I can't believe I binged the entirety of the Dungeon Meshi manga last night until 3am. It was really an excellent read. I remember when I read it long ago it was nowhere near completion, but seeing the animation come out made me want to check in on it. Sure enough it is complete, and... yeah I'm very happy with it.
A human story as old as time. Desires to do good, but ultimately create evil. All wrapped up in a metaphor about... food (and consumption). I also like that Dungeon Meshi understands that nature is a cycle of energy transfer/consumption, not necessarily evil or good, but it just is. In a way it's like how hunters respect nature the most.
There's also this theme of accepting death, which was something I was personally dealing with. I ended up incorporating that idea into my game's story. Like I said, it's a very good human story.
