Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S, also known as Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon in Japan, is a Japanese anime produced by Kyoto Animation. When Bilibili acquired the rights to stream the anime in China, some scenes were censored due to a new 2021 policy banning "violent, vulgar, and bloody" cartoons and anime.[1] As a result, scenes featuring sexuality or naked females were altered or removed.
