I admit that when I saw the first few minutes of the first episode airing, I put it on hold for a while. Then I gave it another chance and, wow, it was so worth picking up again. And yes, the animation, the story and the way it is told makes it feel a little relaxing, at first. But, what I like about this anime is that they not only focus on just a team of adventurers hunting monsters and making food from them, but on telling us a much deeper story.
What makes this anime one of my favorites of the season, and even of the year, is how unpredictable it is from start to finish. Each episode, each scene, each confrontation and each level of the dungeon has a meaning and an objective that connects to each other in the end. Without giving any spoilers, I will just say that in the end it is not only relaxing to watch, but it is also very, very deep (as deep as the dungeon itself).
Also, I add that the opening it has is one of my favorites. Likewise, the animation it has is divine and magnificent, with a level of detail and simplicity that makes it a visual masterpiece in every sense.
I give it a 10/10.
