Miss Kobayashi s Dragon Maid: The Complete Series - DVD

'Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid' ('Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon') is a highly entertaining fantasy, yuri, slice-of-life comedy series adapted from a manga by Coolkyousinnjya, and while it does deviate from the source in places, this doesn’t make too much difference as there are no long story arcs at this point in the series. The series sees an overworked office lady accept a dragon into her life as a maid and follows the hijinks result as more dragons begin to turn up. This Complete Series set (complete for now at any rate as there is a second season scheduled for 2021 in Japan) contains all thirteen episodes of the anime, as well as the Valantinse Day/Hot Springs OVA. All the episodes in the series are very fun to watch, with my favourites being 'Summer's Staples! (The Fanservice Episode, Frankly)', that features a trip to the beach and Comiket, and 'Troupe Dragon, On Stage! (They Had A Troupe Name, Huh)' where the character put on an odd play for senior citezens.The main series includes both the English and Japanese soundtracks for the series, and while I do like the English version, I think the original Japanese is slightly better. The OVA, meanwhile, hasn’t been dubbed. Of the English cast, all of them do give reasonably good performances, with Leah Clark as Kobayashi, Jad Saxton as Kana, and Jeff Johnson as Takiya probably being the best of the bunch. While still good, I wasn’t a great fan of Jamie Marchi’s performances as Lucoa as I always imagined the character to have a more spacy voice. The animation is proficient for the most part and while there are very few action scenes in the series, the couple that it has are animated and choreographed very well.Other than the OVA, there are no special features in the two disc DVD set that I got except a couple of trailers.'Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid' is one of my favourite slice-of-life comedy series with great characters, some nice designs, and some surprisingly emotional moments. The only real problem with this set is the annoying trailer for streaming services on the first disc that I was unable to skip. Despite this, I feel that this series is easily worth a full five stars.

Bought on Amazon UK. Arrived in perfect condition, and has a paper sleeve jacket. Keep in mind, this only includes the first season, and not the second.Can confirm it's (only for) region B, and the OVA is included. Along with some shorts. Textless opening and ending songs, and trailers. There is also a reversible cover, should you want to change the look of the case.

I absolutely loved this series when it first came out so I was desperate to buy it. Unfortunately the product description says its Region A/1 only so I didn't bother buying it. Thats until I looked through the reviews and found that it is region B/2. So i finally bought this two years after being mislead by the product description. Amazing series, though I wish the OVA's had their dubs too.

If trite remarks about "the patriarchy" passes for localization these days then Funimation really is going to the dogs. You're translating a show that has implied lolicon and shotacon themes. You're not going to win brownie points by trying to insert an agenda after the fact to mitigate it.But then this is the same dubbing studio that bought the license to Interspecies Reviewers without knowing anything about it, cancelled their dub after 1 episode once they actually watched it, and pretty much made sure that it'll never have a western release on physical media even in subbed format.Rest in peace Yasuhiro Takemoto. Looking forward to Season 2 from KyoAni. Not looking forward to Funimation's "hot takes".

Want an cool "slice of life" show to watch?To chill out and enjoy?Start here. It's good, get it.

Loved this and have watched it multiple times since buying it.A great easy to watch anime with likeable characters and upbeat humour.Really hope they make more season of this.

Got mine today in the post! So happy to be able to add this to my collection. Absolutely fantastic show would definitely recommend 👌

Great DVD, comes in English/ Japanese Audio which I wasn’t expecting which is a huge plus. And is dubbed very well.Very pleased with the purchase.

I love watching this show. It’s just a lovely and feel good show. I enjoy watching a few episodes before I head to bed. I could watch easily on Funimation, but this was one of those shows I wanted a physical copy of.I’ve noticed that some people complain about the dub, but it’s done well, and pretty much the only way I watch. Some people are just too concerned about getting a 1 for 1 translation, which is impossible. I can accept some localization in the dub. And it’s not pushing an agenda as I’ve seen some reviews claim. I was disappointed that the OVA episode is not dubbed though.

Thank you

Ich fange mal mit etwas Äußerlichem an, was mir an bisherigen Rezensionen fehlt: Die Verpackung enthält zwei Blue-Rays und zwei DVDs - die Bläulinge in Bereich A und B lesbar (also in Deutschland und umzu), die DVDs sind im NTSC-Format, was deutsche Player wohl automatisch ausschließt. Vielleicht nach dem Motto: eins wird schon passen ...Nun zum Inhalt: der hat mir gut gepasst: eine unscheinbare Büroangestellte, die versehentlich einen Drachen (und dann noch ein paar mehr) kennenlernt, das ist schon speziell. Der Drache - Entschuldigung: das Drachenmädchen - geht mit Optimismus und Selbstvertrauen an das Leben in der Menschenwelt, und kuriose Dinge geschehen. Über die Episoden wird das Personal immer größer, während die Ereignisse teilweise locker auf einander aufbauend folgen. Das nimmt sich nicht alles übermäßig ernst, lässt den Zuschauer aber doch Empathie für die Hauptfiguren entwickeln. Es lohnt sich, die Episoden öfter als ein-zwei Mal zu sehen.Die Stimmen der Englisch-Synchronisation sind gut gewählt. Das Englisch dürfte Menschen mit Schulenglisch zwar gnadenlos überfordern, aber hier hat die gekaufte Scheibe natürliche Vorteile vor dem TV-Programm.Einen Negativpunkt gibt es aber doch: zwar kauft sich wohl niemand die Serie wegen der Verpackung, aber dass die Plastikteilchen schon bei vorsichtigen Berührungen ihren Zusammenhang verlieren, ist ärgerlich. Nun - nichts ist perfekt, wie wir wohl alle beim Blick in den Spiegel schon festgestellt haben.Insgesamt eine starke Empfehlung.

BDもDVDも、温泉回も○○ドラゴンもついてます。Netflixで見られるけど、日本版じゃないと京アニ支援にならないけど、本作好きなら買っておいて損はない感じ。英語音声は大変秀逸だと思います。トール、カンナ、小林さんはじめ全員ちょっとびっくりするくらいよく似た声で違和感なし。カンナちゃん声で「犬猿の仲」を英語でどういうか分かりますよ（たいしたことじゃないけども）。最後に、監督のご冥福をお祈りします。Very unfortunately, the director of this work was killed in a recent terrorist attack on Kyoto animation. One of the characters, “Kanna-Kamui”, who's most cute I think, had been directed by his daughter's behavior, I hered. She never meet her dad. I pray for the 35 souls who loved Kyo-Ani, and best wishes for healing of injured people.

Not gonna lie, this anime is one of those rare cases of being something I go to whenever my depression is at its worse. The animation is lovely, the characters are all wonderful and voiced perfectly, has my all time favorite openings to an anime ever, and it can be genuinely funny. This is slice of life with a fun twist, and while not the most action packed it still is a fun ride.
