Synopsis

As Kobayashi sets off for another day at work, she opens her apartment door only to be met by an unusually frightening sight—the head of a dragon, staring at her from across the balcony. The dragon immediately transforms into a cute, busty, and energetic young girl dressed in a maid outfit, introducing herself as Tooru.

It turns out that the stoic programmer had come across the dragon the previous night on a drunken excursion to the mountains, and since the mythical beast had nowhere else to go, she had offered the creature a place to stay in her home. Thus, Tooru had arrived to cash in on the offer, ready to repay her savior's kindness by working as her personal maidservant. Though deeply regretful of her words and hesitant to follow through on her promise, a mix of guilt and Tooru's incredible dragon abilities convinces Kobayashi to take the girl in.

Despite being extremely efficient at her job, the maid's unorthodox methods of housekeeping often end up horrifying Kobayashi and at times bring more trouble than help. Furthermore, the circumstances behind the dragon's arrival on Earth seem to be much more complicated than at first glance, as Tooru bears some heavy emotions and painful memories. To top it all off, Tooru's presence ends up attracting several other mythical beings to her new home, bringing in a host of eccentric personalities. Although Kobayashi makes her best effort to handle the crazy situation that she has found herself in, nothing has prepared her for this new life with a dragon maid.

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid took me by surprise in the best possible way. What begins as a quirky, comedic slice-of-life quickly reveals itself to be a heartfelt and surprisingly thoughtful story about connection, identity, and the unexpected comfort of found family. At its center is the odd but endearing dynamic between Kobayashi, an overworked programmer, and Tohru, a shape-shifting dragon who becomes her self-proclaimed maid. Their relationship, which starts as a gag, slowly develops into something genuinely touching, full of small emotional moments that give the series real weight beneath all the absurdity.

The show thrives on its character interactions. Tohru’s chaotic devotion and Kobayashi’s deadpan ...

The basic premise of these types of series is the alleviation of stress. Whether it’s the cute art style, the wholesome character interactions, or the light hearted comedy, it succeeds by being an easy watch. Dragon Maid, for the most part, succeeds in its appeal. For one, it’s a basic episodic slice of life with a moe art style. Additionally, the series takes a light hearted and comedic approach to the family dynamic. From the very get go, it plays out as a wholesome story involving a relationship between an eccentric dragon and a tired office worker. While it’s all fine and dandy, the series ...

This is by far the least comfortable watch in existence. When people say they think "anime is weird", they mean anything from this show. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid feels like a scroll through R34 with all tags enabled. People keep mentioning the yuri baiting but the real problem is not really the yuri baiting. It's futa baiting. If you don't know what these terms mean, that means you definitely shouldn't watch this. This is deep into porn addict territory.

I think I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to age gap stuff. But this show is definitely a no-no. For example, I usually forgive something like middle-school-child-crush-stuff ...
