Anime Review: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (2017)
Number of episodes: 13 + 1 OVA + 7 Specials
Plot:
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 a human girl(with horns and a long tail), who will do anything to pay off her debt of gratitude, whether Kobayashi likes it or not. The anime follows the daily life, Kobayashi, and her friends and maids.
Genre: Slice of Life, Comedy, Fantasy
Review:
The anime doesn't have an over-arching plot, but individual character arcs are sprinkled throughout. So, as the series progresses, you can see a visible growth in them. The art is nothing special, but it's very colourful, and the animation is really consistent throughout the series. The series is quite charming, and each character is very like-able, and they all don't come off as being similar, and each of them have their own personality. The opening and ending fit the theme of the series. The humour is not something that'll make you burst into laughter, but it'll make you chuckle throughout and keep you entertained. My main gripes with the series are that it has quite a bit of fan-service(nothing that'll throw you off, you won't even notice it half the time), though it's self-aware of that it has fan-service, and the ending was a little bit cheesy.
Score: 8/10.
