What Will the New Movie Be About?
Titled “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: The Next Chapter,” this upcoming film is set to continue the storyline directly following the TV anime series, delving into a significant story arc as seen in Coolkyousinnjya’s original manga. The movie promises to shine a spotlight on the character of Kanna, with the introduction of her long-lost father, and Kyoto Animation tantalizingly hints at its contents by stating, “The ordinary office worker, Miss Kobayashi, finds herself surrounded by dragons. Suddenly, there’s a new visitor for the young dragon, Kanna – to everyone’s surprise, he turns out to be Kanna’s real father.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid represents one of Kyoto Animation’s more unconventional anime series, delivering the same powerhouse entertainment that fans have come to anticipate from their other esteemed franchises.
