You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA



Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is the latest Kyoani show. It's based off of a cute gag manga where an office lady gets drunk and invites a dragon back to her home. This dragon promptly becomes her maid and falls in love with her, and comedy ensues.

And they adopt another dragon, and it's super, super charming. :3:

PV here.



edit: New rule: please spoiler-tag any manga spoilers. Thank you!

hosed up the thread subtitle isn't D for Dragon.

also, TIL the original title was already a portmanteau (メイドラゴン: meidoragon) and the scanlation/localization both split it apart for some inane reason

This show is real good, and in a shocking twist, kyoani is very good at making shows that are very pretty while still being super faithful to the source. And not only that, but the added scenes fit in perfectly.

I came in expecting bad, instead I got good, I got very very good. I love these gay dragon animes.

Yeah, I was kinda put off by the first episode. Especially the scene where Kobayashi stripped Tooru in public and screamed at her to be more embarrassed. But this episode won me back

Drunk Kobayashi is kinda crazy.

I mean, she saved a dragon's life and invited it to live with her while trashed, so.

This show reminds me of Tanaka-kun, I liked the first ep well enough but the second episode completely sealed the deal.

Yeah that scene was not in the manga from what I remember and is the one added scene I don't like, plus it's not in character for Kobayashi. The rest have been great and totally fit.

I think it was from what I can recall, with maybe a few differences. Not a great scene in either medium though.

The chapters the latest episode adapted were when the manga really started hitting for me though, and if anything I think the anime improved on these chapters a little. Kyoani is really nailing the emotional moments between the character, which were probably my favourite parts of the original anyway. It's super cute. :3:

She's more like a force of nature when she's drunk. In the manga, we find out that Tohru had a magical sword stuck in her when Kobayashi first met her. Kobayashi shouldn't have been able to pull the sword out of her, or even touch it without going insane, but at the time she was too drunk to know or care about that and removed it without any problem.

The second episode, is Good

There better be a lot of Kanna. KyoAni add the Kanna scenes

However, having three threads makes me feel bad for the dragons and/or maids whose threads I am not currently posting in

Alpha Kenny Juan
Apr 11, 2007

This thread is the Tohru thread where things are cool and good.

The 'better than you think' thread is the Kobayashi thread where there is discussions and thinking involved. Also drunkposting.

The small maid dragon thread is the Kanna thread, with all things small sized.

e: What would a fafnir thread look like? :stare:

Don't listen to his lies! This is the one true cannon thread, as evidenced by the fact that it has the best title and I don't feel like following three different threads.

Also I wouldn't doubt KyoAni's ability to make good SoL anime.

Indeed, I would put good odds on the anime turning out better than the manga.
