The best Iruru joke by far is (spoiler tagging it because it's fuckin hilarious) when she transforms into a human she can't do hands properly so her arm just ends in a nub. Then she learns how to do hands but they're microscopic on the ends of her nubs, then she grows millions of them.

iruru always came off kind of body horror to me

:eng101: The temple in this short only had one set of stairs, making it unlikely it was an Aztec temple. Those were known for their dual-stair design. However, this does fit with Toltec temples--where the myth of Quetzalcoatl (the king who would one day return. Not the god. These are two different entities by the same name. Sort of like how Thor is a god and there are just folks named Thor.) likely originated. In particular, the story that Lucoa references throughout the show likely came to the Aztecs through these people.

Did Kyoani know this or care? Probably not! Is precolumbian Mesoamerica cool? Yes, very much so.

If it's the arc i'm thinking of Iruru isn't even around that much for it though she's the catalyst. It's one of the worst chapters of anything i've read though and I can't imagine Kyoani adapting it. I'd also say Iruru's gags are basically just Lucoa's so that'd be not super hard to change. She has big breasts and gets naked for jokes about "wow what big breasts". Except she's a teen so it's weirder though she doesn't have strange scenes with a 10 year old at least. There's one other joke that is bad but it only exists for a chapter and later chapters have just removed it.

Are you talking about the chapter where Iruru gives Kobayashi a penis and she spends the whole chapter getting turned on by Kana?

Yeah along with other terrible stuff. That chapter's awful. I highly doubt it would be adapted in a potential season 2. There's enough material there they don't need it and most of it is way more in line with the tone of the show.

I could see KyoAni adapting some of it and then doctoring it up to be less creepy and more funny. At the very least removing or deemphasizing the "getting aroused by Kanna" part. As a note, a similar gag was done in the OVA

I'm not sure that's the best example, the gag in the OVA actually had very little changed from the manga.

Yeah, the show wrapped up its themes pretty nicely and firmly by the time it ended. I don't really know what they would do with a season 2 that wouldn't just be retreading old ground. and I don't get the impression that MaiDragon was popular enough for them to make another season just to milk it.

Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.

I think that this is one of those rare situations where an OVA here and there would be enough to keep it chugging along and interesting. The season had a very satisfying conclusion that I would hate to see go to waste by a new season not building off it.

I kinda liked that the climax of Elma's arc was just her sitting in a coffee shop, reading a book on object-oriented programming so she can do her job better, and going "Huh, I've completely adapted to this world. Oh well :shrug:"

Maybe Elma could date a cafe owner? She visits the same place everyday because how delicious their pastries are and smiles at the owner everytime since she's so happy about eating it. After a while she gets asked out and goes to Kobayashi for advice in a mild state of panic. After being encouraged to give it a shot she goes on a date and the cafe owner brought some of her favorite foods along.
