Like the title says, don't be fooled by the name, I was expecting something silly and more of a joke, but ended up binging 60 episodes in a weekend - lol.
Season 1 hooked me up, season 2 and 3 were good enough to keep me, but season 4 was peak fantasy anime. I won't pretend it doesn't have it's silly moments, fan service or harem tropes, but Danmachi also has genuine growth, pain, suffering and happiness which are hard to find. The mix between comedy, seriousness and cliched anime tropes is balanced, and it doesn't overextend itself.
Yes, it's not groundbreaking, it's not something to smash up the genre, but it's so much fun, I loved it. Every season is a continuous improvement and I can't wait to see what season 5 brings next. The dungeon world is incredible and the monster variety is awesome, you don't get bored of it.
Also, Ryu best girl.
