Meh okay, I'll open a discussion topic for this after all. I was bored watching this episode to be honest. And what was that thing with Toa, she said she'd be with Jin and then joins with (yet another) naked guy in the end? So far this show is just weird, thought Toa would raise the standard a little but so far that ain't happening.

It's because she saw the way he looked at her when she was in her Dragon form. He was scared and didn't see her as the same person. In the preview it looks like Jin and the other dragon guy are on an island. I bet we get a little more info.

I had some hope and this episode just seemed like it had been shot, struggled pitifully on the street for a moment, and finally died. Yeah, I'll watch a few more episodes, but I really haven't been into this show since the beginning. The only reason I was hopeful was because of Toa... but now I'm surrounded by all the wussy characters like Jin and Kazuki.

I've been bored throughout all episodes, the dragons are horribly animated and the same goes for the helicopters. This is now dropped, I don't feel like wasting anymore time at it. =[
Three episodes should be enough to give at least some interest..

Okay now I'm losing my interest in this show, don't like the whole dragon transformation thing, it seems the animators tried to hard on them, just about the only thing I like about this series is Toa <3, dunno...I'll watch the next episode and the I'll decide if I'm going to drop it or put it on-hold.

Art Sucks (like Sobzob said "the dragons are horribly animated and the same goes for the helicopters")
Plot Sucks there is simply no more sense in it and with Jin going all emo again with Kasuki or wtv its even worst.

Transform? This part simply remembered me of Power Rangers. Humans riding Mechanich dragons = fail. Gio being mechanich = double fail. Fighting scenes = massive fail. Speech based on emotes and some screams, with little interesting information = Huge fail.

Dropped for me. Sorry but i simply cant stand the lack of quality

I guess I can keep watching it. Haven't seen mecha animes in a while. This storyline is kind of weird and Toa.......she gotta get back with Jin at the very least.... Gio can go die coming in naked like some hero...... The animation kinda sucks though... I'll just watch this show if I'm not updated with the other fall shows.

Yeah i also noticed the amount of naked scenes of males... anyway i was enjoying it a lot till up to the point they turned into dragons, mainly seeing Toa's form... wow that sucks but since its new and seems to have a decent yet weird story i am willing to bite the bullet for a few more episodes.

the way they rode in the dragons was kinda fruity. Kazuki's lameness makes me depressed about just how sucky he is. I hope Jin doesn't start crying now..especially with that naked guy, Gio, around.

it's official...i have no idea what the hell is going on in this series anymore...people that transform into dragons with other people riding those people...some naked dude comes out of nowhere and takes toa away...jin risks his life to jump onto the dragon form of that same naked dude...i'm completely lost on the story as well...

but hey, maybe it's just me... <_<

The story is all over the place and it's only the third episode. Gotta agree with Sobzob about the dragon and heli animations, a bit lame, but I like the fact that the story shifts alot so far, keeps you on your toes. I'm gonna keep watching it, if only for the Toa and the other chicks. ^^

I wouldn't say the animation of the dragons was bad, the concept and design are pretty weak though. I guess its a CG Vs 2D issue. The animation of the helicopters was dire and just looked lazy.

I agree with the fact that I really do not like the way they created the dragons. They just look ugly, to be honest, and don't really fit in with the rest of the animation as well as I would like. I'm not going to drop it though - I want to see how it will go from here.

Oh, btw, when they killed that one dragon, he BLEW UP! I mean, aren't they humans? Wtf? Since when did humans blow up like machines? Then again, they also get piloted, so I dunno.

mmmhm. That's something I'm not understanding as of now, also. Are the dragons like organic, animal beings or machines? we shall see..

What Faust said. Personally the best thing about this series is the opening sequence.

K I love Toa but she basically just ditched him right?

Of course he completely hurt her feelings when he was afraid of her in dragon form?

And I don't think the animations where to bad look the latest ep of Bleach if you want to bag on something!

Thought the episode was okay. I was like noooesss~ when Toa ditched Jin though, lol. It's his fault to begin with but at least he sort of redeemed himself by risking his life to get her again. And I thought it was prioritized to get the Album and Jin back. And they fall in the water and they're like, "well they're lost, LOL let's go home~"

I'll give it a few episodes to see if it gets a bit interesting, but I really feel like dropping this one.

They seem to me like bio-mech esque (living creatures yet machines at the same time. I guess.)

Jin is still a wimp, the plot is, as someone mentioned, 'all over the place', and well, the series is pretty 'meh' so far. The dragon animation is ugly, I think they should've just made them 2D rather than CG. I'll give this series a couple more episodes anyway.

i thought toa's gonna be another useless pink-haired chick but after seeing her fight, i actually found her a bit cool. i don't like how the dragons were animated/CG'd on some parts but overall this ep's okay and i'm still interested so i'm gonna watch the next.

pretty much this anime sucks... toa is the only reason to keep me downloading this each 2 weeks
not feeling like writing much... but this anime needs less naked man action, and more toa IMO, not dragon toa, but toa herself

lesson of the day, never look bad at a transformed pink haired girl that is moe

it was ok.I get annoyed in any anime when the hero gets scared when a character transforms right in front of them and they know its them.Then when the character leaves the hero is like "why are you leaving" its like dude didint you see what you just did.This happens in ALOT of anime.
