Synopsis

If there's one word to describe Reiji Ozora, it would be "quitter." He can never find the motivation to finish anything, and loses interest at the drop of a hat. This all changes when his best friend Maiko introduces him to the new game "Dragon Drive."

In this virtual reality game, each player is assigned a dragon tailored to match their personality and strength. Reiji hopes for a big, strong, scary beast, but instead, he is stuck with Chibi, a cute, friendly-looking dragon smaller than he is. How disappointing—except it turns out that Chibi is the rarest dragon of them all!

Reiji finally discovers something he can remain interested in, and works hard to train both himself and his newfound friend. Soon this training will be put to use to save the world, for there are people who have dark aspirations for Dragon Drive!

This show is a really standard type of monster pet owner type show. There's tournaments with dragons battling each other and a quest to grow stronger and defeat a growing evil. Not bad concept really,simple clear cut and you get to enjoy the various dragons in combat.

The best part of this animation wise is all the different dragons other than that i could say a few select locations were semi imaginative and nice but that would be the limit of the art. Sounds is all pretty standard and nothing to write home about tho sadly, lots of recycled sound clips.

I enjoyed this show for the ...
