Over-Analyzing Anime: Danmachi
<h2><span style="background-color: transparent"> </span><strong class="ql-size-large" style="background-color: transparent">Over-Analyzing Anime:</strong><span class="ql-size-large" style="background-color: transparent">Danjon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Daro Ka.</span></h2><h2><strong style="background-color: transparent"> Episode #3</strong></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent">Sup! How’s everyone doing tonight!? Good? Well, you’ll have to be good, because this is a pre-recorded podcast and my, like, two listeners- and that’s being generous- can’t respond. ANYWAY, you are listening to Over-Analyzing Anime, the podcast with your host Hannah Pietras.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">In this episode of Over-Analyzing Anime we will discuss the themes and symbolisms within the anime, get ready for this one, we’ll be here all week, Danjon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Daro Ka, or, because we all like to breath, better known as Danmachi, or in english, because that title is iconic- why are overly long titles such a fad in Japan right now?- “Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?”</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Segment 1: What’s it about?</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent">The city of Orario is the center of the world, due to the Tower of Babel, the behemoth building designed to contain the fount of Orio’s wealth: The Dungeon. Beneath Babel’s stone walls, the labyrinth of the Dungeon births monsters from its depths, made of magic stones that can be harvested to craft magic items and other coveted items, as well as be exchanged for the world’s currency. The brave souls that traverse the Dungeon’s belly, in order to pave a new frontier for humanity and to collect these magic stones by killing monsters, are called Adventurers. Adventurers gain their power from the Gods, who departed from heaven to the lower worlds in search of entertainment, choosing to forgo their heavenly powers to enjoy the perils of the earthly realm to its fullest. The God’s compete with one another to see which of their adventurers, their children as they call them, who fight under the banner of the god who unlocked their falna- their status, which includes ability scores, their level, and special skills- is the strongest and achievements and glory they can bring them with all the possibility of death. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">The story follows one Bell Cranel, a fourteen year old boy who dreams of becoming a hero like the ones in the fairytales that his grandfather read to him and having a chance encounter with a girl(preferably by saving her life from a vicious monster, causing her to fall in love with his heroic figure). But Bell quickly learns that he’s out of his depth when a Minotaur escapes from the lower floors and Bell is cornered, prepared for the end. It is in that moment that in the scenario that Bell often daydreamed about, the roles are reversed, and it is Bell who is the Damsel in Distress in need of rescueing, as the one Sword Princess, Aiz Wallenstein- first class adventurer, one of the few levels five that exist in the whole world, and holder of the world record for leveling up to level two from level one in the shortest amount of time- spares him from death and slaughters the beast. Bell is instantly smitten, but discovers that until he becomes strong enough, he will never stand a chance at being at her side. This the story of how Bell became a hero of legends. </span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Segment 2: Inspiration</span></h2><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Hestia: The greek goddess of hearth and home.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Freya: (Old Norse, Freyja, “Lady”)is a renowned goddess of Norse Mythology.

And welcome to fifteen minutes of time killing. You are listening Over-Analyzing Anime the podcast with your host and anime enjoyer, who can't call themselves a connoisseur for having never watched Berserk, Hannah Pietras </span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">In this episode of Over-Analyzing Anime the Podcast we will discuss: the themes and symbolisms within the anime Noragami. </span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Segment 1: What's it about? </span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent">In times of dire, sometimes you'll see a strange phone number scrawled in red. And should the desperate choose to call, the Yato-god will answer, ready for your wish to be heard- for the cheap price of five yen, of course. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">Yato dreams of being a "God of Fortune '' and having one million worshipers, but without a shrine, he's practically unknown- a god without a name. He spends his days as a "self proclaimed delivery god", doing odd jobs here and there and executing "ayakashi '', malevolent spirits that feed off of darkness and corrupt the good in human's hearts. But after his shinki- human souls that when gifted a name by a god, can transform into weapons- gets fed up with Yato's compulsive behavior and sleeping on the steps of another, more famous gods shrine in the cold at night, quits, Yato finds himself unarmed, and must find a new shinki before ayakashi come prowling. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">But just as things seem grim for the delivery god, fortune comes his way in the form of middle schooler, Hiyori Iki, a young girl with the ability to see phantoms and spirits, who "supposedly"saves Yato from being hit by a truck, taking the blow for him. Hiyori miraculously survives, but finds that her soul has been shaken loose, allowing her to leave her body as a half ayakashi. Yato charges her five yen to change back, but is unable to fix her condition unless he finds a new shinki. Hiyori agrees to help him, and things finally seem to be looking up for the minor god. </span></p><p><br></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Segment 2: Inspiration</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent">Bishamon, also called Bishamonten: is a japanese war god who is a member of the Shichi-fuku-jin(The Seven Gods of Luck, a collective group of deities from India, Japan, and China respectively who bless their worshippers with good luck and fortune all year.
