    Uhh...you do know what Hestia is the goddess of, right? What kind of goddess she is?

    Clingy jealously and adorable fussing is as far as it will ever go.

    I don't understand... is if that big guy is so concerned for his party/comrades, why didn't he stop and ask Bell's party if they could help and make their party bigger and more successful. Sounds like poor writing to me or a poor excuse for something larger in the grand scheme of things. That big guy strikes me as a selfish weak character who should be killed off in the next few episodes if that's his way of thinking about dungeon exploration I don't even see that attitude in most MMO I play. I find it odd that see that in this anime. Granted the anime and an MMO are far different. I just don't see the reasoning behind the big guy's selfish attitude which is obviously why his party was in danger in the first place. I hope the anime addresses that soon rather than let it it go cause I really want that big guy to be killed off.

    Like it was said, his own party was composed of a few character who were eligible for the middle levels and then amateurs who weren't. Maybe for some shock training? Bell's party was made of a young and naive looking dude, one dwarf supporter, and then finally a single man who looked outwardly worth something. The big guy's party was running past fast, so probably he thought Bell's party was worth nothing but the role of a temporary decoy at best. Two weaks put together doesn't make a strong.

    MMOs are useless to mention. Players typically find the desire to win much much stronger than the desire to keep the character alive, since the character can be resurrected or respawns anyway, for some rather minor price at worst. These guys were thinking of their only lives, however. Getting into that fight might have doomed some of the n00bs at the very least.

    Bell's party was half the size of the big guy's party... I am sure I would be thinking 'Wow those 3 are doing far better than the 5/6 of us have been doing.... we need HALP!' is what I would think. :/

    Most people think they can make amazingly logical decisions in life or death situations given limited time and information.

    Until it actually happens.

    The logical thing to do is to dump the enemies onto Bell's group to ensure maximal survival for the big guy's party. If we assume Bell's group is holding their own, clearly the running group isn't.

    Fighting together runs the risk of dying together.. or losing a few of your own members.

    High-tailing the hell out is the best way to go from an individual's perspective.

    Like Lili said earlier, all adventurers are evil (herself included).

    The poor monsters are trying to live happily in the dungeon, yet every day the adventurers go down there to slaughter them for the crystals and rare ingredients.

    Yeah, I wouldn't like it either if people kept coming to slaughter me for my balls and rare ingredients.

    I forgot how the whole Dungeon idea came about though. They weren't summoned, where they?

    If you think about it like that, shouldn't Hestia actually welcome Bell forming a normal household with somebody steady?

    Has it even been explained? At the moment it seems to me like the various gods created the dungeon, the monsters, and the adventurer advancement (levelling and the magical skills) for their own amusement. Gods of the ancient polytheisms were usually quite selfish and capricious folks, so it would suit them. It all feels so technical and game like that it can't be anything natural. It's of course just another matter of everyday life for the people living there.

    I brought it up because we're exploring the monsters' well-being. It makes a slight difference between whether they were created for game, or if dungeons were indeed part of the natural order of this world.. like a jungle.

    Episode 12 - HS





    -- - - ---



    Looks like it might have been an exceptionally bad idea from the airhead goddess to use her divine power in the dungeon. It's hard to think the appearance of... whatever it is, wasn't connected to her totally unnecessary show of power. Normally I'd say even the gods had no idea, but since we are talking about Hestia, maybe they do have an idea, but Hestia is an exception with her skull full of fluff instead of brain matter. Perhaps the dungeon was created not by the gods but by some opposing force (like titans, devils, etc) and there was a deal the gods can't go there themselves, they may only send the adventurers. Though I suppose it could also have been a warning sent by the higher gods such as Zeus.

    Bell got some nice eyefuls in this ep, nonetheless. Not that he would have had the guts to simply appreciate them, but that's his personality.

    I love the fanservice for this show. It was tastefully hot and well-drawn. I need moar Aiz and Tanned Twins.

    As if he weren't OP enough, Bell now has ninja senses. That entire fight made no sense whatsoever.

    DanMachi - 13 HS

    Glad to see the elf going all out but to be honest the ending kinda diminished Bell's achievements to me.

    Maybe it's a good thing this ended here and now. What would they make Bell fight the next time? His powering up speed is so high that anything less than a huge dragon wouldn't suffice. He's speeding past the likes of Aiz. This is like Nanoha or something, where the old heroines were no good because no believable opponents could be invented anymore. Those who called his new skill OP were apparently right. Now we are spared of an embarrassing continuation.

    A pretty funny show all in all. The meme it generated was no less funny.

    It's a good thing his OP skill needs a pretty damn long time to charge depending on how much stronger the monster is.

    Elf's chant was cool, as was the Gravity crusher. Bell's was actually the most boring attack of them all.

    So it turns out Bell's grandfather was Zeus. That completely explains why he says it's okay to pick up girls in dungeons! XD

    The biggest achievement of this anime was for generating Hestia merchandise, official or otherwise.

    What kind of an achievement is that supposed to be? Many measly shows have generated merchandise. The biggest achievement, with no doubt, was that ribbon. A huge amount of fanart of unrelated characters sporting a ribbon like Hestia's suddenly appeared. And as if that wasn't enough, lots of cosplayers went out to test how unwieldy it is in reality, even though I doubt they all could have had interest in the character otherwise. Not even 1 out of 100 shows can pull of something like that.
