Right before Namari and the Tansu party appeared, I asked who of the main four character were peoples favorites. Izu wasn’t yet in Laio’s party, no-one knew about Marcy’s less than legal hobbies, and Senshi seemed like a simple wise old man. And Falin, while not present, wasn’t yet a chimeric murderbeast.
We are halfway in the story. Although they only appeared in a few scenes, the appearance of the elven special forces, the Canaries, means all major characters have been introduced.
So who’s your favorite now?
PS: Is anyone interested in picking up the manga? I am thinking about replacing the weekly episode discussions with manga read/reread discussions. Starting from chapter 1, and running in-between seasons, past chapter 52 if the wait ends up that long.
Previously, I chose Falin.
I’m choosing Laios now. He’s just a great guy all around. He reminds me of Harry Potter: he’s going to conquer the dungeon because he doesn’t seek any riches and such from it.
Not interested in picking the manga up just yet, since we know for certain that the anime is getting a second season.
He is driven by one thing tho. Monsters. Which doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about people, and as we know it only makes him more interesting. But Kabru’s concern that Laios, given control of the dungeon, might be a threat, isn’t entirely out of left field.
Senshi commented that the dungeon responded to the greed in his party, but it’s not just greed for material riches that count. He’s already noted that the goals of the party are causing the dungeon to bare its fangs at them to an escalating extent.
