This is the first time I write a review. A few days ago, this show has a 6.X rate here (now 7.X) and I am very curious as I have watched ep1 when it aired all 12eps. I don't think it will be that low so I go to watch more. I eventually finished up the whole show, which doesn't always happens.

After finished this show, I think people may have two main problems to be disappointed.

First: this is a CGI show, it cannot give us detailed facial expressions with this quality, and the expressions are rather rough especially in close cut for their eyes. And ... of coz it is in 12 like the other JP 2D/3D animes. (I didn't do any research on this but I believe it is due to the file size or format limitation of airing on TV, or even just the conventions, even Beastar is in 12)

Second: they are killing dragons which reminds people of whaling. They also aviod to address the problem that killing dragons is not a health way to the make human society works. They treat this as a food show with yummy dragon dishes almost every ep, it may make you feel uneasy about all this.

Okay, so what do I think?


Story: 8
As I mentioned above, "whaling" is a serious problem for this show, but I do think they are not showing this just to disgust you, they show all the yummy dragon dishes just make me think what human are actually eating, because I don't know how dragon meat tastes like, this is just we human messing with the Earth itself, just using dragons as a way to get us the audiences to have a weird feeling, so not a big problem in my opinion.

The setting of this world is unbelievably detailed, the whole system of hunters, use of dragon's meat, oil and organs, and also how they fly etc is amazing and real. The different kinds of dragons are also well written and intriguing.

However, I think they can tell us more about the world, the character and the history of the world, I am pretty surprise they managed to make me finish the whole show without telling me enough of these.


Art: 6
This is a CGI show, and it is not gonna be the best for me as a 2D art lover. The 3D feeling works quite well for the dragons and some scenes but when it comes to character development it always lower the impact, especially when we need great facial expressions.

(I must admit the quality is good, so if you don't have a thing for 2D art you won't have problem with this show)


Sound: 9
OP: amazingly fitting the feeling of the show
ED: normal for me
OST: stellar level, in ep1 the beginning I am in love with it, the isekai fantasy and adventure feeling is almost perfect


Character: 8
Mika, Takita, Vanabelle are very likeable. I don't need to tell you the details, you just need to know there are a bunch of characters as they work on a ship, but you can easily find everyone unique and they work tgt around the main characters effectively. (Some side characters like Ula and Nanami are also likeable)

But, you will be going through this show without knowing the background story of the main character, I must say this is a weird thing as I don't feel off about it when I am watching.


Enjoyment: 8
I enjoy the story, the world, the setting and the music, I don't really enjoy is the yummy dragon dishes they are showing but it is not a dislike from me, just don't really enjoy. Also, I find that they don't have railing on the airship is kind of odd, but they don't really explain anything and the enjoyment comes from auidence's own understanding of the show, weird enough.


Overall: 8



Well, I must say I will probably hold the ep1 watched status forever if I don't see the 6.X rate here. It is hard to tell you to watch it til the end, but you can certainly give this a shot and even if you don't feel like watching the whole show, you may want to pick it up suddenly like me.

This is not going to be a show for everyone but I hope you will not be brothered by the two main problems I mentioned above too much if you are watching it.
