Dragons? Sounds pretty cool. I haven't seen many dragon-related anime.

How much does this match Gen's favorite cliches? Innocent character suffering, existential villains, grimdark, lesbian fanservice? In any case, it's interesting that it got an adaptation after 10+ years.

Thats what I want to know as well. Is it as dark as his other works. If so then this looks interesting.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

God the male mc? looks like Gudao. The other characters look alright though, seems like Takeuchi is actually capable of good character design if he wants to.

And his magnum opus as a writer for VN still hasn't even got an OVA.

Are you talking about saya no uta. That stuff is gruesome and scary.

The OST is so distinctly Yuki Kajiura. Takashi Takeuchi art style is also recognisable.

This needs a game badly, I for one would love a fantasy Air Strike Patrol or Ace Combat where you can fight dragons in modern aircraft.

I watched the Godzilla anime trilogy, so I gotta ask: is this gonna be dark and gritty almost to the point of misanthropy? Because if it is, I will sit this one out.

I'll take the sincerity of Genndy Tartakovsky over the cynicism of Gen Urobuchi, any day, no questions asked.

Go watch Primal. It's much better than the Godzilla anime trilogy.

I don't know why but when I saw the words "dragon desing" on screen watching the reveal I burst out in laughter. The movie has a lot of cool names attached to it.

The male main character looks the same as any other male character desinged by Takashi Takeuchi, which is to be expected because all of his desings have the same four faces anyway. If only the male main character didn't have the same haircut as any of the other Type-Moon male mc's. Anyway really looking forward to this.

Are we get a plot twist, like in his previous works such as Gaim, Puella Madoka & Fate/0 ?

Yuki and Gen. Hopefully it’s more Fate/Zero and less Aldnoah.Zero.
