Dragon, Ie wo Kau.

In an RPG fantasy world, a red dragon named Letty is disowned by his parents after failing to guard their eggs. Now he has to find a place of his own, but unlike other dragons, Letty is meek, cowardly, and has overall low stats. Regardless, a defenseless young dragon makes for an easy target for those who only see him as a beast to be feared, vanquished, and even devoured. After some time searching for somewhere to call "home," he encounters the elf Dearia, who saves him from a band of heroes. Both an architect and a real estate agent, Dearia offers to help Letty find the perfect abode that suits his needs. Thus ensues Letty's house-hunting quest, as well as all the fantastical creatures and formidable enemies he meets along the way!

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 ... numerous references to other media which were fun to pick up on, additionally, the contrast between a weak, emotionally vulnerable but scary-looking dragon and a strong, emotionally bone dry but gentle-looking elf makes for some entertaining moments, this is sometimes a bad thing though as characters can seem one dimensional, luckily I think the pacing moves the story along before it becomes too much of an issue.

The task of finding a safe home doesn't necessarily sound like a difficult task but there are numerous trials and tribulations the main character Letty must face on his house hunting quest one repeated annoyance being other races, primarily humans, who for one reason or another wish to use or hurt Letty which shows the "scary" monsters as the good guys which is becoming a much more popular theme in shows like "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime"

One major thing to note is that this show doesn't focus on combat at all despite there being stats so you shouldn't expect some crazy fights going into this show, but the story is overall engaging enough to hold your attention without them and manages to balance moments of sincerity with moments of comedy. The art style and animation are surprisingly good considering I hadn't heard any hype surrounding this show.

All in all, I would recommend this show if you're looking for something to relax and watch or if you like fantasy shows but don't mind the lack of fighting.

Charming? Yes. Complete? Far from it.
I had high hopes after the first few episodes that this would be a cute and funny show to relax go. Sadly, it lost its own premise halfway through, and never quite found its way back...

Art - Pretty solid. 7/10

Story - It meanders all over the place and never fully settles on what it wants to do. 4/10

Characters - A nice departure from expectations overall, and I enjoyed how it played on various tropes. There isn't much character development, but they are likeable and charming. 7/10

Overall I enjoyed the earlier episodes (where actual househunting was taking place) ... but started to lose interest when they started doing backstory episodes for irrelevant things. If this gets a season two, I hope it is much more focused and plays with the comedy which is where this show really shined.

If I had to describe this anime in one word, it would be "boring". It was kind of funny at the start, and I liked the concepts on paper. Monsters being not so bad, telling the story from their perspective, and something like looking for a house in another world where fantastical locations could be explored! But it felt like after they went to the spooky mansion and the whale, they ran out of ideas. Then there's also the issue of a bunch of this anime being dedicated to stuff like paying taxes. If there's an audience for that, it certainly isn't me.

Sure, Letty is ... cute at times, but as the series goes on he doesn't develop at all. It becomes pretty frustrating. When he started protecting the egg I expected him to eventually improve himself to protect someone he cared about, but the egg ended up being nothing more than an excuse to add a cute mascot character to the cast. I wanted to see him learn the skills he never learned with his parents, such as fire or flight, but that never happens. It makes Letty seem really whiny when he doesn't have any growth, but the jokes at his expense also start to feel repetitive at this point. We get it, he's a dragon who's also a weakling.

In fact, the message of this anime falls flat in the end. "Every being has good and evil" and yet certain races such as the dwarves (and 99.9% of the time humans) are just pure evil and want nothing more than to butcher Letty for his valuable dragon parts. Everything about this anime unfortunately just started to repeat itself after about 5 episodes that it was very hard to watch through all of it. If you want to check it out, I recommend only the first few episodes as that's where it shines the most.
