I'm really pleased with the quality of this show. They could have :effort:-ed their way through adapting what is basically a gag manga and probably still had a decently funny show purely based on the source material. Instead they gave a poo poo and put in a lot of subtle touches (particularly with sound) that really make it stand on its own.

improving on source material is pretty much kyoani's thing, there are very few adaptations from them that aren't a straight improvement on what they're adapting, even if it's pretty good to begin with

Really the only thing bugging me about the line change is that culture is in enough of a precarious position that people are really sensitive to things that can be construed as anti-LGBT in any possible sense. poo poo's kinda touch and go right now and that might explain the reaction.

i mean. it's changing a line from something really innocuous to something that completely changes the context of everything, in a really bad way, that kind of ruins a part of the show people like and lots of lgbt people i've seen connect with. that's why people are mad.

tohru: can you let fafnir stay with you
takiya: sure, neither of us have had any character development after all
tohru: what does that even mean
takiya: it means we're not gay yet

Yet to watch. AmaBri was the B+, Haruhi, K-ON, Both Euphos, Hyouka, and so far all of this are As.

tamako market is the worst yamada show by far so be ready for that. though it's not even, like, super bad, it just has a lot of fluff that unlike k-on isn't really in service to the characters or, really, anything, and it kind of outnumbers the genuinely great moments

the movie makes up for it though

some of the stuff that was weird in the manga was still kinda weird but everything at the end, with tohru and kobayashi cuddling under the umbrella and fafnir thinking on how much he likes takiya, was perfect

it's not a super high profile kyoani show so they probably never expected it to do as well as some of their heavy hitters, anyway

the luccoa stuff is dumb but it was like a combined twenty seconds out of the whole episode and i don't think there's much they could do with her and shouta that i would find as interesting or fun as the rest of the cast so i can't really begin to care

Good dubs are nice sometimes, but they're also extremely thin on the ground. The only ones I can name off the top of my head are the Evangelion Rebuilds and Haruhi dubs, and even in those cases it's kind of undercut by the original VA's being INCREDIBLY good.

ouran high school, cowboy bebop, redline and space dandy are the four really good dubs i can name off the top of my head, and space dandy is kind of a special case

elma's cool but she also busted into tohru's house and tried to fight her for wanting to live in the human world at all, and her deciding to stick around as an office worker and let tohru continue to just do whatever probably isn't what most order dragons would do
