Dragon Maid movie ✅ 10/10 absolute cinema. Kyoani have done it again. The best Dragon Maid has ever looked and the best story arc so far imo. Perfect mix of action and heartfelt storytelling. Got teary eyed several times, Azad is a generic antagonist, but his conflict gives us some of the best character moments in the entire franchise. It feels like a really nice culmination of all the character development for the dragons to this point. They’ve all come so far thanks to Kobayashi, but the film also shows how far she’s come thanks to them. Really beautiful story. Ilulu vs Azad, Kobayashi’s genki damaand Kana’s “I was so lonely” are gonna be with me for a while. This also had the most action I’ve seen from a Kyoani project in a long time and is a nice reminder they might be a character driven story studio, but they can hang with any studio in terms of big action set pieces.

Kuwahara Yuki, Tamura Mutsumi and Naganawa Maria were all amazing, their performances made for so many special moments!!

Great film and here’s to even more Dragon Maid!
