This fanart is a cross-over between Frieren, and Dungeon Meshi, and this is the community of the latter. Both series center on a party of characters featuring an elven mage in a fantasy setting that has dungeons and mimics.
Both series are very good. If you like Sousou no Frieren, chances are you’ll like this one, too.
Marcille, the other elf, is a very different character. Unlike Frieren, she is very affectionate, and forms close relationships effortlessly. Though it’s only barely become relevant in the anime, the fact that she will outlive the shorter-lived people she loves, eventually also becomes a central element of the plot (having read the manga).
The latest episode featured a nightmare sequence that revealed she carries a deep trauma, because as a child, she watched someone very important to her age to death before she even began puberty. Unlike most elves, it turns out she didn’t grow up among other elves.
It is Netflix exclusive. Episodes are coming out each thursday, we are up to 19 out of 24.
The 24 episodes will get the anime to roughly halfway, at the current rate that the anime is adapting chapters. The manga is complete, and though it is not announced, everything points to a second season finishing up the adaptation in the future.
I have started watching friren, for me I can’t binge watch it because I quickly burn out on it for this specific anime but its nice to put on an episode or two if you’re in the right mood for it
Marcille from Dungeon Meshi, the community for which this is posted in :D
Marcille is a young (50) elf, and a member of the main cast. They are dungeon delving into the island dungeon in an attempt to save Falin, another mage and party member. She was left on one of the lower levels when she teleported the rest of them to the surface to help them escape a fight with a dragon gone wrong.
Marcille, Laios, Chilchuck, and a new acquaintance named Senshi, head into the dungeon to retrieve Falin, cooking and eating the monsters they slay along the way. They were left penniless and unable to buy provisions. Hence the name of the series, “Dungeon Food” or the english version, Delicious in Dungeon.
It’s very, very good. As they get deeper into the dungeon, the word-building gets more meticulous and interesting. More and more things go wrong, and not always in a lighthearted way that the initial comedic premise might suggest.
oh God, yeah that would actually be such a good moment. a late series frieren that has finally come to terms with her feelings getting to talk it all over with a seemingly very young elf.
or, i could see an earlier frieren having someone like marcille help get realize her own feelings. or maybe both of them to realize what it is that they fear together.
they could do a lot with those two characters meeting in frieren. on the other hand, frieren would fit very strangely in dungeon meshi. her methods and motivations would probably make her clear that dungeon overnight with a self satisfied smile and a giddy joy at the magic tome she got from it. might be a bit anti climactic.
Marcy is 50 according to her character sheet. So yeah, very young as far as elves go. Though in Dungeon Meshi a normal elven lifespan is 500. As opposed to Frieren who still appears child-like at a 1000.
They do make for a very fun cross-over pair. They are two very different characters that both deal with some of the same problems. But the worlds they inhabit are also very different. There’s a bona-fide imperial elven civilization in Dungeon Meshi, that is ahead in basically all things magic (though dwarves are on top technologically, hence their equal footing in the ancient world war between them).
Have you read the manga? Dungeons are not really something you “clear” in the Dungeon Meshi world. They don’t really have a final level.
spoiler about the nature of dungeons in Dungeon MeshiIn fact they don’t exist entirely in a real dimension. As the levels go deeper, they intrude into another plane. Another dimension that just keeps going.
spoiler about the mad sorcerers spellbookAnd the book she’d get out of it would be equivalent to discovering nuclear weapons. Potentially world-ending.
