The late Yasuhiro Takemoto is credited as series director.
They’re joined by Shingo Kasai as art director, Naomi Takahashi as color designer, Hiroshi Karata as accessory designer, Hiroki Ueda as director of photography and Rin Yamamoto as 3D director.
Crunchyroll streams both seasons of the anime and a set of shorts, describing the overall story like so:
Miss Kobayashi is your average office worker who lives a boring life, alone in her small apartment–until she saves the life of a female dragon in distress. The dragon, named Tohru, has the ability to magically transform into an adorable human girl (albeit with horns and a long tail!), who will do anything to pay off her debt of gratitude, whether Miss Kobayashi likes it or not. With a very persistent and amorous dragon as a roommate, nothing comes easy, and Miss Kobayashi’s normal life is about to go off the deep end!
