Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 15 (season finale)

Rating: A DanMachi may not always be the best-looking or most flawlessly-animated series, but it has rarely fallen short on dramatic presentation and does better than most when it comes to delivering on its biggest moments. That is no less true for this season finale, which brings to a conclusion the anime’s adaptation of novelsContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 14

Rating: A- Appropriately titled “The Warriors of the Goddess,” episode 14 features a lot of dramatic action scenes involving said warriors, but despite the War Games winding down to its final stages, that’s not the main focus or point of the episode at all. Instead, the focus is much more on what motivates those warriors,Continue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 14”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episodes 12 and 13

While both episodes are covered together here, I felt I had enough to say specifically about each to write each one up separately. Rating – Episode 12: A Though its animation effort may have its flaws, DanMachi has always excelled above most other fantasy series in the dramatic staging of its fights and the emotionsContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 11

Rating: B The saying “it’s always darkest before the dawn” is practically a writing guideline for shonen action shows, and it is one that has often applied to this franchise, too. The situation isn’t at its absolute lowest point yet as the episode ends, as Hestia and her allied gods are all still safely inContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 11”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 10

Rating: B+ As announced at the end of last episode, the trouble with Freya is going to be resolved the classic Orario way: with a War Game. Yes, we’ve seen this before in the DanMachi universe – when a god became obsessed enough with Bell to go after him aggressively – and I can’t faultContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 8

Rating: A- In all heroic stories where things go bad, there is a turning point. In the case of this arc, that “point” is the entirety of episode 8. No action in this episode can single-handedly carry that distinction, but taken together numerous actions set the path forward for climbing out of the hole thatContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 8”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 7

Rating: Despite Freya Familia seeming to have nearly all-encompassing control of Orario, last episode still left the status quo with a few loose ends. This episode explores several of those, while also dropping the first vague hints about possible resistance to the status quo. With so much ground to cover in various little scenes, thatContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 7”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 5

Rating: A- Hermes has not always been completely on top of situations, but he rolls with the punches better than anyone, so seeing Hermes look this alarmed is the first indication that the situation this episode is even more dire than it appeared to be at first – and that’s saying something, because a dedicatedContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 5”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 4

Rating: A DanMachi has always tended to emphasize its action elements, character interactions, and dramatic presentations, so I may not actually be saying much by labeling this as maybe the single most plot-dense episode in the entire franchise. But that’s still exactly what this is. No other episode has more big twists or more layersContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V episode 4”
