Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu

Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu is about a dragon supreme beings deciding to destroy the human world or not. They select representatives which they revive their shadow powers and test them to determine who will represent humanity for the final decision.

The first 30 episodes are worth skipping and you wont miss anything important. There is a lot of rinse and repeat in the show. This includes alot of yelling and "Shu" You will get tired of hearing his name.

The show is a failed combination of pokemon and dragon ball aimed at young children. If you seen either of these anime you ... would understand. They tried to take a simple concept and throw in some higher ordered thinking and it didn't work to well.

The story is ok but sluggish from the start; all the important parts are at the end. The beginning is just a overly long boring journey. The sound and art are the best part of this show for what its truing to accomplish. Nothing spectacular but it works.

Character-wise the show suffers dramatically. Without giving spoilers there are only a few exception of great improvement. Especially noticeable if you watched the original Blue Dragon. Besides all the yelling; there is a lot of idiot syndrome. You will here I don't get it alot as well and simple problems take forever to solve.

Overall Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu i rate is fair. There could have been so much more done differently to make this worth while watching. Yet again tho this was made for young people in particular so quality suffered.

I liked the original Blue Dragon as a youngster, but I had no idea there was a Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu until one day I spotted it on the internet and started watching, and all I can say is IT'S A DISAPPOINTMENT.

The theme has changed dramatically, at the start of ep1 it feels like Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu was attempting to disconnect the story line between the original and later on it starts to add god dragons and walls, stupid stuff that's complete disaster.

The sad part is that the team isn't together,  for 30+episodes they tried to get the team and failed. The story  doesn't even mention ... Zola (an ex-member of the team). The humor isn't as good as the original, it's really dull and boring.

One thing I'd like to mention is that there is character growth throughout the story. One of them is Shu, as he starts to become the leader and try to get the team, you get to see him grow, where in the original he's a loud annoying kid who starts to fight whenever he wants, but here you see him start to think and care for others and learning how to become a good leader.

Overall, I give it a 4/10. If you like Blue Dragon, its not worth or need to to watch Blue Dragon: Tenkai no Shichi Ryuu.
