Dragon's Dogma

I have not played the game so I am not sure how true the story is to the game itself, however those who played the game were not too happy, that being said most people say its still a pretty good anime.

Since I never played the game, based on what I saw i was really impressed and really enjoyed this Anime. However it is only 7 episodes, I did kinda wish their was more, but was still pretty happy Overall.

The animation, the sound, and character development from this anime is pretty good, however the story itself is what I found to be very ... interesting. I do think any anime fan would like this show, and even if your not an anime fan, I believe it is still worth a watch.

In regards to those who are a fan of the game, based on what others said they arent to happy with this anime, But i would still recommend to watch it.

Its only 7 episodes, so it wont take up too much of your time, and the story itself is really good, I personally loved the ending of this show.

That was from mediocre to horrible. First the animation is awful its like 2D animation done in 3D and it looks more like cutscenes from an JRPG and not an anime. And the 3D animation is just horrible, it made the entire thing almost un-watchable. In my opinion they should have stuck with 2D animation. Now for the story and its pretty bad. They threw some random monsters from all over the place with no rhyme or reason. its like fight that because why not.Episode 1 and 7 are the only good episodes for the story. Episodes 2 to 6 feel like filler.He has one ... goal in mind but no he has slay random monsters. Now slaying random monsters from mythologies makes sense in the end, but its all bland and feels like it needed a lot more work to make it good. Now unto the voice acting. Its horrible. I was watching it in english and to say the least it was horrible. It was good for like 1 or 2 second and then terrible for the next 10 to 15 minutes. I mean they could have done a such better job at voice acting but no they did not. Overall this is just bland with your typical monster slaying that is very bland in the end. I mean i get it how it ended but cmon the delivery should have been better then what i was at the end, not so bland and just whatever. I would say stay away from this heaping garbage and dont watch it. Save yourself time. And capcom really need to make a good anime based on their games.

TL;DR -
Overall, I don't get who this show is for, as someone who has not played the games, this did not make me want to go into them. And I can't imagine a fan of the games EVER finding this enjoyable with how rushed and the actual climax scenes (pun intended) looking like that. It's too bad to be enjoyable, and not that bad to be a hate watch or to enjoy drunk with friends, it's just a very rushed, mediocre show that's just extra bad because it looks like a draft of a 2000s CGI movie.

First things first, I have not played the ... game, nor I know anything about it other than it exists, so I can't mention anything about how well adapted it is.

Now about the show itself it's in this weird spot where it's really not good but also not horrible, with a runtime of 7 eps (though they are longer than the average, so you can count it as 8-ish), it really didn't have much time to really go places, it felt like they took the opening and fitted it into an episode and half, and then the ending of the game for the last episode, and then threw in a bunch of random quests/events/missions/whatever the game has in the middle. It feels rushed, like MEGA rushed, characters just change, things just happen that are not explained whatsoever or not even adressed, the plot twist that you could guess from the very beginning, it just feels.... wasted. It's really not good experience as someone who has not played the game, but that makes me think, who is this show for ? It feels like they made it with the idea that you have some basic knowledge of the game and didn't bother wasting their time fleshing it out proper, or they just really flat out didn't care, it is a really meh experience for someone who doesn't know anything about the games, and I can't imagine anyone who has enjoyed the games to be happy to watch this clunky mess of animation, so really, what was the point ? with this random number of 7 episodes, it feels like they didn't have the money to do something decent, but with the animation quality, I can't imagine it costing them that much (though I must note, there were 2, about 1-3 min segments where there were 3-4 hand drawn characters, which made it look even worse as the CGI models were still either in the background or interacting with them).

The animation itself is really... questionable at times, it's very cartoony, like, dreamworks shrek villan cartoony at points, which 10 mins after gets completely swept by a bunch of people getting decapitated and a girl almost getting goblin slayer'd, it feels like a bunch of people tried to direct and they did not talk to each other whatsoever, or looked at the end product.

The sound was.. well despite me just finishing the show I can't really say anything about it so that means it was not good nor bad, just there, though I must note in the last episode, in the jap audio atleast there were these just random sounds, as if someone was breathing into a mic and they just accidently looped it over the whole episode instead of deleting it.
