seriously I danced around it before but now with this dumb poo poo there's no way to pretend there weren't heavy undertones of 'get it, girl who's super into me and I keep being awkward and standoffish with? Society tends to grind down people who are too different or odd, so it's very hard to be 'special' sometimes'. I don't know if this was in the manga or not but the sub is at least very much leaning to 'Kobayashi is probably in the closet'.

kobayashi reads as a trans man (and you know, in the closet) to me, but same deal

this episode furthers proves that everyone is gay for dragons and the corollary: nobody is straight for dragons

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.

This was undermined for me at the end b/c tohru nearly killing kobayashi (who has to duck in fear out of the way) and then kobayashi feeling compelled to reinforce to tohru that she does love her

that was problematic to me for personal reasons and it was the first time i didn't finish an episode going :3: but fortunately most people didn't read it the same way

I don't get how people are getting abusive out of the scene either. Kobayashi never explained that Elma was working at her office, which is why they spent time together. Tohru has been pretty consistently insecure when it comes to Kobayashi and it makes sense for her to panic if she thinks another dragon is somehow stealing her away.

Unlike previous scenes kobayashi ducks in apparent fear and the power imbalance between a dragon and human embodied in a destructobeam creates a metaphor for say, perhaps, a gun

I'm glad most people didn't read the scene that way

Kobayashi's willingness to suffer to allow her baby to continue believing in Santa Claus is Maximum :3:

kanna's dragon upbringing means she has to catch up on a lot of practice at the little lies so she can believe in the big ones

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

On the other hand otaku face set up the moment this episode where takiya is honestly and genuinely happy without hiding behind the mask and that was adorable
