"in the form of a beautiful girl!" Of all the girls displayed on this key image, I'll give you 3 guesses which one this is referring to.

Hint: She's not wearing socks.

Hmm, dragon taming. That sound interes-

*sees nakes loli*

...uh, maybe this isn't the kind of show I think it is...

lol In all seriousness though, I'll give it the usual 3 episode rule. As long as its not constantly shoving naked little girls in my face, that is.

Or a scarf. Or... well, anything.

This sounds (and looks) like someone watched Dragon Crisis and went "Hmmm. Needs more 'Familiar of Zero'." Or maybe the other way around.

I've read the manga before so I'm curious how this adaptation will go. I hope for the better though.

This thing looks so damn generic that you'd think it's something that would run in the background in-story of a DIFFERENT anime.
ugh...

Zero no Tsukaima called, they want their generic plot back >.>

In all honesty, this sounds really forgettable. Token tsundere girl... oh btw she's also short and flat-chested! Only thing that would make me roll my eyes more is if Rie Kugimiya was chosen as her VA. And of course, Hiro Shimono for the male lead...

Only thing worse in recent memory is Rettousai...

Read the manga or light novels before you run your God Dam trap about something being generic. Every single anime even your precious Watanabe series or you Puella Madoka or your insert "masterpiece" here have many similarities to many works that came before them.

This show is not really loli fest despite the female dragon, who honestly isn't even the main heroine really. Its not Zero familiar and its not Dragon Crisis. If anything its kind of like legend of legendary heroes with a little Mon spice tossed on.

And really Zero's familiar is the one you are going to use in your snarky comment.........hundreds of years of European myth and history are calling they want their mages, dragons, and elves back. Or at least use Record of Lodoss War or something like that for your generic fantasy knock off comment.

PS - I apologize to Watanabe for using him in my example, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Boys on the slope are all well made works; but still its his style and direction that makes them great, storywise they use many elements and themes that have come before.

I called this the MOMENT I read it...Also they'd BETTER get Rie....

Also calling it now School Odyssey as well.

The harem anime market seems to never pass on a harem manga with a nice mix of action as well..
