Seikoku no Dragonar (Dragonar Academy)

Learning to ride and tame dragons comes easy to most students at Ansarivan Dragonar Academy—except for first-year student Ash Blake, who is known by his fellow classmates as the "number one problem child." Poor Ash is the laughing stock at school because, despite his unfashionably large star-shaped brand that marks him as a future dragon master, he has nothing to show for it. His dragon has never appeared.

Until now, that is. One fateful day, Ash's dragon awakes in full glory, but appears different than any dragon ever seen before—in the form of a beautiful girl! What's worse, Ash soon discovers that this new dragon has attitude to spare, as she promptly informs him that she is the master, and he, the servant.

Ash's problems with dragon riding have only just begun.

Don't go into this anime expecting a great story and nice characters/(developement) because there isn't.

This is your standart harem/magic/school anime in a fantasy world. (If you have some anime of the sort I haven't watched yet feel free to pm me ;))
The characters don't really have anything special going for them but that doesn't mean this show is bad. It's not the greatest, sure, but it's not necessarily bad. It's just your typical show with a more or less predicatable storyline.
There is our main dude. And as the show progresses more and more girls seem to fall in love with him, pretty standart.

Mixed Feelings

Such potential, but it all fell rather flat. Who doesn't like dragons? Who wouldn't love a dragon to call their own? As a male, who wouldn't give their left arm to be bonded to a dragon who was a cute girl especially when you had a pretty good idea how she would grow up? I was surprised this was a ecchi/pseudo-harem, but then I seem to be drawn to them. Meh, it's a living. Everything but one major plot point was resolved by the last episode, but it seemed like they rushed to just throw in the resolution. ... That was rather disappointing. That being said; by the numbers.

Story: The first episode made me want to watch, and I was willing to forgive the rather elementary school presentation in the hopes that it would pick up the gauntlet that it threw down with the premise, and kick some butt. That didn't happen, but I'm a fan of the service, and there was plenty of that. I was surprised by just how ecchi this was, and if there had been a few more pixels revealed it could have been hentai easily. Maybe that would have made the story-lite presentation better, but I was left wanting more in the way of development. 6

Art: It's anime, so I'm a fan of the art, and the vistas were beautiful, the cities fantastic and detailed, as were the outfits, and the girls were sexy. Somebody does need to get the potential warrior males in anime to grab a protein shake, and hit the gym once in a while though. Honestly, The ladies are drawn so I can see each muscle group, and the pleasant hint and jiggle of avoirdupois in all the right places, but I can count the number of male biceps I've seen in almost all anime on one hand. Of course, I'm not counting the super saiyans and monster men out there; just the average warriors in training. Help me artiste; you're our only hope. 8

Sound: I usually like the OP and ED songs in anime, and have downloaded many that I listen to while driving, but these two were pretty forgettable if not nearly unlistenable. I love bubblegum pop, but these songs even embarrassed me. As for the ambience music throughout; there was nothing remarkable, or notable. 4

Character: Yes. Next! Okay, to elucidate; the characters had just enough to prove they were indeed written as human beings except for the dragons; they were written as dragons. At least the dragons had some depth of character. The humans could've been replaced by poster boards with smiley faces on them. In my never to be humble opinion, this is where the genre falls flattest. You can't make a real character truly "real" to the viewer with 23 minutes times 12 episodes even if there were an OVA, or at least it appears fairly rare. 4

Enjoyment: I wanted to, and tried to enjoy this. If it was just for the fan service, I would give this a 9 or 10. All I could say was "what potential". Too formulaic. I would've dropped this, but I loved Eco (the MC's dragon). Cute as a button, and feisty as a fighter pilot just before lighting the afterburner. Just the way I like my tsunderes. She reminds me of my daughter who I love dearly. Not that way; you perv! Which both Eco and my daughter are fond of saying. I'm also a sucker for a poorly written love story. 5

Overall: I could have lowered each rating by one or two points, but there was just so much potential for a good series that I didn't have the heart, and the hope of it improving kept me clicking to the next episode. Pretty much a solid C in execution. 6

This anime is not worth watching, the first episode makes you want to watch it, since it shows potential, but in the end, there is no "main conflict" in the story, meaning, there is no story.

We get to know our main character and what he can do, but his ability is never used and the anime just straight up turns into harem and ecchi nonsense.

The last two episodes were the climax, appart from those, nothing interesting happened, if I had to compare this anime to something, it would be to only doing side quests on a game and waiting until a year later to start ...
