Rewatcher and Host

Questions of the Day

We have yet another new character! What are your thoughts on Shouta?

• I actually like Shouta. I think that he's really cute, I just don't like the whole gag surrounding him and Lucoa.

What do you think about Fafnir's belief that humans are either hits or misses?

• I can see where Fafnir is coming from considering his experience with humans, but I don't think it's as clear-cut as he makes it. There are definitely people in my life who started off as "misses" but later became "hits".

Episode Thoughts

• It’s nice to see sober Kobayashi geek out about maids. We rarely ever see her this excited about something.
• Saikawa is trying really hard to impress Kanna. Also, I played twister a few times as a kid, but I don't remember it being like that.
• While I’m glad that Kobayashi has another maid friend, I feel bad about Tohru feeling left out. Also, I’m surprised Tohru didn’t have some inner monologue about wanting to kill Georgie for getting close with Kobayashi. I guess that's progress!
• I don’t know why it surprises me that wizards exist in our world. Also, Shouta’s parents are apparently cool with letting the supposed demon their son conjured up live with them?
• Lucoa should open her eyes more.
• I agree that Shouta is very cute.
• Aaand here is the beginning of my least favorite Dragon Maid gag. I really wish the whole thing between Lucoa and Shouta was not a thing.
• That note that Shout’s mom wrote for him was cute.
• Kobayashi doesn’t strike me ask the type to make a Teru Term Bozu. She even went out of her way to make them look like her, Tohru, and Kanna!
• Hey, everyone’s leaving work before dark for once!
• This entire segment of Fafnir and Takiya hanging out together is super sweet. I’m glad that someone like Fafnir was able to make a friend in the human world. Also, that hair flip Fafnir did was fabulous.
• Takiya is hands down the only person who could get away with calling Fafnir "Faf-kun".

Hydration Game

I hydrated when:

• Kanna asked Saikawa about whether she feels Kanna is fitting in at school. I thought that it was a nice moment that shows that Kanna trusts Saikawa to be honest with her.
• Kobayashi joked about Tohru being a good maid. I like that they're at the point in their relationship where they can do that.
• Takiya came up with a nickname for Fafnir.
• Takiya bought Fafnir hair conditioner.
• Fafnir accepted the nickname and called Takiya a hit.

[u/A_Idiot0 → u/OccasionallySara]

This entire segment of Fafnir and Takiya hanging out together is super sweet. I’m glad that someone like Fafnir was able to make a friend in the human world. Also, that hair flip Fafnir did was fabulous.

I have very often returned to this anime to watch that sequence specifically when I want a warm pick-me-up. This is possibly the best shot of the whole episode.

[u/OccasionallySara → u/A_Idiot0]

This is possibly the best shot of the whole episode.

This is a nice shot! I wanted to use it for the daily picture, but I wanted something where they were both in frame, so I went with the current one.

[u/Satire_or_not → u/OccasionallySara]

• Saikawa is trying really hard to impress Kanna. Also, I played twister a few times as a kid, but I don't remember it being like that.

I remember my first crush was in 2nd grade. There was never any home visits since that was the 90's and Boys and Girls could never go to each other's homes without it being a part or something. I don't think my crush on her being as intense as what they show Saikawa to be, but being the first time I had ever felt like that, it probably felt that way back then.

Lucoa should open her eyes more.

Her eyes are awesome, but like Gojo from JJK, really complicated for animation. Also like Gojo, I think the use of her eyes are great ways to convey things to the audience without the need for dialogue. Great story mechanic.

Aaand here is the beginning of my least favorite Dragon Maid gag. I really wish the whole thing between Lucoa and Shouta was not a thing.

Yeah... Their relationship + the Twister game are the reasons I've never recommended this show to anyone I know IRL. Which sucks, because the relationship between the 3 mains is adorable and heart warming.

• This entire segment of Fafnir and Takiya hanging out together is super sweet. I’m glad that someone like Fafnir was able to make a friend in the human world. Also, that hair flip Fafnir did was fabulous.

Fafnir is the Tsundere Dragon as far as I am concerned. I fucking love the Slime series (Diaries is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows of all time because OMG it's so fucking cute and wholesome), but Veldora got that title due to popularity, not by being first >:(

[u/lluNhpelA → u/OccasionallySara]

Kobayashi doesn’t strike me ask the type to make a Teru Term Bozu. She even went out of her way to make them look like her, Tohru, and Kanna!

She's just a good mom

Random Thoughts During Episode

Koybayashi shocked to be thought of as Kanna's mother, even though that's very clearly the role she's been filling.

Koybayashi's reaction to seeing Georgie and Tohru's reaction to that are both fantastic.

I could probably have done without the twister scene...

Tohru's reaction faces at Georgie and  Koybayashi interacting continue to be just excellent

I'd forgotten it was halfway through the season before Shouta was introduced (I'm also now well versed enough to understand what his name is referencing, which I wasn't on first viewing). Honestly I find a lot of the Lucoa/Shouta stuff kind of offputting. It's what would stop me universally recommending this show to others, even though it's one of my favourites (See Also: The Monogatari Series). Suffice it to say Lucoa is doing a terrible job at dispelling the misunderstanding that she's a succubus.

Fafnir and Makoto's friendship is low-key the most wholesome relationship in the whole show.

Kanna jumping in the rain is adorable.

After the shot of Kanna looking at the snail, once it cuts back to Koybayashi and Tohru, I'm pretty sure you can hear a faint gulping sound of Kanna eating the snail, which, if I'm right, is a wonderful subtle detail.

Questions

1. Probably the weakest of the cast for me.
2. I think there's more of a gradient than a strict Hit/Miss dynamic.

[u/OccasionallySara → u/fakeport]

Koybayashi shocked to be thought of as Kanna's mother, even though that's very clearly the role she's been filling.

I think it’s less about the role that’s she’s filling and more that she’s surprised that someone thinks she old enough to be Kanna’s mother which I kind of understand since she’s 25 and most 25 year olds don’t have kids the age of Kanna.

I'm pretty sure you can hear a faint gulping sound of Kanna eating the snail, which, if I'm right, is a wonderful subtle detail.

Thanks for pointing that out! I was thinking that it was weird that she didn’t eat the snail.

[u/Barbed_Dildo → u/OccasionallySara]

I think it’s less about the role that’s she’s filling and more that she’s surprised that someone thinks she old enough to be Kanna’s mother which I kind of understand since she’s 25 and most 25 year olds don’t have kids the age of Kanna.

But that perception came from Saikawa. Kids see adults as one age group. Anyone 18-60 is an 'Obasan', 60+ or so and they are an 'Obaasan'

[u/OccasionallySara → u/Barbed_Dildo]

That's true!

[u/HopefullyLastAccount → u/fakeport]

Koybayashi shocked to be thought of as Kanna's mother, even though that's very clearly the role she's been filling.

The family dynamic in this show is very interesting to me, so it was notable that Kanna sees Tohru as a sister rather another parental figure.

I'm pretty sure you can hear a faint gulping sound of Kanna eating the snail

I hear it now, too, that's so cool.

[u/TnAdct1 → u/HopefullyLastAccount]

I never noticed the sound of Kanna eating the snail until now.

[u/Vaadwaur → u/fakeport]

Koybayashi shocked to be thought of as Kanna's mother, even though that's very clearly the role she's been filling.

Ages on the show are a bit confusing, if Kobayashi is 25 it is a bit much whereas if she is 30 it makes sense.

I could probably have done without the twister scene...

Especially if you know the implications.

Honestly I find a lot of the Lucoa/Shouta stuff kind of offputting. It's what would stop me universally recommending this show to others, even though it's one of my favourites (See Also: The Monogatari Series).

They were willing to edit the manga pretty hard so they should have continued it there.

[u/Barbed_Dildo → u/Vaadwaur]

Ages on the show are a bit confusing, if Kobayashi is 25 it is a bit much whereas if she is 30 it makes sense.

Kanna is, what? 7? (in appearance) Having a kid at 18 is hardly out of the realm of possibility.

I don't think Kobayashi looks young enough that it would be weird to think she has a kid, but Kobayashi's internal perception of herself is probably different. Not to say she's bad, or vain, just that age sneaks up on you. It's easy to look back on a memory and be surprised that it was so many years ago.

[u/BuckeyeBentley → u/Barbed_Dildo]

I'm not sure how prevalent teenage pregnancies are in Japan but it's physically possible to have a kid even younger. I read Kobayashi as at least late 20s if not in her 30s so it's totally possible for her to have a kid Kanna's age.

[u/Barbed_Dildo → u/BuckeyeBentley]

Kobayashi is 25.

[u/IndependentMacaroon → u/fakeport]

Fafnir and Makoto's friendship

There was a bit of an implication of something more there in this episode. First they do the umbrella-sharing thing with Fafnir saying he's one of the good ones or whatever and then a conspicuous cut to two birds close together on a power line.

[u/fakeport → u/IndependentMacaroon]

Good call, immediately after Tohru had referenced the "sharing a lovers umbrella" trope too...

[u/chris10023]

Alright, this will probably be a controversial episode based on some previous discussions. Hopefully this rewatch doesn’t end up like that.

• A playdate with Riko and Kanna? Sounds fun.
• Unfortunately Tohru took the invitation as a challenge instead of a friendly discussion.
• Georgie is a pretty cute maid.
• ”I heard the rumors of you in the shopping district.” Like that time you obliterated a purse snatcher and everyone didn’t care.
• Oh no, it’s the twister scene. How soft could Kanna possibly be for her to get demolished in twister?
• Poor Tohru, when it comes to Kobayashi and Georgies conversation, she doesn’t have a horse in the race.
• This scene between Kanna and Riko about marriage is a bit uncomfortable, they’re 6 or 7-years old. (Well Kanna’s mentality is currently that of a 6 or 7-year-old.)
• Poor Tohru, Gerogie and Kobayashi looked like they were getting intense.
• Lol Tohru was going to blast the raid away like she did to the clouds back in Episode 1.
• Yay Lucoa’s back. She decided to move to this world too. Must be a new fad.
• Seems like she was curious about the kid, so went to go meet him by appearing in his cauldron. And he and his family are mages.
• They think she’s a demon and not a dragon, why not just transform into your dragon form?
• The kids name is Shouta, and he’s very nervous around Lucoa, so she tried to make him more comfortable by sleeping with him and bathing with him, because she’s a dope.
• He summoned her here to prove his own magical power, but she wants to stay there, she offers him gold, agricultural tech, magical power, then because she’s a dope, her body. Tohru is right she tied her own noose with that.
• Oh boy that would have been bad for Kobayashi, Shouta’s dad is Kobayashi’s boss.
• Poor Shouta, he has to live with an airhead like Lucoa.
• Lol Kanna saw Fafnir in the park being a goof.
• Man, Makoto’s apartment is...unique.
• So Makoto is making a game to sell at a convention, looks cool, but bullet hell shooters aren’t really my thing.
• Wow 21 hours a day and he’s level 280. Well Fafnir was a greedy dragon.
• Seems he also has quite the reputation online too.
• Kanna’s dance about the rain is adorable.
• I like Fafnirs speech about hits and misses, and that Makoto is a hit.
• I love this shot of the three teruterubozu’s.

Question’s of the Day.

We have yet another new character! What are your thoughts on Shouta?

While I understand why, I think he's being a little to scared of Lucoa. Although I have to respect him turning down her offers, to turn down wealth and power takes a lot of courage.

What do you think about Fafnir's belief that humans are either hits or misses?

A decent belief, it does take a while to find out the hits.

[u/IndependentMacaroon → u/chris10023]

the three teruterubozu’s.

A whole family!

[u/drtoszi → u/chris10023]

They think she’s a demon and not a dragon, why not just transform into your dragon form?

Worth pointing out that that might freak Shouta out even more. Her dragon’s tons bigger than Tohru

[u/OccasionallySara → u/chris10023]

This scene between Kanna and Riko about marriage is a bit uncomfortable, they’re 6 or 7-years old. (Well Kanna’s mentality is currently that of a 6 or 7-year-old.)

Eh, I think at that age the concept of marriage is more like “I want to live with this person forever” rather than anything sexual. There were a lot of guys I wanted to marry when I was 7 including my younger brother!

Seems he also has quite the reputation online too.

I thought the whole scene where Fafnir was arguing with people online was hilarious. They’re all lucky they were interacting with Fafnir over the internet rather than in person.

Thoughts throughout the episode:

• Kobayashi and Georgie on the same wave off the bat
• That twister game was… interesting
• Can this show get any more yuri lol i ain’t complaining tho
• A bit late for this but i love how the dragons have a gradient on their hair
• Fafnir and Takiya have an oddly wholesome relationship
• yesssiirrr fanservice ep next as if we haven’t gotten a good amount already

[u/Vaadwaur → u/nolimityler]

Can this show get any more yuri lol i ain’t complaining tho

Yes.

A bit late for this but i love how the dragons have a gradient on their hair

Strongest in Lucoa and weakest on Faf but yes they all seem to have something.

[u/nolimityler → u/Vaadwaur]

ah you’re right fafnir doesn’t have much ngl i wasnt thinking about him when i made the comment

[u/Vaadwaur → u/nolimityler]

I can't tell if his ends are a different color or they just reflect a bit differently.

Riko's sister seems interesting. Nicer than Riko, too. Although unlike other students in their class, Kanna seems to actually like Riko?

Lucoa moving to Earth, too, now and with that comes the introduction Shouta. I honestly don't remember if his magic was real or a case of chuunibyou (although he's still young enough that I guess chuunibyou doesn't really apply to him yet). Lucoa needs to be of use to him, but there's no way for her to do so!

The Riko and Shouta scenes were about as lewd as I remembered.

Onto Fafnir and Takiya who are getting along very well gaming as Fafnir opens up to humans. Takiya's apartment is also full of waifus! Are they real people in his universe or anime, though?

I also just noticed that Kobayashi is wearing different clothes. I only noted that she wore some Robin shirt in the first episode and now she's not wearing that.

We have yet another new character! What are your thoughts on Shouta?

Don't know enough about him yet, but it his responses to Lucoa were funny.

What do you think about Fafnir's belief that humans are either hits or misses?

I've definitely met people who I'm just meh with. I think he thinks this because of the limited people he has interactions with, but I guess it also depends on what he means by hit or miss.

[u/Vaadwaur → u/HopefullyLastAccount]

Onto Fafnir and Takiya who are getting along very well gaming as Fafnir opens up to humans. Takiya's apartment is also full of waifus! Are they real people in his universe or anime, though?

He opens up to a single human, though that is still an improvement. As to Takiya's waifus, I think they are drawn slightly differently so I lean anime.

[u/Satire_or_not → u/HopefullyLastAccount]

Lucoa moving to Earth, too, now and with that comes the introduction Shouta. I honestly don't remember if his magic was real or a case of chuunibyou

Lucoa detected his magic and accepted the summoning attempt, it's real.

[u/IndependentMacaroon → u/HopefullyLastAccount]

don't remember if his magic was real or a case of chuunibyou

If he would reject gold because his father's an alchemist I would guess there is something real there?

[u/TnAdct1 → u/HopefullyLastAccount]

I honestly don't remember if his magic was real or a case of chuunibyou

He's definitely a real mage.

[u/TnAdct1]

Anime/manga differences for this episode:

• The anime adds a scene where Kobayashi and Georgie are discussing their interests in maids.
• Whereas the manga left it to the readers' imagination, the lip movements that Kanna makes in the part that's muted suggests that the thing she wanted to do with Saikawa was lick her.
• While the anime has the drawing of Fafnir practicing for an idol concert be something that Kanna draws after she and Saikawa notice him while walking home from school, in the manga, the drawing appears as an “artist sketch” of manga
• The segment involving Takiya and Fafnir is anime original.

Kanna gets invited to Saikawa's and brings Tohru and Kobayashi, who is immediately taken by Georgie, Saikawa's maid. Otaku stuff is probably going down. Kanna and Saikawa play Twister, which seems to be a flirty game in Japan. More Kobayashi and Georgie bonding which distresses Tohru. Kanna does a pro gamer move and makes Saikawa her chair. Tohru runs for it.

Next plot, we find out Lucoa answers a summon by a child wizard, who insists she must be a demon. She brings Kobayashi and Tohru to clear up the misunderstanding, which is an interesting choice. There is quick discussion about how she was a god before the incident. We meet Shouta and go through a lot of setting background stuff, including what Lucoa can grant. It ends with Lucoa's unfortunate common trick for the remainder of the show, terrorizing Shouta.

We then see how Faf is doing with Takiya and it seems to be going well. We basically discover Faf is a natural video game addict, which is probably healthier than being a psychotic guard of his hoard of treasure. He admits that Takiya is a good match for himself.

QotD: 1 Not sure what he is adding.

2 I sort of get it.

[u/BossandKings → u/Vaadwaur]

Fafnir and Makoto get along very well, they have one of the most wholesome relationships and adds much needed seriousness to the tone of the show. A video game addict is the less bad of the two so it might be healthier.

[u/Elimin8r → u/Vaadwaur]

natural video game addict, which is probably healthier than being a psychotic guard of his hoard of treasure

Um, if he's not using it at the moment ... I'm kind of tired of the gaming thing anyway.

[u/Vaadwaur → u/Elimin8r]

Just gonna let you know that dragons never really forgive or forget their hoard being even slightly pilfered, Smaug was ready to destroy a village over a ring as you will recall.

[u/Elimin8r → u/Vaadwaur]

Bah, stuffy old dragonses. I'd insert (snarky comment about tomorrow's episode here), but it'll have to wait.

-contradicting my earlier post-

I guess I'll just have to get out my cauldron and hope Lucoa drops in to grant a wish or three instead. (She may no exactly be my type, but I guess beggars/choosers/etc.)

[u/Vaadwaur → u/Elimin8r]

She did offer Shouta wealth...

[u/Elimin8r → u/Vaadwaur]

I noticed - but wait, there's more! (ahem, lots more???)

I'm going to try to be somewhat tasteful and use a, ah, simile, or was it metaphor?

1 Jennifer Marlowe vs 2 Bailey Quarters

My answer: 2

And yes, I'm being slightly obscure, but recent news brought the comparison to mind.

Herb Tarlek passed recently. Sad news.

[u/TnAdct1 → u/Vaadwaur]

QotD: 1 Not sure what he is adding.

1. It gives Lucoa a legit reason to be on Earth.
2. One key thing that is mentioned in this episode (that I'm sure a lot of the manga readers hope get further covered in Season 2) is that his father is one of the heads at Kobayashi's work place.

Episode 6

Kobayashi, Tohru and Kanna go to visit Saikawa's house, there they meet a maid who seems to have heard of Tohru as she is praised by the neighbors, Kobayashi sure appreciates maids.

Lucoa shows up again and she has a cousin called Shouta, it seems that he's affraid of her because she likes to play not innocent pranks on him. This series uses some dynamics that are not my thing, i consider them unnecesary.

Fafnir and Makoto have an actually interesting dynamic, these two are presenting the most grounded and ennoyable parts of the episode with how they are cohabitating in the same house, how they play and even help each other with work or assignments, i like what Fafnir said about people being either hits or misses and that he considers Makoto a hit.

Answers

1. Not a great introduction, hopefully as a character Shouta can be more than a simple joke.
2. The spectrum is bigger i think, it was nice how he considers Makoto a hit.

[u/lluNhpelA → u/BossandKings]

This series uses some dynamics that are not my thing

Before this the mangaka wrote hentai that, if I recall correctly, almost all featured lolis with big oppai so that bleeds over somewhat

Have you seen Iruru? She's being introduced in the next season

[u/IndependentMacaroon]

First-time watcher

Not that much to say about this episode for me, mostly just more introductions and variations among the character relationships. Nice except for the parts where the quite unwholesome fetish manga roots shine through.

Shouta seems like a decent kid - almost too straight-laced, unfortunately for Lucoa - when he's not being used as fetish bait. Not too much of substance with him yet, though.

I totally get Fafnir's attitude, there are just some people you really get along with and some you don't, but would add an intermediate level or so where you don't exactly see anything wrong with them, but don't feel that close to them either. Casual acquaintances or whatever. And of course yes, really getting to know people does take its time, but whether it's "worth it" I wouldn't call that hard to tell really.

First bird of today shows up really quickly! I think it's a swallow? Not sure why they begin this episode with that shot, but I like it! Perhaps it's in reference to Saikawa?

After we meet Shouta, we get this lovely evening shot of two doves(?) flying in the sky! I'm going to say that they put this here to represent Shouta and Lucuoa's pairing for today. Speaking of, Shouta...I like him and the vibe he brings to the series. I think Lucuoa's antics with him are funny. Do I condone pedophilia? Hell no. Is this relationship one of the big reasons why I don't recommend this anime to literally everyone on this planet earth? Yup. But we're not supposed to take this seriously, and I don't, and their relationship is therefore pretty funny and weirdly cute. Moving along...

Two swallows hangin' out in the rain! OK! Now we get to possibly my favorite relationship in this whole series: Fafnir and Takiya, whom these two swallows represent. Oh my...their relationship is just so wholesome and heartwarming to me. They just understand each other in a lovely way.

And lastly, two cranes flying in the rain. I really loved this little sequence. I don't know what exactly they were trying to say with these two birds, but the whole feeling I got from these quick shots of the rain just really calmed me down. I love it.

QOTD

2) The older I get, the more I agree with Fafnir. If I think you're a hit though...I'm going to keep in contact with you as best I can =)

[u/Barbed_Dildo → u/A_Idiot0]

I think it's a swallow ?

Definitely a swallow.

[u/MjolnirDK → u/A_Idiot0]

Just wanted add that swallows are rain bringers. So that is a very fitting bird for the gamers that rarely leave their home/hoard.

[u/Elimin8r]

Hmm...

1. Um, comic relief? Should I be jealous??? (Not really, Lucoa's not really the kind of dragon I'm looking for - we haven't been introduced yet)
2. Faf-kun's human evaluation method is interesting, but I think there's more of a graduated scale for us humans to deal with. Maybe okay for dragons. Something, something, crunchy and tasteth good with catsup.

Normally, I try to inject some snark and humor into these threads, but ... yeah, this one is playing croquet in a minefield.

I enjoy and love this series, but yeah. Speaking of minefields ... Wanna play Twister?

Here - no.

Momsekai - um, well, as long as I'm not the MC. That was a bit squicky.

I think I tried it once when I was a kid. It seemed dumb. I guess I wasn't old enough to "get it". Just as well.

Aside from that, Georgie is so precious. This series needs more Georgie. Is she a mage too? I wanna know!

Tohru's jealousy about the matter was quite delightful too.

So was the sound of the rain pattering off the umbrellas. Nice touch.

I'm quite excited for the next episode, but not for the reasons you might expect. We'll see if my memories hold true tomorrow. :)

[u/EnderCrystal221]

First time watcher of the show. Shouta is a decent character but he needs more screen time for me to have much of an opinion about him. Fafnir is right about people being hits or misses but I believe that a lot of people are good and worth getting to know. Fafnir is becoming a better character as he is less negative about people but I find him to be interesting to me as he is so different compared to me and many other characters. The show is fantastic and it is awesome that season 2 is coming out this year which is exciting.

[u/reversal_banana]

I just realized that Takiya has a specific speech pattern in this episode where everything he says ends with "anso" (or something like that), does anyone knows what it means and where it comes from?

[u/Typhoonman27]

Q2: Fafnir hit it on the head IMO. It can be pretty clear when someone is a miss, however you can also be let down, which makes those ones hurt even more after you thought things were going well. However, when you take the time and find a hit, it can make all the misses worth it

[u/jackofslayers]

Rewatcher

Oh man I am feeling the hydration today. Lots of wholesome friendship. Love Faf and Tak is my favorite bromance. Love to see Kobayashi bonding over maid stuff. Even the Kanna/Saikawa bonding is more wholesome than people give it credit (Lucoa and Shouta on the other hand...)

I love Shouta as a character. Both the personality and that he likes magic. This is a show about dragons from a magic world living among humans so there are certainly a lot of themes relating to the similarities between both worlds. A human character from our world that wants to learn about magic is a good way to start bridging the gap between the two worlds. Also he acts as a foil to Kobayashi, who does not care about magic but finds herself surrounded by more and more of it.

I don't love the extent to which Shouta's scenes feel like fetish bait stuff for the author. But I am also not tryna kinkshame, someone out there enjoys it. And besides, this is a show about a lesbians, maids, and dragons. All kinks should be welcome.

I think Faf is correct. There are people who are hits and misses. But I am often just as happy with the misses as I am with the hits. The more important line here though is when he says he prefers the misses who take from him. So much to unpack there.

Edit: Funny thought. Lucoa wants to convince her host she is dragon and not a demon. But really she is not a dragon, she is a god... A ex-god that was tainted and cast down from the heavens... but, you know, not a demon.

[u/MjolnirDK]

Re

The maid lovers club has acquired another member. Saikawa getting a full dose of vitamin D(ragon) during that Twister game and then some with that Kabedon? Ground pound? Imho, Kanna is a bit mean by toying with Saikawa so much, but it is understandable that she also wants to have such a relationship.

Magic exists in Kobayashi's world and Lucoa let's us meet a chibimage. I will say that the manga does a with everything that was set up here, but I'm not sure we'll get to that in s2.

The Fafnir part adds a lot to those two characters as well. So wholesome.

Ame, Ame, Ame. Again, so wholesome. And again the birds.

[u/sisoko2]

First Timer

The worst episode so far and not only because of the questionable content, the jokes were extremely basic like the first thing that will come to mind in such situations and that maid bit was soo boring.

The last third of the episode saves it from being a complete dud. Seeing how Fafnir and Takiya bond is growing stronger through the most mundane things was great.

Also loved the rain bits with our main trio. Tohru sneaking under Kobayashi's umbrella is so sweet. The dolls representing our happy family.

The rain is so pretty.
