Danmachi to say the least this is pretty much the definition of guilty pleasure, cliches and fan-service in anime. It´s story isn´t over the top but it isn´t underwhelming either, after the death of his grandfather our MC (Bell Cranel) adventures to the great city of Orario to become a hero for the people but specially for "THA LADIES" ;-) hence the picking up girls in a dungeon title.
For the first season the anime is interesting enough to want to keep on watching it, the pacing is a little odd at times for the most part is slow but then picks up quite fast at certain parts. There are things like blessings from the gods and the power system which need more explaining, since all we know is that each adventurer has different skills and blessings depending on their level and god.
The animation is good from a anime back in 2015, the characters are well designed when compared to the LN. There´s quite a wide range of races shown in the anime such as humans, elves, therianthrope, etc. But the most important aspect of them is the "PLOT" on the ladies which is just Aaaaaaah *chef´s kiss*.
The fights are surprisingly well animated making our mc a complete badass.
The characters decent however they lack backstory on some of them, however thats mainly due to a lot of them are thrown in this first season. On the plus side the stories for the main characters have been explained and are quite good with more to be revealed yet of our mc.
The antagonist are quite mysterious since we just get given a vague reason to why they seem to be doing what they are, except for a clue in the last episode.
The sound is also decent and well inplement in the fight scenes and overall throught the anime.
Overall Danmachi has definitively got the potential to be a great anime, specially because of the great things I´ve heard from the LN readers and people who have seen all 4 seasons. If you are into harem, echii or fantasy genres this will denitively be of your taste!.
