To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Cassette Beasts' release, Jay Baylis of Bytten Studio has made a Twitter thread to share some behind-the-scenes stuff about Archangels:
what you have to understand about dungeon meshi is that the entire conflict basically boils down to "every character is autistic but in ways that clash so catastrophically horribly that everyone thinks everyone else is a nuclear-level threat"
'kids these days are weirdly scrupulous for no reason'. WRONG not for no reason. grew up on increasingly de-anonymized internet, being available to everyone all the time, data tracked, google sees all, digital panopticon, etc. less and less space to explore and form own opinions without judgment from broad public audience. lack of privacy can be deeply traumatic and cause intense paranoia, obsession with thought crimes, morality, etc. not good.
I am in love with the new dungeon meshi OP because it seems way more cute and lighthearted but if you have read the manga there is a genuinely insane amount of horrifyingly pointed foreshadowing and symbolism to every fucking shot. this thing foreshadows every single thing in the finale and no first timer will ever know
I hope the kids growing up on today's internet are still getting to share that experience of finding some out-of-context AMV featuring an implied narrative of characters they know nothing about and having it become a keystone of their brain forever
