From what I remember reading the manga this sword was cursed to kill anyone who touches it but Kobayashi was way too drunk to care

Kobayashi is a very powerful drunk

They're doing it wrong. You're both supposed to go sword-and-board, not.one dual-swording and one dual-shielding.

Those are clearly punch daggers or spears by the way Kanna is holding them :colbert:

Her body isn't even that tall. I mean her waist is level with Kobayashi's shoulders and she's about one head taller. The strange thing is how long Kanna's legs are.

And how thicc her thighs are.

she's not calling kobayashi a cuck (or anything) with that word, she's just saying the word for that situation of having a spouse/lover stolen (basically saying "you seduced her. with your body. it's NTR. you lecherous four-eyes!")

except the word in question comes from the name of that type of porn, which is the joke, because cool kyoushinsha is a pervert

so if your goal is to stay true to the "joke" of having her say a porn word, some variation on cuckold is probably better

i wish i could rewind to before i put any thought into this :cripes:

"Homewrecker" or "hussie" might've been better choices than "cuck"

yea it seems like it's the typical 'chaos can also mean overthrowing a cruel tyrant, order can also mean oppressing people's freedom and individuality' thing, so you wind up with Fafnir and his 'murder every human they all suck curse them all' and Sweet Gay Tohru probably just wanting to gently caress off and be left alone on the same side.

I think the Order/Chaos thing is probably a delineation given by the Gods and Humans. Chaos dragons basically hate or don't care about humans while Order dragons do. Tohru belonged to a family of Chaos dragons and probably killed a few while fending them off.

Iruru has some interesting moments. Unlike the other chorogons she's completely unable to adapt to Earthly life. Even her human-form is grotesque, she's barely able to give herself working hands.
KyoAni could probably make her struggle to adapt into something heartwarming. As long as they skip a few chapters.

I can unironically trust KyoAni to take a character like Iruru and not make her terrible. The latest translated chapter basically makes her like Kanna's sister which is adorable in its own right.

We probably wont get an S2 for a while since I think this is a monthly series and Cool does at least three series at a time I think (I don't actually know). I guess the best we can hope for is an OVA or something.

God drat that was a good ending. I'm joining the "doesn't need a second season" camp because they ended it on a pretty perfect note and I don't think they could really add more to it unless they got really creative and didn't actually focus on Kobayashi and Tohru.

I think it really depends on the material in the manga as to what sort of shape a second season would look like. It could and probably should continue to focus on Kobayashi and Tohru, but instead of them as individuals, them as a couple and their (slightly strange) family. The fact that they adopt another dragon would make the theme of family a likelier possibility.

Edit: A spin-off manga focusing on Kanna apparently started at the end of December.

Imagine a montage of Kobayashi growing old with an eternally young Tohru at her side as Queen's "Who wants to live forever?" plays.

I feel like that, with all of that magical power there has to be at least one dragon that would know how to keep a human alive (and possibly eternally young) forever.

That was incredibly sweet and had surprisingly smart and real moments for a goofy fantasy spoof slapstick show and i'm genuinely sad it's over

though some uncomfortably creepy overtones for the young dragon kid / boy wizard stuff meshed incredibly poorly with the wholesome tone of the rest of the show and mean i'll probably never actually recommend it to anyone, ever

which is just a goddamn bummer, cause i really wish i could

It's from the original and the tone of the show was barely wholesome. At least not completely.

It's initially a little creepy, but then it's largely played off for laughs like any sort of bawdy humor.

It's something that could have been easily obscured, but it's not that bad. You've seen worse on TV. It's just a sick Kobayashi topless and without pants. There's nothing actually sexual happening.

Maybe if you have HBO or Starz, but yeah, it's just Kobayashi's exposed chest (actually only half of it) and her bottom half in underwear. It does mention a Potion of Immortality, but Tohru mentions that Kobayashi wouldn't take it.

Kobayashi tsurupettan

Though it was weird to see her doubting Tohru's cooking after all the development she had in the show.

It's rice porridge with banana, soft udon, what might be jelly or tofu and some other thing. That should give anyone pause no matter who made it (except for maybe someone from Shokugeki no Souma).

I'd also recommend Devil is a Part-Timer. It's a funny show about idiots from a fantasy world trying to make it in our world. It's another show where you really get to like the characters by the end.

In the cheapest case, they'll just have the VAs do the OP/ED with back up accompaniment. Depending on the series, it can be much more profitable than asking a pre-existing music group.

She's a programmer that routinely does massive overtime, plus Tokyo is relatively affordable for a major city. Her living situation's pretty reasonable.

edit: I just realized, we live in times where "raking it in" means "modestly supporting a family of 3". That's dire.

The massive overtime may possibly be unpaid as part of typical Japanese salaryman expectations, but she still probably makes a decent enough living.

I've been catching up on the manga and they actually made Iruru into a decent character, I'm surprised. Still a walking bundle of NWS, but the candy shop job thing and her reasons for taking it were good. Her character design's still problematic at best, but at least the author's done some good with writing for her if she's going to be sticking around.

I think her height changed a little to adjust her intended appearance of a teenager. I vaguely recall her originally appearing not too much larger than Kanna. I might be remembering wrong though.

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

Cool's not afraid of lewd stuff, but it's all sorta couched in the tones typical of 4koma. I do hope more of his stuff is animated though.
