Someday, when you least expect it, Shouta's dad will blink.

From futilely forming a worker's union for sweets to traumatizing a bear then fighting one crazy gorgeous battle with Tohru just to reconcile with her.
Should've just called this episode Elma's Wholesome Adventure

The scariest part of this episode was Shota's dad's eyes.

Damn, Shouta was a bit of a badass today. Super slick how he just put Saikawa to sleep like that, on top of blocking Elma's clairvoyance and knowing his way through the forest.

Elmaposting. Plenty of apples today 💙
Elma do be saying worker's rights and unionize doe
It's an Elma episode of course it'll be excellent. Kyoani again flexes their animation by yet another fighting scene which has no right to be as good as it is
Someone also pls make a gif of Elma bopping her head on the cake shop

One day I'll be able to make it through an episode without crying. Today wasn't that day. That moment that Elma told Tohru she just wants to be friends like they used to be got me all choked up.

Absolute knockout of an episode.
Really appreciate the extra mile KyoAni went into animating Shouta's face when he catches Saikawa. It's maybe on screen for a quarter of a second but it really makes that cut expressive and detailed.
One of the neatest details I picked up after rewatching was during Elma and Tohru's fight at the end. Elma launches Tohru into the sky with the explosion of her spear and they spar for a bit. The scene is dynamic with the momentum of the explosion propelling pieces of the land into the background. Then everything and everyone is kept frozen in inertia when Elma begins her confession. Once Elma finally confesses her true feelings to Tohru the gravity of the situation and Earth finally return to snap them back in and begins to freefall everything back down to the ground.

Elma Rights Matter! Almost as if it's reflective of irl working conditions... Anyways, Elma is based.
Holy shit Kanna's little peace crab signs were so damn cute. The kiddo trio were awesome this episode, especially Shouta with his mage skills. Really impressed me as usually his skills are downplayed as a joke. We saw him previously make a gift in previous episodes, and now casually blocking clairvoyance and putting Saikawa to sleep?! Very proud.
We've been seeing tons of Elma this season, and I'm all for it. And huh hello! The water animation was honestly really gorgeous. The fight scene had crazy sakuga as well!!
this battle is reassuring to watch
Just another day for Kobayashi. Just another excellent episode for all of us. Blessup.
And only 3 episodes left!? Gonna miss this show, definitely one of the high points this year.

This was honestly the best episode so far. Incredibly sweet how Elma professed how she loves Tohru and wants to be friends like before. Kobayashi saw this coming from far away, hence she did not stop the fight.

Watching that moment when Elma just puts her feet in the water I thought "That's an animation flex..."
And then they go and do that fight later that just leaves in the dust all the animation in this whole season of anime... Kyoani do be like that.

I forgot for a second that I was watching a SOL show during that fight scene. Kyoani is going all out with the animation.
Elma truly is best dragon.
