For an anime based off an old video game, I'd have to say this did very well.
What drew me to this anime was the art!
I love it. The character colors and designs are nice to look at.
While this was a short series, it was very enjoyable. There was some outrageous humour, as seen in the booby trap episode-which was so bad in some of the hinted directions it went, but for someone who doesn't usually find dirty humour funny, I think I laughed a lot. My favourite in that episode was, however, the flat sprites.
Aside the humour:
YOu would not possibly have guessed, again, being it's
...
some risky anime based off an old video game...that it would have lots of depth.
There is a lot of treachery and betrayal, as well as some much deeper human emotions that drive some of these characters. The motives you may not learn till the very last 5 minutes of the series, but they felt real to me (I tend to sink into character's a lot, so sometimes I take their viewpoints to understand them better).
I loved the opening themes of both seasons as well, they are quite catchy and fun.
I think some of the CG for the Druaga beast was a big awkward, maybe, but it made the monster feel more dramatic and "There".
Overall, I'd say this series was really great. It has a fair lot to surprise you with, given the original material, and became one of my favourite anime series within the first 2 episodes.
I enjoyed the star wars reference at the first episode as well...the goofy false episode that you shouldn't take seriously...I was very afraid how the story was going to go, but once the real story toke over, I was in :)
Also, because I'm not one who looks for flaws in any of my anime, I can't outright point out technical issues, because, the reason for watching is to ENJOY...so, go watch Druaga, and enjoy it!
