Aruruu does say "Good girl, good girl," though. I'm sticking with Mukuru being a girl (you don't have to be a guy to have jealousy issues

).

EDIT: Actually, thinking back to it, the word could mean boy or girl, I think. I'm not too sure. I would still trust a fansubber's interpretation more, since they actually know most of what's being said compared to most of us.

Of course, Static-Subs has it as "he / boy," but then that has it that somebody fucked-up somewhere? Yesy? SS?

Or if describing something by as "it," better to use character name, race, and/or post, no?

Iiko technically means good kid. It doesn't necessarily specify a gender. >>;

Exactly, you don't need to be a native Japanese speaker to figure that one out. Of course 'good kid' or 'good child' wouldn't sound right to say against your pet in English, so the translators understandably chose for 'good boy/girl' as a natural sounding English translation. There isn't really a gender neutral alternative in English afaik.

Oh boy, that part where the tiger tried to nurse from Eruruu was funny! It took her a moment to realize that alot of cleavage was showing. He-he-he...
