Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid) encountered a surprising level of censorship for the launch of its second season in China. Some fans unveiled the form of censorship on social media.
The second season of the anime concluded its run as part of the 2021 summer anime calendar earlier this year, and it was a welcome return to anime series by Kyoto Animation.
The new season featured one of its wildly designed characters featuring the new dragon Ilulu, and while his design definitely caught the attention of fans, it appears to have garnered negative attention for the anime’s release in China.

One of the main elements of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid that has generated both praise and criticism from fans is the character design of the female dragons. Each comes with a “very large hood”, and it appears that for the broadcast in China, these elements of its design had been reduced.

You can watch the anime Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon on Crunchyroll. None of the seasons have been adjusted in the same way that these supposed broadcasts have been in China, so there is no need to worry in that regard either.
Crunchyroll officially describes the second season as such: “The crazy Dragon Maid is back! A strange turn of events leads the Dragon, Tohru, to work as Miss Kobayashi’s maid.”
“Every now and then (that’s a lie, often) it causes him trouble. the beloved Miss Kobayashi as she blends in with human society and splendidly (that’s a lie, just mediocre) carrying out her servant duties. “
“His fellow dragons, Kanna, Lucoa, Fafnir and Elma, find their own places to fit in as well and enjoy interspecies interactions with humans. However, while everyone enjoys that relaxed and occasionally turbulent left, the threat of a new Dragon looms over Miss Kobayashi. “
