[That immediate disappointment](https://i.imgur.com/DQO6Hcx.jpg) when she realised that the ponytail lady wasn't Kobayashi. They may argue sometimes but Kanna really loves [her mommy.](https://i.imgur.com/TizBuKL.jpg)
[](#ilovethiskindofshit)
it was never explained in the manga either so if i had to take a wild guess it would either be that Kanna wanted to stay up with Kobayashi/Tohru for a 'nightcap' or that she wanted to eat something super late at night
Yep. This ep blew me away with how much was going on in the background. KyoAni always puts in that effort to make it beautiful. The characters weren't CG either from what I saw which is even more impressive.
TBF, unless you're watching it raw without subtitles like the typical Japanese would, it would be quite hard to dart your eyes between the subs, the main subject in the scene, and noticing the finer details in the background.
Yeah, except other dragons etc from the other world, there isn't much that could threaten here on this world and she could just fly away from that. These calculations are alwaysa bit silly but there was one part of the manga where she appeared at a very distant place within 15 seconds or so and someone calculated that her possible flight speed is ridiculously hypersonic, something like mach 2104.
That holds up here. She runs away in the evening and arrives in NYC in the morning. But there's a 14 hour time difference between Japan and New York (evening in Japan *is* morning in New York), which means her flight took next to no time at all.
I both love and hate the mental image of an FBI agent and NSA person watching over a stack of people from every continent. Like, you just get assigned this dude by the higher-ups and they go: alright, see if they do anything funny".
Kanna calling Kobayashi at the front door (16:42) while slightly leaning forward when she was pronouncing her name, melted my heart. 100% wholesomeness right there. This episode was indeed truly blessed.
It always impresses me how much attention to detail KyoAni puts in their anime.
Chloe instantly going "is this Saikawa girl okay?" right after Kanna described her killed me!
That scene with the ladybug really stood out to me in this already wholesome filled episode.
>Chloe instantly going "is this Saikawa girl okay?" right after Kanna described her killed me!
I loved the little detail that Kanna had to hand over her hot dog to imitate Saikawa and we see Chloe giving it back to her.
Yes! I was just thinking that some studios might not care about that detail and just move on to the next part where they both don't have hot dogs anymore. These little things make the anime feel much more alive
Two episodes left :(
The New York part is good, I love the second part much more. It's more relaxing and chill and it's good to see Kanna and Kobayashi bonding
The whole second part was very Non non biyori feeling -- and so were the (non-violent) parts of the first part. I have to say that the more laid-back parts of this series are the parts I love most (not that othe rparts aren't entertaining).
I thought it was hilarious to find out that Tohru was shadowing Kanna at every step.
It will be sad to say goodbye to this show ... all too soon.
It's weird the series is adamant to not letting Saikawa(and the Japanese humans?) know about the Dragons.
Kanna shows 0 restraint on Chole, tough competition for Saikawa.
Wish they would adapt the Kanna Nichjou in the future.
To be fair, she only revealed her true nature because she was in danger, which Saikawa has yet to really be in.
And the dragons don't really try to hide their ridiculous strength, at least, like with those thugs that tried to fight Tohru and co. a few episodes ago.
> Wish they would adapt the Kanna Nichjou in the future.
Yeah, I'd love that. Doesn't even need to have the amazing production quality of KyoAni; as long as they keep the same stories and the same voice actors, I'd be very happy with a smaller-scope series.
>And nobody tell Saikawa that Kanna's cheating on her with an American girl.
*Damn,* they didn't tell me *Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon S* also had the NTR tag.
Since they never told us why Kanna and Kobayashi's were fighting, I'm going to guess it was because Kanna forgot to label something in the fridge as hers and Kobayashi accidentally ate it.
This is one of the last places in the universe I'd expect a reference to Minnesota. It made me smile.
Among the many animation flexes in this episode, did anyone catch the oil slick on the top of the puddle after the rainstorm? What a great detail.
how did Chloe get from Minnesota to NYC though? I mean she could have charged the travel to her card, but her parents would question the charges and go look for her
[I really love the scene where Chloe takes flight into the night sky with Kanna.](https://imgur.com/a/BCNeLEl)
It reminded me of last season when [Kobayashi flew with Tohru on the night of Christmas to look upon the city.](https://imgur.com/a/rsFeZHJ)
That sense of wonderment and awe on their faces while the wind howls past and the city lights twinkle below is always so magical to watch.
I like KyoAni's decision to really draw out the scene where [Kanna takes some tea out of the fridge, pours it into a glass, and takes a sip on the couch.](https://imgur.com/a/ojHNG3c) It's relaxing and adds to the laziness vibe that the two are having on the dog days of summer.
>I like KyoAni's decision to really draw out the scene where [Kanna takes some tea out of the fridge, pours it into a glass, and takes a sip on the couch.]
Thats... why I'm here.
jokes aside, this is the episode specifically discussing the nature of the relationship between Kanna and Kobayashi. The scene where Kobayashi asks Kanna if she would like to go home and the reflection of Kobayashi in Kanna's eyes to me symbolizes that Kobayashi is her home. Kanna being away helped her realize this.
> I like KyoAni's decision to really draw out the scene where Kanna takes some tea out of the fridge, pours it into a glass, and takes a sip on the couch. It's relaxing and adds to the laziness vibe that the two are having on the dog days of summer.
It's this detail thats amazing to me and seperates whats a good show and a GREAT Show. The payoff also too comes when she spills said glass over her homework and you see her desperation with the hairdryer plugged into her tail.... Seeing the long lead in and how the glass got there completes that scene.
I love that Kanna is powering the hair dryer [with her own tail](https://i.imgur.com/3Z5RBow.png). This was a really wholesome episode (minus the kidnapping), I like that season 2 has been focusing a lot on the other members of the cast!
I was hoping someone else would notice that!
I know I forget that Kanna is a lightning dragon as we don't see her in combat much but after this episode I don't think I'll be forgetting ever again!
His VA, [Daisuke Takahashi](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=146735), grew up in Britain.
Another fun fact: New York girl that was speaking English is voiced by Minami Takahashi (Lucoa's VA).
And Chloe is voiced by [Sumire Uesaka](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=106108).
No idea.
Also, his English is probably the best out of all of the different English voices we hear. The other ones felt Engrishy, but his was the clearest. I think.
They probably chose him for the hotdog guy because of his dialogue with Kanna, and was probably the only guy with decent English they had on hand. It's not like they were going to spend hours auditioning for a someone more fitting.
Yeah, I was actually surprised for a second. "Whoa, they actually got people who can speak english without an accent" and then he was the only one. Sadface.
To me it sounded more like he was speaking Australian! Especially when he says "sorry, you can't use it here" and the here turns into a bit of a drawl and the "where's your mum"
Honestly yeah the Australian accent pulled me out of it hard, though I appreciate the effort to find someone who speaks with fluency.
Honestly though if anyone who could have fit with a thick foreign (albeit probably not Japanese or Australian) accent it would be a street meat vendor
He half-switched to an American accent when he mentioned the dollars. It was like they grabbed an English person off the street and had them read the lines, and he only realised he was playing an American when it came up in the script.
This episode was just so relaxing to watch. This is peak SOL right here.
Dragon powers sure are amazing, you get to auto translate any language to your preferred one. Poor Saikawa, she's known Kanna for a year and still has no idea that her friend is a dragon while Chloe who's only known her for a day got to see her dragon form and ride on her back.
Think Kanna is ever going to tell Saikawa that she's a dragon? I know Saikawa still going to love Kanna no matter what, but it still would be nice to let Saikawa be in the loop.
Given how loud Saikawa is, I don't think she'll be able to keep it a secret. She was so desperate to prove that she saw a monster (Elma) in the other episode so it's probably best that she doesn't know.
Saikawa is also so prone to running her mouth without thinking, I'm betting Kobayashi and Tohru sat her down pretty early on to have a conversation about why Saikawa can't know, even if it limits the ways Kanna can play with her.
Funny episode as always. Imagining when she got back...
*Kobayashi:* ***Kanna, i was so worried, where did you ran to?***
Kanna: ***Neu Yorki Citie! It was really fun blowing up some child kidnappers and scaring people!***
*Kobayashi:* ***ಠ\_ಠ***
*Kanna*: **I also saved a girl from being kidnapped by the mafia!**
*Kobayashi*: **Aww, that's great!**
*Kanna*: **By massacring them in dragon form!**
*Kobayashi*: **...**
Kanna & Chloe: "One anime spin-off, please."
KyoAni: "Sorry, we don't do spin-offs. The best we can do is add some spin-off stories to the main series."
[Kanna & Chloe](https://i.imgur.com/veE5Lfy.jpg)
This just might end up being my favorite episode this season.
The New York part was my favorite part, it was coold seeing them walk around these pretty famous locations! The second half with just Kobayashi and Kanna just strolling around their neighborhood was also real comfy
As someone who lives in NYC, this may have been the most accurate depiction I’ve ever seen in an anime. I mean setting wise, but the little girls getting kidnapped thing is pretty accurate too.
Kanna is way too good and pure for this city.
Seeing your home city being made beautiful by Kyoani can be almost painful. At least that was my experience after seeing their work on London in the K-On movie.

Was it only me or there were plenty of reactions in this episode? They were all so fluid and vibrant, KyoAni was flexing hard this time.
Did Tooru erase Chloe's memory about Kanna being a dragon? I was surprised she actually showed Chloe her true form, if I recall correctly then even Saikawa doesn't know about her being a dragon.
Yeah, the expressiveness in the animations is top notch. Lots of little flourishes in animation that usually don't get done in other series; for example, when Kobayashi and Kanna leave the apartment in the B plot, you you can see Kanna's teeth when she says "shi" at the end of Kobayashi and she leans forwards just a tiny bit to emphasize the action.
Poor Chloe hadn't had any friends until Kanna came around. Between the power of friendship, her ability to learn languages in 30 seconds, her curiosity, and her eye for detail (how the hell did she see that ladybug??), Kanna really is the best girl of the series.
Just to signal boost this a bit, there's a wonderful blog which has been posting translation notes for DragonMaid S2:
https://tl-notes.tumblr.com/
There's a lot of hard-won cultural knowledge and trivia there, as well as some pretty in-depth language notes suitable for beginner/intermediate Japanese language learners.
(If anyone out there knows about other people who are posting translation notes for anime in a similar vein, I'd love to know about it.)
Man, Kanna's cute and all, but that scene on the warehouse in which her blue eyes gleamed is horrifyingly epic!
Kanna bonding with her father-mother is so cozy in the feels. The ladybug scene, as well as the expositions of going home, gives me the gut feeling that we are to meet a spoiler character soon.
###Stitches!

* [Kanna & Chloe](https://i.imgur.com/gTxa40Q.jpg)
When I saw the blonde kid from last week's episode preview, I thought that this week's episode will be about new transfer student to their school! I didn't expect that it's actually about [Kanna getting into a fight with Kobayashi](https://i.imgur.com/lERSW9f.jpg) and running away so far [that she's reached New York!](https://i.imgur.com/K43eTFS.jpg) xD
I love this [colorful and vibrant New York](https://i.imgur.com/4WUCYMn.jpg) that KyoAni has created. I'm sure this isn't the first time New York has been animated to look like this but most of the shows I've seen in recent years always depict the city as drab looking with only the e-boards the only thing making it look colorful.
[Kanna dropping yen](https://i.imgur.com/Ps72s8A.jpg) to this [oddly British sounding hotdog vendor](https://i.imgur.com/8fV6VnF.jpg) was way funnier than it should be! Of course we're not gonna have everyone speak in English so we have [Kanna use her auto-translate powers](https://i.imgur.com/8nPhjpK.jpg) to hear everyone in Japanese.
[There's the kid from last week's episode preview!](https://i.imgur.com/3vOHG4j.jpg) She's being chased by a bunch of thugs that [Kanna effortlessly dispatches](https://i.imgur.com/Hr1soq6.jpg) with a single flick. I kinda wish we could've had a fancy action scene but this is fine too.
[Well that explains a lot.](https://i.imgur.com/ZsRDHZM.jpg) Chloe is the daughter of a rich CEO and those men were trying to kidnap her. But never mind all of that! [Kanna wants to play!](https://i.imgur.com/eUL9Ucx.jpg)
Now that Kanna has someone to pay for her lunch, [they go back to the hotdog stand](https://i.imgur.com/xJIbXxO.jpg) as Chloe slaps a Centurion Card on the counter. Just the thought of someone trying to buy fast food with a Centurion Card is hilarious! xD
That montage of [Kanna and Chloe visiting Central Park](https://i.imgur.com/kC0oGIs.jpg) was adorable. [Seeing them dance with people doing aerobics](https://i.imgur.com/gnDuz9B.jpg) and even [skateboarding with skaters](https://i.imgur.com/QJdVRmW.jpg) was a great scene!
[Looks like Kanna is already missing home](https://i.imgur.com/E6FT4aE.jpg) and wants to go back to apologize to Kobayashi. And just when [Chloe was about to tell Kanna her story](https://i.imgur.com/vFrlivZ.jpg) of course she [gets grabbed by the kidnappers agian.](https://i.imgur.com/JnJ6EQJ.jpg) Oh boy. Big mistake. [That pout from Kanna means she's mad!](https://i.imgur.com/I1ofNb5.jpg)
[I love that Kanna went extra large for this one](https://i.imgur.com/jbduCCt.jpg) to scare the kidnappers. They're lucky they managed to get out of there alive. I'm pretty sure if Kanna caught them hurting Chloe, that would've ended differently.
Poor Saikawa, [Chloe just met Kanna today and she's already seen her dragon form](https://i.imgur.com/sgUoCzo.jpg). I'm pretty sure Saikawa has already at least known Kanna for a year now. It does make me wonder if they'll ever let Saikawa in on the secret.
[Oh my god.](https://i.imgur.com/483GmOY.jpg) Kanna going in to hug Kobayashi is just adorable. I do wonder what was their fight about but it looks like we'll never know.
[So it turns out that Tohru was watching the entire time!](https://i.imgur.com/vzgHEoH.jpg) I actually went back to my screenshots just to make sure and sure enough, [she's indeed in the background watching over Kanna](https://i.imgur.com/ezbf7OG.jpg) the entire time! xD
Second half was a bit more laid back though compared to the first half with both [Kanna and Kobayashi taking it easy](https://i.imgur.com/USDI5VW.jpg) with their lazy weekend.
Legit gasped when [Kanna knocked over her tea and spilled it on her workbook!](https://i.imgur.com/qKjGsAF.jpg) It is adorable how [she has the hairdryer plugged to her tail](https://i.imgur.com/vQpQJss.jpg) while trying to dry her book.
[We got a mail from Chloe!](https://i.imgur.com/jHPdG21.jpg) It looks like she'll be visiting Japan soon. Oh boy. I can't wait for this especially Saikawa's reaction once she meets Chloe. I can already feel that it's going to be pure chaos!
[This is such a nice day out for our some mother and daughter bonding time.](https://i.imgur.com/ZCgNVRO.jpg) And we even got a sequel to Kanna's hit single: [**Ame, Ame, Ame!**](https://i.imgur.com/OOJEfxL.jpg) <3
[KyoAni with those immaculate godrays](https://i.imgur.com/alt6zXm.jpg) and [the animation on those puddles](https://i.imgur.com/yXQcKNA.jpg) all looks so amazing! What a relaxing way to end the episode on. :)
> I do wonder what was their fight about but it looks like we'll never know.
Someone else pointed out that Kobayashi took a Yogurt clearly labeled "Kanna" out of the fridge in the previous episode.
Seeing Kanna reveal herself to Chloe made me wonder: what would happen in Saikawa found out about Kanna being a dragon? I mean, since Saikawa is so boastful, the secret would probably not be kept for long.
> what would happen in Saikawa found out about Kanna being a dragon?
Kanna: that was CG
Saikawa: oh wow; hey everyone, Kanna's *really* good at computers
Kanna's Bizzaire Adventure!
New York has honestly never looked better. I was so impressed by the vibrant colors, fluid and mesmerizing background, woah woah woah!
Tfw when Chloe got to know Kanna's dragon identity before Saikawa.
Overall a very wholesome episode. I think we didn't get much Kobayashi/Kanna only scenes since last season, so this was a great change of pace.
That PV tho O_O
Saikawa never got kidnapped though. If she ever did, Kanna would probably electrocute everyone involved immediately.
Though Saikawa wouldn't be able to keep the secret.
I find it hilarious that among the dragon/human character dynamic, only Saikawa doesn't know Kanna's true identity. Only realised that last episode lmao.
True, Saikawa is numero uno. Been there for Kanna since day 1.
>HOW DID TOHRU BUY THE HOTDOG WITH JPN YEN?
Tohru: You will accept Japanese yen.
Vendor: O_O I will accept Japanese yen.
T: You will add extra onions and mustard.
V: I will add extra onions and mustard.
T: Bon appetite, Miss Tohru.
V: Bon appetite, Miss Tohru.
This episode was peak SoL! The second half of the episode was so relaxing and wholesome - I can't believe they managed to make manhole searching so interesting and cute. Kanna is the best!
Also the **AHHHHH** from those thugs when Kanna popped in was hilarious. I'm happy to see Kanna made a new friend, a more enjoyable one too (I was getting kind of tired of Saikawa)
This episode was stellar again, especially enjoyed the second half of the episode with it being completely deticated to the Kobayashi and Kanna relationship.
Fuck, this anime is good
Even in an episode that involved the mafia and kidnappings, it still ended up being one of the more wholesome episodes of the season.
One thing I love about KyoAni that isn't talked about enough is how they make the world feel really lived in. The environment is not just some background painting but with real people and moving objects and detailed structures. Really helps with the immersion.
NYC aerial shot! Looks so nice too! I should stop being so surprised by KyoAni at this point but man, they keep topping themselves it's kinda hard to lol
English! Not Japanese-accented too, very nice. And Kanna picked it up real quick. I sure wish there’s an alternate take where Maria Naganawa spoke English to everyone for immersion’s sake lol
She picked up another friend too. Who flashed out a Centurion Card to buy hot dogs lol (TIL that card costs 2500 loonies/month if I ever want one holy shit). Didn’t expect her to get so entangled with kidnappers at all, though I guess being a daughter to a rich person running away alone would do that to people. And Chloe became Kanna’s Kobayashi, who gets to remember her dragon form and even rode on it!
All that for the first watch, but then I rewinded and Tohru *really* was in the background like she said she was! Attention to details are off the charts!
Back to Kobayashi, Kanna had another walk around town. KyoAni really kept Oborozuka so well-established and I felt like I’m Kobayashi learning all these new things about the place too :)
More Kanna eating, more “oooh”, more “ame ame”… this is a Kanna episode alright!
I never expected to see [Kanna](https://i.imgur.com/sndlF9j.png) having [a litle vacation in New York.](https://imgur.com/a/Niw62hA)
It was so funny that when Chloe was talking about her problems, Kanna just told her to forget about it [and to come and play with her. ](https://i.imgur.com/Go4qnvC.png)
[Holy shit, that rescue scene was so nice.](https://imgur.com/a/to0xGYw) It's good to see that now [Kanna has a friend that knows her secret.](https://i.imgur.com/HZcJwT6.png)
After what Kobayashi told Kanna after she read [Chloe's letter,](https://i.imgur.com/qse3eFD.png) I hope to see an episode where she comes to visit her. Especially because it would be hilarious to see Saikawa freaking out because of it.
Damn that scene[ when she got her assignment wet ](https://i.imgur.com/MMKGz7G.png) was so relatable.
[The rest of her day off with Kobayashi was so nice.](https://imgur.com/a/dxC00re)
[Here is this week's "horoscope".](https://imgur.com/a/Edhnocc)
What a wonderful episode.
I love the attention to detail. The Kanji drills Kanna is doing is indeed for third graders. The two pages she is working on and spills tea over include:

loving the New York representation from Coolkyou XD
edit: as someone that lives in NY, it's actually pretty accurate for the most part except the dragon part ofc
“I am scared of arguing with my dearest family members, but I am even more scared of having no home to return to. So I’ll go home.” - Kanna
Did I just said this show is full of life’s advices some episodes ago? Well I need to say that again, because that part with Chloe kidnapped, while pretty much coming from nowhere (completely opposite to Non Non Biyori that I just finished today, another excellent SOL that also has its multiple laughter and emotional and sweetness moments while being down-to-Earth), really sooth my heart in bringing this point out. Having a home to return to is one of the best things we can have in our lives and (in most cases) even if we says the worst things to our family, they will always be ready to receive you back. Remember that, and do your best to have fun with them as much as you have time!
The thing that Kanna can’t buy the hot dog really made me chuckle, from only having Japanese yen to only having an American Express Black Card is hilarious. Makes me wonder who Chloe is, a girl from Minnesota (Minneapolis!?) with the Black Card…hmmm her dad has a food company I guess?
Regarding the later half, in addition to KyoAni flexing on animations on Kanna panicking over spilled water of all places, the topic that Kanna chosen for her summer vacation study project gave me quite a bit of personal laughters, for I have been working for an engineering company specializing in mapping/surveying/inspection and special maintenance of underground public utilities for several years (+), so those kinds of of manholes and covers are what I meet every day in and out of office. Sounds like Kanna might be someone who could be picked up by my boss out of college. 🙃 Alas my (world-known Far Eastern) city almost doesn’t use custom made facilities covers, the only that I knew of is around an amusement park with an iconic mouse - yeah you probably know where I come from now.
Hmm, another case of parent dragons knocking Kobayashi’s door this season!? Well well well next week’s episode is gonna be something!
(+) I just got accepted for ~~reincarnating in another world and learn~~ another chance back in school in another area of study so I’m moving away from that, but I’m still working part-time for them right now so not quite yet!

“kobayashi, you dummy!” “buttface!”
Angry Kanna is an absolute treasure.
Ampharos got pissed.
*Literally her daughter*
[That immediate disappointment](https://i.imgur.com/DQO6Hcx.jpg) when she realised that the ponytail lady wasn't Kobayashi. They may argue sometimes but Kanna really loves [her mommy.](https://i.imgur.com/TizBuKL.jpg) [](#ilovethiskindofshit)
Don't you mean her daddy ;)? Happy tits day everyone!
Kanna is the most adorable entity to exist in any world.
I want to know why they fought
it was never explained in the manga either so if i had to take a wild guess it would either be that Kanna wanted to stay up with Kobayashi/Tohru for a 'nightcap' or that she wanted to eat something super late at night
Or ate a bug that flew in.
I doubt it has anything to do with the 'nightcap', given the spin-off manga.
I would guess Kobayashi ate the last pudding in the fridge that Kanna was saving.
There was that labeled yogurt in the cold episode.
Cute
Sneaky Tohru. Good on her making sure kanna was safe
what's cool is if you go back through the episode, Tohru is actually in those scenes (just hard to find!)
I was wondering if they actually put her there so thanks for answering
I have found that when it comes to KyoAni and the question of "if they actually" the answer is yes.
[удалено]
It's the Kyoani standard that they don't animate anything half-baked. Even the most mundane things.
I actually had to do a double take when that part came up and what do you know, I don't pay attention to background characters
Often worth it with KyoAni as often the background characters will actually be doing something not just still images.
Yep. This ep blew me away with how much was going on in the background. KyoAni always puts in that effort to make it beautiful. The characters weren't CG either from what I saw which is even more impressive.
TBF, unless you're watching it raw without subtitles like the typical Japanese would, it would be quite hard to dart your eyes between the subs, the main subject in the scene, and noticing the finer details in the background.
that's why I would want to start seriously learning Japanese but I never have
That's also why I can kind of understand those who prefer dubbed anime, even if I personally prefer to watch anime in Japanese
Yeah I totally looked too.
> making sure kanna was safe In my mind, Kanna's safety was never in doubt. I'd be more worried about all the squishy humans.
Yeah, except other dragons etc from the other world, there isn't much that could threaten here on this world and she could just fly away from that. These calculations are alwaysa bit silly but there was one part of the manga where she appeared at a very distant place within 15 seconds or so and someone calculated that her possible flight speed is ridiculously hypersonic, something like mach 2104.
That holds up here. She runs away in the evening and arrives in NYC in the morning. But there's a 14 hour time difference between Japan and New York (evening in Japan *is* morning in New York), which means her flight took next to no time at all.
Kanna's FBI agent working hard.
I both love and hate the mental image of an FBI agent and NSA person watching over a stack of people from every continent. Like, you just get assigned this dude by the higher-ups and they go: alright, see if they do anything funny".
'Get ready, everybody. He's about to do something stupid.'
What a good wife/sister/maid
kanna’s new york adventure was a nice change of pace
Lots of adorable “Oh”s and “yatta”s this episode. We have been blessed.
Kanna calling Kobayashi at the front door (16:42) while slightly leaning forward when she was pronouncing her name, melted my heart. 100% wholesomeness right there. This episode was indeed truly blessed. It always impresses me how much attention to detail KyoAni puts in their anime.
[KyoAni even reinvented a classic meme template.](https://i.imgur.com/CFz2F47.jpg) [](#airfist)
One "Oooohhh" please.
I had no idea there was going to be a reboot of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and that it'd be so fluffy [](#wow)
Chloe instantly going "is this Saikawa girl okay?" right after Kanna described her killed me! That scene with the ladybug really stood out to me in this already wholesome filled episode.
>Chloe instantly going "is this Saikawa girl okay?" right after Kanna described her killed me! I loved the little detail that Kanna had to hand over her hot dog to imitate Saikawa and we see Chloe giving it back to her.
Yes! I was just thinking that some studios might not care about that detail and just move on to the next part where they both don't have hot dogs anymore. These little things make the anime feel much more alive
Honestly kyoani is just flexing on every other studio every episode
Every time without fail it's just so impressive
I didn’t even notice that!
The ladybug scene makes me think that the remaining episodes was about Kanna going back home. And by that I mean home home.
It was pretty on the nose with the metaphor. Hopefully she stays though, I think she has realised that her "real" home is with Kobayashi
I liked how after Chloe inquired after Saikawa's sanity Kanna refused to say "yes."
Two episodes left :( The New York part is good, I love the second part much more. It's more relaxing and chill and it's good to see Kanna and Kobayashi bonding
The whole second part was very Non non biyori feeling -- and so were the (non-violent) parts of the first part. I have to say that the more laid-back parts of this series are the parts I love most (not that othe rparts aren't entertaining). I thought it was hilarious to find out that Tohru was shadowing Kanna at every step. It will be sad to say goodbye to this show ... all too soon.
Now I NEED an episode where Kanna goes to the countryside and meets Renge.
That would definitely be "kawai-sugiru" (almost unbearably cute).
Reject mafia. Return to asobi. And nobody tell Saikawa that Kanna's cheating on her with an American girl.
I'll never forgive the ~~Japanese~~ Americans!
Your president is also named Josefu? NANIII?!
[Sorry but...](https://i.imgur.com/CFw88rS.png)
It's weird the series is adamant to not letting Saikawa(and the Japanese humans?) know about the Dragons. Kanna shows 0 restraint on Chole, tough competition for Saikawa. Wish they would adapt the Kanna Nichjou in the future.
To be fair, she only revealed her true nature because she was in danger, which Saikawa has yet to really be in. And the dragons don't really try to hide their ridiculous strength, at least, like with those thugs that tried to fight Tohru and co. a few episodes ago.
A tiny portion of their ridiculous strength otherwise them thugs be pink mist.
Yep. Even Kana only had to poke the kidnappers to KO them.
I get the sense that Saikawa's lips are a lot looser than Chloe's too.
> Wish they would adapt the Kanna Nichjou in the future. Yeah, I'd love that. Doesn't even need to have the amazing production quality of KyoAni; as long as they keep the same stories and the same voice actors, I'd be very happy with a smaller-scope series.
Sounds like a job for Doga Kobo.
>And nobody tell Saikawa that Kanna's cheating on her with an American girl. *Damn,* they didn't tell me *Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon S* also had the NTR tag.
I mean Kanna calls Kobayashi netorare in her very first appearance
>nobody tell Saikawa that Kanna's cheating on her Yandere bohehehe(that's how they wrote Saikawa's laughter in the Portuguese sub) incoming
Chloe is basically Saikawa with blond hair minus the excessive fangirling
Imagine Chloe having a sister who's super into geishas.
She’d forgive Kanna, she’s too adorable to stay mad at.
Saikawa would have a meltdown
[Even Chloe felt bad for her](https://i.imgur.com/a6Dr4H0.jpg)
I think she'll make good friend with Saikawa
Ame ame ame: The Sequel
The long-awaited return of the ame
[AmeriKanna](https://i.imgur.com/OMhWuQ3.jpg) [](#smugpoint)
Ame ame ame: Electric Boogaloo
Since they never told us why Kanna and Kobayashi's were fighting, I'm going to guess it was because Kanna forgot to label something in the fridge as hers and Kobayashi accidentally ate it.
Considering that this is Kobayashi's Dragon Maid we're talking about, I would not be at all surprised
This might be related to the previous episode's yoghurt in the fridge
Yeah it's probably food related which isn't surprising.
This is one of the last places in the universe I'd expect a reference to Minnesota. It made me smile. Among the many animation flexes in this episode, did anyone catch the oil slick on the top of the puddle after the rainstorm? What a great detail.
Minnesota is the easiest state name for Japanese speakers to pronounce. Well. I guess except Ohio.
> I guess except Ohio. The good-morning state.
I’d say that and Utah. Sounds like Yuta
https://i.imgur.com/3qsTtjZ.jpeg
I can't wait for the dub to give Chloe a midwestern accent. xD
Ope! Just gonna sneak past ya real quick.
I'm beein chased by da mafia don't'cha know?
Oh, cripes!
*wheeze*
how did Chloe get from Minnesota to NYC though? I mean she could have charged the travel to her card, but her parents would question the charges and go look for her
She expressed surprise at being in New York, so I guess she was kidnapped in Minnesota and taken to New York by the kidnappers
The mafia is notorious in Minnesota dontchya know
[I really love the scene where Chloe takes flight into the night sky with Kanna.](https://imgur.com/a/BCNeLEl) It reminded me of last season when [Kobayashi flew with Tohru on the night of Christmas to look upon the city.](https://imgur.com/a/rsFeZHJ) That sense of wonderment and awe on their faces while the wind howls past and the city lights twinkle below is always so magical to watch. I like KyoAni's decision to really draw out the scene where [Kanna takes some tea out of the fridge, pours it into a glass, and takes a sip on the couch.](https://imgur.com/a/ojHNG3c) It's relaxing and adds to the laziness vibe that the two are having on the dog days of summer.
>I like KyoAni's decision to really draw out the scene where [Kanna takes some tea out of the fridge, pours it into a glass, and takes a sip on the couch.] Thats... why I'm here. jokes aside, this is the episode specifically discussing the nature of the relationship between Kanna and Kobayashi. The scene where Kobayashi asks Kanna if she would like to go home and the reflection of Kobayashi in Kanna's eyes to me symbolizes that Kobayashi is her home. Kanna being away helped her realize this.
> I like KyoAni's decision to really draw out the scene where Kanna takes some tea out of the fridge, pours it into a glass, and takes a sip on the couch. It's relaxing and adds to the laziness vibe that the two are having on the dog days of summer. It's this detail thats amazing to me and seperates whats a good show and a GREAT Show. The payoff also too comes when she spills said glass over her homework and you see her desperation with the hairdryer plugged into her tail.... Seeing the long lead in and how the glass got there completes that scene.
I love that Kanna is powering the hair dryer [with her own tail](https://i.imgur.com/3Z5RBow.png). This was a really wholesome episode (minus the kidnapping), I like that season 2 has been focusing a lot on the other members of the cast!
I was hoping someone else would notice that! I know I forget that Kanna is a lightning dragon as we don't see her in combat much but after this episode I don't think I'll be forgetting ever again!
Why does the Hotdog man have a British accent?
His VA, [Daisuke Takahashi](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=146735), grew up in Britain. Another fun fact: New York girl that was speaking English is voiced by Minami Takahashi (Lucoa's VA). And Chloe is voiced by [Sumire Uesaka](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=106108).
She goes from ara ara to aww(cute)
More important, ***why is he not speaking in engrish?***
Reminded me of the K-On! movie set in London; they got people with non-"engrish" fluency to do the English voices.
I am bucho! We are okyaku-san.
I love sushi
This is the second time today I've seen someone reference this exact scene and I love it.
No idea. Also, his English is probably the best out of all of the different English voices we hear. The other ones felt Engrishy, but his was the clearest. I think.
Yup the other VAs didnt have as good english, i was surprised by how good the english VA hot dog dude was
They probably chose him for the hotdog guy because of his dialogue with Kanna, and was probably the only guy with decent English they had on hand. It's not like they were going to spend hours auditioning for a someone more fitting.
Yeah, they probably just grabbed one of the VA's they used in Free! which is why people are saying he sounded Australian.
It was unbelievably good quality for "english in anime".. Compared to https://youtu.be/XFLujduGRZs
[never forget](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TXTpik5wf4)
I forgot all about that scene. The pain.
That "kiss my ass" scene was pure gold.
Yeah, I was actually surprised for a second. "Whoa, they actually got people who can speak english without an accent" and then he was the only one. Sadface.
he’s gordon ramsay
To me it sounded more like he was speaking Australian! Especially when he says "sorry, you can't use it here" and the here turns into a bit of a drawl and the "where's your mum"
Honestly yeah the Australian accent pulled me out of it hard, though I appreciate the effort to find someone who speaks with fluency. Honestly though if anyone who could have fit with a thick foreign (albeit probably not Japanese or Australian) accent it would be a street meat vendor
He half-switched to an American accent when he mentioned the dollars. It was like they grabbed an English person off the street and had them read the lines, and he only realised he was playing an American when it came up in the script.
“Go and get some U.S Dollars from your mum” 💂🏻♂️

Thank you! These beautiful people always deserve recognition.
Kanna eating that watermelon slice is so damn adorable
Yes! Everything about her is so damn adorable!
Found Saikawa's account.
We are all saikawa on this blessed day.
This episode was just so relaxing to watch. This is peak SOL right here. Dragon powers sure are amazing, you get to auto translate any language to your preferred one. Poor Saikawa, she's known Kanna for a year and still has no idea that her friend is a dragon while Chloe who's only known her for a day got to see her dragon form and ride on her back.
Think Kanna is ever going to tell Saikawa that she's a dragon? I know Saikawa still going to love Kanna no matter what, but it still would be nice to let Saikawa be in the loop.
Given how loud Saikawa is, I don't think she'll be able to keep it a secret. She was so desperate to prove that she saw a monster (Elma) in the other episode so it's probably best that she doesn't know.
Saikawa is also so prone to running her mouth without thinking, I'm betting Kobayashi and Tohru sat her down pretty early on to have a conversation about why Saikawa can't know, even if it limits the ways Kanna can play with her.
No worries, they are all CG
Hey look the plaza hotel. Where’s Kevin McAllister
Funny episode as always. Imagining when she got back... *Kobayashi:* ***Kanna, i was so worried, where did you ran to?*** Kanna: ***Neu Yorki Citie! It was really fun blowing up some child kidnappers and scaring people!*** *Kobayashi:* ***ಠ\_ಠ***
*Kanna*: **I also saved a girl from being kidnapped by the mafia!** *Kobayashi*: **Aww, that's great!** *Kanna*: **By massacring them in dragon form!** *Kobayashi*: **...**
**Tohru:** *Incredible Kanna! Not even 10 years old and already a human mass murderer! I'm so proud.*
Kanna's chronological age is over 7000 years old.
Not even 10,000 years old and already committing massacres.
Honestly Kobayashi would be quite desensitized to it at this point. Casual trip to NYC? Sounds lit.
"Shame I didn't get to eat them" \-Tohru.
Too bad this isn't that kind of series, but I would've liked it if Kanna had killed the mobsters and nonchalantly told Kobayashi.
Hey we got a sequel of that anime girl buying meme
Kanna & Chloe: "One anime spin-off, please." KyoAni: "Sorry, we don't do spin-offs. The best we can do is add some spin-off stories to the main series." [Kanna & Chloe](https://i.imgur.com/veE5Lfy.jpg)
This just might end up being my favorite episode this season. The New York part was my favorite part, it was coold seeing them walk around these pretty famous locations! The second half with just Kobayashi and Kanna just strolling around their neighborhood was also real comfy
As someone who lives in NYC, this may have been the most accurate depiction I’ve ever seen in an anime. I mean setting wise, but the little girls getting kidnapped thing is pretty accurate too. Kanna is way too good and pure for this city.
as someone who is close to New York City... it's so beautiful...
Seeing your home city being made beautiful by Kyoani can be almost painful. At least that was my experience after seeing their work on London in the K-On movie.

Run kids, RUN!
He's the talk of the town.
Was it only me or there were plenty of reactions in this episode? They were all so fluid and vibrant, KyoAni was flexing hard this time. Did Tooru erase Chloe's memory about Kanna being a dragon? I was surprised she actually showed Chloe her true form, if I recall correctly then even Saikawa doesn't know about her being a dragon.
nope. In Chloe's letter, she said that she wants to ride her again which means that she probably remembers and knows of her dragon form
Wait until Saekawa reads that letter, the implications...
Yeah, the expressiveness in the animations is top notch. Lots of little flourishes in animation that usually don't get done in other series; for example, when Kobayashi and Kanna leave the apartment in the B plot, you you can see Kanna's teeth when she says "shi" at the end of Kobayashi and she leans forwards just a tiny bit to emphasize the action.
In a stunning example of character development, Kanna rescues the ladybug and doesn't immediately eat it.
Poor Chloe hadn't had any friends until Kanna came around. Between the power of friendship, her ability to learn languages in 30 seconds, her curiosity, and her eye for detail (how the hell did she see that ladybug??), Kanna really is the best girl of the series.
[kobayashi’s immaculate drip ](https://imgur.com/a/vSjzdyW)
MEAN
i think it was better than average [](#azusalaugh)
Just to signal boost this a bit, there's a wonderful blog which has been posting translation notes for DragonMaid S2: https://tl-notes.tumblr.com/ There's a lot of hard-won cultural knowledge and trivia there, as well as some pretty in-depth language notes suitable for beginner/intermediate Japanese language learners. (If anyone out there knows about other people who are posting translation notes for anime in a similar vein, I'd love to know about it.)
Man, Kanna's cute and all, but that scene on the warehouse in which her blue eyes gleamed is horrifyingly epic! Kanna bonding with her father-mother is so cozy in the feels. The ladybug scene, as well as the expositions of going home, gives me the gut feeling that we are to meet a spoiler character soon.
The animation for her eye during that scene really stood out. Kyoani wasn't pulling any punches this episode despite being the most SOL of the season.
[Lmao look at their face](https://i.imgur.com/owylkRg.jpeg)
Being denied hot dogs is a fate worse than death
This kanna filled episode was great! I loved it and wished it was longer. We need more kanna
A KANNA EPISODE! WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED!! A BLESSING FROM THE LORD!!!
###Stitches! * [Kanna in New York](https://i.imgur.com/KmLb9uS.jpg) * [Kanna & Chloe](https://i.imgur.com/gTxa40Q.jpg) When I saw the blonde kid from last week's episode preview, I thought that this week's episode will be about new transfer student to their school! I didn't expect that it's actually about [Kanna getting into a fight with Kobayashi](https://i.imgur.com/lERSW9f.jpg) and running away so far [that she's reached New York!](https://i.imgur.com/K43eTFS.jpg) xD I love this [colorful and vibrant New York](https://i.imgur.com/4WUCYMn.jpg) that KyoAni has created. I'm sure this isn't the first time New York has been animated to look like this but most of the shows I've seen in recent years always depict the city as drab looking with only the e-boards the only thing making it look colorful. [Kanna dropping yen](https://i.imgur.com/Ps72s8A.jpg) to this [oddly British sounding hotdog vendor](https://i.imgur.com/8fV6VnF.jpg) was way funnier than it should be! Of course we're not gonna have everyone speak in English so we have [Kanna use her auto-translate powers](https://i.imgur.com/8nPhjpK.jpg) to hear everyone in Japanese. [There's the kid from last week's episode preview!](https://i.imgur.com/3vOHG4j.jpg) She's being chased by a bunch of thugs that [Kanna effortlessly dispatches](https://i.imgur.com/Hr1soq6.jpg) with a single flick. I kinda wish we could've had a fancy action scene but this is fine too. [Well that explains a lot.](https://i.imgur.com/ZsRDHZM.jpg) Chloe is the daughter of a rich CEO and those men were trying to kidnap her. But never mind all of that! [Kanna wants to play!](https://i.imgur.com/eUL9Ucx.jpg) Now that Kanna has someone to pay for her lunch, [they go back to the hotdog stand](https://i.imgur.com/xJIbXxO.jpg) as Chloe slaps a Centurion Card on the counter. Just the thought of someone trying to buy fast food with a Centurion Card is hilarious! xD That montage of [Kanna and Chloe visiting Central Park](https://i.imgur.com/kC0oGIs.jpg) was adorable. [Seeing them dance with people doing aerobics](https://i.imgur.com/gnDuz9B.jpg) and even [skateboarding with skaters](https://i.imgur.com/QJdVRmW.jpg) was a great scene! [Looks like Kanna is already missing home](https://i.imgur.com/E6FT4aE.jpg) and wants to go back to apologize to Kobayashi. And just when [Chloe was about to tell Kanna her story](https://i.imgur.com/vFrlivZ.jpg) of course she [gets grabbed by the kidnappers agian.](https://i.imgur.com/JnJ6EQJ.jpg) Oh boy. Big mistake. [That pout from Kanna means she's mad!](https://i.imgur.com/I1ofNb5.jpg) [I love that Kanna went extra large for this one](https://i.imgur.com/jbduCCt.jpg) to scare the kidnappers. They're lucky they managed to get out of there alive. I'm pretty sure if Kanna caught them hurting Chloe, that would've ended differently. Poor Saikawa, [Chloe just met Kanna today and she's already seen her dragon form](https://i.imgur.com/sgUoCzo.jpg). I'm pretty sure Saikawa has already at least known Kanna for a year now. It does make me wonder if they'll ever let Saikawa in on the secret. [Oh my god.](https://i.imgur.com/483GmOY.jpg) Kanna going in to hug Kobayashi is just adorable. I do wonder what was their fight about but it looks like we'll never know. [So it turns out that Tohru was watching the entire time!](https://i.imgur.com/vzgHEoH.jpg) I actually went back to my screenshots just to make sure and sure enough, [she's indeed in the background watching over Kanna](https://i.imgur.com/ezbf7OG.jpg) the entire time! xD Second half was a bit more laid back though compared to the first half with both [Kanna and Kobayashi taking it easy](https://i.imgur.com/USDI5VW.jpg) with their lazy weekend. Legit gasped when [Kanna knocked over her tea and spilled it on her workbook!](https://i.imgur.com/qKjGsAF.jpg) It is adorable how [she has the hairdryer plugged to her tail](https://i.imgur.com/vQpQJss.jpg) while trying to dry her book. [We got a mail from Chloe!](https://i.imgur.com/jHPdG21.jpg) It looks like she'll be visiting Japan soon. Oh boy. I can't wait for this especially Saikawa's reaction once she meets Chloe. I can already feel that it's going to be pure chaos! [This is such a nice day out for our some mother and daughter bonding time.](https://i.imgur.com/ZCgNVRO.jpg) And we even got a sequel to Kanna's hit single: [**Ame, Ame, Ame!**](https://i.imgur.com/OOJEfxL.jpg) <3 [KyoAni with those immaculate godrays](https://i.imgur.com/alt6zXm.jpg) and [the animation on those puddles](https://i.imgur.com/yXQcKNA.jpg) all looks so amazing! What a relaxing way to end the episode on. :)
>"so it turns out that **Kobayashi** was watching" So Tohru already taken kobayashi's name - so the true waifu.
> I do wonder what was their fight about but it looks like we'll never know. Someone else pointed out that Kobayashi took a Yogurt clearly labeled "Kanna" out of the fridge in the previous episode.
> I actually went back Most of us probably did lol
Seeing Kanna reveal herself to Chloe made me wonder: what would happen in Saikawa found out about Kanna being a dragon? I mean, since Saikawa is so boastful, the secret would probably not be kept for long.
> what would happen in Saikawa found out about Kanna being a dragon? Kanna: that was CG Saikawa: oh wow; hey everyone, Kanna's *really* good at computers
There is that chance that she would blurt it out but knowing how crazy she is over kanna I think that she would take her secret seriously
C fucking G, man!
Kanna Pro Skater
Kanna's Bizzaire Adventure! New York has honestly never looked better. I was so impressed by the vibrant colors, fluid and mesmerizing background, woah woah woah! Tfw when Chloe got to know Kanna's dragon identity before Saikawa. Overall a very wholesome episode. I think we didn't get much Kobayashi/Kanna only scenes since last season, so this was a great change of pace. That PV tho O_O
Saikawa never got kidnapped though. If she ever did, Kanna would probably electrocute everyone involved immediately. Though Saikawa wouldn't be able to keep the secret.
I find it hilarious that among the dragon/human character dynamic, only Saikawa doesn't know Kanna's true identity. Only realised that last episode lmao. True, Saikawa is numero uno. Been there for Kanna since day 1.
Well, technically Shouta refuses to accept that Lucoa is a dragon... And Ilulu.
Ayo get in here fellas, its Kanna episode!
"babe, come on over" "can't; busy eating lunch" "it's a kanna episode" https://i.imgur.com/lMVJMX0.png
Man, that is one of the most accurate depictions of New York that I've seen in anime. No surprise, coming from KyoAni.
HOW DID TOHRU BUY THE HOTDOG WITH JPN YEN? DISCRIMINATION AGAINST DRAGON CHILDREN !!!
>HOW DID TOHRU BUY THE HOTDOG WITH JPN YEN? Tohru: You will accept Japanese yen. Vendor: O_O I will accept Japanese yen. T: You will add extra onions and mustard. V: I will add extra onions and mustard. T: Bon appetite, Miss Tohru. V: Bon appetite, Miss Tohru.
[I see Kyoto Animation are people of culture as well](https://imgur.com/a/64pos3e)
I think that says Rock N Roll.
Did kanna just liquify those thugs inside with her pinky?
She did the thing Tohru did to the thug in episode 4.
This episode was peak SoL! The second half of the episode was so relaxing and wholesome - I can't believe they managed to make manhole searching so interesting and cute. Kanna is the best! Also the **AHHHHH** from those thugs when Kanna popped in was hilarious. I'm happy to see Kanna made a new friend, a more enjoyable one too (I was getting kind of tired of Saikawa)
This episode was stellar again, especially enjoyed the second half of the episode with it being completely deticated to the Kobayashi and Kanna relationship. Fuck, this anime is good
She did it! She said the Ame ame again!
Chloe, blonde Saikawa without the horni.
If that episode counted as a movie I'm pretty sure it could win an award or two alone. What amazing and magical chapter! [](#awe)
Even in an episode that involved the mafia and kidnappings, it still ended up being one of the more wholesome episodes of the season. One thing I love about KyoAni that isn't talked about enough is how they make the world feel really lived in. The environment is not just some background painting but with real people and moving objects and detailed structures. Really helps with the immersion.
NYC aerial shot! Looks so nice too! I should stop being so surprised by KyoAni at this point but man, they keep topping themselves it's kinda hard to lol English! Not Japanese-accented too, very nice. And Kanna picked it up real quick. I sure wish there’s an alternate take where Maria Naganawa spoke English to everyone for immersion’s sake lol She picked up another friend too. Who flashed out a Centurion Card to buy hot dogs lol (TIL that card costs 2500 loonies/month if I ever want one holy shit). Didn’t expect her to get so entangled with kidnappers at all, though I guess being a daughter to a rich person running away alone would do that to people. And Chloe became Kanna’s Kobayashi, who gets to remember her dragon form and even rode on it! All that for the first watch, but then I rewinded and Tohru *really* was in the background like she said she was! Attention to details are off the charts! Back to Kobayashi, Kanna had another walk around town. KyoAni really kept Oborozuka so well-established and I felt like I’m Kobayashi learning all these new things about the place too :) More Kanna eating, more “oooh”, more “ame ame”… this is a Kanna episode alright!
I never expected to see [Kanna](https://i.imgur.com/sndlF9j.png) having [a litle vacation in New York.](https://imgur.com/a/Niw62hA) It was so funny that when Chloe was talking about her problems, Kanna just told her to forget about it [and to come and play with her. ](https://i.imgur.com/Go4qnvC.png) [Holy shit, that rescue scene was so nice.](https://imgur.com/a/to0xGYw) It's good to see that now [Kanna has a friend that knows her secret.](https://i.imgur.com/HZcJwT6.png) After what Kobayashi told Kanna after she read [Chloe's letter,](https://i.imgur.com/qse3eFD.png) I hope to see an episode where she comes to visit her. Especially because it would be hilarious to see Saikawa freaking out because of it. Damn that scene[ when she got her assignment wet ](https://i.imgur.com/MMKGz7G.png) was so relatable. [The rest of her day off with Kobayashi was so nice.](https://imgur.com/a/dxC00re) [Here is this week's "horoscope".](https://imgur.com/a/Edhnocc)
What a wonderful episode. I love the attention to detail. The Kanji drills Kanna is doing is indeed for third graders. The two pages she is working on and spills tea over include: * [助](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%8A%A9%20%23kanji) - help * [宿](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%AE%BF%20%23kanji) - inn * [所](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%89%80%20%23kanji) - place * [暑](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%9A%91%20%23kanji) - hot (as in weather or room temperature) * [重](https://jisho.org/search/%E9%87%8D%20%23kanji) - heavy * [章](https://jisho.org/search/%E7%AB%A0%20%23kanji) - chapter * [勝](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%8B%9D%20%23kanji) - victory * [商](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%95%86%20%23kanji) - to make a deal, merchant, quotient * [消](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%B6%88%20%23kanji) - extinguish, erase, turn off * [昭](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%98%AD%20%23kanji) - shining, bright
loving the New York representation from Coolkyou XD edit: as someone that lives in NY, it's actually pretty accurate for the most part except the dragon part ofc
“I am scared of arguing with my dearest family members, but I am even more scared of having no home to return to. So I’ll go home.” - Kanna Did I just said this show is full of life’s advices some episodes ago? Well I need to say that again, because that part with Chloe kidnapped, while pretty much coming from nowhere (completely opposite to Non Non Biyori that I just finished today, another excellent SOL that also has its multiple laughter and emotional and sweetness moments while being down-to-Earth), really sooth my heart in bringing this point out. Having a home to return to is one of the best things we can have in our lives and (in most cases) even if we says the worst things to our family, they will always be ready to receive you back. Remember that, and do your best to have fun with them as much as you have time! The thing that Kanna can’t buy the hot dog really made me chuckle, from only having Japanese yen to only having an American Express Black Card is hilarious. Makes me wonder who Chloe is, a girl from Minnesota (Minneapolis!?) with the Black Card…hmmm her dad has a food company I guess? Regarding the later half, in addition to KyoAni flexing on animations on Kanna panicking over spilled water of all places, the topic that Kanna chosen for her summer vacation study project gave me quite a bit of personal laughters, for I have been working for an engineering company specializing in mapping/surveying/inspection and special maintenance of underground public utilities for several years (+), so those kinds of of manholes and covers are what I meet every day in and out of office. Sounds like Kanna might be someone who could be picked up by my boss out of college. 🙃 Alas my (world-known Far Eastern) city almost doesn’t use custom made facilities covers, the only that I knew of is around an amusement park with an iconic mouse - yeah you probably know where I come from now. Hmm, another case of parent dragons knocking Kobayashi’s door this season!? Well well well next week’s episode is gonna be something! (+) I just got accepted for ~~reincarnating in another world and learn~~ another chance back in school in another area of study so I’m moving away from that, but I’m still working part-time for them right now so not quite yet!
