Drunk Kobayashi is kinda crazy.

I mean, she saved a dragon's life and invited it to live with her while trashed, so.

I am glad this adaptation is so good.

Also both the op and ed are already some of my favorites of the past few seasons, which is saying a lot.

Her design is horrid, but the things she puts into motion are important. If they can do it without her (making another character do this, making an anime original character, etc.), that'd be good - or as the cap'n says, change her design into something... better? More appropriate?

That's if the even get far enough into the story, which they might not if they do more anime original stuff. I'd be perfectly happy with that too, as this was well-executed stuff.

What are you talking about? My favorite part of the manga was the part where the small child with beachball tits shows up and gives the protagonist a dick and has to struggle with not getting a hard on while being cuddled by her surrogate child.

What I'm saying is the manga took a loving turn and I'd be glad to just pretend none of that happened.

They can leave that part out too, I'm talking more about the whole "humans and dragons can't coexist" thing - seeing as how that plot point seems to be emphasized in the anime, it's a fairly relevant arc to have. They can trigger it with another character, ignore the weird Iruru bits, and end on a very salient "humans and dragons can coexist just fine" note.

I'd argue that that point is being made perfectly well without that character existing at all. Like, we have every episode having moments of 'haha ok I do genuinely enjoy having these dragons around but it's fuckin bonkers that they can blow up mountains and curse humans to death and have to constantly hold that stuff back to live with me'. I haven't read the source material so I don't know about this character but going by your post it sounds like she'd be useful to the story but not really needed at all.

It may be unnecessary in the anime, yeah. The anime emphasises that point much more than the manga does, so I think the manga maybe needed a character (would've been nice to have it not be this terribly designed one) to do that more than the anime does.

Hell, maybe that's why they chose to emphasize it. At any rate, I'm not gonna worry and just enjoy the show because

I love both the OP and EP. I feel like most OPs and EDs (at least for shows I watch) have gotten so good in the past ... year and a half that I cannot skip them. I always used to skip them (except Working!!), but now they're just too cute/good/powerful to skip.

Not only was this adorable the bit in the uniform store where a lesson on how humans often fear and hurt things that are different is given by a woman who at the most conservative reading is still a single maid otaku who's raising a kid that isn't hers with the help of her very odd friends was actually legit sweet.

I love this dumb gay Dragon show. I never heard of the manga before but now I need to get it too.

Eeeeeeh.

As Capt. and Onean said, there are parts that might throw you off. Most of the time it's fine, but sometimes when it's :chloe: it's weird and skippable. Don't go into it expecting the same thing as the show.

It really is the case, and I think "captive market" may be the operative term.

Zoglin may be better poised to explain, but it's a thing. Often, grandparents will buy the backpack for the kid and see it as a way to dote upon them.

(From what I know)

E: You know, I don't even know where I got that from or why I think I know it.

Take it with a grain of salt.

I think in the manga she does say it a bit more ... forcefully than just "but I'm a woman" - I don't quite remember though and I'm not gonna check. It may in fact be "but I'm not into women".

The kyoani anime definitely delves more into the "ladies raising a kid" aspect than the manga, so the funi dubbers may just think they're sticking to source material more.


E: :v:

It's fine to like the manga, it's just weird to use it to change the dialogue. This would be as stupid as dubbing Euphonium to make Kumiko's interactions with Shuichi seem more romantic/downplay Reina.

It's not like I'm saying translators have to be 100% literal, but come on, given that last season we had the whole thing with YoI mistranslating 'partner' as 'girlfriend'. You'd think people would learn to retain necessary ambiguities.
I was trying to get at what the funi dubbers might've thought, not to try and :smuggo: "but the manga says", sorry if I came off like that.

As I said, they're different things with different tones. I like the anime more than the manga, CK's works could generally use a liberal editing and touching up to be really, really good. But funi probably thought it was better to go with what the manga implies. I'm not gonna get up in arms about it :shrug:

Doesn't Lucoa not have a ponytail? Her hair is kinda floofy out of the hat.

I thought it was because Quetzalcoatl was generally depicted as being kinda feathery on the head and without a tail that we usually would think of a dragon as having.
