Kanna is based to some degree on the Ainu god Kanna Kamui, who doesn't have a wikipedia article but is mentioned in this one as being the god of thunder and lightning, and in other places as being one of the more powerful figures in Ainu folklore.
The anime is an accurate representation then because Kanna is extremely powerful

edit: I wonder if a lot of anime would seem way more dumb if katakana could transliterate foreign words better

I remember from (i think) an earlier entry on the sakugabooru blog that there were a lot of opening shots that suggested a time of year, does anyone know if the one for this ep is another traditional seasonal thing? It seemed like an intentional layout but i have no idea about japanese traditions.

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

For what it's worth it did kind of strike me as a weird situation. The way kobayashi is generally taciturn made it a little hard to tell whether it was her being used to the cartoonish bizarro dragon stuff or just putting up with it, but i'd hazard a guess that Kyoani is trying to go for the 'oddball people making it together' angle.

As a bonus i think that code in the background window (which i assume makes the effect) looks a lot like Python, which Kobayashi works with.

This shot honestly surprised me because WHO PUTS THIS MUCH DETAIL INTO A FLUFFY DUSTER THINGY. I love how Kyoani doesn't give a gently caress and makes everything detailed.

Also the scene with Fafnir was very sweet.
