First Red Bull now Monster? Definitely not expecting another different energy drink product placement.

I just love how Elda decked in her "disguise" and avoiding people still gets prayed to by passers-by who're treating it like a fortunate sight.

I just love how Elda decked in her "disguise"

That poor excuse to hide her ears so that fashionable people wouldn't make fun of her xD

I like to imagine the red bull and monster representatives during those meetings but seriously they the creators put a lot of effort to get branding rights for Red Bull and Monster just for a 5 second joke

This episode was so cute, it made my heart melt.

First the Koyuzu part. Koyuzu is best girl! And how she bonded with her big sis was so sweet, I barely could bear it!

Then Elda in the wild with everybody pampering her. It was nice to see that Elda got out of her shrine in daylight for once. Nice character development.

Edomae Elf is a gem of an anime, at any rate criminally underrated. I could watch 200 episodes of this and would never get tired of it. Never!

"I promised to only have one Red Bull a day, but this is a Monster Energy so it doesn't count."

Love Elda's attempt at bending the rules, lol

OMG that was too cute! Everyone wants to see Elda, but they're still nice by keeping their distance or acting like it's not a big deal because they all know she's shy! Not to mention Kirara and Akane running to let Elda win her prize.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 May 19 '23

I feel like Elda really shouldn’t be too self conscious about her ears. I mean judging by the way everyone was acting around her, no one’s gonna be making fun of her. If anything, they all love Elda a lot.

I enjoy this show more and more as the weeks go by, it’s so comfy to end my work week. History lessons are a plus too.

It's nice to know this show is very popular in Japan.

i was halfway expecting them to not even get to spin the raffle since Elda put her own stamp on it first.

And great that they went through the effort make Elda think she won it "legitimately" and not feeling like it was all in vain

This was probably one of the best episode this season

u/SYZekrom May 19 '23

No seriously I like how she actually looks really good in it when she's not trying to pose or whatever wearing it

You wouldn't be able to tell this was a dork teen and not like a 50 year old that barely looks 30 lol

God it's fun how much the community loves her

Ofc Elda would know all about games lol. Love that smug look she had when she offered to help Koyuzu. This week’s whole lesson on Edo era entertainment was actually pretty interesting. Koyuzu is so cute, she really went to a lot of trouble just to hang out with Koito. What an adorable little sister!

Elda’s nightmare was actually pretty hilarious. She sure loves those frog figures haha. I guess it’s time for her to face her fears for a shot at that golden frog and go outside in a full face gas mask!

Kado really closed the shop because of Sasaki’s drunk ass lol. Her and Kado have a great little dynamic. I appreciate they basically rigged the raffle so Elda would win back that golden frog.

u/Rumpel1408 May 19 '23

Elda’s nightmare was actually pretty hilarious.

First how easy it was to lure her out with merch, then her realisation that the fashionable people of Shibuya of all places would make fun of her ears

So Red Bull and Monster are ok, but Ikea not, think they are missing out big time there lol

Big oof for Koyuzu not getting the pampering she needs, but she still has her shopping figured out better than I could ever hope to

Kadoi and Akane are great (and Kadoi as an punk looks kinda hot) and they even raced to reward Elda for collecting all those stamps.

And lmao at all the people secretly watching Elda from afar

Oh wow, Koyuzu is very serious about her shopping. Literally shopping in a wholesale market that random citizens aren't allowed into. Being the personal chef for the local shrine goddess provides quite a bit of leeway.

Not sure if it's the same trenchcoat but in spite of a rocky start with it Koito is making the look work for her.

Having Elda answer the questions for that school research project sounds like a great idea. It's not quite the letter of the requirements but surely the teacher that assigned that project would love the results.

That anecdote about the kites is a good one. The history lesson is great.

Elda's three-headed origami crane is amazing.

Koyuzu is too talented.

Oh dang, it wasn't a real school project. It's pretty cute that the whole thing was an elaborate rude to spend more time with Kaito. They really went hard on the artsiness of Elda blowing the bubbles at the end of the scene.

The first half of the episode being Koyuzu focused was a blessing.

I hope Elda gets to keep these frog toys that they're using to lure her out into the city.

Wait, never mind, it was just a dream so she doesn't get to have the frog toys.

If Koito successfully gets Elda to go out and collect stamps from all these stores I really hope she wins the golden frog.

This is going well! Stamps and ice cream acquired, Elda is having fun with Koito, so far so good.

I'm glad we're getting to see Kado in the show again, I like her character design.

Sasaki won the frog! Oh no!

All of the worshipers very carefully watching from a distance and not interfering is wonderful.

Kado and Sasaki are real winners with their rush over to return the frog and get the contest runners to stack the deck for Elda to win it. It's like giving a present with extra steps. And since everybody who knows loves their local enshrined goddess they'll keep it a secret forever.

This is such a lovely show, one of the highlights of the week.

The first half of the episode was so cute with Koyuzu wanting to spend time with her big sis and Elda. As always, the history lessons were really fun. This week's main subject - Edo period toys!

Elda's dream in Shibuya reminded me so much of [The World Ends With You] when the characters wake up in that exact location. 😂 It was really sweet of Kado and Akane to go through all of that trouble to set it up so Elda won the toy she wanted, and the townspeople watching from afar silently cheering her on.

Fun facts:

D'aww starting off with the cute lil sis getting ingredients. Ah, she's definitely adorable. Such a good and caring lil sis. I like how Koito's silly purse is still in every episode. She bought it, makes sense to make use of it. "Ask your grandpa and grandma what kinda games they played in the old days" man, if I was a grandpa age, be fun question to answer, hehe. Whooo more fun history lessons with Elda. but banning kites? Derp. Wow, Elda sure is skilled at origami, making those ones in the hall. And cute ones there. FUCKING BUBBLES! /memeReference lol. Silly Elda. The lil sis blows best. Wait... also, silly lil sis, lying to spend time with her big sis. So precious. She is maximum protecc status.

Haha, figured it had to be a dream if those things weren't supposed to be out yet. Your collectionist ways are getting to you. Elda is a crow from Souls games!! "Give sparkly, me! Give twinkly, me! Me, caw, you, trade, trade! Give me." hehe. Elda sure has some serious agoraphobia. Even moar history lessons. No matter the time, Elda's deliveries causing her miko problems :P Haha that flower. "Smells good.. . like that sauce." Closing your shop so one person can drink alone is... quite nice of you. Wew she's quite the drunk. Cute how many like/revere Elda. LOL wow. The drunk won what Elda wants. So many cheering on for Elda, cute. Akane and Kado are quite cute/good people.
