| Can't wait to watch it in theatres. I'm so excited. |
 |
| I hope this is actually gonna be in US theaters. I never get movies here tho.... Anyway, hyped AF. Need Kanna to smile |
 |
| The cover worries me , yeah sure Kanna is cute but I hope they will not reduce scenes from other characters to focus on this overrated meme character. And I am especially worried because this is a movie, not a season. Also God's knows how many years II have to wait to watch the movie because they will surely not going to bring the movie on the majority of E.U countries(if not all) |
| This and Kaoru.. we are living in the BEST of BEST timelines. |
 |
| I thought it wouldn't be continued anymore , can't wait😅 |
| I really liked Ilulu's va, I'm psyched to see the plan with her as well. |
 |
| Man soooooooo looking forward to this. |
 |
| I thought they'd do a third season, but I mean okay, something is better than nothing. |
| yess glad this is back, excited for more nice vibes and eye-candy. |
 |
| Why are Kanna's dragon shadows crying? 😭😭😭😭😭 |
 |
| Finally more Kobayashi-san, even though I would've preferred another season. |
| A movie? Just don’t say that the same fate awaits them as Free and Hibike. |

Im surprised it took this long to get a movie. Though uh. Hmm.
So is it adapted from the manga, the spinoff, or is it an original? The visual is kinda uhh
More maid dragon is always good I guess, see you guys in 2026 glub.

| @CocoaGalaxy Haven't read it myself but from what I heard from fans it's the not a spinoff just the next arc which heavily involves Kanna and is self-contained enough for it to make sense to adapt into a movie. |

| @Asturaetus yes, as I heard, there is a Kanna centric arc that spans for 14 chapters. Just enough for a full movie. |
 |
| Great news, this is my favorite anime ever! |
| You don't choose your waifu, your waifu chooses you. |
| they should have made a third season of this instead of City. Im starting to lose faith on Kyoani. |
| :v |
