History YMMV / MissKobayashisDragonMaid

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:The god Loki basically crosses this line by attacking Ilulu, Elma and Azad and [[IHaveYourWife taking Takiya, Take and the Saikawa sisters hostage in order to force Tohru and Fafnir to take part in a tournament for dragons]].]]

* MemeticBystander: The blonde delinquent girl from season 2 episode 4 is something of a bizarre example since [[TheCameo she's actually Houka Kazetomo]], a supporting character from ''Metsuko ni Yoroshiku'' by the same author. But since ''Metsuko'' ended almost seven years before the episode aired and was never officially translated into English, most viewers would have no way of knowing who she was ahead of time.

* MisaimedFandom: The whole "Ravioli Ravioli, don't lewd the dragon loli" meme could be considered this, due to the creator having previously worked in adult lolicon-focused content, as well the entire erotic subtext between Kanna and Saikawa.

* EvilIsSexy: WordOfGod states that [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains Ilulu's overt display of sex appeal]] is directly because of her being "the evil dragon". Then goes on to state that if she had been wearing a maid outfit, [[spoiler:the genderbent]] Kobayashi ''wouldn't'' have been able to resist her, unlike with Tohru. In correlation with her enhanced sexual image representing her being evil, when she performs a HeelFaceTurn she gets a GoodCostumeSwitch into more modest outfits and acts less sexually aggressive.

** When Lucoa is explaining her role as a former goddess in episode 6, a pterosaur known as the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' (named for the Aztec deity that Lucoa's based off of) can be seen behind her. She also states that she dislikes being labeled as a dragon or demon, and prefers to be called an ex-goddess, feathered serpent, or Venusian. While Kobayashi doesn't understand the last one, it's a reference to her mythical counterpart's association with the planet Venus.

* DieForOurShip: Some fans of the series have [[HateAtFirstSight the same reaction as Tohru]] about Takiya being a possible love interest for Kobayashi.

The "evil" part disappears after her HeelFaceTurn.

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'', since both series place a focus on humans interacting with (often-female) dragons who can shapeshift into humanoids.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Despite the cute character designs and SliceOfLife setting, the series is actually {{Seinen}} and has quite a bit of {{Fanservice}} (with most of it coming from [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Lucoa]], who's also portrayed as a ComedicShotacon). Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment rated their translation of the first volume of the manga as an all-ages title despite all the fanservice and other content present even in the first volume, and their translation didn't censor any of it, either. This is fixed in the later volumes with a more appropriate Teen rating, and later printings of the first volume are also rated Teen. The manga's content would end up causing some problems when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p_LVfhqY3o Volume 6 was found in a Nebraskan middle school]]. While the anime is TamerAndChaster than the manga and focuses more on the found family theme, it still has some fanservice.

** It'll be Uzaki all over again. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Once it was confirmed that Ilulu would be in the second season, quite a few fans began to dread ([[PassThePopcorn or look forward to]]) the inevitable complaints about [[GagBoobs her character design]] on social media, comparing it to [[OvershadowedByControversy what happened]] when ''Manga/UzakiChanWantsToHangOut'' aired.[[/labelnote]]

** The fact that Ilulu is a short young-looking girl but wore skimpy clothes in her debut and has absurdly massive GagBoobs drew the ire of critics on Twitter and other social media websites for the same reason as why ''Manga/UzakiChanWantsToHangOut'' was lambasted for Hana Uzaki's appearance.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Elma is the second most popular character in the series, having placed right behind Kanna in both of the official character polls. This popularity led to her getting her own SpinOff.

** Various people think that Lucoa's advances toward Shouta are very uncomfortable to watch. Shouta himself holds this point of view as well. Saikawa being in love with Kanna has been another source of ire from North American critics accusing the show of pandering towards pedophiles as a result.

* NoYay: Anything that sexualizes [[TokenMiniMoe Kanna]] is likely to receive a reaction of disgust and hatred from the fanbase, because she's the equivalent of a human child.

** Milf Coded. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A Website/{{Tumblr}} user, attempting to take the series to task over its sexual content, called Lucoa this. The phrase was just so nonsensical that fans of the series started spamming it in relation to her.[[/labelnote]]

* EvilIsSexy: WordOfGod states that [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains Ilulu's overt display of sex appeal]] is directly because of her being "the evil dragon". Then goes on to state that if she had been wearing a maid outfit, [[spoiler:the genderbent]] Kobayashi ''wouldn't'' have been able to resist her, unlike with Tohru. [[spoiler:The "evil" part disappears after her HeelFaceTurn.]]

** While [[spoiler:Tohru's father crosses the line by trying to send her back to their world by force, then attacking Kobayashi when she intervenes]], he's well justified that running off to live amidst your species' mortal enemies and telling no one, much less your own family, isn't really okay, and considering the enmity between humans and dragons in his world, he has reason to be suspicious of Kobayashi. Even though the reader knows she won't hurt Tohru, he doesn't.
** The manga version, which takes place before Elma's arrival and has [[spoiler: Tohru's father be nowhere as vicious as he was in the anime]], further justifies his reasons for Tohru to return back to the dragon realm, showing concern about other dragons learning about Tohru being on Earth and then arriving there to fight her. Within the next few chapters, Elma wrecks Kobayashi's apartment when she arrives on Earth to continue her rivalry with Tohru (with Kobayashi learning from Kanna just how destructive their fights can get), while [[spoiler: Ilulu would destroy the place where Kobayashi and Tohru first met and cause Tohru to launch an attack on her that, had it not been for Elma's shield magic, could have easily destroyed most of Kobayashi's neighborhood]].

** Elma seems to be TheRival upon her introduction, but is promptly [[OutOfFocus sidelined]] to be only an infrequent source of BigEater jokes. What's worse, [[spoiler:Ilulu]] later usurps her rival role, pushing her even farther into the background. Fortunately, this was balanced out by the reveal that she'd be getting her own SpinOff, and the main manga revives Elma's status as Tohru's rival, and even sets up some possible romantic tension between them.
