In Delicious in Dungeon an adventuring group tries to track down and kill a dragon that ate one of their members, but can only survive by killing and eating the monsters they find along the way. Sounds simple, right? Well, this comedy-adventure series is anything but, with loads of often odd humor, detailed cooking sequences and some impressive world building.. BUT WILL DOUG LIKE IT? That’s the question on this episode of DO YOU OTAKU? where Liam once again introduces Doug to a full season of a popular anime series and tries to convince him that it’s worthwhile. LISTEN AND SEE HOW IT WORKS!

Check out DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON (aka DUNGEON MESHI) on Netflix.

Cinema Smorgasbord host Liam O’Donnell is an anime/manga-loving man in his 40s while his Cinema Smorgasbord co-host Doug Tilley is an anime skeptic (and grumpy old man). On DO YOU OTAKU? Liam is going to force Doug to watch popular anime TV shows and movies and RECORD THE RESULTS. On this PREMIERE episode Liam makes Doug watch the 12-episode first season of the comedy/romance/sci-fi/horror anime DANDADAN, where two high school students encounter monsters, aliens and maybe – just maybe – learn a bit about love. It’s better than that sounds. Always curious about anime but have no idea where to start? START RIGHT HERE, BOZO.

You can watch the first season of DANDADAN on Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime or.. heck.. just look for it.
