I went off anime when the isekai and moe craze took off about 10 years ago.

I tried to get into modern anime, but couldn't (JoJo is based off an 80s manga, that doesn't count as modern to me).

But I'm on episode 3 and I'm really digging Dungeon Meishi/ Delicious in Dungeon. I'm watching the English dub and It's like if Monster Hunter and Dimension 20 had a baby. The humour is great, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. The world is cool too.

I like how it isn't following the anime tropes. The characters aren't high schoolers, the women act like real human beings, there's no Shonen toy commercial BS. It's just a good fun adventure.

My only criticisms are that it's a little videogamey, it makes me hungry and that the title Delicious in Dungeon makes no sense, it should be Delicious in THE Dungeon.

Senshi is my favourite.

It's going to get better further as the world and lore opens itself. The world has a surprisingly well-established tabletop DnD rule, with each race given fairly sufficient lore just like the edible monster that you have seen so far. I also highly recommend going to the manga after you complete the anime, as the manga has concluded (it is only 90 or so chapter) and the art is gorgeous. Unlike many other manga that drags on, the author wraps it up where it makes sense with very satisfying book-end (although some people suspect that she did wrap up the series just in time for BG3 release last year, the author is a massive western CRPG fan, she's too much of an anti-social to actually play DnD with other people).

This is confirmed. The final chapters were delayed slightly because BG3 came out in August.
