I liked the first episode of this but watching it is like watching a horror movie, except instead of waiting on edge for a monster to jump out and startle me I'm waiting for a seven year old with beachball cronenberg nightmare tits to appear.

there's been talk that she's not going to appear in the show at all because she's not been mentioned anywhere while other later characters have.

That would make this the Ideal Adaptation

If they redesigned her it'd be fine. Her character itself isn't bad(backstory, mindset, etc), but her proportions and design are downright offensive.

It's fine to just think her boobs are too obscenely big but the "she's a kid" angle is lame and dismissive. Iruru acts like and is stated to be Tohru's peer in multiple respects, never a child. How do you even discern anything between her feet and toes as being something other than 'generic Cool body, but stumpier.' The dude is poo poo at anatomy and all of his strength is in expressive faces and lineart. I'm aware 'oppai loli' is a thing and that doesn't stop me from thinking the phrase and concept are dumb. Hestia can back me up here.
she looks like an eight year old with watermelon tits with nothing but a tarp and a thong for clothing, you're essentially making the thousand-year-old-in-a-child's-body argument here

if Kyoani can modify her terrible design to be something even remotely appropriate for tv I'd be fine with her showing up but with her original design it'd be a disaster

Not only was this adorable the bit in the uniform store where a lesson on how humans often fear and hurt things that are different is given by a woman who at the most conservative reading is still a single maid otaku who's raising a kid that isn't hers with the help of her very odd friends was actually legit sweet.

I love this dumb gay Dragon show. I never heard of the manga before but now I need to get it too.
The manga is good half the time and creepy fetishes the other half, you've been warned. So far, the show is much better.

In the manga Tohru repeatedly has "dragon-like" moments where she acts completely alien to how humans act, and even says as such that she thinks differently.

The anime, she's much less calculating.

I've been catching up on the manga and they actually made Iruru into a decent character, I'm surprised. Still a walking bundle of NWS, but the candy shop job thing and her reasons for taking it were good. Her character design's still problematic at best, but at least the author's done some good with writing for her if she's going to be sticking around.

scorching, I agree

She is Kanna-sized. That's beyond "short", that's 3,000-year-old demon in the body of a child territory. I'm not even going to post some of the official art of her(hell even one of the covers, the fourth volume, is too much) because I don't really want to get in trouble.

no, cool kyo shinja is the problem, the anime largely removes a lot of troubling things(though it still is marred by some of them, such as the aforementioned Lucoa stuff, but even that is toned down significantly) and yet retains the good atmosphere and humor of the kobayashi household.

Yeah, looking at it, there's even a shot of her staring downward at Kanna imposingly. She really doesn't look like she's supposed to really look much younger than Kobayashi or Tooru. I mean, not that this manga doesn't seem to have a problem with sexualizing kids (it very clearly does), but this character doesn't really seem to be part of it.
post some pages of the manga where iruru is shown in full anywhere not this subforum (or this thread really) and see what happens

Basically maid dragon is a fantastic series tragically marred by cool kyo shinja being a deviant sexfiend and not being able to keep his creepy fetishes out of his otherwise pretty wholesome slice of life series, that's what holds it back from being really great and an easy recommendation, and that's a huge shame
