It is clear that Dungeons and Dragons has a lot to offer. The most popular role-playing game in history is the starting point for Stranger Things, and also the universe in which Honor Among Thieves is set, one of the most underrated movies of 2023. But this game continues to expand in multiple ways, and the latest one is through an animated… cooking series.
Netflix has just premiered on its platform Delicious in Dungeon, an interesting animated comedy series that comes from Japan and adapts the homonymous manga by Ryôko Kui. Its trailer already makes it clear that it is a funny comedy that perfectly blends this fantasy universe with the world of cooking.
A series for exquisite palates
The series focuses on the young adventurer Laios and his companions, a classic group of D&D that begin their story being attacked by a dragon and sent to the depths of the dungeon. At that moment, the peculiar team finds themselves with all their lost money and provisions. So, without money or food to return with, Laios has a subversive idea in his own world… to eat the monsters.
Basically, the series is a kind of exploration of the fantastic world of the role-playing game where adventures are mixed with ingredient analysis and the constant discovery of what can and cannot be eaten. It is clear that many times everything ends in a disaster, but it is nothing more than a chronicle of survival in the purest style of The Last Survivor.
The first episode of the series is already available on Netflix, and the second one will be released on January 11th, thus launching one episode per week. This is an unusual practice for the streaming platform, accustomed to releasing everything at once, but it may be a testing trend that could lead to Netflix releases arriving on a weekly basis.
