Go To

  • Actor Allusion: Makoto mentions "young, handsome, but devilish" butlers like Fafnir have become popular during the party in episode 3.
  • Casting Gag:
  • Died During Production: The show's second season had been announced and was entering pre-production when the Kyoto Animation arson attack killed several studio employees, including director Yasuhiro Takemoto, necessitating the hiring of Tatsuya Ishihara to direct the second season.
  • Dueling Shows: With the second season of KonoSuba and Interviews with Monster Girls during the initial airing first season, and I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level during the 2021 airing of Season 1 and the airing of "Mini Dora" shorts that led up to the premiere of Dragon Maid S.
  • Executive Meddling: The decision of using Japanese honorifics in the Latin American Spanish dub was forced unto the voice actors' throats by Crunchyroll, due to internal policies of the company, according with the people who worked on the dub.
  • No Export for You: Lucoa is my XX is the only spin-off manga that has yet to be licensed in the United States, and given its subject matter, it is most likely never going to receive one.
  • The Other Darrin:
    • In the Latin American Spanish dub, due to Andrea Arruti succumbing to pneumonia in 2020, Saikawa is voiced by Nycolle Gonzalez (who also replaced her in the Latin Spanish dub of the Violet Evergarden film) in the dub of the second season.
    • Shouta's English voice actor, Alison Viktorin, declined to reprise the role for the second season due to her having retired from voice acting in 2021. As a result, the role is performed by Macy Anne Johnson.
  • Posthumous Credit: Yasuhiro Takemoto, who directed the first season, was posthumously credited as series director of the second season alongside his successor Tatsuya Ishihara.
  • Real-Life Relative: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Kobayashi and Saikawa's voice actresses (Lourdes and Andrea Arruti respectively) were aunt and niece in Real Life.
  • Star-Making Role:
  • What Could Have Been: According to the bonus material at the end of the first volume, Cool-Kyou and the magazine editor that they met with originally decided on making a boy-meets-girl romance for their manga contract. When Cool-Kyou presented the first chapter of Dragon Maid instead, the editor said it was nothing like what was initially discussed, but the magazine went with it anyway.
