The good:
Romance
Character Design
A few side characters
Soundtrack
Action
Fanservice The Average :
Some characters feel dumb
Some elements of the story feel forced
The CGI
Final minutes feel kinda rushed

interesting story premise executed mid af. starring a paper-thin characters you can't bother to care about other than how annoying they are and all the tiddies constantly flopping in your face cant fix these issues. im guessing this was an excuse to ship dragons and humans for the triumph of love or something like that. a heaping amount of pointless ugly 3d scenes as well, can't enhance the uninteresting combat sequences. tho i will say the first end theme is a banger and the soundtrack isn't bad. you might like it if you need a sleep aid, for which it works wonders, otherwise avoid it.

It's a story as old as time, a boy falls in love with a girl, who then turns out to be a dragon spaceship but he decides to still fuck the said spaceship.
Anyways, story is crap, characters are crap and no amount of alcohol will make this any close to being watchable. it is an absurd setting and honestly is the most idiotic nonsense of an anime ever.
The female protagonist here killed the male protagonist's family for fun while the "mother" wants to destroy the earth. The music in this anime isn't well though out and the characters are moronic and annoying. The only hope is for them to be all sent into the sun.

[This review contains minor spoilers] I've already done a full review of Dragonaut: the Resonance in the past, so giving this anime a fair grade wasn't necessarily racking my brain. What was racking my brain, however, was how much of a waste this anime was.
First off, the story. I actually really liked the idea of creating dragons and having them bond with masters to combat an unknown enemy that threatens to destroy mankind. It can allow for interesting ideas to be played with. What was unfortunate however, was how often it went off track (which can be fine, except that the detours this anime took were not all that interesting). The idea was great, it just floundered a bit in execution.
The characters, for the most part, were quite boring and bland, or just average. The main two of Jin a…

This anime is about what I've come to expect from Gonzo studio, below average. Dragonaut is below average in every way.
When they try to build dramatic tension, it feels manufactured and fake. The dismal character development doesn't help any either. The action sequences lack excitement. The story is decent enough, but the storytelling itself is just standard cookie-cutter storytelling. The anime just doesn't have much to draw you in. The only reason to watch this show, is if you have nothing better to watch.

I wanted to to love this show, but then the absolutely awful story (Oh you're being chased by an army of the enemy on their home planet? Don't worry you've got time for a two episode break at the hot springs, damn it the caught up to you and killed your friend), anoying as hell characters (Seriously WTF is up with Toa, "You won't be alone ever again Jin, you have me" *runs away next episode* rinse and repeat about 12 times in the series) add to that the horrible CGI dragon fights and confusing character alignments (everybody changes from friend to enemy [or vice versa] at least two or three times) that make it impossible to remember who we're supposed to be rooting for in the first place. Add to this the "fuck you" ending (wrap up the story with a BS " the power of love" ending, during the…

There are not many ways to say how I feel about this show. It is just bad, plain and simple. I watched all the way to the end, hoping that it would I would enjoy the final as it 'could' (false hope) finsh off the series with something memorable. On a side note, at the ending credits of the show, the subbers that did the show wrote a message along the lines of "You made it to the end, wow congrates, not many can do that!". Just by looking at the characters, you can tell who will die saving their "partner" and who the evil guy will be in the end. At the time of writing this review, I cannot remember anyone of the names. When something happens like that, it can only mean one thing, that they didnt do any character develop.
One thing postive about it was that they started the show off without…

Maybe I've said this before but I have this theory about [modern] anime. That it's become such a commodity now. These production companies just churn them out at such a fast pace they don't care too much about the actual quality. It's like McDonald's popping out Big Macs, the product is there, it's completed and the presentation certainly looks nice.......but there's no real value. Dragonaut would be such an example of this “anime fast food” phenomenon: it has a nice looking cast, decent artistic representation, it satisfies on a very superficial level with it's quick and easy character templates and fan-service, but there is no real substance to this series. Each of these elements are a dime a dozen, pick up any anime title now-a-days and you can find all of these same characteristics in…

Having just watched this series I think some people have given the show a rather bad score. Personal taste differ, and the CG scene were pretty fail but I rather enjoyed the show as a whole. As in any Anime there are always spots where it's not so everyones liking, but to be rates as low as it is on some post is rather harsh.
I've noted some people feel there was a lack in character development, and to some small extent there were area's of improvment especially around the romance interest on the two main characters ToA and Jin. they had a thing from the start and unlike many series they didn't dodge it w/ the shy looks and not being open about it, but even after much time together and "I love you's" I found it a little anoying to be blushing at a kiss in public in the later part of the s…

Prologue:
This is a review, I'm considering most of you know the plot/characters so I won't delve into details in those parts! Oh and this is my first review, therefore people, please be soft on the flaming!
Ok, as many of you can see, lots of other reviews have said this anime was something that seemed to be a waste of their time until the last few episodes. Personally, I would agree the Characters are pretty pathetic and they just keep repeating the same lines over and over again. HOLD ON! That doesn't mean this anime is a total trainwreck!
Story:
I personally found the story to be mediocre to great range...some of you might get confused cuz a lot of people relate the story and the characters together in their review.
Art:
Also, I found the attention to the detail in the art pretty…

Dragonaut: The Resonance: An amazing and emotional anime that will have you laughing or crying.
Story: The touching story of Jin Kamishina and dragons from a distant world. When humans meet these dragons, they go through what is called a Resonance, an emotional and physical bonding between the two. I found the story bringing tears to my eyes on several occasions. On the other hand, there are a few parts where there are events going on that make you kind of confused.
Art: Beautiful, outstanding artwork. Kudos to Satoshi Kinoshita for the original work.
Sound: Emotions were definately a main componant of the scoring. But, I found some character voices unfitting for the person. For on example, we have Yuko Goto as the very mature Machina.
Character: The characters all had unique and amazi…

When I sat down to watch this anime, I was aware of the reputation it had gotten. Lots of people had said it was terrible, lots of people said it was completely unwatchable. So I decided to sit down and try and see if they were right. I think some people may have over-reacted. Granted, I will say that Dragonaut is not the greatest show in the world. In fact it suffers from poor pacing, I think I fell asleep watching this show around seven times, now partly that may be because I watch my anime at night and I'm lying in bed but really a story should not be paced that poorly. Then there was the part about, I had trouble bringing myself to actually watch the show, because at times it Bored me. It's really hard to say when this anime finds it rhythm but needless to say it's not good when it tak…

I seriously dont know what lots of people have against this anime, its great and very underestimated. I guess maybe the CGI animation they do on the dragons really doesn't suit their taste and it ruins the whole series for them.
Story
This series is shounen and romance geared, if its the mecha or the action you are mostly interested in this is not for you.
Basicly this series mixes some half-baked action(I'm not saying the action is bad its just not the focus and is pretty rare in occurance) and some deep character designs, development and an overall shallow plot.
The thing with this series is that while the main plot is not so great they focus on character depth and the sub characters story is often being told while the main story is progressing but is at most time more interesting then…

the show dragonaut is an amazing shows that offers a great story line and animation. its about a boy and a girl that falls in love but its not one of those show thats all about love it more on the lines of the show eureka seven.
if you've ever seen the show eureka seven you'll know what im tallking about.
most shows end like it started but dragonaut is not one of those. the show starts off where it ended which is one of the great things about the show.
dragonaut is one of those shows that only comes around once in a few years.
like i said before the show offers a verity of stuff like love, romance, slice of life, and just plane out fun. the best part about dragonaut is that many main characters fall in love not just one. which brings me to my next point. the show also talks about other pe…

This story is about a boy who survived a shuttle accident that was caused by creatures known as dragons killing his family and how he came to love the dragon that caused the accident and their attempt to change the world.
The story is unique to some extent, but it has the typical save the world theme in a futuristic soceity where doom is approaching. It emphasizes on the meaning of sestiny and fate and how they differ, where one can be changed while the other cannot. It is somewhat interesting but i just didnt feel compelled to like it that much.
The art was quite good, i like the art, it is different from the usual animes that i watched, so nothing bad on that account.
The songs were quite ok. I think the songs did have some effect in the mood of the story though it was not so evident.…

Like said in other reviews... it started off good then went downhill from episode 2... seemingly like its saying I'm getting worse... stay with me... it was a decent story to begin with... but the horrible CG just ruined it 4 me.....
story:
overall it was a nice story....if not typical... but hey... how many ways is there to make this kind of genre... anyways it started out good... but as it progressed it became diluted with plot holes and things that seemed just thrown in here and there... overall it just didn't add up for me... in the end it was the characters that seem flat and each episode didn't seem to line up in terms of development... mainly with the main characters Jin and Toa... from their first meeting they in love and the rest of the time its just repeating the same scene over…

Disappointing. One word to describe this series. The anime starts of well, drawing the attention of the viewers only to let us down in the end. Or should I say, from the second episode.
Story: Well, the idea of humans and dragons co-existing with each other really caught my attention. It manages to hold on to it, until everything went downhill, badly. The beginning gives the viewer a fresh feel of what to expect in the series, with an interesting plot to keep us entertained. It starts of with the protagonist being stuck on a space shuttle that is destine to be doomed, but the story doesn't the focus on that, but focuses on the love between a dragon and a human. It may sound pretty nice at first, but trust me; Dragonaut isn't very nice - not nice at all. The producers throw in a bunch of…

Story:
The story starts off really giving you feel of a "saving the world" type of story. There's these people called Dragonauts who pilot dragons and are trying to save the world from Thanatos. However, this plot basically gets thrown to the side as the love story between Jin, a human (not a Dragonaut,) and Toa (a dragon.) The romance between them is okay in the beginning, but it quickly becomes so annoying and bothersome. Also, the huge twist in the plot that occurs like a little past half way through the series was a pretty dumb idea.
Art:
The artwork and animation is okay, but what really just completely ruins it is the CG animation that they use for the dragons. I personally just don't even like CG, but I can usually tolerate it. However, this I couldn't tolerate very well. The drago…

This show had a lot going for it: good clean animation, a range of interesting-looking characters, a reasonable story line...and dragons (because we all love dragons...well, I do)
The problems arise because all, or at least most, of this potential disappears due to a lack of following through.
The characters reveal themselves to be pretty detestable. I said they were interesting-looking, but once they started opening their mouths, well, that's a different matter. The only ones I didn't hate or at least dislike were the ones that never really had enough airtime for me to build up a dislike for them. They were mostly flat and underdeveloped and just plain irritating, although nowhere near as irritating as the protagonists, who just seemed to be very very stupid. Jin and Toa couldn't see beyo…

Dragonauts is another anime done by Gonzo. This show shows some promise, but due to certain presentation of its characters and style, it pretty much falls back quite a bit.
Story: The beginning of the show starts off with a young Kamashina Jin as he witnesses his family's deaths as their space shuttle gets blown to bits by a mysterious falling object from space. The main plot then follows an older Kamashina Jin as he gets thrust into a world of government secrets concerning "dragons", envoys sent by a living asteroid... thing called Thanatos floating around the remains of Pluto. Enter the Dragonauts, an elite team of humans paired up with their own artificially born Dragon. Jin and the Dragonauts are on opposing sides at first, but a government conspiracy eventually leads them to the same…
