Summary: The Western Style Cathouse. Near the business district and nestled in a poor corner of the shopping district, in the first basement floor of a multi-business building. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. is lunch time, and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. is dinner time. During holidays and weekends, the business district becomes empty. Lunch is up to 1000 yen. You have your free choice of rice, bread and soup and it’s a good variety. On the signboard mounted on the store’s entrance is the image of a beckoning cat. The cat’s bell is the main feature of this mascot. My cat-loving grandpa left this small store to me who, if I had to say, liked dogs better. In other words, an average restaurant you can find anyway.
…Ah, but there’s one thing that’s different from other places.
Every Saturday, the store has some very special guests come in, and it becomes a business day. Shouldn’t the store be closed? That’s right. That’s why it’s a special sale. Only on Saturday, we welcome only these special customers, and because of that, superficially it’s a holiday. Even I don’t know when my grandpa started doing this. But, ‘Those on the Other Side’ call this place ‘The Other World Dining Hall’.
It has really good reviews and unexpectedly popular, the author took a year and half break after vol 2. Must be coming up with a plot.
Tyler Gutierrez
Fuck, girls with ram horns are my fetish. Might have to watch this...
Angel Hughes
IS THAT A FUCKING TIEFLING?
David Watson
Holy shit. This feels great.
If only the novel translations weren't dead now.
Gabriel Hughes
Oh shit really? Nice. I remember asking about this when it was first posted, it was just comfy cooking in a modern world apparently.
Isaac King
It's reverse isekai. People from a fantasy world step through magic doors that lead to a certain eatery. All the food(usually) is from Earth.
It's definitely comfy cooking. The artist made me think it was written by Narita, and it does feel kind of like a really laidback version of his writing with all those characters.
Hunter Wright
Is this another japanese cuisine circlejerk series?
all of the things listed are delicious, this anime will be great.
Juan Nguyen
Well, it's surprisingly balanced.
Carter White
Well, the place is called the Western Style Cathouse.
Lucas Campbell
Reminder that the cook, when he was young, spreaded potatoes to the fantasy world and transformed a small kingdom into an empire.
Isaac Richardson
>anime
Oh fuck you. Of the trio of cooking fantasy manga, this one got the anime adaptation first? Where's my Duneon Meshi anime?
Eh, it's probably better that way. Won't get any shitposters in the threads.
Adrian Scott
There's a third one?
Cooper Fisher
Isekai Izakaya, maybe?
This has a manga though?
John Thomas
I've never read this, but if that's what he got with potatoes, imagine what he could've achieved with corn. Hell, what about wheat or soy?
Jack Hernandez
What sort of cringeworthy, garbage translation is this? Was it done by a brazilian or a chink?
Austin Thomas
>Duneon Meshi I'd rather we get an english localization of Dungeon Meshi instead of an anime. If it has to get an anime, at least wait until the series is over.
Juan Campbell
The manga has been selling very well. Isn't that a usual sign of anime adaptation coming?
Jaxson Morris
>If it has to get an anime, at least wait until the series is over.
I don't think you quite understand what the purpose of anime adaptations are.
Charles Rogers
That's what I don't want because the quality of adaptations is pretty low right now.
Shameless cash ins on popular series?
Hudson James
Out of all the different isekai stories to get an anime, I have to say this is definitely not even close to being on the list of what I was expecting. Pleasant surprise.
I'd like to see the staff that did Baccano on this, but that's mainly because the LNs share an artist.
As long as it isn't a shitty A-1 adaptation.
John Cox
>the quality of adaptations is pretty low right now Depend on studios. KyoAni is the best bet.
Blake Williams
>Out of all the different isekai stories to get an anime, I have to say this is definitely not even close to being on the list of what I was expecting Oh definitely. After Youjo Senki announcement I was expecting something more extreme, but this is very nice.
Isaac Young
>Isn't that a usual sign of anime adaptation coming? user, I have a list of great selling manga that still don't (or will probably never) have anime adaptations.
Yotsuba for one. ;_;
Justin Fisher
Doesn't Azuma expressly dislike the idea of Yotsuba getting anime?
It isn't happening unless another Shirokuma Cafe happens.
Jeremiah Campbell
>Yotsuba That is a special case. The author has vetoed anime adaptation.
Wyatt Ramirez
Was the LN selling just as well?
I do also remember it being in narou top 20
Noah Davis
Meshi has a LN?
Ayden Sanders
Ah my bad thought he was quoting Shokudou.
Jordan Butler
Yeah, that one.
It's basically what I had expected Dungeon Meshi to be. Episodic, plotless dish-of-the-day shit.
Brayden Jones
Your logic doesn't make sense, user.
Matthew Gray
Isekai Izakaya is that.
>coming up with a plot
Prepare
Jacob Sanchez
>coming up with a plot
Prepare for crash and burn.
Chase Ramirez
At least Meshi still got the most Pixiv fanarts out of the three.
But fuck I'm butthurt that shitty mary sue bookworm series got more
Eli Rodriguez
Sounds wanky as fuck. Dropped.
Can't be helped. That series got a lot of crazy fanboys for some reason.
Jaxon Clark
Maine has pages of pixiv artwork?
Anything lewd?
Where are the fucking chapters, blastron?
Jayden Ortiz
Most of her artwork are Deviantart tier. Prepare to be disappointed.
Camden Wright
>Most of her artwork are Deviantart tier
Thank God Meshi mostly has competent fanartists.
Chase Morales
>That series got a lot of crazy fanboys for some reason.
That series got Touhoufags and Precurefags flocking to it.
Probably had some Saiunkokufags too judging by how some artworks are eerily similar to the style of that series.
Kevin Parker
>comparing Shuurei to Maine
They're like mirror opposites. Lots of similarities, but Shuurei is honest while Maine is manipulative bitch.
Eli Powell
>it's an isekai series >without a harem >or cheat abilities >or RPG stats >or an obnoxious hikki-NEET protagonist >or modern Japanese sensibilities wanking
Parker Morales
Mite be cool.
Connor Martinez
>without a harem NANI? Fucking dropped.
Robert Brown
>It isn't happening unless another Shirokuma Cafe happens. wat Explain.
Isaac Richardson
It's not even an isekai.
The series is all in the restaurant, and it's only "other worldly" to the monsters and shit that come there
Josiah Phillips
Sort of related, but this news makes me wonder about all those cooking manga out there that never got adapted. I'd like to get an anime of Shinya Shokudou just to find out how the art style would be handled.
One day, maybe we can also have a Bambino anime.
Christian Johnson
>It's not even an isekai. >literally has isekai in the title
Aiden Smith
>and it's only "other worldly" to the monsters and shit that come there It's an isekai to elves and dwarves and shit.
A door opens up in fantasy worlds where they go to the restaurant in 'the real world'.
Jose White
Looks good.
Hunter Richardson
>super long black hair Interest piqued.
Adam Hughes
At least those popular ones got adapted. Oishinbo did. Mr. Ajikko did. Cooking Papa did.
Jace Cook
Fucking foodanime, I swear to fuck. There is nothing more boring.
Matthew Brown
Oh, I thought for a second this was Isekai Tensei Sudoku, which is decently good.
Probably not enough material yet though.
Jose Richardson
>Shameless cash ins on popular series? To boost sales. Anyway adaptions are usually shit but whether it's because I've become more jaded or because the quality has actually dropped it seems that in the last 3 or 4 years they've been even worse than normal.
Jordan Johnson
I thought flying witch was a pretty bad anime but a pretty good manga.
Ian Gomez
I read the first few chapters a long time ago and never really got into it, which was strange because I usually love that kind of thing, so I never bothered trying the anime.
