I'm angry. At who, you may ask? At you, the MAL community.

Not all anime are made equal.
Some tell epic tales of adventure and heroism. Some tell a touching story that leaves your heart a crushed mess. Some make you laugh and holler like a moron. Many attempt some of the previously mentioned and fail epicly, leaving only a bitter aftertaste.

This isn't one of those anime. This one tells a simple, sweet story - what would happen if a big, scary dragon... was only looking for a home?

In my opinion, this can be called a 'children's storybook' anime. And it captures it all beautifully- from the ... opening, that puts on display a huge world with creative and beautiful scenery, to the narration, that frames the story, to the charming quality that inhabit it, and finally to the ending, which brings another chapter to a close using an breathtaking, storybook-like artstyle.

So, while this anime is far from the most epic story ever told, it perfectly sets out everything it sets to do.
The main character, Letty, starts out as a weak-willed, whiny creature, but over the course of the story we get to see him evolve and grow as he interacts with the characters around him.
The deuteragonist, Dearia, acts as the perfect foil and mentor for Letty, but over the course of the story we find out his background and what led him to become what he is.
The rest of the cast is also extremely colorful, and each episode brings new scenery and a set of characters, so none of them outstay their welcome.

In short- if you want to enjoy a short, cute story, you really don't want to miss this one!
