This anime is so pure... I had to watch it thrice...

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon is purely great from it's standard point of plot and it's slice-of-life quirkiness to its characters. It's fun, not too shallow nor dull, but happiness with living color nonetheless.

Even though the story is quite odd from the beginning — where it tells a story of a living, breathing dragon that has the size of Kobayashi-san's apartment, that brings nothing but destruction and chaos, came to her apartment, hiring herself as a maid and has mad feelings to a human from the present day — the comedic approach and the running gags and random situations really stands up from all of it with a right amount of RomCom, fan service and story development.

The only thing that criticizes me is the last episode of the story. Sure, the ending is a good thing to wrap up this anime, but tends to leave a lot of unanswerable questions that put everyone in a cliffhanger... unless you read the manga, then you're the special snowflake in the room.

Other than that, the art... of course it was made by none other than Kyoto Animation. So, it kinda surprises me a little bit though. I kind of or not kind of expected that Kyoto made this because the it reminds me of Nichijou because of somewhat similar art style. So there's that. (Anyways, WHERE'S NICHIJOU SEASON 2, GODDAMNIT!!)

The sound is really great honestly. But the only sound I would like to hear is Kamui's voice... especially when she hums like a cute vanilla ice cream with cherry on top. Especially when she moans, I really, REALLY like to.. ohh shit, the FBI suddenly came into my room and he's about to smash me to the keyboa- aiohiahdfa; fphoa'hc'p hefajopdjoapjd'[pAJo...

But no, seriously, the voice actors and actress were great. The OP is catchy... but the ED is kinda on-par. Maybe it's cringey or it's just me.

The characters performed here are great. Memorable, rather. And they are actually adorable, honestly. I found Kobayashi-san cute honestly, and she kinda reminds me and also to everyone who are working in a unfriendly and toxic environment that drastically change her personality. To me, she's realistically as she gets to a real-life worker and keep on struggling just for a living and hanging on to an environment she usually doesn't like to work there. But she had a good and wacky relationship to Touru and the rest to keep her self more motivated and learn something more than that.

Overall, everything surrounds Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon is truly one of the best Slice of Life animes yet. Maybe a slight homage to the wacky world of Nichijou, which is another Kyoto Animation anime, and it's truly fun to watch. I have no words to describe as how charming this anime to me... So, just go and watch it!
