Goodbye, Dragon Life (2024)
[γγγγͺγη«ηγγγγ«γ‘γ―δΊΊη]
Director: Kenichi Nishida
Studio: SynergySP, Vega Entertainment
Starring: Shunsuke Takeuchi, Hitomi Sekine, Ayaka Ohashi
Episodes: 12
Synopsis:
After being slain, an ancient dragon is reincarnated as a human and seeks fulfillment in his new mortal life as a common villager.
Impressions:
We have a reincarnation story that is straight fantasy rather than isekai, so that's something. Predictably, our lead Dolan still has all his OP dragon powers with no real drawbacks for balance, so don't look for much tension in any battle he gets involved in. Also predictably, he has quite a few ladies gravitate toward him, not just the main lamia waifu Celina. (Dolan may be human, but he still likes his girls scaly.) So far, this description probably hasn't been sounding that great, but it is a reasonably competent story for what it is. Production values are nothing amazing but similarly competent. In other words, there's nothing incredibly compelling here but it's still a passable watch and if, for instance, you find something to latch onto like Celina, you may find it worth your while. Overall, though, I'll say take it or leave it.
50/50
