The presence of dungeons has always been prevalent, particularly in the fantasy genre. This is not a new concept. However, the way in which they are incorporated into stories is evolving. Anime such as Delicious in Dungeon and Solo Leveling have shifted fans’ perspective on dungeons, leading to a rising demand for anime featuring them. This trend is expected to continue to grow, as demonstrated by the upcoming release of Studio OLM’s Dungeon People on July 6, 2024.
Keeping this in mind, I have carefully selected the following list for those seeking anime that revolves around dungeons. So, without any delay, let’s jump straight into the top 10 dungeon anime.
10 Rune Soldier
Production Company: J.C.Staff
Louie, a student of the mage’s guild, has joined forces with Merril, Genie, and Malissa to embark on an adventure. Together, they brave the ruins and battle against evil monsters, while also gaining new companions on their journey. However, their most crucial discovery is the sinister truth lurking in the shadows of their kingdom.
9-The Dungeon of Black Company
The studio behind this production is SILVER LINK.
Despite having amassed a great fortune, Kinji Ninomiya no longer feels the need to continue working. From the comfort of his penthouse window, he looks down upon the salarymen below. However, his life of leisure as a NEET suddenly came to an end when he was unexpectedly transported to a world filled with demihumans.
Despite working over 12 hours a day without breaks, Kinji found even a simple loaf of bread to be a luxurious treat. Now, in this unfamiliar world, he sets his sights on reaching the top once again, but will he be able to achieve the same success?
8. Adventures of Handyman Saitou in a Different Realm
The studio responsible for the production is C2C.
Despite Saitou’s undervalued skill as a handyman, he was fired when he asked for better compensation. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, he was struck by our beloved truck-kun and transported to a different world.
Coincidentally, he comes across a group of three individuals – a female knight, a fairy, and a skilled mage – who are specifically searching for someone with Saitou’s abilities. Upon joining forces with them, Saitou is delighted to finally receive recognition for his talents, which were undervalued in his previous world.
Solo Leveling
The studio responsible for this work is A-1 Pictures.
A decade ago, a portal emerged, bringing magical beasts from various dimensions. Some humans were gifted with extraordinary powers to combat these creatures, and they are categorized from S to E, with E being the least powerful.

Sword Art Online
Production Company: A-1 Pictures
The NerveGear offers a virtual reality experience unlike any other VR device. Once users begin playing the newly released Sword Art Online (SAO) on it, they become trapped with no option to log out. In order to escape, they must conquer all the monsters and successfully complete each level.
Although getting trapped is not ideal, the true danger lies in the fact that dying in the game also means dying in real life. Kazuto Kirigaya, a beta-tester, quickly learns the difficulty of completing levels alone and decides to form a group of companions to aid him in finishing the game. With their lives on the line, Kazuto must proceed with caution at every turn.

Log Horizon
Production Company: Satelight
Log Horizon stands out among anime for its successful combination of fantasy and politics. When a large group of Japanese gamers become stuck in the virtual world of Elder Tale, a widely-played MMORPG, chaos erupts as they are unable to exit the game.

Despite his humble beginnings, Bell Cranel harbors a burning desire to become the greatest adventurer. His unwavering determination catches the attention of fate, leading him to cross paths with a powerful goddess named Hestia. This encounter presents Bell with the opportunity to take the first step towards achieving his dream.

However, Marcille and Chilchuck are the only ones who choose to stay at the party. With just three remaining members and a lack of funds, Laios would have been unable to undertake another dungeon raid. Fortunately, they encounter a skilled dwarf named Senshi who agrees to join their party and provide his exceptional cooking skills. This ultimately saves them from their predicament.
