7/10
Dragonar Academy
2 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Set in a land where certain people are destined to 'give birth' to dragons; protagonist Ash Blake attends the Dragonar Academy. He is unusual for two reasons; unlike other students who can only ride their own dragons he can ride any and unlike the others his dragon has yet to appear. It soon does though and she is nothing like any other dragon; she looks like a young girl! Ash names his dragon Eco and she declares that she is his master… clearly their relationship won't be what he expected. Over the course of the series Ash and Eco will have to deal with other troublesome dragons as well as more political problems leading to actions and laughs along the way.

This was a rather fun series despite being a little cliché. The story is easy to follow and the characters fairly likable. The animation looked fairly good. There is a fair amount of action and one or two twists along the way. On the down side the female character's costumes have clearly been designed with fan service in mind… a pity as the story itself feels aimed at younger viewers. There is also some nudity; although this at least is shown in a fairly innocent way. Overall I'd recommend watching this; it may be the sort of series that is quickly forgotten once you've finished but it is fun while one is watching.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
