Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu is about a dragon supreme beings deciding to destroy the human world or not. They select representatives which they revive their shadow powers and test them to determine who will represent humanity for the final decision.

The first 30 episodes are worth skipping and you wont miss anything important. There is a lot of rinse and repeat in the show. This includes alot of yelling and "Shu" You will get tired of hearing his name.

The show is a failed combination of pokemon and dragon ball aimed at young children. If you seen either of these anime you ... would understand. They tried to take a simple concept and throw in some higher ordered thinking and it didn't work to well.

The story is ok but sluggish from the start; all the important parts are at the end. The beginning is just a overly long boring journey. The sound and art are the best part of this show for what its truing to accomplish. Nothing spectacular but it works.

Character-wise the show suffers dramatically. Without giving spoilers there are only a few exception of great improvement. Especially noticeable if you watched the original Blue Dragon. Besides all the yelling; there is a lot of idiot syndrome. You will here I don't get it alot as well and simple problems take forever to solve.

Overall Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu i rate is fair. There could have been so much more done differently to make this worth while watching. Yet again tho this was made for young people in particular so quality suffered.
