Man. I had forgotten how kinda ugly the original manga was. It's really impressive how KyoAni's made this show so gorgeous while still being so recognizably the same cast.

Good ep, I thought. Handled some of the skeevier parts of the manga well (Kanna comes off much more as thinking about kissing Saikawa rather than ****ing her, and Lucoa's 'offer' is played off as a joke) and I really liked what they did with Fafnir.

I enjoyed the look into the homelife of a terrible otaku and his mmo addict boyfriend. It was nice.

Visual storytelling there was top-notch - you learn a whole lot about the dynamics of that relationship in like 2-4 minutes.

I mean there's been anime original stuff for most of the characters, so I imagine Elma'd get some too unless she appears super late.

It sounds like she does appear quite late - like episode 8 I think is what people are guessing based off of released episode titles. Still probably some time for some original material though.

So what are the odds that the anime caps off with an extended version of the encounter with Tohru's dad?

That'd be a great capstone. I'm kinda pulling for that.

Let's talk about something better, like whether Fafnir would be a good boyfriend or whether he'd leave his dirty socks out and refuse to cuddle.

Also, FWIW, I've heard a few folks say that translation's bad and the original line was the tongue-cleaning thing Kanna mouthed in the anime.

This doesn't help me at all. They're making out in the Saikawa house while Georgie watches? Or while sharing an umbrella?? a??

Dis is saying that Kanna was trying to make out with Saikawa because she'd walked in on her mommies doing the same at one point and wanted to imitate them.

I want to believe.

Good ep, nice bounceback from a relative downbeat last week. Should certainly promote less Bad KyoAni Discourse, at any rate.

The bit with Tohru flashing back to her parents leaves me with a strong suspicion that we'll be closing on the confrontation with Daddy. Hope I'm right, KyoAni ought to be able to slam dunk on an ending like that.

Elma is extremely good, as was Kobayashi opening up a bit at the end of the episode. Pretty sure that whole spiel was anime-original.

Also I like how completely unshakable Kobayashi's gotten. A dragon from another dimension flattening her living room and declaring a duel with her maid now elicits little more than an irritated sigh.

Apparently the leaked dub for this scene is going to be:
'Your hair is very soft, do boys like the smell of that conditioner?'

This anime is so nice... We only have two episodes left right? I'm gonna miss this warm feeling in my cold dead heart every Wednesday.

Also, I like how Tohru just handwaves the fact that she's a massive villain and so are most of her friends...

I think we have 5 more? Maybe 4? I'm sure I saw that we're getting 12 or 13 episodes.

And I wouldn't really call Tohru a villain. Especially by this late in the series, it's pretty clear that she doesn't look back that fondly on the whole murderous dragon routine (Indeed, she appears actively traumatized by it) and is perfectly content to settle down with Kobayashi. These days her vows of destruction and declarations of humanity's inferiority come off more as posturing.

She needs to keep up appearances so those darn kids stay off her lawn.

Speaking of appearances, I also really like that Kanna's stuff is labelled "Kobayashi Kanna" instead of "Kamui Kanna" even at home where they don't need to keep up appearances. :3:

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.

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.

Fafnir going all only to get shut the gently caress down by Kobayashi was great

I like that she didn't even make it about shouting him down so much as shrugging him off. The episode did a ton of stuff both subtle and obvious to show how much more comfortable Kobayashi and Tohru have become being honest and intimate with each other.

That is easily the best "Kobayashi sleeps on Tohru's tail" fanart I've seen yet.
