Dragon Slayer is good old classic fun. It's got dragons, it's got magic, it's got action, it's got it all. The story might be the most technically generic it could possibly be, with an evil sorcerer and a boisterous prince who was spirited away after his kingdom was conquered, and who is destined under the tutelage of an old mentor to return and defeat that evil that despoiled the land, as he cultivates his physical and metaphysical prowess. Add on a scrappy resistance movement and a journey to retrieve an ancient weapon, and you've basically got yourself a paint-by-numbers 90s fantasy action OVA. Even its name is generic! This isn't to say that it's not fun- it is! That's just to say that it's not all that special in the storytelling department. More of a beer and pizza with friends kind…

This anime is fun nothing more nothing less
Not even close to a masterpiece,maybe not even decent for most people but if you like the most generic fantasy plot ever made with some great art/animation give it a shot,Don't expect anything from the characters tho and the pacing is terrible too but this might be just what you need with only 2 episodes the only thing you have to lose is your time
Art 7/10
Animation 9/10 (moves great)
Sound 7/10 (most fantasy sounding thing you will find)
Characters 5/10 LUL
Enjoyment 10/10 (seen it at the right time at the right place)
7/10 would slay dragons again

Story
-Is modern life growing dull? Do you need excitement in your life? Do you wonder what life happened shortly after the caveman era but long before your life? While no one can vouch for the authenticity behind the show it is a nice thought of what could have happened. When you see the show it might provide more pleasure and respect to our airplane crew.
-Introduction was delivered in an appropriate fashion by having narration before the actual story unfolded.
-Conclusion. Most show i have seen modern and old are fairly simple with their endings. Either a character wins the battle or loses. Here we get that and a bit more comedy wise. While they don't announce the final joke they make a good hint at with the drawings. A very cleaver idea of show vs tell. Which…

Animated adaptations of video games are a pretty mixed bag, especially really old ones like Dragon Slayer, a game most Falcom fans don't even really know. Despite that, and despite most of the actual writing in the OVA being pretty bad, Dragon Slayer manages to be a pretty fun experience with lightning fast pacing, some funny scenes and pretty great action capped off with the perfect kind of cheesy, lighthearted ending.
With over-the-top, goofy characters who are introduced and sent off with giant explosions and table-destroying brooms, nothing in Dragon Slayer will blow your mind, but it will put it on a fun rollercoaster for fifty minutes.
