Dragons, wars, demons... well, they have MY attention.

What's with anime and CG dragons? At this point they have gotten most CG to look reasonably good... but the dragons man, the freaking dragons always look... gaudy as hell.

It's like in Yu-Gi-Oh!, which is a compliment.

So... At the 1:51 mark, did Ibuki (judging by the white sleeves) commit seppuku, or at least tried to?

I'm also interested to see how ufotable's God Eater will affect my opinions about this show, and vice versa. Currently, the polarity between the optimistic and social-friendly Ore Monogatari!! and the pessimistic, introvert-inducing Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. Zoku are affecting my views about the shows (so far in a positive way, and having Eguchi Takuya voice the lead in both goes a long way.)

I agree; Jūō Mujin no Fafnir was centered around fighting dragons, and they all had clunky CG model movements and generally outdated CG look.

Jūō Mujin no Fafnir's dragon

not every studio can have ufotable level cgi. You gotta think of that

Man, this looks like it's got some money behind it. Real slick, and makes me even more hyped to see it. Has this been licensed for Western streaming yet? Like, Crunchyroll or Funimation?
As for the dragons, yeah those were a bit clunky. Hopefully they'll use them sparingly. Last Fall's Rage of Bahamut did their CGI dragons pretty well, though. Best I've seen in anime, honestly.

Does the dragon remind anyone else of Ddraig?

On surface level, I don't see anything too unique with this, but I can see the potential. Everything besides the CG dragon looks good. It just doesn't look natural to me.
