A lot of anime comments coming from people who read manga. My take is the elf in the manga looks cuter than her anime version, even drawing looks the same. May be the anime is unable to show certain charm in the manga. Too bad. I thought she could be one of the most iconic elf in anime. The warrior guy in the manga acts more like an idiot, but he is is good fighter nevertheless. The anime version doesn't show that trait. The hobbit character looks redundant in anime and manga. The dwarf is a traveling chef who acts as the mentor for the team.

The story is more like Animal Planet channel for Dungeon and Dragon than a cooking channel. It explores the biology of fantasy monsters. There are plants eating monsters and meat eating monsters. The elf's strong reaction against eating monsters is understandable. It is like some people don't eat red meat, but they consider eating seafood is fine.
