Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Vol. 1

Product Information

Kobayashi being female also helps to keep the show away from any unnecessary sexual undertones. If she were male, the show would no doubt be a harem, and it would be all the worse for it. It is hard to care about a cast when the only thing characterising them is accidental breast fondling (yay) and walking in on (and screaming at) each other in the bathroom. Yawn. While Tohru's feelings for Kobayashi are humorously exaggerated as being romantic, that is not Tohru's actual intentions, and indeed, her reactions come more from gratitude and a desire to protect her guardian, rather than anything genuinely romantic or sexual. The one exception is that, yes, there is a compulsory beach scene, although I suppose I can't fault it too much as it was relatively short and harmless (and because Tohru's body is a lovely sight indeed). 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.

About halfway we meet a new character, a friend of Kobayashi, and well you can just imagine how this ends up. Yep, in more silliness and more fun moments. Transcription: " Barentain, Soshite Onsen!

Jokes aside, in this review I'll talk about the comedy aspects and the characters so to start I have to say there is a big variety of character in this starting from cute characters to the creepy ones.

The story begins when a woman called Kobayashi finds a dragon named Tohru, that looks for a home to live, and after insisting she becomes Kobayashi’s maid, from there other dragons start to appear and they become a part of the daily life of our protagonist. With each introduction we get hints that there is more to know about the dragon world and the conflicts that happen there, something that sadly doesn't get explored in this anime, and while I find that fine since this is just a context for the story and it’s still early on to really need development, I still feel a bit disappointed because the idea is interesting and I wanted to see more.

As Tooru continues on her quest to become the greatest maid and Kanna Kamui fully immerses in her life as an elementary school student, there is not a dull day in the Kobayashi household with mischief being a daily staple. On one such day, however, a massive landslide is spotted on the hill where Kobayashi and Tooru first met—a clear display of a dragon’s might. When none of the dragons they know claim responsibility, the perpetrator herself descends from the skies: Ilulu, the radical Chaos Dragon with monstrous power rivaling that of Tooru. At school, Kanna's class does scenery-sketching, clay-sculpturing and self-portraits. Her classmate Riko Saikawa is consistent about her interests. Have you ever thought about making creepy people and pedophiles acceptable? well look no further because this anime is what you need, the "How to Abuse jokes and make creepy characters appear acceptable by using the homosexuality shield" anime is here, you also get the "It isn't pedophilia because the one doing it is a female" extra.

The anime series Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is based on a Japanese manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Coolkyousinnjya that is published on Futabasha's Monthly Action magazine. [1] [2] [3] The series was directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto at Kyoto Animation [4] and aired in Japan between 12 January and 6 April 2017. Yuka Yamada handled series composition, Miku Kadowaki designed the characters, Nobuaki Maruki served as chief animation director, and the music was composed by Masumi Itō. [5] Crunchyroll simulcast the series as it aired while Funimation released an English dubbed version from 1 February 2017. [6] An original video animation episode was released on the seventh Blu-ray/DVD compilation volume on 20 September 2017. The opening theme is "Aozora no Rhapsody" ( 青空のラプソディ, "Blue Sky Rhapsody") by Fhána, and the ending theme is "Ishukan Communication" ( イシュカン・コミュニケーション, "Interspecies Communication") by Yūki Kuwahara, Maria Naganawa, Minami Takahashi, and Yūki Takada. Madman Entertainment will import Funimation's release into Australia and New Zealand. [7] Finally there is Kobayashi, our protagonist, that while I find her a pretty bland character, I think that this is exactly her purpose since she is there to bring the heartwarming moments of the series, related to her enjoying having all these weirdos around giving colour to the lifeless world around her due to her personality, I find that scenes well executed and I wish that the series revolved more around the family feel they create.

Riko invites Kanna, Tohru, and Kobayashi to her house to meet her maid fanatic sister, Georgie. While the others talk about maids, Kanna and Riko get awfully close while playing games together. Later, Lucoa informs the others that she is now living with a young mage named Shōta Magatsuchi after she showed up during a demon summoning ritual. She brings Kobayashi and Tohru over to Shouta's house to try and prove that she isn't actually a demon, but her attempts to prove herself worthy of staying fail to convince him otherwise. Meanwhile, Fafnir gets used to living with Makoto as they spend most of their time playing games together. Ressler, Karen (29 December 2018).

After hearing everything about Tohru's story, Kobayashi starts to feel anxious regarding whether she deserves to be loved by someone like Tohru, especially with how well she's integrated herself into the human world. The group attends the Summer Festival where Tohru is assisting the maid cafe with their stall. Kanna and Saikawa wish to continue growing up together, Ilulu tells Take about how Kobayashi helped her rediscover her childish side, and Elma and Lucoa talk about the differences between their worlds' festivals. When Tohru finishes working, Kobayashi asks her to walk together alone, where she airs out her worries. Tohru once again states her love for Kobayashi as the fireworks go off. Sometime later, Lucoa invites everyone to a flower viewing in the dragon world. Tohru sets up the party in dedication to Kobayashi, including drinking, eating, and an arm-wrestling contest. By the end, Tohru reveals the party as a set-up for her and Kobayashi's wedding ceremony, transforming them both into wedding dresses. Kobayashi runs away and smiles, as everyone gives chase. a b c "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid - Watch on Crunchyroll". Crunchyroll. Archived from the original on 6 January 2017 .

But to treat Maid Dragon as just another silly comedy with moe characters wouldn't be entirely fair, as there are a number of things it does quite differently. Kobayashi, the show's title character and languid protagonist, is a working adult rather than the conventional teenager. Whereas most anime of its nature would choose instead to play a teenager as some pseudo-adult ("my parents are conveniently away on a business trip, so, hey, I have this house and this maid lady all to myself"), Maid Dragon chooses instead to portray real adults with real issues. Kobayashi is so bored with the office-lady routine that she will choose to drink herself halfway to death after a long day's work. Such is life in much of Japan.
