Delicious in Dungeon is an absolute hit for the team at Kadokawa.
There is a reason why the world has fallen for Delicious in Dungeon. The fantastical slice-of-life got its start some years back, but thanks to Studio Trigger, it has taken on new life. Delicious in Dungeon has a hit anime on its hands, and thanks to a new report, we've learned the show has turned the IP into a cash cow for Kadokawa.

Clearly, Delicious in Dungeon is a hit, and you don't need this Kadokawa report to see as much. The fandom's embrace of the IP has grown exponentially in the face of Trigger's anime adaptation. The series, which streams on Netflix, proved the service could do anime justice. With weekly episode releases, Delicious in Dungeon thrived on Netflix thanks to social media chatter. The fantasy became a top hit for Netflix week after week thanks to its new release schedule. And of course, it didn't take long for Delicious in Dungeon to order a season two.
If you want to know more about the series, Yen Press oversees the release of Delicious in Dungeon stateside. For more info on Ryoko Kui's hit series, you can read its official synopsis below:
"When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions...and a member! They're eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they're sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: "Let's eat the monsters!" Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons...none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!"
