I really like this season too, but I feel like it's loosing focus. I need more toru and kobayashi


yea

instead of wasting time on irrelevant characters

I wish kyoani would focus S2 more into Kanna and her Dad Arc
there are no irrelevant characters. the work doesn't have one or two characters, this is a slice of life with comedy and fantasy, so everyone has its importance. if you don't like the others besides tooru or kabayashi, that's your problem. this show is good as it should be.if you know kana's father's arc, then you know the importance of the other characters, i ended your shitty talk.

really good hidden joke from kyoani at the end of episode with saikawa sound dissappointed after told by kanna that dragon she just saw was as CG. it can mean:
- indirectly dissing some studio that rely on CG too much or,
-mocking fanbase who dissappointed after just hearing a word "CG".
Kanna's speech was just a funny excuse to throw Saikawa off, nothing more.

oh the humanity! protect your kids and loved ones from the CG horror, lurking in the river. kyoani seems to know what every anime fan already knows as well, that CG is absolutely monstrous and terrifying.

other than that, it was a great episode as usual, was also great to see almost all the human-dragon duos getting some time in the spotlight to bond. i really want to see ilulu with that high school dude some more though.

and just wanted to express once more how beautiful this series truly is, it's one of my favorite tv anime of all time, visually speaking (lucoa's eyes are spectacular).

the focus is on slice of life with comedy and fantasy, just as it was in s1. let others have their space as they always have. tooru and kobayashi will not disappear, just be calm impatient person.

theyre irrelevant to the upcoming big conflict, Kanna and her Dad arc

especially Fap-kun,
I'm quite tired of seeing him expressing his "discomfort" towards dragons that are mimicking humans

We've alredy known that information since the first time he's introduced back in S1, I've lost count of how many times he directly and indirectly mentions it to literally everyone, especialy to Tohru

Even in S2, he's already mentioned it multiple times -_- do you remember in the previous EP when he told Elma and Tohru(again) about that shit? its honestly starting to get on my nerves lol

sure if you want to think it's like that. but fyi, sometimes the staff just throw away this kind of criticsm in their anime, and i think this scene fits really well with current state of anime industry.

Leaving the always weird Lucoa x Shouta moments aside, this was another nice episode. Fafnir willingly opening up to Takiya and talking about dragons mimicking humans in some aspects of their lives was definitely my favorite part.

they participate in the conflict and what fafnir always says has everything to do with the conflict (humans/dragons), irrelevant they are not. remember that the focus is on everyday life and comedy and this is just a different complement to the work, s1 was exactly like that and no one complained about this aspect, as it is a slice of life. if the author created them it was to complement the main characters: Tooru, kobayashi and Kanna.you are summing up dragon maid only to this arc, which it is not. just be calm that probably s2 will end in this arc of war, don't worry.

The next time my friend asks me if they just saw a ghost, I'll just reply "That's CG." Thanks Kanna!

I almost forgot how hilarious Lucoa and Shota moments are. Lucoa exposed her weakness is being afraid of losing a home. Wow, that hit differently compared to the usual Lucoa stuff.

Wholesome episode, Lucoa and Shouta have a, close, relationship but its soon revealed that Lucoa's past gave her trouble staying in one place, and her reason for sticking with Shouta is more heart touching then imagined.

Happy they showed more of Fafnir and Takiya, i find their chemistry to be really interesting. Fafnir the ancient powerful dragon, pals with Takiya the average office worker, part time otaku. Although on paper they seem to still be at odds ends, in reality they know each other's boundaries and are actually quite close.

Kanna and Saikawa's segment was full of sugar, Elma just casually taking a bath in the river was not expected. Easy to forget that Kanna is also like a couple thousand years old, so she kinda understands that dragons are not the norm here, and if they want to keep there gig up, they really need to hide it.

Next episode looks pretty yabai. Takiya please wtf did you teach Shouta when he asked to be "more of an adult".

Another relationship development that should have been there before the introduction of Iruru. Kyoto Animation could be creative with their works, but recently there is something off their standard.

@GeanWolf2000

I dont mind other slice of life moments Fap-kun does with Takiya or everyone, I only dont like he keeps on mentioning his discomfort towards dragon mimicking mumbu jumbo in every chance he gets

Myb he doesnt know that Elma and Tohru were once playing with humans for decades and theyre doing just fine. The only difference now is that Tohru especially likes one certain human (Kobayashi), as for Elma she doesnt change much she's only in it for food

There's a limit to being a tsundere for goodness sake, I know Fap-kun is just being dishonest about his feelings towards humans but... Its annoying to seem him repeating himself for dozens of times since Season 1, he's like an annoying heroine in every romance anime ever

even Shouta-kun knows when to express his honest feelings towards Lucoa, remember that time in Season 1 when he's trying to get rid of Lucoa by throwing a bunch of holy beans towards her? however, as soon as she left his house, he immediately went out looking for her pfft

I feel like this was the first time we got to see Fafnir's dragon form outside of the season 1 OP, or did we get a very brief glimpse of it when he first appeared in season 1?


We did see a version of Fafnir's dragon form when he meets Kobayashi for the first time in season 1, tho' I believe it was a human sized version instead of his full-sized version... sort of like when Tohru arrives for the first time at Kobayashi's door.
And thanks to Shouta's spy camera network, it is confirmed that Lucoa WILL WEAR as little as she can get away with as the situation allows...

Great episode focusing on the supporting cast. Always like Fafnir and Takiya's serious conversations. Fafnir's dragon form looks terrifying lmao. Nice to see to know a little bit more of Lucoa's past, don't worry Shouta, Lucoa respects you, just not the way you want to lmao. Kanna is adorable as always and Saikawa is down bad as always, all is right in the world. CG Elma do be looking good though. Looks like we'll see the continuation of Takiya's family visit, looking forward to that.

Another glorious episode!
Lucoa & Shouta moments are priceless! so hilarious when Shouta offered a shirt to Lucoa only to be destroyed by her MELONS!
It gonna be a hard feat to temporary let Faf-kun leave Takiya's place! haha!!
HAHA Shouta was super surprised to the Otaku form of Takiya! nyahaha!!
oh man! Saikawa had another time of her life obsessing for Kanna!!!
that 'Nirvana' was so random its so hilarious!
its unusual for Elma to forget her perception blocking...nice save of Kanna!
5/5.

Pleeaasse i gotta see more Fafnir. Loved Kannas explanation for Elma lol, more sweet moments between her and Saikawa which are always great but Saikawa needs to chill a bit. Also nice to see the episode start with Shouta and Lucoa, interesting to see him try to find her weakness which ends in a more wholesome way.

I feel like Kanna saying CG, it's a sarcasm for other Anime that using CG for Dragon.
Meanwhile Kyoto Animation can do it without CG.
Probably I'm thinking too hard and it was just regular joke. lol

This season has a more world building focus to it. Fleshing out individual character dynamics and more attention to detail in its backgrounds makes the whole setting more genuine, like we're seeing actual working/people in their daily lives.

I hope cool-kyu develops Shouta and Fafnir like he has been doing with the other characters so far, rather than leaving them stagnant as they are. Particularly Shouta, I would like to see him evolve past the 'shy/embarrassed at every minute thing' phase and actually do something with Lucoa or something.

I liked seeing more of Lucoa and Shouta as I missed them in previous episodes. It seems like the child is slowly but steadily becoming a man... We'll see which kind of influence Takiya turns out to be for the boy XD

I also must say that I would enjoy watching Takiya's family's reaction when meeting Fafnir.

Kanna and Saikawa were as adorable as always, and I found Elma so cute when having fun in the river. Speaking of cuteness, it was a nice surprise getting to know a more loving and less arousing side of Lucoa, although some "traditions" shall never be erased >w<

Is it just me or is Kanna’s voice becoming more childlike? Like all the other kids do not sound anywhere near as young as she does. My opinion still stands that Kanna & Saikawa and Shouta & Quetzalcoatl actively bring down this anime with their sexualizing children and sexual harrassment of children respectively. Feels so disgusting. At least we got some Fafnir and Takiya time.

lmao I see haters still act like Saikawa: overreacting on the most insignificant things, but on the opposite side of the scale. It's amusing to think how they have been trolled hard by Kyoani without realizing it. On a serious not, this episode has to be the most enjoyable one so far, I was smiling for the entirety of the third act.

yes i'm late to the party.
so little time for me in the last weeks.

this episode was great.
finally more screentime of my two favorite dragons Lucoa and Fafnir.

Lucoa is so adorable.
and Fafnir so prideful but also nerdy and funny.

and Kanna as always sweet as sugar.
only Saikawa is like always a little akward.

but a hightlight in this episode was Elma's dragon form.
after
damn i want to see Lucoa's already.
we saw her form only a second in the opening.
