What Does the MA Rating Mean for Delicious in Dungeon?
For those living in the US, the TV-MA rating indicates that Delicious in Dungeon is only for mature audiences.
In other words, one has to be 18 years old and older (some sources say 17) to watch Delicious in Dungeon since it is an anime designed and intended for adult viewers.
This only means that Delicious in Dungeon has one or more of the following: strong coarse language, explicit sexual content, intense or graphic violence, or nudity.
Of course, this rating does not come as a surprise given the number of adventure and fantasy anime shows that already have an MA rating in the US, like Arifureta, Overlord, Dorohedoro, Redo of Healer, and more.
On the other hand, Delicious in Dungeon is rated R15+ in Japan and NC16 in Singapore, to name a few.
The ratings vary in different countries, but parents can quickly Google the certification of Delicious in Dungeon in their respective locations.
Parents have to be reminded that not all anime is for children, even though titles like Delicious in Dungeon look like a child-friendly show at first glance.
So, Why Is Delicious in Dungeon Rated MA?
Delicious in Dungeon is rated MA due to its violence, strong language, and perhaps in the latter episodes, nudity.
As a fantasy and adventure anime, Delicious in Dungeon has violent scenes that involve characters killing monsters, dragons, and various creatures.
It is also expected that humans will face each other in a bloody fight as the plot unfolds.
In fact, a corpse was seen in the pilot episode, but the main characters only took it lightly due to the power of resurrection.
We also see a mad magician wreaking havoc and putting a curse on a kingdom. The dungeon is also set in a cemetery’s basement floors, where different kinds of adventurers try their luck to reach the lower levels.
A female character was also eaten alive by the Red Dragon, with Laios and his party wondering if she would still be alive.
Delicious in Dungeon is also a cooking anime that shows the dwarven warrior, Senshi, cutting through monster flesh with blood splatters. The cooking scene in the anime is very detailed, so keep this in mind.
