The Saikawa and Lucoa stuff is the worst and only Fafnir saved this episode

I wish they had left out the line where Lucoa offered the kid her body. Without that line, the joke is that Lucoa is just super oblivious about the effect she's having. With that line, the whole thing is kinda uncomfortable

honestly if that joke was repeated verbatim in Gintama or something I probably wouldn't bat an eyelash but someone itt has told me Cool loves shotacon so it's hard to dismiss it as just a weird joke

yeah i guess this whole "is an ancient god but also a total idiot" angle is why it doesn't bug me, especially since the reality of the line is not even entertained for a second. mostly i was surprised at shouta refusing the magic power. good on him!

yeah it's played innocuously enough that you could brush it off but their designs are basically a big nod.

but i mean, I think the main sell behind Cool K as a mangaka is he's an active doujinka who shapes his perverted ideas into heartwarming stories

It's the super weird poo poo with Saikawa and Nana, which by dint of being around makes it even harder to dismiss the stuff with Lucoa and the new kid uggggh


fortunately the show had mercy and ended the episode with Fafnir

It likely is fanservice for the author's perversions, as well as part of the larger cultural attitude that treats underage boys being taken advantage of by older women less seriously than the other way around. Just look at any story about a female teacher sleeping with a male student, every rear end in a top hat has the same joke about how he's the luckiest kid in school or whatever. But death of the author lets me get past it, and at least the core of the joke is consistent with the whole dragons not understanding human morays schtick. I do wish Kobayashi objected more in that scene at least, she was uncharacteristically quiet and it would have been a way to undercut the tension.

It's not going to stop me from enjoying the rest of the show, but I totally get why it would for some people, and I wish it was handled differently at least.

Agreeing that Fafnir's otaku bromance was a nice chaser and ended the ep on a high note.

i get just not liking the general atmosphere around kanna and saikawa, but imo it's weird that people just flat out say they want to gently caress. they're children, and don't know what a gently caress is.

children copy what they see which is why saikawa says she wants a relationship like kobayashi and tooru have, and i think the entire point is missed if you try to finish their thoughts for them. kids have nebulous impressions of intimacy. they don't know what they're talking about, which is why kanna and saikawa's thoughts are both left trailing. it's supposed to be precocious.

Hasn't a jp viewer already translated what Kanna mouthed to basically 'wash each other by licking', i.e. The thing that Kanna and Tohru did in dragon form?

I'm not losing my mind over it but if the author is known to be weird about kids naturally people are gonna read that into the scene rather than assuming the best about it

I think the show is much more enjoyable if you just ignore the manga, and certainly ignore the background of the mangaka.

makes sense, and reiterates my point if so. i'm kind of surprised if reading her mouth is actually that easy though, I just brushed it off when I saw people trying to do that.

It's the exact same line in the anime and the manga, and I'm pretty sure he was out of pages for that chapter.

The line is ". . . shittakatta" which literally means "I wanted to do . . .", so it's pretty vague. The manga took some liberties to interpret it in the translation, and it seems like they were off.
