[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9261691, member: 6796661"] I was talking about this with one of my players last month and he was telling me about how several anime properties have "condensed" versions that cut out a lot of the call backs and fluff. I think it was originally intended to help people get caught up on long series. But it seems to be a growing trend to help people enjoy anime who get turned off by just this thing. I don't think that would work very well with Delicious in Dungeon, however, as it so far doesn't have lots of call backs (to new in the series and is Netflix produced, so I doubt that will be a huge issue) and does have a lot of extended internal monologue that many animes use. The only thing you could cut out to focus on the rescue plot and dungeon setting would be all the cooking stuff, which kinda defeats the point of the show. The series is starting to grow on me again, especially with the last episode with the mimic and paintings. I kinda like it being a fantasy cooking show with slow bits of lore, politics, and character background, and the rescue plat being dripped out around the edges. I don't know if it will get old, but it is working for now and is only less than 30 minutes week. So it is a something dumb I can watch on a short break in the evening. Though...the new Castlevania spin-off was just released. But I'll probably have to wait a few weeks to binge watch it due to changing jobs and moving. [/QUOTE]
