Great concept but...

The pros: quite an interesting concept of human dragonauts riding powerful dragons after a process of resonance and dragons being born from eggs. Each dragon in his/her human form has distinctive personalities, very interesting characters and the relationships between different pairs of dragonaut-dragon are also very entertaining. I was excited from the very beginning. The transformation of dragons and their fighting styles were quite refreshing for a mecha anime. Toa - the main girl is so cool and it's indeed fascinating to watch a mecha series where the female protagonist is way stronger than the male one and keeps protecting him.

The cons: continuing with the previous point, it got to a point where seeing the main girl rescuing and protecting the main guy gets quite irritating. The truly strong guy isn't given enough love. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, character appearances were a problem as well. Granted, we see huge boobs everywhere in almost all anime series. However, with this anime, it's a bit too over the top and this style of animation sometimes prevents you from taking the story seriously. Other than this, the art is awesome. I enjoyed the first few episodes and as soon as i got enough explanations for the mysteries, i got bored and just skipped through to the end.

What a shame, it started out so well i was quite sure i would enjoy the whole thing :(
