“Red Dragon II” had Falin and Marcille bathing – nothing was shown, but the characters were presumably naked. Brian ---

Yes, I saw that the elf girl had strands of hair strategically hanging over her “sboob”. ---

I saw a You-tube vid on how anime are created, cancelled, and green-lit. The process is different from the way shows are made in the West. _Simplifying_, there are 4 players. The manga company/artist/light novel publisher/writer owns the original IP. The studio creates the animation. Netflix and Crunchyroll license the finished product. The decisions are made by the **Production Committee**. They buy the rights from the manga company. They _hire_ the animation studio. They _sell_ the product to Crunchyroll and Netflix. The production committee is made up of a number of companies who pool risk. These include Japanese TV networks, manga companies (again), music companies, distribution companies, merchandise companies, ad networks… and sometimes Netflix or Crunchyroll, but usually not. Admittedly, sometimes the animation studio is a member. So if it says “Netflix Production”, it means Netflix licensed the anime: they probably didn’t create it (i.e. they probably weren’t a member/investor on the production committee). Studios such as Trigger or Wit bid on the property: the Production Committee often cuts corners here. As a result, Japanese animators are paid terrible wages, and their supervisors typically don’t roll in the dough either. Blame the Production Committee! There are a lot of variations in this model though.

The later episodes have been more serious (in my opinion). I’m not sure if I prefer them to the “cook and eat the monster-of-the-week” episodes, though. ---

Episode 14 has a new opening sequence. I like it better than the first, fun instead of serious. ---

Weird to have an episode showing the other party. Probably setting up for a team up of the parties vs. The Mad Mage eventually. ---

That episode covered chapters 31 and 32. The next two chapters are a lot more interesting. ---

Well that escalated quickly. 🙂 Also, finally closing in on long-awaited kitty time! ---

I was wondering how they were going to do episode 19 with the kitty intro chapter and the nightmare chapter when there was a time gap and total change of direction between them. I suppose the Kurosawa wipe was the best that they could do with the awkward weld. Using an [iris out](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IrisOut) was as good a way as any to handle it, I suppose. ---

I figured that they would add the kitty to the existing opening credits when the moment was right, was not disappointed. [![](https://i.postimg.cc/Y03wqzwk/dmoc.jpg) ](https://i.postimg.cc/Y03wqzwk/dmoc.jpg) ---

My favorite anime commentator on You-tube has launched a series on Dungeon Meshi. So far Pey Talks Anime has produced 7 vids on the topic Dungeon Meshi in Depth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL71AwF_Rjh4kAabSiLddQtsU1cLM5C5Cw&wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=1&enablejsapi=1 Admittedly, I’ve only watched 2 of them. Pey’s vids are fairly consistent, so if you aren’t intrigued by the first one you see, you probably don’t need to stick around. Personally, I’m a huge fan. ---
