That promo was amazing, the rap part gave me a huge smile when I needed it.

Hopefully the show can live up to that clever promo.

"The anime will premiere on Wednesday at 00:00 (effectively Thursday at midnight)" You mean Wednesday at 24:00, right? Wednesday at 00:00 would actually be Wednesday midnight like it sounds like.

I don't know, is that a valid answer? I thought it was about a dragon girl, not a dragon who can transform into a dragon girl...

If you're only going to go half dragon just go Dragon Half.
"But I can transform!"
"But you still have the horns and a tail!"

And looking at the design, yes, there is a dragon girl design that doesn't have the horn who looks like she'll be working alongside Kobayashi. So... for comedy?

And those other character design are not filling me with confidence either. Or the idea that part of a half a possible fan service show will be set at a grade school.

Looking up a few things, if instead of Rukoa, it was Lukoa then I would have known who it was. Yeah, there's no R in.... that name. But would Eurma really be Elma? They need to work on these names. And while it's not set at the school, there's... uh... hmm... ah...

Uh. Or maybe huh. I did not see that one coming. This should be interesting....

Just not in that way. Someone at Funimation must really be a *cough* fan.

I feel like this comment section has some snobby critique. It's an absurd comedy series, just enjoy it or don't "shrugs". The author simply makes it for fun, the entire reason why some characters have large breasts is simply because the author likes them. The series isn't meant to be taken seriously, so if you want to watch it just relax and have fun.

Also as to someone throwing out a jab at the series by implying Funimation wouldn't dub something like this normally, ya...it's totally strange that Funimation is going to dub a comedy series that a good amount of people will probably get some good laughs with. Yet you don't ask why Funimation decided to dub the notoriously boring "Endride".

Anyhow, I love Cool's works and the animation adaption is shaping up to be a lot of fun so I'm excited.

It's not actually a fanservice show, at least not based off the manga. Thematically it's one of those "Awkward people: this is how you social" things.

[so: lots of well-telegraphed faux-pas leading to problems-for-others that we laugh at but also learn from]

@ diamoundheadx and Random Name, if you don't want your posts deleted by mods, bone up on the rules about using proper English and excessive quoting.

Hmm I guess I was to lazy to delete original quote that was quite long. But on the other hand I disagree with your assessment of my English skills. My guess would be you use generic post for all removals. Either way was my bad so sorry and keep up the good work =)
