How can character designs be so generic but endearing? I feel this hit that aspect somehow. Background art is pretty good and the music choice was nice. Fan service is there but doesn't seem to be to overlly done. Pretty interested in this. I remember it being announced and then getting delayed. Glad to see it finally seeing some actual life.

FAVAROOO! Oh wait, wrong anime.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Looks like a generic magic school anime, it was probably for the best it was dead all this time.

Eh, whatever, it can't possibly be worse than Virgin Soul.

Oh hey so Cygames is going to join the anime game here, hue. But the staff looks pretty alright. Designs as what someone said, they're generic but for some reason they're just endearing to look at.

I really have to remember that Genesis and Virgin Soul are nothing more than spin off within the universe of Shingeki no Bahamut? This anime is based on canon events of the game that have also had their version within Granblue Fantasy

http://rageofbahamut.wikia.com/wiki/Mysteria_Academy
https://gbf.wiki/Lonesome_Dragoness

"The venerable Mysteria Academy of Magic.
On most days, renowned instructors would be
teaching magic to classrooms full of prodigies.
But today is not most days.
A student prank has torn open the door that
separates this dimension from the Dark Realm.
Abominations from beyond, freed from the shackles
of their chaos prisons, are relentlessly assaulting the
academy.
Grea, the lonesome dragon, stands up and vows to
restore order to the hallowed halls she once walked at
Anne's side..."

It is one of the most events for the people who play the games that is their main audience for these spin-off based on game events that open the door for more events to be animated in the future

Another good news that makes me happy, it's a pity that the episodes will not have full minutes. What a shame! :(

Good, I need more dragon girls after finishing Kobayashi-san. The trailer looks better than I thought, though I expect a more than healthy amount of CGI coming our way. At least Cygames should have enough money to make this look good all the way.
