Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka II OVA

its really fun to see them having fun and joking with each other. With a story devoted to this, this is the perfect ova. The storyline is easy to understand, fun, beautiful scenery, and of course fan service. Everyone shows what they have here, they are competing to be the best. One thing that I really appreciate is that the animations are really good making the scenery really beautiful. And they really do a wonderful job in detail. Everything looks amazing and attractive, and the appearance is absolutely perfect. Their swimwear is simple but nice and creative, unlike swimwear in general.

I didn't see the reviews till after I saw this ova... let me just say if you're seeing my review then odds are you've seen the top reviews, maybe you even saw the scores are very mixed for this ova, add another because my score is a new one not yet done for this ova for the reviews here. Anyway, the ova, there's a few things you should know if you plan to watch this.

Its its own story, none of it is canon, it also doesn't take itself seriously at all. That brings me too... ever hear of parody and fan service? Of course you ... have, but this ova takes both of those and takes it to, uhh, somewhere, lets just say its, special. For the fan service its cringe and uncomfortable, I really disliked this which is the 1st half of the ova, the 2nd half takes on a drug trip plot and yes the 1st and 2nd half are the same story, you'll know you've reached the 2nd half when the sword princess appears. :)

Because this is a parody of sorts, characters do not act in the same manner you expect them too. (also due to the fan service but I digress) some enjoyment can be had from this ova but it really depends on each person, this is why you're seeing so many mixed scores and why despite the top review saying to stay away from this and don't watch it, I say otherwise and the score is not too low (Granted a 6 rating isn't exactly high but its not WORST anime ever territory either and ovas tend to be around a 5-7 anyway) as to whether YOU will enjoy this, I honestly can't say, I didn't the 1st half, but the 2nd half I enjoyed despite the near no sense plot and what ever the heck it was I just saw. So, with that said let me give you the scores so you can better know how I personally feel about whatever the heck this ova is lol

Numbers are my ratings for each field

Story: 1
Art: 7
Sound: 5
Character: 5
Enjoyment: 7
Over all (aka my actual rating of the anime): 5.5

I saw this English dubbed and I was able to have some enjoyment from this ova but, this isn't something I normally would care for at all, i just found a few jokes and a few moments to be enjoyable, which is why I rated the anime so high. Maybe YOU will rate it higher than me, or perhaps lower, give it a watch and see if ya like it or not, or don't, up to you really :)

... oh look! A sea cucumber! Gross! *Toss* hahaha

LISTEN TO EVERYONE ELSE AND DO NOT WATCH THIS.

This is one of those times where I saw a bunch of 1 star reviews for something and thought "well it can't possibly be that bad-"

It is.

It's actually even worse than people are saying.

Somehow this OVA took the concept of a beach episode (which is already pretty cliché) and made it worse. Despite being 26 minutes long, only the first 5 minutes of this OVA could be considered an actual story. The Hestia Familia goes to a beach and shows off their swimsuits in a bid for Bell's attention (despite Hestia having said she has changed her ... tune at the end of season 2), and that's pretty much where this OVA should've ended. But instead, it goes on a nonsensical, overly repetitive, logic destroying series of unrelated events that simply waste your time.

My theory is that this episode is made up of all of the unused backdrops and animation cycles that were left out of season 2. It honestly feels like a beach episode was cut from the original series itself and then the studio scrounged up 20 more minutes of repetitive stock footage and tried their best attempt to create a story out of it. There is no regard for plot, continuity, character accuracy, or even a fitting conclusion. It just gets weirder and weirder until it writes itself into a corner that resolves with the "it was all a dream" ending. OR WAS IT? (No I'm not kidding, they actually hit you with the "was the dream REAL??" cliché too)

If you have any fondness for Danmachi at all, do yourself a favor and remove this OVA from your memory right now. Despite being non-canonical, it somehow manages to completely destroy the original story in such a way that it will haunt you. Don't even watch this for some kind of ironic enjoyment, because it's not there. Unless you think watching the same beach tide footage, flying crane footage, and poking sea cucumber footage 18 times each is funny, you will only come out of this OVA feeling like you are now dumber for having seen it.

1/10 all across the board
