This episode was pure joy. From Patrick being unable to invite Yumiella, his blatant jealousy making him forget that humans don't lay eggs, Yumiella taking care of the egg as if it was some cute little pet...

"Let's take you to the nurse! But Yumiella's healing is faster, where's Yumiella?" Poor dude loses his head a little when under pressure but who can blame him? 😂

This whole episode was one of the things I was expecting the most from the first book, and it delivered!

It's been ages since I read the WN, but I had forgotten how far into the story Ryu shows up, so I kept expecting this to happen all season. It's nice to see Ryu make his appearance, even if that appearance is budgetarily-challenged CG. I had thought that Ryu happened before the dance for instance.

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 2 points 8 months ago

Well, i haven't read the WN, have read the books instead, but yeah, this season is pretty much Book 1 it seems (with some changes, they have softened Alicia from an outright bigot to "highly incompatible magic aversion syndrome", which is OK). I really, REALLY hope it gets popular enough to have at least a couple more seasons, because the insanity of the end parts of Book 3 is something i REALLY wanna see animated! 😄

We have got a fantasy anime staple "bad CG dragon". Comedy was really good. Poor Patric can't confess his love

“bad CG dragon"

You had me at that. Ryu is hilariously bad CG. I wonder if they'll use that for comedy fuel?

[–] wjs018@ani.social 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Turns out that dragon lifecycles seem to go from egg -> 2D -> 3D. TIL!

Ryu is great though. He is so friendly and cute. I am pretty sure that popping your head into his mouth is a friendly greeting and not a show of dominance, right? Eleonora continues to show why she is the absolute best by being the only other character able to really appreciate Ryu for the treasure that he is.

Patrick continues to struggle to break through to one of the densest MCs out there. He is out there grinding away to try to get her attention, and she is single-mindedly obsessed with her "child" that could raze an entire nation if he felt like it. Stick with it Patrick!

One final thing is that I love that Yumiella put the hat on the egg at night, then again after it hatched, and then Ryu was still wearing it after his growth spurt even if it only fit on one horn:

She's Dense Level 99 too 😂

So if yumiella was a guy before being reincarnated, and he/she bangs Patrick. Is that gay or?

[–] Endmaker@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I believe plenty of other novels / mangas have gender-change as the premise in an isekai setting. Not sure how it is relevant here though.

Also, the answer to your question is probably the same as that to a rephrased version of your question, which is applicable in the real world:

So if yumiella was a guy before going through sexual transition, and he/she bangs Patrick. Is that gay or?

[–] ReluctantZen@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

Is this a hypothetical question or do you think Yumiella was actually a guy before?

[–] Endmaker@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

What Yumiella did (and what the game devs intended to happen) to the dragons is rather screwed up if you think about it.

She basically killed the parents, then enslaved their child. Luckily for the dragon, she is not a cruel master.

Ryu is so cute fr fr

Eleonora has good taste 👍

[–] wjs018@ani.social 4 points 8 months ago

Eleonora is a treasure. Edwin is a fool if he can't see it.

[–] ReluctantZen@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I feel like she was way more dense than usual this episode with the dragon and all for some reason. A bit too much imo.

The CG is also very unfortunate

[–] lvxferre@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago

Fully agree on the CG. On her denseness I feel from her the same vibes that we get from people who like cats, something like

Like. She wasn't thinking straight. SHE GOT A CUTE PET DRAGON!
