By the end of Season 2, Ilulu has settled down with Takei. But Takei is a child, and Ilulu is a dragon. The "Az-Animex" time skip (even a six-month skip) could show Takei entering high school, and Ilulu struggling with the fact that her "partner" is growing up while she remains static.
One of the most controversial yet brilliant aspects of Dragon Maid S was Ilulu. Her design is overtly sexualized, yet her narrative is about the weaponization of her own body. "Az-Animex" could solve the cognitive dissonance of her character by moving her into a mentor role.
This article explores the narrative threads left dangling by Dragon Maid S , the immense potential of a hypothetical "Az-Animex" season, and why this specific property matters more than ever in the modern anime landscape.
To understand what "Az-Animex" needs to accomplish, we must first revisit the ending of Dragon Maid S . Season 2 was deceptive. On the surface, it was a series of vignettes: Kanna goes to a summer festival, Ilulu learns to control her "power," and Lucoa… well, Lucoa continues to be Lucoa. But beneath the slice-of-life exterior, Season 2 introduced massive lore implications.
This is a series that understands that the most fantastical settings are useless if you don't have a warm meal to come home to. It understands that love—whether between a human and a dragon, a child and her surrogate parents, or a goddess and a mage—is the only magic that can bridge any rift.
Whether Kyoto Animation chooses to call it Season 3, a movie, or the fabled "Az-Animex," one thing is certain: The world needs more Tohru, more Kanna, and more of Kobayashi’s deadpan acceptance of the absurd. Because in a chaotic world, we all want a dragon maid to tell us, "You are my treasure."
