I watched the first two episodes of the anime version of "It's Wrong to Seek Encounters in Dungeons," based on the manga by Ryoko Kui. The core of the story, about a group of down-and-out adventurers who survive by cooking the monsters they find in dungeons, is the same, and the food they cook from basilisks and insectivorous plants is wonderfully rendered as luscious as Miyazaki cuisine.

It is also very game-like. Delicious in the Dungeon is the closest thing to a "Wizardry" anime since the 1991 "Wizardry" anime, and it feels like someone's D&D campaign. The adventurers are quite tolerant of death, as they all know that magic can revive them, and the dungeon has an ecosystem as well thought out as an old Dragon magazine article about the Lamia ecosystem.

This makes sense. This makes sense, because Ryoko Kui is a fan of CRPG. She has drawn fan art for Planescape: Torment, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and Pathfinder on her blog: she also drew portraits of characters from the first two Baldur's Gate games.

The portraits are also packaged as a mod called "Baldur's Gate 2: Anime Edition," so if you want to make your next replay of the classic CRPG a little nicer, download the Portraits folder and find the documentation Just copy it to Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition. Can't wait to see the cast of Baldur's Gate 3 in this style.
