Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Season 2, produced by Kyoto Animation, acts as a direct sequel to the original in 2017. Directed by Tatsuya Ishihara, he is best known for directing various Kyoto Animation anime such as Clannad. Season one director Yasuhiro Takemoto also shared the bill for the director after his untimely death due to the tragedy of the studio arson. In addition, season two of Dragon Maid also marks Kyoto Animation's return to anime production after the disaster in 2019.

The second season of Dragon Maid has an uphill task in following up on the surprises that occurred at the end of the first season. It does not discuss any of the events that happened at the end of the first season but moves on to better, more important things. Typically, the story is a slice of life anime like the series is one of two types. It doesn't share any visible connection, is primarily a stand-alone entity, and the storyline connects all the episodes. The second season combines elements of such a storytelling style as many new characters have to be introduced. Also, the second season has the benefit of inheriting a beloved world that has become a functioning entity again. Functionally, that means the second season can't go wrong in the plot even if it tries because all the prerequisites for a fantastic piece of life are already established.

The series is very mixed, not in the wrong way. In one case example, the episode is less interesting than the other. In particular, episodes such as the adventures of Kanna and Comiket feel less important. They need more attention because they are episodes dedicated to side characters only related to the main storyline. That means that season two's definite sinusoidal in episode quality is still no bad episodes. Every episode is at least good, but not great. In various highlights, the confrontation between Elma and Tooru becomes one of the main threads of parameters in the series. However, all such threads are not of the same quality. Overall, the second season's plot is perfect, with bright but dull spots spread evenly. However, each episode is at least worth watching and more than any audience can tell about most anime in general.

In season two, it's no different when it comes to highlights. Every character has at least some time to shine, except Fafnir. Kobayashi and Tooru handle their relationship with each other. Of course, they make one of the best couples ever for an anime. A lot has to be said about the only new character introduced in the season, namely Ilulu. Ilulu became one of the critical factors why most people dropped the series for specific reasons. She massively grows in the audience as the story progresses. Kyoto Animation also introduces more intricacies of her characters. However, her appearance only seems to have happened because Kanna was too young for her original character, a dragon who never really lived a child's life.

The secondary characters like Shouta are all shown in the same surprising amount of time. It's incredible when considering his popularity as a character but understandable once the audience assumes that he's a kid who won't have much time for adventure. What the audience saw in these characters was great. Elma also gets a lot of development with Tooru as their backstory is revealed. The dynamics shared between the two became one of the twists for the second season. Overall, the season of the series got it right by most of the characters and was a bright spot from start to finish.

If not the best, Kyoto Animation is one of the best anime studios ever; even if most people are ready to give them a break after the tragedy, they are swinging back with the series. Almost better than the previous studies have done when it comes to every frame of the second season, which is crafted in meticulous detail. Being a statement that resonates throughout the narrative, the episode, in particular, deserves a lot of credit as the studio worked hard to animate it and make it the masterpiece of their comeback. The studios outdid themselves with that one. Despite not being as consistent as the first season, the second season of Dragon Maid has better highs. Overall, it's just as good as the first series.
