One of promising anime series that I was looking forward since it wasn't even aired, Juuou Mujin no Fafnir [銃皇無尽のファフニール / Unlimited Fafnir] series in Winter 2015. Originally the story of anime series is adapted from the Light Novel itself, by Tsukasa, accompanied by Riko Korie as illustrator started in the middle of 2013. Studio Diomedéa brought the series to a good show for me. 【Download the theme songs here ♪♩♫♬】 |
The [true] 1st impression made few weeks before the anime aired. From the poster and its plot well enough to draw my attention up to list it on my let's-try-this-one list. Up to that time, the 2nd ep of the show portrayed colours for the real show which was previously obscure.
As stated above, it's about the fight between the D who's going to be called by her dragon partner. As soon as the dragon in contact with the D also if D accepted it then they will turn instantly as the dragon itself. The focus of the show indeed D and dragon, not the dragon who endangers the life of mankind. The story progress somewhat episodic, by episodic I mean the class Yuu's in, would one by one, one after another to fight the different dragons. One dragon defeated, surely another dragon will come to haunt them. Even if it's quite episodic the show runs it smoothly with the spice of school life story. In sync with their fight to carry on, they also nicely develop their relationships (it doesn't just mean about the romance thingy). Like the burden of their past, the tighter connection among their groups, the teamwork they form in the battlefields, those are awesome for me. The bug of its progress may be lie on how the show made it looks so dramatic. Dude we know that their problems are hard and distressing but keeping on the drama for every problems are disgusting. When the story almost on its halfway, Tear-san appears and colouring the show nicely. The vibe and meaningful moments increasing. Tear-san comes to scene, the one who has enormous power as the D, is a fugitive of Dragon cultists. Eventho' Midgar's defense is strong (the academy Tear currently lives with Yuu and his friends), the anti-NILF D, named Kili Surtr Muspelheim is going to settle the score with its defense. The story is keep going not just centered to Tear-san. This is just a piece of moment that I mark. |
Too radiant colours of this show hurts my eyes in general, the most bothering part when they are on day-off goes to beach playing around nicely but the scenes are creeping me out with mammoths amount of lighting. When they are facing the battlefield. the colours are good. it goes well with every landscape rather than when they're in their usual normal life in Midgar. Summary, the graphics and artworks aspects are plenty except the radiant colours phase. Good magic spells and their motions using each skill are fairly enchanted here. Even if, to be honest, the characters design is not superb, their developments are something reckoned (•̀ᴗ•́)و
I can say the theme songs are nice, not too upbeat but I like it and still place it on my playlist especially the OP theme song sung by TRUSTRICK "FLYING FAFNIR". At first, I thought I only could turn my feelings into words for the theme songs as normal songs but I instantly like it after twice then thrice and more~ The ED song is sung by Rina Hidaka (Iris Freyja's seiyuu) & Manami Numakura (Mitsuki Mononobe's seiyuu) "Ray of bullet".
From the pros and cons in this series, I definitely like it maybe because the friendship tastes so sweet here, they flow slowly but in a solid form as team and personal matters. Nice enjoyment here is 8~
Pros:
- It flows nicely (sometimes too dramatic [cons])
- Good meaning embodied in this show
- Nice characterization and graphics (at first it's quite ecchi [cons])

Yuu-kun is quoting something to Mitsuki-chan, make her understand about Lisa's feeling over tragedy that happens involved their classmates who turned into Purple Kraken which pushed Mitsuki to annihilate her with her bow.
"It's tiring being angry or bitter over something for so long."
then, "Why don't you give Lisa an opportunity to forgive you?".
