THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.
Story 3/10: I'll be honest, the plot felt non-existant. It felt like all the time this show didn't really know what it wanted to be – it's really confusing with a lot of plotholes and things that don't make sense or are just plain stupid. Normally I'm the kind of person who doesn't notice plotholes or inconsistencies but this show's "story" was so bad that even I couldn't miss it.
The base premise is that there's a normal guy, with a hottie female sidekick, who end up saving some dragon loli who they need to protect. A few episodes later this dragon loli, named Rose, gets kidnapped by a black dragon guy named Onyx, whose sole purpose seems to be to forcibly marry the reluctant loli so that he'd get more powerful or something. The issue is that he kidnaps the loli in the third episode (if I recall right), gets beaten up and magically disappears for almost the complete show, even though the beginning makes him out to be a great threat and a major plot figure – but guess what? After the bad guy's disappearance you're left watching our main heroes pointlessly hunting after some "Lost Precious" named treasures, or whatever. The thing is that we're never really told why they are after these treasures, what's so important and plot-significant about them (except that they have different rarities and grant special powers) that they'd use up like 7 of 12 episodes on the hunting of those. Those episodes feel pointless to the story and just as a way to introduce more unimportant and boring characters to the cast.
In the final episodes the bad dragon guy shows up again, kidnaps our loli dragon, again, and tries to escape to another country by airplane – aka loli's birth country. The thing is that this time the loli girl has suddenly lost her memory of the main guy, aka her lover, and she's just passively going along with the bad guy until she gets to eat some ICE CREAM THAT REGAINS HER MEMORY. Oh, and to make it even more anticlimactic the big bad dragon guy is defeated by no one less than... the main character's PARENTS, who had no fucking role in the series prior to this, whatsoever. They just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, no explanation, nothing, to save the day and kill off the dragon guy with a one-shot KO attack. Wow. It doesn't even make sense.
This show was simply all over the place and really cringy to watch. You don't get any explanations for what the "society" is either or anything that is constantly mentioned in the show; you're just supposed to know it from the get-go but you don't. It's stupid.
Art 6/10: I don't have much to say about the art. It looked decent and I didn't notice anything that seemed off, except for the CG cars.
Sound 8/10: It feels like a waste that such a poor show had such good music, honestly. The tunes really got the mood right and were really pleasant to listen to. I was always waiting for the music to go on because it was really enjoyable.
Characters 3/10: I'll be honest, most of the cast was either boring, predictable or unbearable. My favorite character was George, the priest guy, who sadly enough only was in like 2 episodes. I'm disappointed that most of the dragons were lolis because I really can't stand loli characters because they tend to be either too annoying, too clingy, think they're adult when they're obviously not or they are just really fucking stupid and not cute at all. Another thing that really bothered me was that all along we get told that the main guy, Ryuji, is a "level 10 breaker" but we never get any kind of explanation on what the heck a breaker is and what their purpose or anything is?? Same thing in the end is that we learn that our main character is not actually human, even though he denies that he'd be anything else, and is actually a Lost Precious or a destroyer or something... but guess what? Yeah, no more explanations about that either and the explanation that is given is terribly fuzzy and just leaves you even more confused and unsatisfied than you already were; it feels like just a half-assed try to make the plot seem like he and his dragon loli can't be together. There were a lot of other stupid reasons too but they all felt like they were made up when the manuscript guy was sitting in the bathroom with watery diarrhea...
Oh and yeah, one thing that really bothered me was the whole "love at first sight" thing the dragons had going on. I mean really, first off it's super cliché and, secondly, how does that even work in reality? Most times when an egg hatches the first thing the kid will see is their mother and yeah, does that mean that all dragon kids would naturally want to fuck their mother because she's normally the first person they'd ever see and thus fall in love with? Incest much? :D Oh and since when did you desire or have any interest in your ultimate husbando/waifu the second you're born – shouldn't you just care about staying alive and getting fed? Just wondering??
Okay, that incest thing was not in Rose's case but I still found it to be a ridiculous and weak try at making our main couple's love legit and, besides, wouldn't love between a human and a dragon be considered bestiality anyway? Oh, and don't forget that they both are underage (approx. 15 years) and have the whole "engage" thing going on... ugh. I'm sorry but their whole "power-up engage" combat skills made me cringe for so many reasons.
...
Oh and let's not forget that completely useless schoolgirl who was so shy and always ended up in the shit when she wanted to confess her love to Ryuji. She was so generic that I felt sorry and ashamed just watching her fail all the time; she was so predictable it hurt and of course she doesn't end up with the main character in the end and does nothing actually plot-important. She's just there because every harem rom-com needs a shy schoolgirl who fails miserably and is there to be an awkward love rival.
Enjoyment 4/10: I don't know why I even watched this to the end. I guess I wanted to see what would happen even though I could predict it for the most part. Or I guess I kept hoping that it would get better... and then it didn't. I feel so frustrated because the base for the story had a lot of potential to be a deep and actually interesting story and they just completely wasted it on some poor loli rom-com that can't even explain what's going on in a way that makes sense and feels realistic. This show could have been some deep story about humans and dragons living together after waging war against each other, serious conflicts and all – it could have been so much more than what it was.
Overall 5/10: This anime is a waste of your time. It's okay if you are bored and need dragon lolis in your life. Don't expect any actually cool and powerful mythical dragons or dragon hybrids – expect silly dragons that look like little 10-year-old girls who can't even use their powers nor transform to actual dragons, save for sprouting wings. There are a few funny moments but those are few and far between and most of the time this series is really predictable, fucks up its chances and just makes you feel ashamed for the characters and the excruciatingly poor storywriting.
