This fanservice classic beach episode does not only deliver a good service but also more character development and more developing character relationships, especially between Tohru and Kobayashi.

Fafnir's should have a witch mascot or something like that. I guarantee a significant increase in potential customers!

Meanwhile, Kanna was just eating some bugs and a crab. Aaah... Such an exquisite delicacy!

Episode that I find funny when there is little Kanna in the foreground, but still manages to slash the story this time too. The serious part is also this time very appreciable as a starting point for reflections: understand and different from understanding.

The hilarious fact is that they even admit that this is the fanservice episode but it still had touching moments. The whole discussion about family and how Thorus admits that she misses her parents was a sweet moment. Loved the humour. The whole bit with Kanna and the bugs and she was supposed to describe the bug and instead puts in "crunchy" was really amusing. There is a lot of fanservicing in this show (maid outfits, huge boobs etc) but the main core is still so honest and sweet that I can overlook the flaws of the show.

the Weakest episode as of yet. Overusing jokes, which weren't as funny the first time, is not gonna make me laugh. even a bit.

After reading the title I was expecting more meta jokes on beach episode concept, but they chose to go classical way.

Update:
Comicon segment was cool, especially Fafnir-san.


The whole point of this episode isn't the comedy. Its actually the talk about their parents. This show uses the comedy to hide its depressing themes and it does well in it's serious parts. Thats why In my opinion, this is the strongest episode.


IMHO, you're both right and wrong. Yes, the beach episode is an overused trope, and it does use humor to make the depresing parts more palatable. However, you both overlooked the obvious joke: the episode's title. It acknowledges the fact it's following a trope, and does so with tongue firmly in cheek. And that is why this series is so good; it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Not really that much about the beach honestly.

This is one of my favorite episodes thus far. I love how the show uses the worldbuilding aspects of the Dragon World to comment metaphorically on common problems people face in the real world. This episode is a very human tale about the aspects of ourselves that break off from our lineage, about accepting our idiosyncrasies, and about that hidden special force that drives us that we can't explain but know is there. I also like how it reaffirmed being a normal human with a normal upraising doesn't mean you can't accept others who are "weirder". We ALL have a weird side!

Of course you gotta have a Beach Episode in Anime.
Goos Fanservice Episode.

Kanna just eat everything lmao

Also Comicon Episode, so relatable and it's really exhausting for sure.

We got the beach episode, but we also got some meaningful conversations with Kobayayshi and Tohru out of it.

Kanna eating the cicada caught me off guard, I legit thought she was gonna catch it with the net lmao.

The comiket was really fucking cool, poor Fafnir though, but it might be a blessing in disguise with all the curses in his book lmao. Also cool that there are also other beings from the other world just chilling in there. Tohru reaffirming her love for Kobayashi was sweet.

Kanna is the equivalent of a Titan to those poor insectsXD

I'm loving how Kobayashi and Tohru's relationship is developimg in each episode and how the differences in the human world and the magical world are being portrayed. Tohru's love for Kobayashi increases every time<3

Poor Faf-kun no one wanted to buy his curses. And Tohru it's called the weeb force that resonates in all of us weebs. Weebs together strong.ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

So Elma's being introduced next. All I know about her is that she's a big foodie.

I really hope they haven't demoted Luoka to strictly fanservice.
They made her seem chill and a nice girl friend for Kobayashi. Luoka is one of my faves.
This episode was a miss for me...
It's even weirder that Luoka is pushing herself onto a child. He looks about 10. Last episode it was cute, but this episode makes me worry for Luoka's future.

This show would be so much better if it didnt pander so much to certain audiences that likes you know what.

What Lucoa does with that kid is so cringe and not funny at all.

The obligatory beach episode. Everyone had so much fun.

Lol at Lucoa and Shouta.

Tohru has a perfect body.

Tohru and Kobayashi had an interesting conversation about their families.

The Comiket part was fun. Tohru looked cute in those wings. ^^

There is no doubt this is a fan service episode, at least the first half of it. More shenanigans as usual. We get a peak into Miss Kobayashi's past with her parents, and Tohru has a flashback as well, explaining what may happen if Miss Kobayashi was introduced to Tohru's parents. Very touching.

The second half is an Otaku festival, or a Manga/Anime convention. Seeing other "races" arriving as themselves, Tohru let's herself loose. She is mistaken as cosplayer, with more hilarity. Fafnir tries his hand at selling manga and the results are what you would expect.

We had a beach outing this time and it was great fun from the little race that Tohru and Kanna had to the heart to heart talk about how Kobayashi would’ve been treated if she were to return to Tohru’s world. Lucoa is definitely not doing herself any favours by dressing so indecently like that. XD And we also had the second part of the episode be about Comiket and considering that I had only just been to London MCM not too long ago it was very relatable to an extent for me.

And it turns out that other creatures from Tohru’s world are not only in the same world as she is but they appear to be regulars at Comiket because people there just think they are just cosplayers and accept for who they are which I think that’s awesome in it’s own right in what I found the most touching episode in this show so far.

Tohru's development character is the most fun to watch in this episode and again the bgm is terific for a comedy show. I learn something interesting from the experience of watching this anime and episode, every last slice of life anime ought to be produced like this, heavy character, good writing, and music. The staff whom responsible for the music production done a terrific job. shout out Masumi Itou

The self-awareness of the episodes titles are funnier and funnier, oh, well, along with the series too. Ok, episode 5 is still my favorite but this is close enough to it, for a moment i was almost thinking that Kobayashi would have broken the 4th wall about why they all went to the beach, but it didn't matter. Tohru still making derogatory comments against mankind with a smile on her face, Kanna eating live crabs like Frieza during the beating of Vegeta, and even the time of more serious talks with Kobayashi didn't feel out of place. And then... A Comiket bit? Great. Obvious misunderstandings took place but all's well what ends well, Tohru attracted a looooot of photographers as predictable, and probably understood immediately why Anime conventions mean a lot to so many people (i talk by experience, and by current withdrawal syndrome for the longest drought of the year when it comes to those events, at least, the ones i can attend to).

I like Locoa's bikini, and Tohru's also.

Sand crab mad a display to the wrong dragon.

I clapped when Tohru made fireworks.

Next time you are at comiket, Tohru, check to see if I am in the Evil Overlord section.
