I've just finished watching Dragon Crisis!. A very good fantasy anime, I must say. I don't usually dive into the 'harem' side of Anime. I find it very unappealing and unrealistic for me. But this one had enough fantasy element's to keep me interested all the way through the end. In the series we follow a young 15 year old boy. Called Riuji, and a Dragon girl called Rose. They fight together and stuff.

Overall, what I liked most about the series it's it's fantasy, romance element. It was a nice break from all the Werewolf, or Vampire stuff, that has been going around lately. You ... know what I mean. *cough* twilight *cough*. Of course the Romance had it's Japanese appeal to eat. Being Moe, harem, and sometimes a little bit hentai.

The series had one episode in particular that literally scarred the living holy mother of god out of me. Episode 9, called 'Mirror of Truth'. (Don't worry, it doesn't affect the overall plot.) In this episode we find our protagonist's trapped in a painting. (Like that hasn't been done before. but it's the execution that counts.) They soon start talking about a horror movie they saw last night, and without a doubt the same killer appears before there eyes. They soon hide in a safe house. Riuji then find out that his 'Lost Precious' isn't working against the enemy. Bianca appears to control the situation. Anyway, to get out of the painting, they have to tell the truth to the Mirror, who so happens to be the killer.

Anyway, the scary part for me was the killer itself. It was creepy as hell! Just proves how good Japanese Filmakers are at horror.

The plot overall was the best thing for me. With each new character the series kept it's momentum, it kept it fresh and interesting for me. And at the end, all of them come together in one climactic battle.

If you have the time, you should definitely check out this series. Not for it's moe or harem side, but for it's Action/Fantasy side. :)
