I can understand with this serie still hasn't a review yet, but I'll just give you one 'cuz it will be my first one, and why is that? 'Cuz I've got lot of critics to Dragon Drive.
First thing first, if you liked Digimon, then I can say you won't like Dragon Drive very much because it all goes to that, in my opinion...
Story: (4)
It all starts with a lazy boy, Reiji Ozhora, who's nothing but a King of Tardiness. One day, his friend Yukino Maiko tells him about this game, where you ride a Dragon in a virtual world, called D-Zone, and fight other
...
players. But first, he needs to know which dragon sleeps inside him, and then he meets his partner, Chibi. They started by getting beaten up in a 10 lose streak, but then, they start to know how the game works and get to a Training Secret room, but due to some force beyond that world, they're sent to another world, where Dragons live freely among humans.
Chibi isn't just a cute dragon... He is a guardian who protected this Other World long time ago, and has awaken inside Reiji.
And now, they must once again protect it!
There ain't much to point here, I watched it 'cuz It sounded my fine, but then, after a couple of time, I was bored to death and I just wanted to drop it right after episode 24 or 25...
Art: (5)
I really hated the Dragons design. That style just doesn't give much of a fight. The effects were ok, but that CG style made no justice for the poor dragons.
The character's design was ok too. Some had pretty much style, others were just ok.
Sound: (6)
I can say this was the best part of the series. I really loved all the themes from here. They are either very powerfull, comical or just nostalgic.
Character: (4)
Ok, most the series I watch, I always find lots of characters I like. In here, I can only go for Toki and Rokkaku just because of their styles. Toki is cool with that pirate bandana and 'm kinda fond of his voice actor. As for Rokkaku, he kinda reminds of Kamina from Gurren Lagann, except Rokakku doesn't appear very much. He has a very strong will to fight, and he's always funny and I like his style too with all that big hair, yeah... Some kind of Kakashi there.
Some are just to damn annoying, like those two twins they fight. I mean, the first I saw them bullying at Chibi... I just wanted to blow their heads to #$%&...
And as for Himaro, well... His desire to fight Reiji, and following everywhere he goes its just wrong... He has style, and he could have been a damn awesome character, yet they ruined him and turned him into a emo which only wants to fight a guy everytime... Even if the world is about to explode....
Enjoyment: (3)
I tried to watch a couple of episodes until I get into the serie, but, the more I get into it, the more I hate it. The battles were just too damn quick and not very "epic" as they should be. I don't wanna spoil anything if you're reading this, but for those who've seen, just that battle against the Four Sacred Dragons... I mean, Reiji launches SinnSaber and its done, *puff*... Into thin air... And Himuro does the same thing with a lowly attack and the enemy disappears... Not tasteful... Needs more action...
Overall: (5)
I'll just give this a 5 for the sake of Chibi's cuteness!
