Danmachi/Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Danmachi, Anime, Asian Girls, Cartoon, Fan Service, Boobs, Feet,

Danmachi/Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?/Familia Myth is my new favorite thing!

No really, I'm obsessed!



I can't express how much I enjoy this Anime and the world it has presented. Aside from its wonderfully rendered art, and quirky characters, both gods, humans, and animal people. I like the idea of presenting a "Dungeons & Dragons" environment like its not a game, yet the conceits of leveling up, and all the attendant roleplaying game ideas are there, including the collection of jewels which are converted into player money to be spent to buy better equipment and the like.

Right, Hestia is adorable.

Now its rather long, and somewhat awkward title might turn some people off, but I assure you, this show is bigger than Fanservice. Everyone, god and human alike has a story and aspirations, and are not just there for shock value. 

Judging by the the internet, I'm a little late jumping onto the Danmachi craze.

Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 TV series: Genndy Tartakovsky)

Star Wars, Science Fiction, Genndy Tartakovsky, Anakin Skywalker, The Clone Wars, Cartoon, Cartoon Network, Revenge of the Sith, EP III, Prequels,

Why isn't this canon anymore?

Genndy Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars series from 2003 is very good, and deserves more respect. It along with the rest of the original Expanded Universe is a victim of the Disney canon Purge.


I actually do have some notion as to why Disney purged this from the canon, none of it has to do with its quality, which is very good. Unlike the CGI Clone Wars series, Disney was not able to insert itself in real-time into retconning canon.

Don't get me wrong, I like The Clone Wars TV series, it after all gave us Ahsoka Tano, but its also turned out to be the first place Disney began rewriting canon, and if you knew about the EU you can easily notice those moments where this took place. Mostly regarding matters of the Sith.

The other reason I feel Disney axed this was. Season 2 directly had George Lucas's blessing and encouragement and it leads more or less smoothly into Revenge of the Sith. Its a literal adaption of Episode III's open crawl and I don't think Disney wanted anyone messing in their sandbox.

Only Disney can screw up, canon! Trust me, they're not done doing so if rumors surrounding The Rise of Skywalker tell us anything.

Easier to tinker with the CGI Clone Wars as it was ongoing when they bought Lucasfilms.

If you have not seen Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars cartoon - Do yourself a favor and find it!
