http://www.crunchyroll.com/miss-kobayashis-dragon-maid From the director of Hyouka and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya comes the next classic anime from Kyoani. quote:Miss Kobayashi is your average office worker who lives a boring life, alone in her small apartment–until she saves the life of a female dragon in distress. The dragon, named Tohru, has the ability to magically transform into an adorable human girl (albeit with horns and a long tail!), who will do anything to pay off her debt of gratitude, whether Miss Kobayashi likes it or not. With a very persistent and amorous dragon as a roommate, nothing comes easy, and Miss Kobayashi’s normal life is about to go off the deep end! (The dragon maid committee takes its work super seriously.) Characters: Mom Dragon maid mom Daughter (electric type) Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is on Crunchyroll on Wednesdays. second opinion:

Xeiros posted:The vast majority of Maid Dragon chapters equate to about 5 minutes of animated content. To break it down for you, episode 2's shopping was a chapter, Kanna showing up was a chapter, playing was a chapter, and Tohru showing Kanna around was a chapter. This so far has resulted in a ratio of 4 chapters to 1 episode. I didn't read this

What the heck, friends, no need to make snippy posts because Xeiros felt like posting more than one line. Though friend, you're certainly being too gloomy about the perils of this adaptation. Kyoani are the queens of good adaptations, even when they have to make a bunch of new stuff. "Filler" isn't always bad! Davincie posted:k-on... is it a filler anime?

i mean, you've got the math laid out for yourself there. max 14-15 eps, ~4 chapters per episode. ~60 chapters out. Heck, maybe the OVA can cover the Kanna's Daily Life spin-off!

I'll likely end up editing this post to nothing too. Oh well. Vague manga spoilers ahead. The basic logic behind the fear of poor pacing comes from a particular character who has not been confirmed to appear in the anime. This character is Iruru or the third dragon to eventually join the main (not supporting) cast. Manga readers already know specific chapters will be adapted due to the confirmation of certain side characters. For example, Georgie Saikawa is confirmed to appear. She debuts in chapter 29 so we know that's getting covered. Another supporting character Shōta is also confirmed who debuts in chapter 27 so we know that chapter's covered as well. So we already knew as far in as chapter 29 was going to be covered before the anime even started airing. The character who has not been confirmed to appear first shows up in the manga at the very end of chapter 30 just one chapter later. She continues to influence the story up until she permanently joins the main cast in chapter 38 which is the first double length chapter or the equivalent of around half an episodes worth of content not that it matters. From then on she's a consistent part of the cast and from her initial debut on can't be written around without butchering the source material. Even chapters like 34 that focus on Kanna and Kobayashi have this character playing a key role before she fully joins the main cast. Remember that 4 chapter an episode pacing? The one the first two episodes had? If they avoid reaching the point where THAT character debuts they WILL have to gut the pacing and ramp up the anime original material by a significant margin at episode 8. In fact that episode on will be pretty much nothing but anime original material if they keep up the 4 to 1 pacing for the first 7 episodes and aren't going to include said character. Either that or heavy padding/filler will begin to rear their heads much sooner due to trying to pad out 29 11 page chapters over 14 episodes with the remainder being only perhaps partial AO instead of entirely so. It all comes down to whether or not Iruru is in the anime. She is nowhere to be seen in the OP or ED. If she is the 4 to 1 pacing can remain intact save for the whichever episode covers chapter 38. If she is not, well ... yeah. Kyoani is not known for being faithful to the source material and often take massive liberties with them. Ignorance is bliss.

spoilers this isn't Kyoto Animation's first rodeo and they will probably more than do the material justice.

AnoHito posted:...If this character is so drat important, what the hell makes you think they'll cut her out of the anime? If they don't get up to the chapter she shows up in I guess? She doesn't appear until like a couple of volumes in. Anyway show's been good so far and I imagine it will remain that way. Fear of poor pacing ruining an adaption is something I think most people who've really liked a work have considered upon news of an adaption, but nothing to suggest it's happening here. The scene's Kyoani have added were also all really charming so if they do decide to slow down the number of chapters per episode i'm confident whatever original content they have will also be cool + cute.

I don't think you need to be concerned about spoil-tagging or dropping intricacies on everyone. You can just say Iruru is a character who appears like 30 chapters in but she's not in the OP or ED so you're not sure if the adaption's run will include the arc where she features heavily.

An adaptation is ultimately its own thing. If Kyoani decides to slow down the pace of the story then that could very well be for the good of the show. Don't stress out too much about it recreating the manga.

I trust KyoAni to do filler that adds, not subtracts. Look at K-On. They took a fairly average comedy 4koma and turned it into a funny and uplifting take on the warm, sweet, and temporary parts of life.

# ? Jan 20, 2017 21:44 |

Also I didn't really care for most of Iruru's stuff in the book and would probably not mind the unlikely scenario of KyoAni excising her entirely
|
# ? Jan 20, 2017 21:44 |
|
Iruru isn't listed on the offiical website, which has a ton of minor characters and all the other main characters, so I think it's a safe bet she won't show up. I'd consider that a win, too; she's bad imo and the more "filler" a Kyoani adaption has the better it tends to be relative to the source. See: all of their shows ever.

I thought her arc emphasized what's so good about the manga. The chaos and degeneracy providing a foil to the gentleness of a lonely office lady and her growing makeshift family who all find a place with each other. A crazy doujin author who eases back and decides to write a cute, heart-warming story. But as much as I think it's crucial to the manga I'm not worried about the anime. Like endorph says, kyoani is super good about providing anime-original content that upholds or strengthens the ideas of the original work.

I agree with spaceflower (and endorph) entirely. If issues happen, they happen. However, they probably won't.

Iruru has a really bad design but the thing they did with her in recently translated chapters trying to be more human like, with the hands gag and stuff was decent.

I mean, it's already better than I thought, because I thought it would be 4-minutes of awful, screechy moe-comedy with stapled on dragon tails. Instead it's 22-minutes of above average moe-comedy with stapled on dragon tails. It's not amazing but it's amusing and inoffensive thus far. (Fafnir gives the best advice.)

For all the crap I give Kyoani (when I remember to), they're not bad at being faithful. And hell, when they aren't being faithful, they typically do a pretty good job still.

I am having some fun with this show. I felt better about episode 2 than 1 due to cutting back a bit on the like..as potentially amusing as it is that she got stripped while Kobayashi was drunk, I don't know if I super want that haha. It seems like it should be fun enough though.
