Panzer Dragoon

A post modern masterpiece, which will be remembered in centuries. The genius writing, the clever use of symbolism, foreshadowing and depth, combined with lifelike characters, create one of the most unique and immersive experiences I have ever come across in my life, even rivaling classic novels and puts them to shame. It even crosses the line of some taboo topics such as racism and conspiracy theories, a marvel indeed. But it doesn't stop there, it comes with top-notch visual fidelity, even now for a 20 year old title and a soundtrack, that will make you forget Hans Zimmer, Michael McCann or Yuki Kajiura existed. A ... wonderful composition, which will make you ask the important questions in your life. I wrote this review listening to some of the tracks and I had to tear up so many times thinking about the fantastic ending this anime had.

This is truly a masterpiece and it's a shame, that only so few people know of this timeless classic. A must-play for the thinking otaku. The savior of this rotten anime industry. Play this anime, buy this anime. As a human being which calls itself a otaku, playing this title is your holy duty

I think people are being too harsh on this anime. Is it good? Not really. Is it worth your time? Probably not. But it's not some horrible piece of trash.

It's based on a video game that I haven't played and only vaguely heard about from Segata Sanshiro commercials, so maybe it would have helped me enjoy this more.

The main issue with Panzer Dragoon is that it feels like I decided to watch the final episode of an anime without watching the rest, but it's the only episode out there. There's no context, no lore, no character introduction, no development or progression.

I think it had potential, ... like maybe it would have been a decent 6/10 anime but it's like I said, it feels like watching the final episode. If they only had to make one episode, why did they decide to make this? What prompted them to do so? It's just my theory but I think it's the ending of the game and they decided to turn it into an anime for fun. At least that would make sense.

Also the dragon feet make me uncomfortable, it's just one claw. It's probably painful to stand on that.

Just kinda bad, innit?

It was fun seeing the old saturn-esque CGI

I'm glad the girl got rid of her blindness

Kyle's a bit of a dick lol

Alot of the bad OVAs tend to have a similar problem of speed-running their stories, this one has that issue especially. Unlike Garzey's Wing though, this didn't have any particularly cool ideas I ended up liking that much. And the dub doesn't have Garzey's Wing's "Curse/Blessing?" of having every line read being incredibly awkward, mostly being mid for 90s dubs, with an occasional awkward line read.

Only really watch if you like old-dated CGI enviroments like myself.
