Review of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S

The return of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid has a weak beginning but manages to regain its footing and end as strongly as the previous season. The story was definitely in particular started out quite roughly, especially with that very questionable second episode and just too much Lucoa for comfort, not just that but a second character existing solely to for bouncy boobie-esque fanservice gets added, reducing the show's appeal significantly. Thankfully by the second half of the show, our main three come back to the show's forefront (Kanna centered episodes are akways a delight) and Tohru's relationship with Elma is explored further as well as Tohru'spast, her perception of humans as it evolved throughout her life and how it eventually led her to Kobayashi.

What I like about this show is how our main characters are able to develop without the show losing its heartwarming, SOL-sort of feel, which is honestly quite rare as media often seems make us believe they have to choose. I found myself laughing at Tohru's same insane antics while marveling at how much her character had grown in just two seasons.

In terms of overall quality, KyoAni has never disappointed me, specifically in terms of art and sound, it really doesn't get any better than that, it's funny to see a dumb show about a dragon maid with insane animated fights but here we are. Voice acting's good too. Honestly, my only complaint would be two specific subplots I didn't really care for but they both happened in the first 6 episodes.

All in all, definitely worth watching. I give it an 8/10
