I'm so happy for my strong gay dragon child.

Iruru continues to look very very dead. Kanna visiting Kobayashi's office was the first scene Iruru should have been in that she's been explicitly written out of, and between how much original material was in this ep and how much the preview seems to show, I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining 4 eps are comprised of a bunch of original content and then the confrontation with Tohru's dad.

Iruru's main use in the story was getting Kobayashi closer to Tohru/Kanna and explaining why exactly Kanna got banished, so it seems they are doing those functions with the other characters

It's not very often I care about Sports Festivals in anime, but this one managed it.

Also Tohru tail skits will never stop being funny.

Also also I like that Elma is prevented from causing any trouble this episode by having too much choice.

Oh, and if they do merch for this show I hope there's dragon plushies because dragonKanna is adorable.

Glancing at the manga to see what the fuss is about :


I dunno, Irulu's design is bad but her character accomplishes the following:
-Introduces conflict about the nature of their relationship between Humans and Dragons which I feel serves as a stepping stone to the hinted at encounter with Tohru's parents.
-Pretty much is the only character to successfully knock Kobyashi out of her comfort zone and shatters her usual stoicism which I thought was hilarious.

Excuse me, Elma is an order dragon and good and strong and my friend, and would never cause trouble for anybody. :colbert:

Iruru's not ENTIRELY terrible and even if she shows up I very much doubt her worst scene'll get adapted, I just don't know that she accomplishes very much that the anime hasn't already done better just through slight shifts in focus/delivery and original content.

That's the thing, her character is not entirely terrible since she does serve a story purpose. Esp with being that little devil that tempted Kanna to destroy the office so that Kobayashi would get a day off... Her character design on the other hand serves only one very strange specific purpose :pedo:

Elma gags were fantastic, Lucoa gags were not horrible.

Once more I enjoy this episode of 'Kanna the Animation featuring Gay Moms'.

I really like that the Lucoa gags are getting varied; even if they all boil down to her having big boobs, it's refreshing to see stuff that isn't Shota being scared of her. I hope the two of them can get along and have a big sister-little brother dynamic, that'd be cute.

World class was legit funny.

well, since their human forms are reflections of their selves, if Kanna grows up by societal standards through attending school, her human form might do the same?

Am I the only one who kinda wishes Kobayashi hadn't told Kanna she'd be coming? I don't know, I just think the reaction she'd have when she saw her mom in the stands would be adorable. But then again, when is Kanna not adorable?

I was worried that they wouldn't let Kanna and Saikawa's class win as a means of 'you win some you lose some' but I'm very glad they did win
And I loved that Kanna's motivation was being praised by Kobayashi

gently caress this is a good show.
