| New girl is pretty cute, damn. |
  |
| YES!!!! She finally arrives. I think I found my fav character for this show. I've been waiting for a while for her to show up and I love her personality. |
  |
| Loved this new episode, I've been waiting for Elma's debut since episode 2, she's just too cute and nice. I laughed a lot with the Lucoa and Shouta scene, poor kid, he must be suffering a lot. And refilled my Kanna-meter, I can survive until the next week. |
| Cuteness > Everything else Cuteness is Love, Cuteness is Life |
| I wonder where Elma is living... I feel like this will be a topic in the next episode ovo The Lucoa fanservice made me cringe tho. |
 |
| Nice food battle, love how Kobayashi lost the 1st round xD Elma is actually pretty cute and funny too. I feel bad for that kid xD He can't even sleep in peace. |

Damn Kobayashi...   Having cute daughter and adorable yuri harem... She is living a dream |

Cooking battle. Tohru still has a lot to learn about the human world. She's here!!!! I've been wondering who she was. Well Elma is a total foodie. Plus, now we know little more about the other world. Dragon factions!!! Omg there is some deep sub-plots in this anime. I'm hoping if there is a season 2 they will be more explored because I don't think the writers are going to condense it into 4 episodes. I just love this series so much!! |

| This show is so cute I just can't get enough. It is nice to actually see people interact romantically and seem to make progress with it in a slice of life show for once. Normally they just hint and nothing is canon. That is why this show is special imo. Why are dragon thighs so fucking giant? Did you see Kanna's at the beginning?? Holy shit. And Elma's too damn. Thick af lol |
 |
| Pretty good episode, we got Elma and we got 4 more chapters done. Looks like next episode will be original since |
 |
| Finally Elma is here, and she doesn't disappoint. |

| Tohru is literally PG version of yandere, and poor Elma, pledge to protect |
| Loved this episode. One of the better ones, with a further deepening of the characters of Kobayashi and Tooru together with their relationship with one another, more quality animation especially with facial reactions and some more unique gag shots, and the mid-show debut of apparently the waifu everyone was waiting for. The show is at its best when it shows us who Kobayashi is and how Tooru interacts with Kobayashi's character and vice versa. A lot of shows of the same structure tend to either strip characters down merely to gags or overblow simple characterizations in the most melodramatic, unsubtle way as possible (which I feel is Urara Meirochou's problem). Here, all the characters are very lovable and fun-to-watch, however both Kobayashi and Tooru seem to have something special to them as characters. They both have a considerable amount of intrigue to them. Some bits and pieces about who they are slowly sprinkled onto us, letting us find out something new about them while still being something completely expected of them as characters. This is something that, although not necessary, I wish more shows of this genre did. Whenever some shows try to flesh out a character, sometimes they don't really ADD anything to the character. Sometimes, they just end up applying another variation to an already-established character trait, and while doing this is fine on its own, if the character only has one or two properly-established character components, well... you know where I'm going with this. I also love the way the show adds these character pieces in a way that it's completely expected of the character despite it not being required of the character. That felt kind of hard to say, so let me explain with the example from this episode that completely sparked this train of thought. When Kobayashi reveals to Tooru that she's never been as close to anyone before as she was with Tooru, never been wanted like Tooru does, nor had any close friends before, it all comes as a sort of surprise to the viewer. We didn't really know this about Kobayashi before. Yet, it doesn't REALLY surprise the viewer. It perfectly fits with who Kobayashi is and explains her past decisions and personality really well (like how Kobayashi had a fairly boring life before Tooru moved in). Kobayashi didn't necessarily have to have this sort of backstory. There are a million other ways one could become the way Kobayashi has become. Her character wouldn't necessarily have been any more shallow if they picked a different backstory, yet the one we were given this episode felt so natural to her character, and it feels like no other way could possibly fit her as well as this. This just shows how well the writer has imagined his main duo. Also, special props to how not overly-melodramatic they made this reveal. Shows of this genre have a massive tendency to do that. I also love the reaction shots in this show. KyoAni, I guess. They're pretty good at what they do. Everything moves so fluidly, and all the facial reactions never seem to be used twice. (They might've, but it really doesn't feel like that's the case, and that's what matters). I'm always impressed with some of the reactions this show has. I don't think this show has any better storyboarding than other shows of this genre (tempted to say 'nichijou-kei' but I want to be safe), however they execute the shots they have with incredible energy and fluidity when other shows like this have neither. There is one shot that stuck out to me though, and that's the one where Lucoa's face envelops the screen when she lectures Tooru about lunchboxes. It just seemed pretty cool and badass and well-timed, and the way the large evil Lucoa contrasts the regular, sitting, pasted-smile Lucoa stuck out to me too. Also, Elma. Like, she's pretty cute. I don't really have much to say about her than that. She is pretty t h i c c though. You could see that in the shot where she slowly walks out the door. It's really surprising how the creators of this show seem to really love the t h i c c when other shows prefer more slim and petite characters. Kind of refreshing, maybe, in a way. Overall, show's my favorite this season. 9/10 cuz I like the main two characters a lot. |

| "You're an Idiot aren't you" "Yes..." BAHAHAHAH Elma is even cuter then I thought she would be! Seriously I expected Kobayashi to be mad at Torhu for nearly BLASTING THE SHIT OUT OF HER. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Kanna is seriously way too cute, but Elma totally stole the show and Shouta was living the dream |
 Well I find Fafnir more terrifying. His expression showed all those feelings of disgust towards humans and the pain he has been through. *watched this scene repeatedly* |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon is NOT a cooking anime.... it's way better than a cooking anime! XD The cooking battle was even cuter animated than on paper, though I'm assuming Kobayashi got to make Kanna's lunch box in the end. Elma's appearance was even "bouncier" than I expected from reading the manga, though her appearance and character were just as perfect. Looking forward to what happens next, and I'm hoping a certain loli does actually make an appearance in the end.... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| KANNA IS TOOO CUTEEEEE |
 |
| That Cooking Battle between Tohru and Kobayashi was really good it seems Tohru's Rival Appeared Elma was quite adodable while blushing ehehe Tohru is jealous of the new dragon |

| Elma is so cute man |
 |
| Elma is so cute @_@. They all are soo damn adorable @_@. It's hard to pick my favorite now. I am just going to choose all the above. |
 |
I literally almost spit my drink at this part hahaha |
|
| This was my favorite episode of the series so far. It was somuch fun to watch and I absolutely love Elma. She would easily be best girl if Kanna hadn't already set the bar so high. |
 |
| I'll be honest, Tohru really annoyed me this episode, but Elma was adorable and likeable and everything else was great as usual! |
| The battle to see who makes the best school lunch, and the last dragon in the opening, Elma, finally shows up and does something, and it only took 2/3 of the season. Shes cute, especially when flustered, but Kanna still takes first place. Visuals were amazing and strange, especially during the competition, but mostly amazing and I enjoyed every bit of it. Another good episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Definitely can't wait to see more of Elma. |
 [/url] |
I really liked this episode, Elma is a very tender dragon: 3 P.d: Elma has a personality very similar to Astraea of Sora no Otoshimono; Silly, fights ends up losing and always is looking for food  |
 |
| So finally Elma is here, after all the past episodes, good,very good, she's a cute and funny dragon girl. And of course with a new dragon the interaction takes a new direction, yes I mean Tohru being constantly jealous. Despite of this new nice implementation to the show, Tohru keeps being my best girl, don't get me wrong, I love all the dragon girls, Tohru, Kanna, Lucoa and Elma, seriously, but after all, was Tohru the reason I get interested in this anime and the main reason I have to keep watching it, I admit her recent behavior it isn't so good at all, but still I like her no matter what. |
 |
| Tooru jealous is so cute! Finally we Elma is on the show! She is a nice dragon. |
 |
Best scene one this epiosde  I wish I had Shouta's problems T_T |
Rebelhero said: Ikr her reaction was way to unrealistic.Seriously I expected Kobayashi to be mad at Torhu for nearly BLASTING THE SHIT OUT OF HER. |
Raizel said: Rebelhero said: Ikr her reaction was way to unrealistic.Seriously I expected Kobayashi to be mad at Torhu for nearly BLASTING THE SHIT OUT OF HER. She's already used to it, spectating a Dragonball figh-ahem, Dragon fight between Tooru and Kanna, Death Dodgeball with Fafnir and Lucoa, the occasional moments when Tooru blows up the apartment, and then there's Elma crash landing to her apartment out of nowhere in the latest episode. To someone who hasn't seen this before, it's probably hell, but for Kobayashi, it's just Thursday. |
| [/url] |
| As usual, there is fun, but also a very staid side, which makes it more complete every episode. The wait for Elma, is pretty well satisfied, by the understanding from the beginning, the differences between her and Thoru. Satisfied that the narrative has given even now, a characterization of Elma almost complete. Cuteness galore. Kanna is sweet, but also Elma is so nice and fun. Kanna...kawaii! Maid Dragon, is the best! EDIT: Sorry for the delay ! ^^" |

| I guess this will be 12 episodes plus a couple OVA's then. They haven't done the Christmas chapter, the Valentine's chapter, the Damn, I don't want this to end. |
| loved this ep and wow Elma is amazing just made me love this series even more than i already do i was right to look forward to her next ep though oh i cant wait really looking forward to it |
| "one step at a time" |
| I think Elma is my new fav dragon next to Fafnir. |
| Elma is cute and since she is here, we can see a selfish side of Tooru :). Perfect as always. Kanna <3 |
| How can Kanna not like bacon and eggs? |
 |
| Finally Elma gets her debut... I'll say she's going to be my favorite after Kanna-chan. Did Satania from GabrilDropout teleported to this series as Elma ? She just reminds me of her a bit. :b Lucoa is definitely doing that on purpose LMAO. Those dream transitions were hilarious. Btw those dragons' deadly eyes when they stare are so good. |
