Summary: The funniest anime I have seen so far
Review: Ah, if only all anime could be this funny.. but again, that's "so far"; I haven't seen a whole lot of anime. But it's got to be hard to top this one, which doesn't rely on parodies of pop culture or other anime or what-have-you to be funny.. this anime basically tells you that no one-- from the most incompetent to the strongest, bravest, most heroic person-- is safe from a stupid or embarrassing situation. I love when someone does something weird or stupid in anime-- often times their expressions and reactions are supremely goofy, and it's played to the hilt in this one. Characters suddenly become 2-3 feet tall and are deformed with tiny limbs and bugged-out eyes-- I love it!! And these silly situations are what made this movie awesome for me. Even if you don't like anime you're bound to laugh out loud at the off-the-wall humor in this one. BUY IT!!!

Summary: I, Keith, loved this!
Review: Dragon Half has to be one of the silliest and funniest things I've ever seen. In fact it's not entirely unlike a Japanese animated Monty Python! It mocks the conventions of both anime and the fantasy genre (a villain character walks in surrounded by smoke, with a caption pointing to it saying 'Dry Ice' and in another shot you can see a bucket of dry ice behind him; the hilariously inept Damuramu (sp?) comes back after his supposed death as 'Mecha-Damuramu'! Priceless!).The plot, such as there is, centres around Mink, the half-human half-dragon of the title, who goes on a quest to get a potion to make her fully human to win the attention of the pop singer/dragonslayer Dick Saucer. Or something like that. ;) There's also a bald king who's annoyed with Mink's dad for marrying the dragon he was meant to kill, the king's sorceress daughter who is half slime and president of the Dick Saucer fan club, the previously mentioned Damuramu, who is sent by the king to kill Mink, and much, much more. The story abounds with colourful incidents, insane dialogue, scantily clad women, gratuitous explosions, and ridiculous violence. The animation style changes constantly, going more cartoony when things are particularly crazy, at other times becoming more realistic anime.

Summary: short but very funny
Review: Dragon Half is more fun than Slayers. Dragon Half is about an evil King's desire to marry a red dragon by holding the red dragon's daughter hostage. The king sends out an evil sorcerer and and evil champion to capture the half dragon daughter. Damaramu, the (parody of an) evil champion, makes the show a success with some of the funniest scenes in anime. It's only two episodes, but at least it has some replay value. The english dub is excellent, so there is no need to read subtitles with this DVD. However, parents should know that there is a very brief topless scene at the end.

Summary: very, very funny
Review: Dragon Half is the tale of a cute half-dragon named Mink, and her hilarious journey to get her crush, idol singer and unfortunetly dragon-slayer Dick Saucer, and rid herself of the problems of having a tale, wings, and horns. This anime is truely funny, and I'd say that in about 75% of these two OAV episodes the characters are super-deformed, indeed, I'd even say there are different levels of there super-diformaty, and their voice pitches change with these levels. the show really does not take itself seriously, and will probly make any but the most serious person laugh at its sheer sillyness. However, this is not for every one. There is a very small amount of blood, some mature situations, and a scene of brief nudity at the end. However, its all so hilarious that no one should care too much. If your in the mood for some insanity and hilarity, go out and buy this as soon as possible. This OAV is worth it just for the ending theme!

Summary: Funniest cartoon movie I've ever seen.
Review: I laughed so hard while watching this movie that I gave myself a headache. I love it, my wife loves it, my kids love it, and I only wish there was more in the series. At first I didn't like the fact that the audio is Japanese w/English subtitles, but it's actually a nice change of pace to hear the original voice actors. The song at the end of each episode is easily worth the price of the entire movie. If you like Anime and comical cartoon violence you can't go wrong with this movie.

Summary: it's allright
Review: I love anime, all kinds of anime. A good serious anime, an experimental anime, an artistic anime, and of course, a comedy anime. Having read reviews here at amazon, and at a few other places, I thought that Dragon Half was going to be a new favorite of mine. It didn't quite measure up. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and I recommend it to most folks, but it doesn't quite have the well rounded feel of a comedy like The Slayers. It's full of halarious pranks, decent voice casting (I'm refering to the Japanese seiyuu here, I have no idea about the dubbed release), and some cute characters. But, the animation techniques killed something for me. I respect the use of "super deformed/super cute" characters for specific gags or visual effects, but nearly half of Dragon Half was animated like that, and it really isn't as entertaining to me to see deformed characters going about there business, as it is to see them drawn normally for the most part, and then switch over to preform a joke or gag. Setting that fact aside, Dragon Half was great. The slapstick nature reached new heights of outrageousness, with falling anvils, unpredictability, and indecent exposuer, all while following a plot that is ridiculous in nature. It's fun, but if your looking for a comedy that you can watch again and again, I'd go for The Slayers instead.

Summary: Excellent parody of medival adventure anime
Review: I picked up this one because my books on anime claim Dragon Half is one of the best parodies ever. Was pleasantly suprised. they weren't kidding. This series pokes fun at typical story lines, juxtapositions things incorrectly and even abuses animation techniques! First off, it's very cute. Actually designed to be too cute. The animation element of "super deformed" tiny cute characters is used excessively instead of special emphasis mini-scenes. Second, the plot is truely wacked out. It starts out as a medival story but then is modernized with idol singers and concerts. It's like one scrambled episodes of the ever popular Slayers series with Bubble Gum Crisis. Makes no real sense, but that's it's charm. Third, absurdity beyond limits occurs when you figure out what Dragon Half really means. It's somewhat sick, so it's not for kids under 12. It's more for teenagers and those of us who still refuse to completely grow up. Must buy for three sorts of people: (1) Those who love parodies
(2) Fans of the Slayers anime series
(3) Collectors of "best of class" anime

Summary: Gary Newman
Review: I saw a fan sub of this about three years ago and fell totally in love with it. Ever since, I have been longing to get hold of a copy of this (which is possibly one of my favourite animes), and now my prayers have been answered in the form of the realease of this DVD. This has to be one of the wackiest anime titles I have ever seen. The basis of the story follows the tale of a half-human, half-dragon girl on her quest to look more human. She falls for a handsom pop-singer who also happens to be a dragon slayer... If you love SD (super deformed) anime you will LOVE this.... The anime characters spontaneously switch from normal to SD when you least expect it. This anime is a total wack job...hillarious stuff.
