This was a really good episode. It showed how much the relationships between Kobayashi, Tohru, and Kanna have grown--they've really become a family.

At this point, my ideal ending involves Kobayashi telling Tohru to call her by her yet-unmentioned first name :3:

This isn't how negotiations with Kyoani work.

You've gotta demand that they kiss, and then if you're lucky you'll get Tohru combing out Kobayashi's ponytail

Lucoa's scenes with Shota are still pretty bad, but I'll admit that the dream imagery genuinely made me laugh until it cut back to Lucoa.

Also I'm not sure I've found any concrete info on the ep count, but if it wasn't relatively low, and ended up being 13+1 like someone said, one wonders exactly what they plan to do with an entire 5 more episodes after the sports festival...

Yep. Lucoa even calls him "Shouta-kun". It's not subtle.

Also I looked at that timg'd image up there and wow. This thread had hinted at her, but I didn't realize how bad the character who hopefully isn't going to be in this is.

She's not in the intro, so it's unlikely she'll make the cut. Which is good, the show already has enough fanservice, and even compared to Lucoa/Shota, Ilulu is some HIGH OCTANE fetishism.

Having glanced over the manga and listening to people on this thread, it seems like KyoAni is really smoothing over the rougher edges of the source material, which is great.

Yes. That is the point. He is named "shotacon" and half his character involves being perved on by an older woman. That is what I am saying.

I like the manga, but yeah this adaptation definitely improves on it. I look forward to more of the best dragon, Elma.

She's literally the reason I stopped reading the manga. I apparently draw the line at small child-like person with tits literally half the size of the rest of her body.

there's a fifth volume out now, and it apparently has nearly zero of the new/bad dragon, so they'll probably be fine even without needing to make up a lot of anime original stuff (though i'd imagine if they wanted to come up with original stuff it'd be good anyway)

edit: oops i didn't realize that was the darkened area in that image. not sure why it's blacked out like that...

On another topic, I noticed the Japanese title is "Kobayashi-san chi no maidoragon", and I'm not sure what the 'chi' means in that context. Is there a goon better at Japanese than me who could explain?

long story short it's basically "household", so it's kind of like "the Kobayashis' place's maid dragon". gives it a little more of a homey/family feeling

I remember from (i think) an earlier entry on the sakugabooru blog that there were a lot of opening shots that suggested a time of year, does anyone know if the one for this ep is another traditional seasonal thing? It seemed like an intentional layout but i have no idea about japanese traditions.

Mine's probably Fafnir, predictably enough. Kanna and Tohru are neck and neck for second, Elma just behind the pair of them, and Lucoa well behind her.
