Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon

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.

It's not the first time I've tried to watch it, held back at each attempt by the feeling of having to deal with a rather basic comedy series. So with the third attempt, I tried to hang on to see what it's really worth, and... It was soo good!

I was really surprised by the themes and the rich development of some of the characters. Even for the first few episodes, which are, in fact, a good overview of the subtle narrative efficiency of the work. There are a few flaws, notably a few Japanese clichés for which I'm clearly not the public, but they represent ... such a small portion of the series that it's pretty negligible in the end.

Very good anime !

This is one of my favourite anime and I watched it over and over when I was in my teens. However, now that I'm older, I still love it, but I'm also deeply uncomfortable with it. I'm fine with fan-service and I don't care if it's in a show. However, since this is directed towards and sometimes includes characters who are children, I cannot say in good faith that this is a show I can be supportive of. I don't care that Kanna is 1000 years old when the other dragons refer to her as a child in age and is a character who literally ... attends elementary school.
It's just not something I'm morally okay with despite loving other aspects of this show.

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 ... as long as the characters aren't sexualized. However, Riko's crush on Kanna will often tread into sexual territory. That's very uncomfortable.

There's also a dragon woman with massive boobs that regularly flirts with a 9 year old boy. Great stuff. To keep myself sane for a long time, I tried to convince myself that it's just teasing. However, it slowly gets more and more sexual and it becomes apparent that she wants to sleep with a child. Nobody calls her out on this. Apparently they all think it's completely normal.

Fafnir is basically a caricature of whoever enjoys this show. It seems they really know their audience because they made the most relatable character for them. My first instinct whenever he's on screen is to dissociate myself with him (in my head). When the show depicts him sitting in his room with magical girl figurines playing video games all day and not doing anything, I feel greasy.

This show is a pressure test for how much degeneracy you can tolerate and it only gets worse in later seasons. If people manage to link this review to my real self, I am burning all my identity documents and living as a steppe nomad.
