That said, Tohru's dad basically tells Kobayashi to take care of Tohru until she dies, which Kobayashi agrees to, so as far as I'm concerned they're married now.

Tohru's father also made several arrangements with the God of this World for her.

So they also got God's blessing!
and wait God is real?!?! WTF!

Am I the only one to catch onto what they said about Kobayashi in the bar????

They referred to her as potentially becoming "Persephone" which in mythology is "The Queen of the underworld", but then they said she was closer to "Demophon" another mythological person.

As she's already done the "Sword in the stone" trick by pulling the God's sword out of Tohru in season 1 (when in the manga something happens that's not adapted in the anime). And she seems to be able to perform magic at levels she shouldn't be able to do when in the dragon's world.

Is she an Isekai OP MC in disguise?

spoiler[See chapters 88 & 99 of Manga for sword details.]

Kanna has had a frog and a ladybug in her hands and she has NOT eaten them.
This is what I call character development.

This comment made me laugh out loud!

I think the Elma and Kanna episodes were the best of the season, and two of the best of the entire series. I don't remember season one well enough to identify any contenders.

So final episode they squeezed in a festival and cherry blossom viewing - just so they could show off how well they're animated....

The bit with the fireworks going off behind Tohru after she'd told Kobayashi that she loved her... Priceless!

But did anyone else pickup on Shouta's foreboding when he looked into the mana crystal Tohru had bribed him with?

Please let there be a season 3 - and more English translated volumes of the Manga....

I kept trying to explain how Luccoa was more powerful than the rest of the cast combined. Between finally seeing her full length and the arm wrestling contest, I think my wife is starting to believe me.

Luccoa is a god - the others are dragons or humans. That's why Tohru is so keen to win against her.

Here's hoping for another season!

I know the manga's still ongoing but having a "The End" card while the first season's OP is playing usually signifies we're not getting any more than this...

Is there enough sample data of second seasons having a "the end" card while the first season's OP is playing to make a concise statement?

In seriousness, the most this means (coupled with no S3 announcement right after) is that nothing is signed right now
