THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode was fun especially wih Shouta, Rika, and Kanna on their little outdoor adventure.

Oh and it's nice to see more of Elma too. She's older than those kids but gets along with them quite well. Speaking of Elma, she put on a hell of a show with her abilties imo. Animation and chereography was amazing imo.

Elma is on another level this episode.

Elma went out on a picnic with Kanna, Shouta, and Saikawa. All the kids doing kids' things and one of them is Kanna, being cute as always. Well, never thought Elma would be that good with kids. Also, don't mess with Elma. She's a dragon after all. Even after losing them in the forest, she forgives them. Good mom energy from Elma.

Elma is on the path of being the best dragon. :3 The animation once again was top-notch from Kyoani. Their fights get really intense Tohru and Elma... Holy... Basically, an episode focused on Elma and I'm all for it.

Elma focused episode.

Big breasted harmony dragon ferociously demands better working conditions for her and her colleagues ... in her own cute way. Then Shouta's father finally makes a formal appearance, and he's no one less than a president of the entire company where the trio works lol.

Elma is on fire this episode.

That was such a blessed episode, I thought they spend all the animation budget on all the new faces and animations and then we get that last part which just showed they had a bunch left. It is absurd how good it gets sometimes.

A whole Elma episode is great to see as well, Elma needs more love.

Was a boring episode, a company that can be seriously being controlled by magic, camp, and action to say that had action.

I hope at least the prairie was restored, because leaving like that, is just being an asshole.

This has to be my favourite episode, we get shouta doing magic like putting saikawa to sleep + blocking elma's clairvoyance, we get stellar action scenes that puts most action animes to shame AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL... this episode centres around my favourite dragon Elma.. How can I not give this a 5/5??

Elma demanding for worker rights and improvements? HELL YEA SHE IS!

This episode is all about the Harmony Dragon Elma, and her efforts are all but naught in the workplace, sad sad Elma working VERY, VERY hard to improve their working lives. And apparently Shouta's dad is their director, this has come full circle, and he knows about Lucoa and their whole dragoon origin. Nonetheless, Elma works SUPER hard, and even asking for Tohru's help. Ludicrous Black Company working conditions...

Elma spending her day off alone and snacking on sweets, but Kanna, Shouta and Saikawa asking her to accompany and spend time together for a picnic. Shouta is skillful enough to block Elma's clairvoyance, woah. And that leaves Elma frantically trying to find these 3 kids with Tohru grinning at the back of her mind. Lucky Shouta was able to stop Saikawa from realizing Elma's true nature of a dragon from being found out.

Elma requesting training with Tohru to exercise their dragon powers, while Kobayashi and Fafnir looks onward on this intense fight coupled with KyoAni's spectacular and crisp FLEXING of animation. Setting their grievances and grudges from before, once and for all, for as long as they could beng renewed friends.

Smooth Operator of a fight. Looking foeward to Kanna in New York next week!

Poor bear, lmao, what did you count on, entering into a battle with a powerful dragon? Shouta is a talented boy and nothing scary would happen with the kids but Elma kinda lost her composure and would even transform a picturesque forest into a "ground zero" only to find them.

That friendly fight struck right in the kokoro, man. When I saw Tohru and Elma lying on the grass and swinging four limbs it was a great relief. It's good that disputes between cute death bringers can be solved through finger flicks and tickling sessions.

This was one of if not THE BEST episode of the Series so far. yeah I said it. I know I am biased because Elma is my favorite Dragon but Jesus dude this episode had literally everything.

The fight was so good and I actually cried a little bit after what Elma really wanted from Tohru.

Now I just need that GIF of her waiting in line Happily for those sweets.

What, I didn't expect him to be Shouta's father, he seems to be aware of everything, but he's not easily convinced heheh
So it was all for some sweets..... Not gonna lie, if it happens to me I'd do the same thing xd

Poor bear and snail.... They didn't do anything wrong :c

Elma is such a talented and dedicated worker, her doing analytics, reports and writing within only a day or two is just such a speechless thing to do for how no humans can ever achieve that aside from dragons.

Her going crazy around the forest was funny

And Take can't take his eyes off of Iruru xD

But wow the animations once again are stunning! And I thought they were slightly toning it down bit by bit each episode. And what an amazing way to end off the episode!

Things do change after all holy cow i'm SURPRISED!!

Another Elma-centric episode was a surprise, but it made for another nice change of pace for sure. The presentation of Elma's campaign for better labour standards was kind of strange in its use of monologue over most of it, and I feel like that segment had the potential to be a full episode on its own.

And once again, Kyoani just absolutely flex on almost every other studio in the industry with that fight scene. God damn was that absolutely fantastic.

TFW a SOL's fight sequences have ten times more effort put into them than other action oriented anime airing this season. I'd rather not point any fingers, so if you know, you know.

Anyways, this week's episode was a significant turning point for Elma's character. After declaring themselves as sworn rivals, both Tohru and Elma refused to get along with each other no matter what. But as it turns out, that was a misguided judgement, and one that wasn't true to Elma's personal feelings. So after realizing this, Elma decides to come clean in hopes of regaining the bond that the two dragons once had. All in all, this was a great episode not only in terms of production quality, but also characterization too.

Elma completely lost her composure in the forest. If she only took a minute to sort things out she would've realized that the children weren't in any danger since Kanna was a dragon as well and could handle anything the forest could throw at them. She was too focused on what Tohru would say to her.

Damn the animators weren't holding back on this episode. Impressive!

More Elma is always welcome, great to see the way she adapted into this human world.
Her friendship with Tooru is something that she always adored as we can see in their fight, with some great visuals. Also it looks like there will be a new character next week,will see how it will turn out.

Masterful, vibrant, colourful, what an episode. A lesson of coherency, a payoff of build up, completely connected to every single detail. I'm not crying, I swear.

I never would've thought that an Elma-centered episode would be the best episode of this second season and coming from someone who has a big soft spot for Elma and her love for sweets, I couldn't be any happier! ^_^

From seeing her doing her best to improve her working conditions, to having a hectic day looking after Kanna, Saikawa and Shouta during a trip to the mountains, she simply made those parts of the episode really entertaining. Same goes for when she was lining up for that limited edition sweets only for 3 customers in front of her to buy the same sweet. Kudos for the guy for leaving one sweet left for Elma after seeing her upset puppy eyes expression on her face as that made her day. =3

However, the best part of the episode was Elma having a battle against Tohru, watched on by Fafnir and Kobayashi. Simply typing words here describing my thoughts on the production quality for their battle doesn't do it justice at all. It's something that I just want to watch over and over again and I'll still be wowed by the pristine quality put into the fight from KyoAni. It's THAT good! If anyone thought that Magia Record Season 2 would have the best animated fights for this season (and year), you might want to think again.

Although this episode was Elma-centric, we did get a tiny segment on Iruru and Take, where she knew he couldn't keep his eyes away from her huge breasts when she felt hot and ventilated herself by adjusting her shirt. The smug look on her face when she saw him looking at her while she did this was bloody amusing! Can I swap places with Take right now?! X3

I do look forward to a Kanna-focused episode next time, as the preview does looks rather promising.

I absolutely loved this episode, we got three chapters adapted from the manga and they were adapted very well. The first story followed Elma trying to achieve better work conditions for her fellow coworkers when in reality she just wanted to get her hands on a limited edition snack, and they ended up showing their boss. also shouta's dad and she roped in Takiya and Kobayashi revealing that Shouta's dad is well aware that they're aware that Elma is a dragon as well as all of the other magical influence on their world, it was just pretty nice to see all that. The second story was about Shouta, Kanna and Saikawa going on a picnic with Elma and though it wasn't very story driven like most of the episodes in this season, it's always nice seeing some wholesome slice of life moments in this anime and I'm glad we saw this, it was cute and also revealed the three kids relationship dynamic or at least gave us more of it. We also got a little nice scene between Taketo and Ilulu, I enjoyed it, this show is a fanservice show whether you like it or not and one of the things I look forward to is seeing Taketo and Ilulu's relationship develop some more and seeing little cute moments like this is nice. The last story in this episode was Fafnir and Kobayashi invited to see a battle between the two dragons Tohru and Elma, and not only did we get such an epic dragon fight between the two, showing off kyoani's talents, we also got an emotional talk at the end, between the two revealing that Elma really just missed Tohru and was upset that she left without warning and that it made her worry and It was honestly really wholesome and sweet, throughout the season we saw their relationship develop as well as how it was back in their world and we finally get to see Elma's true feelings and why she was so resentful of Tohru before. Overall it was a good episode, and so far I enjoy this season quite a lot.
