Review of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S
I love Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon and jumped in joy when I learned that Kyoto Animation had announced a second season. In season 2 of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, you can expect even more chaos than before. When a mysterious landslide hits the town, Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna and company realize that a dragon must be behind it, but all the dragons they know deny it. Another chaos dragon has appeared and after a brief exchange of blows, newcomer Ilulu decides that you can never have enough dragon maids. This review contains partial spoilers. Where exactly am I supposed to start here? I have to admit thatI started to have some doubts after the first episode. Ilulu's first real action in this second season was to turn Kobayashi into a male and then try to seduce her.
After such a great first season about the daily lives of humans and dragons, I wasn't thrilled to see big-breasted dragons trying to turn female humans into men and then seduce them.
But don't get me wrong. I love Ilulu. She's great. She had plenty of great moments even though I think her personality and past could have been explored a little deeper.
Other than that, Season 2 explored more of the world they live in and also dived deeper into character relationships.
Kanna's and Tohru's moments were as great as they were in season 1 and I enjoyed every second of their scenes. Even Elma had some great moments throughout the series. Her past and interactions with Tohru were again a nice addition (Elma with long hair is the pinnacle of beauty).
This is a comedy, slice of life and fantasy story. The sole purpose of this anime is wholesome comedy, but it just works. The jokes are funny and many still exist from season 1 and yet are not overused. I have absolutely no complaints about the opening and ending, as they just fit the series perfectly again and capture the essence of the series in a great way. As for the animation, KyoAni has once again outdone themselves. Everything looks just beautiful and the fight scenes are extremely detailed as well.
The characters are very well written, the conversations are cute, yet very straightforward and down to earth.
I don't even know what more I could say. If you already liked the first season and if you can overlook the oversexualizing of girls, the second one will knock your socks off. I enjoyed every single moment of the second season and can only recommend it to you, because Kanna alone is worth watching this whole series... She is just way too cute.
