The series began broadcasting in Japan on January 11, 2017 and consisted of a total of 2 exciting seasons, with a total of 25 episodes and 2 OVAs.
The animation studio Kyoto Animation and the direction of the first season was in charge of Yasuhiro Takemoto, while in the second season Tatsuya Ishihara took the reins. The series is available legally on the Crunchyroll platform and has an English dub.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid introduces us to the life of Kobayashi, who is preparing for another day at work. However, upon opening the door to her apartment, she is met with an unusually terrifying sight: the head of a dragon staring at her from the other side of the balcony. The dragon immediately transforms into a cute, talented and energetic young woman dressed in a maid’s outfit, introducing herself as Tohru.
It turns out that the stoic programmer had encountered the dragon the night before on a hike in the mountains, and having nowhere to go, had offered the creature a place to stay in her home. Therefore, Tohru had arrived to accept the offer, ready to thank her savior’s kindness by working as her personal servant. Although Kobayashi feels deeply regretful for her words and hesitates to keep her promise, a mixture of guilt and Tohru’s amazing dragon skills convince Kobayashi to accept the girl.
Despite being extremely efficient at her job, the maid’s unconventional cleaning methods often end up scaring Kobayashi and, at times, generate more trouble than help. In addition, the circumstances behind the dragon’s arrival on Earth appear to be far more complex than they appear, as Tohru has intense emotions and painful memories.
To top it all off, Tohru’s presence ends up attracting several other mythical beings to his new home, bringing with him a host of eccentric personalities. Although Kobayashi does her best to handle the peculiar situation she finds herself in, nothing has prepared her for this new life with a dragon maid.
