Is this not on Crunchyroll?

marioquartz2026-01-20 17:48

In Netflix USA dont appear, but if you search it is detected as a suggestion. Is too son or what?

theshinycelebi2026-01-20 18:20

It's out on the torrent site, so the discussion thread goes up.

CrimsonGear802026-01-20 18:31

seriously?? it should go up when it's officially released. not everyone goes the torrent route.

messem102026-01-20 18:36

Generally they’re one and the same as the [REDACTED] sites can’t create things out of the ether.

metadun2026-01-20 18:39

Netflix's anime account posted release schedule that has it today, plus it must be out there somewhere for the torrents to get it. Might not be in the US yet, but it's streaming somewhere. We might have to wait for crunchyroll here.

theshinycelebi2026-01-20 18:44

I mean, it is the highest possible quality currently and has the highest tier of global availability, circumventing regional licensing restrictions. I think this is fine.

JoelMahon2026-01-21 10:28

not everyone is insufferable either but we're still allowed to reply to you

CrimsonGear802026-01-21 10:34

Ok guy who pirates anime

Fools_Requiem2026-01-20 19:44

I love that the bots can source from Torrent sites, but we're not allowed to know which one so we can use it for stuff that isn't available legally anywhere...

darkmacgf2026-01-20 20:20

Isn't there just the one torrent site everyone uses for anime?

SwampyBogbeard2026-01-20 20:32

There was one other one by the devs of a popular manga site.
It's mostly used by smaller translators who couldn't get an upload-approved account on the big one, though.

I remember getting the second Princess Principal movie with subs there weeks before it got a discussion thread on /r/anime.
That was literally the only time I used it though, so I even can't remember the name.

Fools_Requiem2026-01-20 21:18

Wouldn't know. We're not allowed to talk about it here.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-20 19:07

I'm wondering if Netflix has rights only in other countries. I saw something that it would be on Netflix in the Philippines for instance. I am pretty sure Crunchyroll has US streaming rights.

CrazeRage2026-01-20 17:59

freaking FINALLY

realrimurutempest2026-01-20 18:04

Beautiful movie.

Kanna’s VA Maria Naganawa did an absolutely fantastic job.

Necessary-Gain-50042026-01-22 05:17

personally having a shitty childhood made this more tearful than it should be. amazing writing

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-20 18:30

Man, KyoAni never misses do they? This was a pretty fun movie. Kanna’s so cute! She’s even more adorable when she’s angry eating or writing angry letters lol. I’m glad we got to learn more about her upbringing and her family.

I also liked the whole Azad dragon war thing because we got to see Momma Kobayashi kick ass. Azad was a bit of a cliched villain but I did pity him in the end.

So is there gonna be a new Dragon Maid series? I don’t remember if they announced anything other than the movie.

Kirosh22026-01-20 19:09

Well, Kyoani has **[Sparks of Tomorrow](https://myanimelist.net/news/55377237)** for 2026 and **Ruri Dragon** for 2027 or even later. And Sound! Euphonium: The Final Movie, for 2026 as well.

So with their latest movie done (One that at least isn't a recap with most of the work already done), they could have enough hands to do another series for 2026 or 2027.

But we will have to wait to know for sure.

PM_ME_SILLY_KITTIES2026-01-21 13:15

I'm really hoping so. I **need** more dragon maid

CrimsonGear802026-01-20 18:30

streaming where??

Own-Feedback89152026-01-20 18:51

What is this

Twigling2026-01-20 18:52

Note that, from what I can find, this is currently only available on Netflix in South Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore.

charredchord2026-01-20 19:17

Thanks.
I was flipping VPN servers like crazy looking for one that had it.

JoelMahon2026-01-21 10:26

only *legally available

Twigling2026-01-21 10:31

Hah - yes, good point. I'll wait for a legal stream though.

M1R41M2026-01-21 12:03

I see it on HK Netflix too

its never been more over than it is right now

[](#heavydrinker)

Gym_Weeb2026-01-20 19:21

Think this is only for Asian regions, I’m pretty sure CR has the rights in the U.S and other territories.

atropicalpenguin2026-01-20 20:55

Yo, super happy that it is on Netflix, I figured I would have to wait for fan subbers.

BrussianPlue2026-01-20 22:18

There's a movie??? I know what I am doing tonight.

VeryPixelated2026-01-20 22:33

Such a beautiful movie. This brings me so much nostalgia because it was the first anime I ever watched and introduced me to anime. I honestly thought I'd never see it again after the incident. Simply lovely...

Any-Computer-40532026-01-20 23:47

Is it not released worldwide in Netflix? No info on this?

MayonakaMadaraka2026-01-20 23:56

An absolute gem. A reflective catalyst.

Viktorv222026-01-21 01:25

Really liked this movie! Not as much as the season 2 personally... I want more fluff and less sad stuff from this series :)

Hopefully S3 is on a radar sometime after Ruri Dragon.

^Minor ^nitpick ^about ^the ^movie ^though, ^did ^anyone ^else ^notice ^lack ^of ^soundtrack ^in ^most ^of ^the ^movie? ^It ^was ^sometimes ^quite ^distracting. ^Weird ^thing.

Elimin8r2026-01-21 01:34

I really enjoyed seeing this one in the theater. Hopefully it will come to CR sometime soon so that we can all enjoy it.

*****

The movie with a lot of heart that I needed right now. Not a perfect happy ending, but as with life, it's a work in progress.

It's a fantastically pretty movie. I'd watch it again right now if it wasn't the middle of the work week.

Elma and Fafnir coming out against fifty-to-one odds with their hair a little mussed was quite a demonstration of relative power levels. Tohru gets the most kinetic fights between the aerial combat and pro wrestling with Kimun.

Heart *and* brains saves the day, though.

mysterybiscuitsoyeah2026-01-21 05:14

the high production values (and imo, less "weirdness" than normal Dragon Maid which was one of my concerns) made for a very enjoyable time. Some bits were a bit *anime movie* for me, and the villain was also a bit *eh*.

Everyone pretty much got a moment to show off though, though Elma compratively had the least to do (she did get her moment in S2); Ilulu put up a very solid shift too, and Lucoa just casually reminds us how OP she actually is.

Probably the most action ive ever watched from kyoani, and boy do they deliver on the goods.

SYZekrom2026-01-21 05:10

I'm not even that big of a fan of the main show itself. But this was an absolutely beautiful movie. I don't mean visually (Well it's also beautiful visually as well), but this managed to portray something as common of a theme as a child wanting a more emotionally attached parent masterfully. Seeing Kana act more "sapient" as a person instead of being a moeblob pet-like gag character is also amazing, with emotion, attitude, attachment to things. I think I just always like the gap of a character like Kana becoming involved and being depicted like a real person.

Wayland22026-01-21 06:38

Will eventually get to watching this. Did Netflix seriously shadow drop this in east Asia while Crunchyroll is silent and giving no real release date?

M1R41M2026-01-21 18:45

apparently so. I didn’t even notice it had been released until I started scrolling on Netflix

Mathmango2026-01-21 10:50

How much of the series do I need to watch to catch up here? I only watched the two seasons.

PM_ME_SILLY_KITTIES2026-01-21 13:14

That'll get you completely caught up. This movie takes place after season 2 / the OVAs

Eliv2026-01-21 13:40

A very nice movie, a more serious arc than anything before on Kobayashi's Maid Dragon but still very enjoyable.

_BMS2026-01-21 13:45

Really well animated, though they sorta contradict the message of the movie at the end.

Lucoa and Tooru kinda just ended it with an indifferent "tough luck that dragons killed your family, one day you'll get over it", which is kinda the same cold indifference that all the main cast were criticizing Kimun for.

They could've done more with Azad considering the backstory they gave him leading to a somewhat understandable reason for his bloodlust.

Kormael2026-01-21 14:03

Lucoa calling him out saying he never chose to save anyone seemed to hit him hard

Delicious_Diarrhea2026-01-22 11:04

I mean he clearly wanted to save his sister? I wonder if they are saving his story for the future or something. How did he even survive a fire blast to the face.

justhereforpogotbh2026-01-24 06:46

Except he's not justified, because he's trying to take revenge on all dragons, indiscriminately, over what a horrible thing one dragon had done to him.

If an animal such as a lion, a shark, an elephant or even a dog were to kill someone you love, would you make it your life's mission to kill every member of that animal species? Bc that's basically what happened to Azad and what he was looking to accomplish.

His trauma is justified, but his actions aren't.

noam_good_name2026-01-24 19:03

i feel like keeping him alive is part of the point. he believes dragons are incapable of change, which is proved demonstrably wrong since tohru grew to learn to fight for others and kamui learned to care for his daughter. killing him would be the dragon thing to do, so instead she challenged him to do what she is capable of: grow as a person.

AdvancedPlayer172026-01-21 15:17

Wait new Dragon Maid content?

imverysorry_ok2026-01-21 22:00

Your like a year late . It was release last year in Japan and now in netflix but only in certain countries. Hope you have a VPN

AdvancedPlayer172026-01-21 22:13

A year? Time passes fast

Atario2026-01-21 19:32

Holy crap, that was wall-to-wall eye candy! [](#awe)

Not to mention, it had so much heart. Kyoani delivers every time [](#kannathumbs)

zer0number2026-01-21 19:55

The main takeaways/observations from this for me:

1. Kobayashi seemed a bit more girly than in the show. She had a few more 'girl' outfits and I swear they drew her more curvy (not in the important parts, though) than in the show. I assume this is because more budget = more time = more pencil action.
2. Also, that scene of Kobayashi with Kanna sitting on her lap. I love their relationship so much.
3. Watching Kanna fight was freaking amazing. I love her adorable side, but reminding us that she's a badass dragon was really cool.
4. I don't think I have ever seen Ilulu in shorts before, and it seemed... weird? She wears pants when working at the candy store, but the shorts were something new.
5. Lucoa with her eyes open. Right into my soul.
6. Tohruu is perfect as usual, but that airal battle was great.

I do hope this got a great reception because I really do want more seasons, given some of the cool story arcs that are in the manga.

imverysorry_ok2026-01-21 22:04

Sooo I guess we can all agree the movie is out in netflix ( certain countries) Sooo we can conclude that it could be uploaded to a website non of you should visit because very bad no no site to watch free movies

Delicious_Diarrhea2026-01-22 10:51

So I'm probably in the minority but I thought Kimun was a really compelling character. Kana's adorable human form does a lot of heavy lifting for her, but like the show reiterates multiple times dragons of all ages are expected to pull their weight and they don't have the nurturing parental bond that humans do.

Imagine if at your work the CEO's 30 year old daughter destroys crucial infrastructure and puts everyone's jobs in danger. Wouldn't you be pissed at that person? Now imagine if this endangers your actual life instead of just your job. Kana's prank doesn't seem so cute and innocent now does it.

But of course since the theme of the series is "dragons are just like us", Kimun changes his mind in the end. What's ironic is that in the end when Tohru and Lucoa cornered Azad they basically told him to get over the fact that dragons killed his family. Their criticism that he "didn't have anyone to protect" clearly makes no sense as he obviously wanted to protect his sister. So in the end the moral of the story is might makes right? A weird conclusion to the story and they should have expanded on this last bit more.

ShinjiArakawa2026-01-22 15:48

I thought Kimun was absolutely awesome 👌
Regarding Azad; I thought it was clear they were referring to his current actions, that he wasn't trying to protect anyone now so he's no saviour.
And Tohru tells him straight out Kobayashi changed her way of thinking and hopes he meets someone like that (in other words, hoping he gets the opportunity to live well again).

Could they have done a bit more? I suppose, but it was more than enough for me.

Delicious_Diarrhea2026-01-22 21:29

In a way if they meant he's not protecting anyone now makes it worse. No duh when someone close to you get murdered you would focus on vengeance. If Kobayashi died you know Tohru would go apeshit too.

ShinjiArakawa2026-01-22 16:01

Well, I absolutely loved that. Characters were all brilliant, well thought out and written.
Kimun imo was perfect, imo; showing very clearly that in the dragon framework he's not a 'bad' guy.

Only once he is introduced to the new concept could we start evaluating him on human terms. When he starts walking after Kanna at the end, he doesn't even understand what he's feeling but he knows he can't lose his daughter again.

As a manga reader, Lucoa and her one single definitive act in the Kimun fight really hit hard. She's one of my favourite characters and it was a hell of a thing for her to intervene (and so cool too haha).

Only criticism I have.... The movie sounded empty?
The sound design was great, voice acting sharp, just a lack of background sounds or music left me feeling it was a bit, empty sounding.

9/10.

PGleo862026-01-23 03:47

Kobayashi is dad of the year

darkmacgf2026-01-23 19:53

Pretty disappointed in this. The Kanna scenes are nice, as are the parts with the rest of the main cast, but Azad sucks. Boring villain who ruined the vibe of the series.

SnabDedraterEdave2026-01-23 19:56

Kyo-Ani with another theatrical masterpiece.

This movie was released on Father's Day in Japan last year, so it matches the theme of Kanna's longing for her father.

Who better to voice Kanna's rather scummy dad than the VA of Ikari Gendo, Shinji's dad from Evangelion? But thanks to the effort of Kobayashi's ~~Spirit Bomb~~ One-Off Cheat Code Mega Dragon Orb, she managed to literally beat some sense into Kimun.

I completely forgot the fairy guy that Kanna befriended in season 2, but that friendship came in handy as he and his daughter came in time to rescue Kobayashi from being literally eaten by the monsters in that forest (as well as retrieving Kobayashi's iPhone lol ).

Besides that, Kobayashi also has human technology to thank for thwarting Azad's treachery. Just replaying a simple recording of Azad's confession through the phone (with the aid of Tohru's volume amplification magic), the warring dragons were instantly convinced in ending their pointless war prior to Azad mind controlling them and requiring Elma and Fafnir to step in.

Even Lucoa briefly sidestepped her neutrality to give Kanna's family reunion a nudge.

Saikawa really values her friendship with Kanna, being the most devastated by Kanna's brief departure and the most joyful when Kimun lets Kanna return to live with Kobayashi.

Komi0282026-01-24 01:08

The Dragon Orb being a genkidama reference all along is really funny, but kind of a shame Kobayashi won't be able to use magic ever again, I was hoping in future arcs it would be necessary for Kobayashi to learn more complex magic. At least there was huge progress between Kanna x Saikawa.

Huy2812026-01-25 06:14

A bit dissapointed in the way the movie portrait the villain. I was hoping that we could see him at least change or find new meaning instead of being mocked. I know the movie is not good when I’m rooting for the villian lol. Besides that, everthing is top-notch.

Left-Cup-78792026-01-25 21:47

Coming to Australian cinemas in February 2026! I am stoked!

Hefty_Local_18752026-01-26 04:23
