Dragon Half

Summary: Too cute to live
Review: I wasn't expecting much from this one, but was very pleasantly pleased by it. The closing theme song alone is worth it. In typical fashion the half-dragon protagonist is ga-ga over the boy-toy superstar dragon-slayer so her actions to assist her hero manage to do far more damage than good. Damarama is too funny... I prefered the Japanese cast...

Summary: The Funniest Silliest Anime Ever
Review: Okay I've seen Slayers, Ranma, and many other fluffy animes and what do I come across. Possibly the funniest anime ever released. And like another one of my favorite animes there is a VERY limited selection of tapes. In fact this is the only tape in the series. But there is a selection of magna available but it is not, however, in English. Oh and for the record you should be warned this is a slapstick comedy type show it is not serious. In fact its less serious and more funny than the best Slayers. BUT IT CONTAINS NO PLOT AT ALL. Just warning the people that think that a show requires a plot. But all in all the funniest anime ever released ever. And I mean ever.

Summary: Funny, zany, cute, and way too short a series.
Review: The two-episode series only flaw seems to be in its shortness. It deftly lampoons everything, from cheesy hero types, to ultimate martial arts contests. There are things taken from Slayers, Record of Lodoss War, Ranma 1/2, Dragonball, and many other familiar series to anime regulars. Despite all the borrowing from other anime, it has its own very original plot.

The plot, which is really secondary to the comedy, involves Mink (the dragon half) wanting to see her hero, Pop Singer, Dick Saucer (who is also a dragon slayer) in concert. His profession does not seem to bother the naive, and totally infatuated Mink. In her way are a vengeful King (think Emperor Pilaf of Dragonball), his evil toady-like servant, his jealous sorceress daughter, Damaramu, (an incredibly inept hero type) and lastly Dick Saucer. Mink manages to defeat them all, due to her total honesty, her genuine concern for others, and some really kick-butt strength, due to her half dragon heritage.

Mink, the half-girl, half dragon, besides being cute, is a very likable, engaging character. She becomes a surprisingly well developed character in this short, but eventful series. Even the songs, (which involve Mink) are cute and funny in this series. I only wish they'd done at least a "half" season of Dragon Half. I would gladly follow the exploits of Mink, for at least that long. Check out the look between Mink, and Damaramu's bird, at the end of their first confrontation, it's just priceless.

Summary: Kawaii!
Review: This anime is super Kawaii (cute) and super funny. A spoof approach to fantasy adventures that takes no prisoners. Even friends of mine who are not into amine, and are definately not used to the super deformed style shown in this anime, were laughting thought it. A brilliant buy, especially if your depressed! A pity that only two episodes are availble as of yet.

Summary: How could you NOT see this?
Review: This is the best ever! If you have seen it you probley agree, and if you haven't you will when you see it! My friends and i were very scepical at first(***some of the preveiws are not for the weak at heart), but then we watched it for about 30 seconds and we fell in love with it. There is a plot, but it is very hard to find. Mink, the main charter, is the perfect example of a teenager. She is totaly normal except one thing, shes half dragon( ergo, the title). Her quest is to find a people potion, and to see Dick Saucer- a singer/dragonslayer- in concert. The ending song "the omelette song" is as funnie as the anime. I f only they had made more than this...
