I'm sanctioning and legitimizing this thread.

A lot more optimistic about the show after today's episode.

Yeah, I was kinda put off by the first episode. Especially the scene where Kobayashi stripped Tooru in public and screamed at her to be more embarrassed. But this episode won me back

I guess the translator decided to make Maidragon into a story about a straight woman getting turned gay?

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is the latest Kyoani show. It's based off of a cute gag manga about three friends. To save money, they all live together in one apartment.

They are good friends, and it's super, super charming. :3:

With the dub stuff, unfortunately the area the dub was made in could have a slight effect on that. Texas, as everyone knows, is the epicenter of fair portrayal of gay characters. But I've always believed that, if you are going to enter a media or production focused job, you should at the very least take some base level media training so that you don't make your company look bad when you respond to fans.

Funimation is in DFW, not Cut and Shoot.

If Kobayashi says "You know I'm a woman, right" and Tohru keeps throwing herself at her, that means Tohru doesn't care that Kobayashi is a woman.

If Kobayashi says "I'm not into women" and Tohru keeps throwing herself at her, that means Tohru doesn't care what Kobayashi wants.

It's kind of amazing how much changing that single line completely fucks up the characters.

Oh poo poo, the script for the dub of that scene leaked!

quote:

Tohru: Actually, would you let Mr Fafnir stay with you for awhile
Takiya: Mr. Fafnir, huh?
Tohru: right
Takiya: Sure thing!
Tohru: Huh? Are you sure?
Takiya: It's fine, as neither of us are homosexuals.

The Saikawa and Lucoa stuff is the worst and only Fafnir saved this episode

I wish they had left out the line where Lucoa offered the kid her body. Without that line, the joke is that Lucoa is just super oblivious about the effect she's having. With that line, the whole thing is kinda uncomfortable

The Lucoa plotline definitely seems like it doesn't fit in the show. Fafnir, he moves in with the guy, next time we see them we see how they live and get the confession and everything. Lucoa, she moves in with Shota, and every time after that, it's just boobs. All the other characters have stories about how they're getting something they need from these relationships, and it seemed like they were setting it up with Lucoa, when Shota said he didn't need her magic or boobs, it's like, OK, she's going to discover what she can offer another person emotionally, that's gonna be her story. But instead, all we get is boobs.

It's a reference to a kind of hosed up idea of love/obsession where I think the highest way of "connecting" with someone is them eating you. Which might say something about Dragon culture or maybe she's a huge nerd for praying mantis?

But it being poisonous still makes it a little confusing though.

There's an urban legend in Japan about girls putting their own blood into the Valentines chocolates they give to boys they like, I think it's a play on that.

I mostly liked that Takiya finally got to have a scene with Fafnir without having to wear his dumb Otaku Face.

Yeah, i wish they didn't do the Otaku Face. Apparently a lot of the Takiya/Fafnir stuff is anime-original, so doing the otaku face in the manga where Takiya gets less development and screen time makes sense. Bu they should've dropped it for the anime

I can only picture the writer as Planet of the Apes/Soylent Green era Charlton Heston, manically running around the cafe, grabbing people by the shoulders. Screaming "Don't you understand? Don't you see it? It's a boob anime! Maidragon is full of boobs!" into their blank, uncomprehending faces.
