After watching the first episode, I thought that this had a lot of potential to be a good series but unfortuantly it lost it's potential as the episodes went by.

Story:
At first the story interested me, it felt quite unique in a way and parts of the story reminded me of Soul Eater at times ( for some reason ) but after a few episodes in; it seemed to abandon its interesting plot and instead turn it into more of a regular harem/ecchi anime. I actually do enjoy harems to a degree but when you have an actual story first and then abandon it ... 1/3 of the way through, it can make you feel disapointed because of its wasted potential.
That being said, the pacing felt fine and didn't feel slow or rushed barely at all.

Art:
I did enjoy the art, it had some interesting designs and the girl characters were cute. Although, the actual dragons in the show could have had something more in their designs but they're not at all completely bad.

Sound:
In my opinion, one of the best things in the entire show was the opening and ending themes. The opening was really good and showed some really cool scenes. The ending was cute and had a fun song which was a nice reward after going through each episode. The voice actors/actresses did a good job throught the show ( you know they wanted the villian to be mysterious and cool when they cast Dio Brando's voice actor )

Character:
Now this is where everything goes wrong. I thought most of the characters were paper-thin with nothing really going on with them. Some of the characters got character development while most just had no layers even if you thought they did. I also thought the villian was just bad and i wish we had gotten more depth to the character but unfortuantly we didn't.

Enjoyment:
Here's the weird part; i actually really enjoyed it. I got the same enjoyment as I would watching any harem. Even though I had so much problems with it, i actually looked foward to watching more. If you enjoy harem/ecchi shows i think you would actually enjoy this even though it has many flaws.

Overall:
With the potential I thought it had at the beginning being destroyed as time went on, after watching the whole thing I feel disappointed. However like I said, if you enjoy harems and ecchi anime then by all means watch this one. But I don't think that this will be a very rememberable one with its very plain characters and interesting story it mostly abandoned. Seikoku no Dragonar turned out as a mediocre harem.

Story:

When someone talks to me about this series, the main part they mention is that the story is really interesting but most of the parts doesn't make sense and in my opinion i don't really see a problem with it. The episodes were usually 3-4 episodes an arc which was a good amount for them to have so we can get some character development and story in there before going to the next one. The pacing for the most part was okay and didn't feel like it was dragging on for ages. There are some parts of the series where you will either cry ... or feel depressed, i actually cried twice watching the series, and it just leaves with so many emotions that stay with you episode by episode. The story was really unique and was a interesting idea to cover.

Art:

The other thing people talk to me about that they feel hindered the anime was the artstyle. Complaining about it being to 'moe' and unoriginal, personally the artstyle dosen't bother me at all but i understand why people would not watch because of the artstyle.

Sound:

Sound was great and used well, the opening and ending themes to the show are amazing and i know all the words to both of them. Both just flow well with the emotions of the show.

Character:

The characters in the series are pretty well done, a few could have rounded off a bit more and gave us more of a backstory to give us more depth. Ai and Alice were really good characters. Characters like Scar and the girls at Gola Acadamy could have been developed a lot more than they did especially Scar. But the characters were different and most were very well developed.

Enjoyment:

Out of all my ratings on my lists, i mostly rate based on my enjoyment of the series. The series was well paced and every episode was different with some exciting and emotional segments which encourages me to rewatch it again and again and keep loads of enjoyment for it. I think the people who said they dont want to watch it for its moe artstyle should sit down and take in all the series has to offer.

Overall:

Great series, can't wait for the OVA coming 2014 and hopefully that leads on to a second season because Kami-Nai really deserves it for it's original plot and great characters.
