For a show of a subversive fantasy gag parody like this, you would think that with such a mediocre-to-decent story about a cheap dragon going house-hunting, would be very lame and off-putting. While most of the community thinks that's the case with this show, I, however for one, was so wrong, and as time progresses, out of the many great and masterpiece shows of the Spring 2021 season, other than the overlooked Odd Taxi, "Dragon, Ie wo Kau." is easily the 2nd best show that I always look forward to for weekly seasonals. I'm very salty about the undeserving low score, but whatever, this show's ...

Dragon, Ie wo Kau stands apart from most other anime in that it offers a lighthearted and amusing comedy of errors with unique and intelligent quirks.

Making the Heroes the bad guys and the "Monsters" just average beings wanting to live and let live is a novel take on the fantasy genre.

An un-Dragon Dragon may have thrown people off, but I love this twist.

The only downside for me was they could have done a lot more with Letty's character development. From Runt to Alpha Dragon would be an incredible counterpoint to the effervescence of the plot.

But from the intro to the credits, the series ...

Anime's take on "Selling Sunsets". I don't understand why this has a low rating here but the art is good, the plot is so-so but it's enough for a chill and lighthearted anime. Plus it gives a different take to a fantasy anime. Anyone who has lived through searching for an apartment in Japan can relate to whatever this dragon is going through. This has a catchy opening too so that's a bonus. I always find myself laughing through the episodes. The comedy this anime offers is GOLD. From the character design to the subtle references.

How can anyone not fall in love with this ...

Dragon. Ie wo Kau for me is the best series of this season (Spring 2021). And it needs more love than it is getting..

There are a lot of good series this season (Fumetsu no Anata e, Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song, Boku no Hero season 5 etc) but for me the best series of this season hands down is Dragon, Ie wu Kau. I enjoy quite many series this season, but this is the only series I am looking forward whole week. In a time we are leaving with Corona virus, travel restrictions and so on, this series manages to wash away all my worries and ...

To say this show is anywhere near a masterpiece is a complete lie but that being said the show does exactly what it needs to do and it does it well at that.

The show is a lighthearted journey of a pitifully weak dragon who after being kicked out of his family home must go looking for a safe place to live with the help of a jack of all trades style real estate agent who he meets on his journey which is definitely a unique synopsis for a show.

Despite the simple but unusual premise, I wouldn't say the show was ever boring as there are ...

Preliminary (8/12 eps)
One of my favourite anime! It’s wholesome, cute, funny, relaxing, and Dearia’s hot. The op is stunning, and the ed as well! I thought I’d give this a try because fantasy is one of my favourite genres, and the visuals looked appealing, and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t really expect much when I first started watching, but now I wait in anticipation for the new episode each week :)
I have to commend the animators for not using cgi on Letty’s design, and for just the pretty art in general. The characters aren’t boring either, there’s backstories to go along with them, and cool ...

I'm super biased because this series fits exactly into my tastes, from the medieval/fantasy setting, to the main character being a wimpy dragon and the humor of obvious references to other series but done tastefully because they don't rely solely on that. It gets extra bonus points because my favorite seiyuu are in the main cast.

The story is simple, with the first few episodes showcasing different fantasy settings as possible home options for Letty. It breaks away once in a while to introduce the other characters and their backstories. Dearia's backstory is definitely the thing to look forward to the most.

I guess the downside of ...

A refreshing take on fantasy genre

The anime follows the story of a weak dragon that trying his best to find a new home as he face a lot of obstacle waiting for him.

The unique takes really draw my attention ,instead of getting a dark and serious fantasy anime like in the previous season we get this heartwarming anime which i really like ,it gives you that slice of life and calming vibe rather than a fantasy and adventurous vibe.

I really like the animation ,it's good and i don't have too much too say about that.

The character design is also pretty decent.

The protagonist has a very ...

I'm angry. At who, you may ask? At you, the MAL community.

Not all anime are made equal.
Some tell epic tales of adventure and heroism. Some tell a touching story that leaves your heart a crushed mess. Some make you laugh and holler like a moron. Many attempt some of the previously mentioned and fail epicly, leaving only a bitter aftertaste.

This isn't one of those anime. This one tells a simple, sweet story - what would happen if a big, scary dragon... was only looking for a home?

In my opinion, this can be called a 'children's storybook' anime. And it captures it all beautifully- from the ...

The "Dragon, Ie wo Kau" anime is one of the very few anime I've enjoyed. This anime has its flaws. But it has more pluses than minuses.

"Dragon, Ie wo Kau" is quite an original anime. The main character is a teenage dragon Letty, who although a dragon, but weak and cowardly, because of which he gets into various troubles. Letty was banished from his home for a big misstep, now Letty will be looking for a new home where he can be safe. However, Letty and other peaceful monsters want to kill evil people (Who hypocritically call themselves heroes) for trophies. So, the viewer is ...

I enjoyed this way more than I should have.

A dragon who just wants to find a home. That's a first.

Its supposed to be a comedy, and it relies on the usual stuff (contrasting situations, surprise twits, etc) to get laughs. On that front, it's extremely average.

The true shining point of this anime is the realism they bring into it. It's about a dragon in a fantasy world full of fantasy creatures but so many practical matters! You've got a real estate agent, different types of homes, loans deposits, the 'rent or buy" argument, family homes, bachelor homes, and work with lie-in accommodation, and taxes. TAXES!!!! ...

First Time Reviewer

Dragon, Ie wo Kau, or Dragon House Hunting, was possibly the most underrated anime of the season in my opinion. The show was nothing extravagant, it didn't break your heart with emotions, it didn't make you gasp with thrill, and it was no action packed movie. That being said, there was one thing to me that this show excelled at, and that was making me laugh. (This review will have a little amount of spoilers)

Story - 7/10: There was nothing crazy about the story, but that's what made the show nice. The story goes about with our MC, Letty, joining alongside the Demon ...
