Synopsis

Lu Mingfei is a typical high school kid getting ready to graduate. That is, until he receives an acceptance letter from Cassell College, a school he didn’t even apply to. Upon arrival, Lu learns that the school’s mission is simple: protect humanity from dragons. Caught in the midst of the age-old conflict, Lu soon uncovers the grim truth behind humanity’s war against the dragon race.

It's very clear that the story is heavily influenced by China's history, culture, mythology, and religion, which have a strong belief in dragons.

Both Japan and China showcase their respective cultures.

The story is quite brutal due to its unknown scope to the rest of the world, where handsome and beautiful characters are killed by the author, leaving only their skeletons.

On the other hand, up until episode 13, the main character "Lu Mingfei" is still unclear about who he really is. What is clear is that if he's not in a threatening situation, he appears stupid and a true coward. Especially in scenes where he screams, intended ...

Mixed Feelings
It's not awful, just ok...
The animation is nice, the music is nice, the opening slaps. There are some funny jokes in the beginning, but their timing becomes worse and worse every episode, the narrative, the characters become more boring. The battle scenes are ruined by monotonous oh so panicked explanations of details. The last four-five episodes are awfully dragged out and full of flashbacks to previous episodes. The MC could be very interesting, but he gets his op powers just because, with no real growth, while still whining and being dumb. His personality is inconsistent, one moment he cool like a cucumber, the other he ...

The animation is very good no doubt about it but MC is the worst. Lacking in confidence, stupid, careless, zero sense of responsibility. Rather than the 3 fight scenes in the entire series, it's not worth it. Don't waste your time.

The story is unique , art style especially the fight scenes are good.

Everyone except MC is good.

The inbetween comedy troupes are not well suited.

I didn't like it at all just had to finish because I started. A 2 out of 5.

I love donghua for their unique animation and stories don't get me wrong but this is shit.
