Whether you’re totally new to the series or revisiting it before the upcoming movie, here’s the recommended viewing order that’ll make your heart flutter (and make you laugh out loud too)! ❤️🔥
| Order | Title | Type | Why You Should Watch It This Way |
|---|---|---|---|
| ① | Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid (Season 1) | TV Series | Start here — this is the foundation! It introduces Kobayashi, Tohru, and the whole chaotic dragon crew. You’ll laugh, you’ll feel, and you’ll get hooked 🐲✨ |
| ② | Valentine’s Day & Hot Springs! (OVA / Episode 14) | OVA | A sweet little bonus that continues from Season 1. You can skip it, but honestly? It’s wholesome and funny, especially the hot spring part! 💌♨️ |
| ③ | Kobayashi-san Chi no OO Dragon | Short Specials | These are mini character-focused episodes. Not required for the story, but they add cute flavor and are fun if you love the cast 🧁💬 |
| ④ | Mini Dragon (Mini Dora) | Short Series | A series of tiny, adorable shorts released before Season 2. Watch them anytime! They’re a great palate cleanser and perfect between longer episodes 🐣🎈 |
| ⑤ | Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S (Season 2) | TV Series | The second season builds beautifully on Season 1 — deeper emotions, more dragons, and stronger bonds. Expect action, laughs, and even some tears 😭❤️ |
| ⑥ | S OVA: “Super Tohru” & “Lucoa’s Wild Day” | OVA | Takes place after Season 2. It’s wacky and fun — not essential, but fans will appreciate the extra dragon time 🦸♀️🌈 |
| ⑦ | Movie: A Lonely Dragon Wants to Be Loved | Theatrical Film | Scheduled for release on June 27, 2025! From what we know, it focuses on Kanna. Watch it last for maximum emotional impact 💫🎬 |
💡 Why This Order?
Watching the show in release order is also chronological, so you won’t get lost. Each season builds naturally on the previous one. By following this sequence:
- You’ll fully appreciate the character growth (especially Tohru, Kanna, and Kobayashi’s bond).
- You’ll feel the emotional weight of the story as the comedy turns into something more meaningful.
- The OVAs and shorts, while optional, give a nice breather and deepen your love for the characters 💖
📝 Pro Tips from a Fan:
- 💤 Short on time? You can skip the shorts (③ & ④), but they’re worth checking out if you fall for the characters.
- 💕 Want maximum feels? Don’t skip the OVAs! They may look “extra,” but they’re packed with heart.
- 🍿 Ready for the movie? Rewatching Seasons 1 & 2 before the 2025 film will make the emotional moments hit way harder.

🌏 Watching Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid on Japanese Streaming Platforms – What International Fans Should Know
If you’re outside of Japan and want to explore platforms like dAnime Store or U-NEXT to watch Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, here are a few things to keep in mind! 📝
⚠️ Things to Consider Before Watching from Overseas:
| Point | What You Need to Know |
|---|---|
| 🌐 Geo-restrictions | Most Japanese streaming services are region-locked. You’ll need a VPN set to Japan to access them. |
| 💳 Payment | Many platforms require a Japanese credit card or payment method. Some services accept PayPal or international cards, but not always. |
| 🈚 Subtitles | Japanese platforms usually do not provide English subtitles. Shows are in Japanese audio without subs. |
| 📱 App & Website Language | The UI and navigation are entirely in Japanese, so some basic reading skills or translation tools (like Google Lens) can help. |
💡 Friendly Tips
- If you’re comfortable with Japanese, these platforms often have the most complete catalogs.
- For non-Japanese speakers, we recommend sticking to platforms like Crunchyroll, Hulu, or Funimation for easier access and English subtitles.
- Still want to try Japanese services? U-NEXT offers a free trial, and dAnime Store is anime-focused and budget-friendly!
