In February 2019, a sequel series was announced for the hit anime Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, a mashup of isekai fantasy, comedy, and slice-of-life with solid themes of family and society. The premise almost reads like an otaku wishlist: What if a dragon turned into a buxom maid and lived in modern Japan? The answer, of course, is a lot of slapstick, boob jiggle, and Kobayashi talking sense into all-powerful mythical beasts. Then on July of that year, the main office of Kyoto Animation was attacked, killing the director, Yasuhiro Takemoto, among several others, in the middle of what was presumably preproduction. It could not have been easy to pick up the pieces of the preproduction work and see it through to broadcast, even with a month or two hiatus and a worldwide outpouring of support. But you get the sense that Kyoto Animation wanted to accomplish two things with this production: First, to bring the laughter and tears of good entertainment to everyone who suffered loss (particularly poignant considering the outbreak of the global pandemic less than a year after the attack), and second, to memorialize those lost in that incident. Not only did KyoAni succeed in both objectives, they delivered a production that raised the bar. I have to agree with many comments online that the fight scenes in this show easily outclass those from many action anime. The soundtrack expands on the mostly light-hearted music from season 1 to include epic battle themes and the kingdoms in the dragons' world, and the manga was followed pretty much dead-on but with the visual touch that only this studio can bring. This is the pinnacle of professionalism and perseverance in the aftermath of such tragic loss. Tatsuya Ishihara was brought on as director, and since he's directed Nichijou, Haruhi, and Clannad, I'd say he's the best guy for the task, and the results speak for themselves.

I think we all know the anime is well-received because of kyoani arts, and I'm not gonna lie, the art is beautiful! HOWEVER, is art everything in an anime? I always think people just watch this because of art and not the plot itself which is not even good. First of all, too much ecchi, with tits and some other stuff being a priority. A plot that is not even top-tier. The Shota thing is disturbing but I bet if another studio does it then you guys would be complaining non-stop. The overrated in this anime is insane based on plot or story line. I bet if kyoani has done redo the healer, that would be like 100 in popularity. We need to take kyoani out of the pedestal and try to watch beyond art

Easily the best anime I've seen recently. This show takes what's good from the first season and kicks it up a notch, especially in the art department. The frames are beautiful and detailed, and the expressions on each character are vibrant. Additionally the editing, timing of closeups, cutaways, and subtle movements of the character demonstrate the skill of the producers in telling an emotionally rich story without spelling everything out for the viewer. Also don't forget the excellent voice acting. I enjoyed every single episode of Kobayashi and co.'s adventure even more than the first season. This half of Dragon Maid focuses less on Tohru and Kobayashi's romance than the first season, leaving us without a strong throughline of plot. Instead we get a wonderful collection of short stories, with some overlapping themes. This is a perfectly good way to tell a good story, but I personally prefer a more traditional structure. Without a central story to hold the season together, the romance got rushed a bit at the end (although it did end up in a wonderful place), but it never felt insincere. All said, I think Dragon Maid S is more interesting and more charming than its predecessor, which is saying quite a lot. Anyone with an inkling of interest in slice-of-life anime should watch both seasons of Dragon Maid.

If you want to smile cheek to cheek for straight 552(+specials and ovas) minutes of extremely cute dragons, cool dragons, funny dragons, erotic dragons having fun and enjoying their peaceful lives with Tohru, the girl who tamed them all, learning how to be a human , learning to understand each other, forming bonds with each other, acknowledge their strengths, weaknesses, their love, their passions, this anime might be the best thing to watch on your free time to forget about your stressful or boring life. The unfortunate thing is you will be sad that it would get over, but hopefully Kyoto animations, whom i respect immensely for their hardwork, will make more and more seasons for this. man Kyoto animations DID NOT hold back. Have you ever seen peak action scenes in a slice of life? if you say frieren or something else, yeah actually lol u might have. And this one is one of them too. They do not compromise the quality in terms of animation, story, dialogues, songs in any moment and make you appreciate every detail of it. There were moment where i was genuinely blown away by how matured the characters were, and how relatable they were to our modern lives. It really connected with me. The one thing that creeped me out was this little girl Saikawa who GLAZES AND WORSHIPS Kanna way too much(i kinda understand cuz cmon , Kanna might be the cutest thing you would ever see), but it creeps me out cuz she makes it feel too creepy. Meh, you'll understand when you watch it. And you must. It's therapy

Having Dragon Maid back feels like a victory for anime. I think this slice of life show bringing smiles to a worldwide audience is the perfect response to the hateful crime committed against the animation studio that nearly ended this anime series for good. It's a triumph that they were able to come back and answer to that with something so defiantly cheerful. I can't even imagine what the people who helped bring this finished product to us had to go through, but the animation is as stellar as Kyoto Animation has ever been, showing they really poured a lot of love into it. I just love watching the interactions between these characters. I thought the flashback backstory stuff was mildly interesting, but honestly I don't need to know more about the fantasy land they come from or the different factions they're supposed to represent, I just like watching the funny dragons trying to do people things. Kanna continues to be adorable and steals every scene she's in, Ilulu is a fun new addition to the cast and the place where she gets a job provides a lot of new opportunities for comedy. So this homecoming for KyoAni was, I think, a huge success and a must watch for anyone who likes slice of life, comedic yuri subplots, and magically induced penis growth. 9/10

Kobayashi's Maid Dragon delivered a heartwarming and well-executed first season; it didn't lose any steam in the second. In season 2 we get a new character, Ilulu, who also comes to Earth from the Chaos Faction. However, the focus ends up not really being on her. Instead season 2 develops the existing cast to a deeper level, exploring how their past drives their motivations and their love for Kobayashi, the one who told them it was okay to be vulnerable. A critical part of why this show is able to deliver such emotional scenes, whether it's comedic or sad, is definitely the animation. KyoAni continues to show why it's one of the top dogs in the industry, sparing no expense at creating beautifully animated atmospheres and even fight scenes. Without this many scenes would fall flat or carry less impact. It's difficult to describe this show's plot as there really isn't much of one, yet somehow each episode makes you yearn for the next. You relate to these silly characters on a very human level; none of them are caricatures or unrealistic. I found myself rooting for each of their successes and happiness, like a proud parent. The comedy flows naturally without having to rely on over the top situations; the sobering scenes do as well, as this season explores more of each dragon's past. Overall, Kobayashi is a fantastic show with everything you'd want from a slice of life, and it certainly helps that the art and music is beautiful. Fans of season 1 will be delighted to continue the story with this season.

tl;dr not for me but I can see why other people might like it I finally got to watch the whole series because it was recommended to me so much and while some stuff was a bit annoying, I loved the first season so I was excited to start the second one. Sadly, the newly introduced character and the change in how the episodes are handled kind of ruins this for me, I already did not like the sexualization of Kanna and Shouta in s1 but it was so few scenes that I could just skip them and still enjoy the rest of the show. With the new character Ilulu that was introduced, that is sadly not the case any more as it ads a 3rd fanservice storyline. I normally don’t have a problem with over sexualized characters if they fit the tone of the rest of the anime which, while the first season had fanservice, I feel like Ilulu was just introduced to make sex, boob and dick jokes and adds not much else to the dynamic. While her backstory is interesting her character design is just a bit to different from the rest of the cast that it is distracting and the whole child with huge boobs design is played for laughs and sex jokes which is not my type of humor. I can admit this is just not for me: the Art and sound design are still fantastic and there are episodes and stories that I enjoy especially if the story focused on my favorites: Elma, Kobayashi and Fafnir, but I would have probably been better of watching a YouTube compilation instead of the whole season.

I'm actually quite impressed with the level of continuity this season of Kobayashi achieves. This series is a masterclass in revealing the depth and balance that animes in the SOL genre can achieve. From the memey fan service to the character and plot development that SOL animes don't usually demonstrate, the writers of this anime really do it justice by providing the anime with a beautiful balance of comedy, plot, character development and fan service. In a sense, the plot is too good as it feels lowkey rushed since it could have probably been extended as the buildup to this big revelation in episode 11 could be further extended upon by building it up in prior episodes more thoroughly. However, considering the nature of SOL, it’s understandable that it's pretty difficult to squeeze everything in and I think it’s justified in Kobayashi as it does serve as an extra layer of depth to this already stacked SOL. The fanservice and comedic scenes can sometimes be overdone whether it be Saikawa having a reaction to Kanna or Lucoa being “overly friendly” towards Shouta. However, it’s not to the extent that it’s uncomfortable and although it’s seeming intention is to brighten the mood, it can sometimes come across as too much, adding to the already bright series, however, these are justified due to the nature of the SOL genre. I don’t have much to say about the art and animation. It's all S tier and super consistent (opinion based), but I really enjoyed all the unnecessary fight scenes, and I believe the artists all worked really hard bringing all those flames, dirt, and flower petals together (esp in the final episode amongst all those cherry blossom trees). The character development towards the end is also really sweet, and I really like how they included Kobayashi’s sense of ‘unworthiness’ and unbelonging. It takes a step back from all the fantasy-like partying and sort of steps down to reality, bringing a sense of despair to the viewer as no one wishes to experience those feelings of loneliness. It’s good that they attempted to clear up these mixed feelings and took the time to talk it through. Although there is certainly untapped potential regarding the overall ‘plot’ as it could definitely be explored through the ‘other dimension’, I find that the conclusion to the series was actually quite successful in closing out all these unanswered questions (partially). I’m super impressed by the level of detail this series achieved, although the series is considered to be an SOL, the series sets itself apart by displaying an intricacy that isnt commonly seen among SOL series’. Overall, I find the series to be one of the best amongst the SOL genre, and I thoroughly enjoyed being introduced to all the characters of the series and getting to be a part of watching.

(!!!!!!THIS MAY CONTAIN LIGHT SPOILERS!!!!!!) "Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon", the highly successful and popular animated comedy series, is back again with a new season, "Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon S"! Just like the first season, this season still maintains the right combination of heart and humor to draw crowds into it. And of course, the characters we all love are still there as adorable as ever! This time we are introduced to some new characters, However, the most important of them is Ilulu, who eventually end up living with miss Kobayashi just like Tohru and Kanna. Not only does this season offer us the present and daily life of miss Kobayashi and her community, but it shows us the past and secrets of so many characters which make the characters look so much deeper and you can't help but end up sympathizing with them. It is also worth mentioning that, the series has surprisingly shown us some worthwhile characters development. Oh did I not mention the outstanding art and animation? Hopefully, the anime didn't decline in visual quality at all! In fact, it is gotten better. The combat scenes and animation were extra marvelous 🔥 Anyway, if you liked the first season of "Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon", this sequel isn't by anyway inferior! In fact, I enjoyed it more than the first season. So, If you liked the first season definitely give this a shot🔥! Enjoy💖

Purposely,I'll touch about Kyoto Animation arson attack. It is sad news. Way of saying may be wrong, talented producers was killed by a man. About man stop talking. A important part is a recovery. We can guess that this work is good as second starting for Kyoto Animation. New character, Ilulu is a tame and not violent by Kobayashi, but beginning was violent. Main characters is changed for a person. Its change is good or no……? it doesn't know. For, example Fafnir is not charging by Kobayashi. He was changing by hobby and a little Takiya. A human being is weak. In the dragon's world , it is same. They thought that human beings was something interesting, but it is just. And, they were attacked to "interesting" part of human beings. It was just a hobby for the dragon. For one dragon, it was a person. For one dragon, it was foods. It is all made by human beings. Everyday continues. Opening was also great for me. Actually, I heard full many times during 2021's summer. "All living things are like message. Please cast on my future forever show me it. When you hold hands with me I feel like I love you."

What should I say hmmm… ok Ngl I’m surprised that I enjoy season 2 of Dragon Maid a lot unlike the 1st season. For me the first season for me is just good because most of them is just about our character everyday life but in this season somehow KyoAni manage to make it so good. Like I never thought an anime about human and dragon interaction have a very good character development, storyline, lore. And I heard from a lot of manga reader KyoAni do a lot of anime original scene to improve the story so it not just bland comedy. Props to KyoAni Also, I really wanna talk about the animation, like wth KyoAni even after the tragic arson attack the animation for this season is even better than before. Even the fight scene can put 95% action/shounen genre anime on shame lol. But even if we not talk about the fight scene, Dragon Maid still have the best animation for this season, the detail, visual quality in every episode WOW and almost like a movie quality. And all of this was made by a new team animator after most of the senior animator quit :( Last but not least, THANKS KYOANI and happy for your comeback. Looking foward for more season and anime projects

July 18th, 2018. Motivated by a “plagiated scene” in another Kyoto Show, a man (if we can actually call it like that) decided to ruin many people´s life by attacking their main studio. The studio burned out and 36 lives were tragically lost. The huge damage gave Kyoto Animation, the joyful and colorful that wondered their viewers, a very hard time. But the studio didn´t fall apart. It stood back again and decided to keep active, with many of the original workers still there. The bravest act they could do. Kobayashi-San Season 2 was their first proyect after the tragedy. The most logical thing is that it wouldn´t be the same, the art style would be difficult to recreate with new animators, the characters and story would feel different because of the different people in charge, and many other things… luckily they were all wrong. I´ve started watching the entire series a month ago, and can confirm there are absolutely no changes. The sound was amazing, the characters felt as unique as before, the story was again entertaining and the art style and animation, probably one of Kyoto´s main attractive, got even better. And most importantly, the vibes are still the same and the series is very enjoyable for everyone. In conclusion, Kobayashi-san Season 2 is a very great anime, and I´m glad it could finally be done for us to enjoy. But personally, I think the message Kyoto gave to us is even more important and wonderful. Do never give up. Stand up and do what you do the best to make everyone smile again. And I hope they keep doing it for a lot more time. Thank you Kyoto. Story: 8/10 Art: 9/10 Sound: 8/10 Character: 8/10 Enjoyment: 9/10 Overall: 8.3/10  8/10 Should you watch it? Of course you should.

Dragons..... Dragons are pretty awsome. My favorite movie from my childhood is called "How to train your dragon". But dragons are mostly depicted in Europe as these big beast who breath fire. In chinese mythology they are depicted as these long but very wise creatures, and in Japan? They are cute anime maids, yes I am not joking. This anime is my favorite anime of this season. At first glance it looks like your typical harem show where there these girls with massive breast and zero personality but your wrong, dead wrong in fact. This anime surely subverts the harem genre because the one with a harem is a woman, and she is not surround by guys. Nope only lustful dragons with lots of personality. So this is one of the few scenarios where bot the male/female watchers win. But this show isnt only ass or tits but rather just extremely adorable or enjoyable. Well you could see some scenes as that, in the grand scheme of things I dont really think I watch this show because of that. This show has a way of writing that is both unique and compelling. The relations of these characters like Thoru and Elma are extremely well written that most shonen like Demon Slayer struggle at. Yes a SOL has better writing then most shonen i am dead serious. But not only that the characters in this show are also extremely awsome. They all have some quirks and very distinctive personalities and all diferent but amazing designs. And I know that some of these characters may not be your cup of tea because of their design or their personality. But I really like them all, and yes even Fafnir. The way how the author writes these characters are just mostly interactions between characters and some times some sort of backstory to flesh a character out. Luckily the author knows that backstories arent the only way to write your characters unlike an other show. But for Example the newly introduced character Ilulu that had a "special" design. I already liked  her after like 2 episodes becuase of the interactions she had with the characters and she blends in with the cast very well. The other characters like Kanna are as cute as ever and the other characters are just as fun as last season. This anime does expand their universe in meaningful ways and its also fun to see characters like Kanna in NY because she had a fight with Koboyashi, lol these scenarios are so random but still makes lots of sense regarding the anime we are watching. This is one of the few animes that made wednesday a better day then friday. All because of this anime with dragon Waifu's and fun adventures that subvert the echi genre to the point where it doesnt seem right to say this show is indeed an echi. But I did enjoy it a lot. And I mean a lot, I am truely happy for seeing this show back from its former glory. Talking about how this show looks and feels, its fantastic. The fights are so epicily animated that this show is just a middle finger to most shonen fights. The lightning truely captures the SOL feeling and the background looks amazing as hell. The water effects are also pretty cool and the faces are extremely expressive and how everything looks its just damn clean really amazing. Talking about voice actors and the songs this show just doesnt hold back at all. All the actors have amazing voices and totally suite their character. Well I normally I am not the biggest fan of both Op's and Ed's but this show had both absolute bangers. Its pretty much inspired by "Blend S" but still I really like them. Maybe my favorite ending of this season. The OP  is a hard choise because of the masterpiece called [Analogy], but I still really liked the "Ai No Supreme". Ok the rap part is also epic I forgot. I give this anime a 9 Thoru's dragon Tails out of 10. Damn, this show is refreshing... This is my review thx for reading.... -For those who lost their live in the Kyoto fire, Rest in Peace. You wont be forgotten-

Those who watched the first season of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid will have few problems imagining how this one plays out – while introducing an extra chaos dragon to the main cast, it generally plays things extremely safe, arguably with even fewer major events and drama, and more lighthearted tone. This means, it's even more of a slow slice-of-life anime and will appeal mostly to fans of the genre. That being said, there are some improvements from season one. I found the fanservice a bit less obnoxious here, with Lucoa in particular receiving some subtle character development and fun scenes outside of being a one giant sexual harassment joke. And in general, "subtle character development" is the name of the game here. While not much changes at first glance, you can genuinely feel the relationships between Kobayashi and Tohru, and between Tohru and Elma mature. We get more backstory and insight into the other world, showing a lot more depth to the whole chaos/harmony divide and the way both sides treat each other. And everything on top of that is still beautifully drawn, cute and funny – just good times all throughout. If I had to nitpick, I'm not sure the new lore was as profound as it tried to be and the whole season lacks super-memorable moments on the level of Tohru's battle with her father. It's solid all-thruoghout, but never reaches the epic, 10/10 territories. Also, the yuri stays as ambiguous as ever, while I hoped for a slightly stronger punchline in this regard. For fans of the series though, it's a solid 9/10.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S is a direct sequel of the first season and explores more about how our favourite maid, as well as other dragons from her world, continue to adjust to the human world. I'll assume you've seen the first season for the purposes of this review. Story & Character: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S doesn't take long to get going and, right away, introduces us a new dragon to our cast, Ilulu. She's very aware to how Tooru is living with a human and does everything in her power to get in the way. Past this, much of the story then takes time to show us how all of the supporting cast from the first season are doing. Everyone gets a fair bit of a screen time and they mix up who appears in each arc quite a bit. I really liked how they went about this because it's never focused on one particular character too much. One character may be focused on in a couple episodes back to back, but maybe we see three others interacting within the same few episodes. It's really well done and how character-focused stories really should about their story structure. We see a very healthy amount of screen time given to each of our characters, whether they are dragon or human. Even Tooru's father and Mr. Magatsuchi get some screen time, which I certainly wasn't expecting. Our characters, human and dragon alike, continue to develop, with Tooru and Kobayashi obviously being the focus in the first few and final few episodes. Watching the dragons, in particular, learn more and more about human world adds so much to their character, such as Elma wanting to improve Kobayashi's working conditions and Fafnir wanting to give his works another try. Lucoa wasn't a character I was terribly enamored with in the first season, and I'd say she gets less screen time here. Ilulu is the main new addition to this series and past the first few episodes, she's not too heavily involved in the story. I mostly liked where they took her character, and she's yet another dragon who wants to learn more about the human world. What pushes this is her backstory, which was really nicely laid out to us. The finale to this series is absolute perfection. I'm a bit of a sucker for series that involve the particular setting that they went for before the final scene, and they clearly take their time with this, which I really appreciated. There are times when the series gets a little too silly and heavy on fan-service, especially when Ilulu gets involved and might be my real only criticism that I have for the story itself. (Story: 9/10, Characters 9/10) Art: It still amazes me at the kind of detail a series that isn't action-focused has on it's action scenes. It's extremely impressive, though maybe I shouldn't be with Kyoto Animation's reputation being on the rise, as of late. Even the main poster looks amazing, possibly the prettiest I've seen on MAL to date. It really goes to show going the extra mile is worth it. (10/10) Sound: The OST is fine though I wouldn't say many of the tracks stood out. I wasn't really a fan of either the OP or ED. Voice cast were, once again, very strong with Sarah Wiedenheft (Tooru) still being the standout. Newcomer Kristi Rothrock (Ilulu) was a welcomed addition, someone whose work I'm actually really unfamiliar with. Macy Anne Johnson (Shouta) replaced Alison Viktorin after the latter's retirement, but this was a seamless transition. (9/10) Overall Enjoyment: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S is a successful sequel to the well-liked Dragon Maid season that came before it. It's characters are fantastic and watching them adjust to the world of the humans is a joy to watch. It's really hard for me to pinpoint if I liked the first or second season more because they both had such a strong showing. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing! As wacky as the plot for Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S sounds, give it, and it's prequel a try if you haven't seen it! (9/10)

In my opinion, this season is definitely a much better season than the first one. First of all, it answers (almost) all the questions I had after watching the first season. The character's stories make how they act in this season and the one before make much more sense. The anime isn't too predictable, which is something that in my personal opinion, enjoy. The characters are amazing and have their own unique personality and quirks that aren't too overdone (unlike the first season.) Definitely a good anime to watch if you want to watch an anime that is wholesome, sometimes emotional, and a tiny bit of action in it. This is for you. Oh, and how can I not mention the controversial character Ilulu (or however you spell it.) She's a great character, her personality is that of a child, but at the same time, it's that of an adult. I can definitely see how her debut was controversial but I personally don't care. She adds an extra element to the story that cannot be shown in the first season. It's overall a very funny, nice to watch when you have nothing to do, relaxing, interesting anime to watch. Definitely reccomend!

I've never made an easier decision in my life than rating this show 10/10. I love moe. I love Kyoto Animation. I love Dragon Maid. And I was given exactly what I wanted! The term "limited animation" is tossed around a lot when referring to anime. But watching this one, it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. Stills don't exist in KyoAni land. Every corner is filled with unique, stylish character animation, from smears to weird style changes to ridiculous Nichijou-level sakuga. And the quality never, ever drops. Infectious soundtrack, awesome performances by the entire cast. Ilulu is a great addition to the lineup and fills her own niche. And at the heart of it all, a sugar-sweet slice of life story that is still able to get dramatic at appropriate points. Stellar pacing. Moe at its finest. Thank you KyoAni.

From the start I thought that this anime would be a good sequel because the story was light, there were new characters that made the comedy in this anime more pronounced. In this sequel, the past of the dragons has been explained so that the fans' questions have been answered. For the image quality in this anime, in my opinion, there is no significant change. I really like the opening song in this anime because it has good animation and a good song to listen to. For the ending song, I don't think there is a problem. I hope this anime continues to season three

Kyoto Animation. What does that mean to you? Personally, I think that name is in association with a studio that has freedom in their work, or in particular, originality and creativity, even within adaptations that aren’t their own materials. The treatment The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya received is one of the reasons I favour it. Their identity in Hyouka rather gave me mixed receptions, and that’s one amongst the evidences that Kyoto Animation isn’t perfect. However, it’s genuine to say that I’m still in favour of their unoriginal works, and why shouldn't I? Returning to Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, the first season was such a phenomenom. With just a little adjustment in comparison to the source, they had done wonder. The animation was fun to watch, quite lovely, and above all else, the anime clearly had progression. With such mindset from the prequel, I had expected its successor to maintain that flow for a while, and let the introduction of a new character be the twist leading to the end, though we wouldn’t have to make drastic changes. It would be just temporarily taking Iruru out of the equation, letting others develop their own relationships beforehand, and setting the latter half as the stage for the newbie to shine. In reality, the adaptation was just more or less the same as its parental content, and if I had to describe the progress in this season, it would be sitting on a rollercoaster that has a long and winding ascending, whose fall isn’t exactly equivalent to the ride it took. More visually, Phineas and Ferb’s at a fair. Iruru made her debut, but within that plentiful of the crew, her blending in wasn’t highlighted, either. The others, they had their moments, but their growth was just a bunch of scattered pieces, particularly the ship of Tohru x Elma. Oh well, as an entertainer, it sold, and in term of adapting, Kyoto Animation took all the right moves, so that is just my nonsensical opinion about their creative department, not to mention the available set of cards was certainly harder to align, and Kyoto Animation was not Yugi Mutou, either. Sounding and artistry are always the impression of the studio, since we got plenty of plots, and the characters and animation were lively as hell. The soundtrack, nevertheless, is not catchy as that of the predecessor. I found this particular season amusing, but I also don’t prefer how things were going. Along with the big disappointment of Violet Evergarden The Movie, I believe the creative team has yet recovered from that disastrous incident and the loss of Naoko Yamada and Yasuhiro Takemoto. Hope they will do better in the future, as Kyoto Animation is always a studio of my preference.
