"Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" (DanMachi) celebrates its 10th anniversary as a fantasy series where gods live among humans and form "familias" that explore monster-filled dungeons beneath the city of Orario.

• Bell Cranell, the protagonist, is the sole member of the Hestia familia who develops rapid power growth due to his feelings for swordswoman Ais Wallenstein
• Despite catching the romantic attention of numerous women and goddesses, Bell consistently friendzones them all while pursuing Ais
• The five seasons follow distinct arcs: introduction, saving a fox girl, protecting a dragon girl from prejudice, a tsundere elf's feelings, and Freya's manipulation
• Season 5 reveals the shocking twist that Syr was actually the goddess Freya (or her protégé Horn) in disguise, gaslighting Bell
• The series balances RPG-like progression with romantic comedy elements but never becomes as violent as similar fantasy anime
• The series earns an 8/10 rating, with the light novels now reaching their final arc
