she is swallowed by a red dragon, while also incorporating detailed cooking elements drawn from the dungeon's creatures and ingredients. The article praises the show's art style, characters and thematic consistency, positioning it as an ideal binge-watch for fans of fantasy adventure looking for something different from familiar genre staples.
