Nope. Everything about the little guy is creepy from the get-go. Just go watch the first three episodes on crunchyroll ASAP.

Strange poll... Dragonite (an actual dragon) instead of Charizard (the best known dragon, who isn't even a dragon-type) and no Chibi from Dragon Drive (one of the rare shows that is entirely about dragons).

Ah, yes, #1…I thought Anthy would sort of side with her brother in some fashion, but I didn't think she would do all of that. As a result, the scene and the shock were priceless, particularly with the literal metaphor of her stabbing Utena in the back…

But something was sticking in my head... I just watched or rewatched something with a "dragon" in it that I thought I liked... what was it... what was it... oh yeah...
Hatori Sohma from Fruits Basket :wink: |
He doesn't even turn into an actual dragon, and no I'm not agreeing with that whole "all dragons start out as seahorses, and only some gain the opportunity to ascend to dragon-hood" garbage. Personally, it'd have been nice if he turned into an actual Chinese dragon. I'd have loved to see how that would have turned out.

Strange indeed. As the self-proclaimed resident anime dragon expert here, Chibi not being on the list is entirely and incredibly unacceptable. D:

Wow, for once, I'm actually familiar with all of them on the list. 
Although, I don't think Griffith is that much of a surprise, unless one totally forgets the whole series is a flashback after episode 1. I would think the first episode kind of gives it away... Of course, you can say the same thing about Vicious. Actually... yeah, everything said about Vicious can be applied to Griffith as well.

What is that suppose to mean? (If it's french for "And you, Brutus", it should be "Et toi, Brutus?")

I knew that  I was asking because "Et tu, Brute?" is totally incorrect in french, so it doesn't mean anything actually

They wouldn't have been speaking French, plebeian.

Protip: Caesar was not French. As for what he was, well if you don't want to be a philistine anymore then go find out.

Which eventually was revealed to be a big, fat lie meant as a disguise for a mental test, resulting in another tearjerker (for Gaara when he had the truth given to him at long last.)
Seriously, the characters in Naruto don't just shed tears -- they cry rivers.

Ehhh are you people that stup**? I never said Caesar was french or anything like that, my gosh!!!!
Read again the article and you'll see that in the introduction, the author wrote "Et tu, Brute?".... And I just corrected the sentence, I didn't make any historic comment, just linguistic...

But you didn't correct the sentence, because it's not french. It's Latin. It's a Latin phrase meaning "You too, Brutus" or "And You, Brutus."
What I'm confused about is that you say you know that Caesar isn't French, and you know that "Eu tu, Brute?" is what Caesar said to the guy who stabbed him in the back... so why did you wonder if it was in French? I guess it doesn't matter, you have your answer as to what it means and what language it is in now.
