Sayonara Ryuusei, Konnichiwa Jinsei
(One episode watched):
I'm a fan of isekai (or near-isekai) anime, and almost missed this series which falls into the latter category. But after watching an episode, it would seem that even if I had I wouldn't have missed much. Basically, what difference does it make that Dolan was once a dragon ? There's no sign that he intends to seek out the humans who once slayed him and take revenge upon them, or anything like that. Nor is there any sign that his past will allow him to sympathize with Celina in a way that other humans cannot. Based on just one episode it seems to me that the Dragon angle could be ommitted altogether and hardly anyone would notice the difference. It may be nothing but an excuse for Dolan to already be capable of 'perfect' offensive magic. But anyone can be a hero if they are born with extraordinary capabilities. Dolan is an upstanding young man without the slightest psychological issues of any sort, which makes him pretty boring. The illustration above suggests that the key to this series may be that Dolan will assemble a harem of tough and hot girls around himself. Along with Celina he fights an 'Earth Elemental', but that, too, was unexciting; he didn't employ any tricks that only a dragon would know. The fairly ditsy Celina is looking for a husband and Dolan would obviously make an excellent one, though for now they part ways. We meet a number of supporting characters but none of them have anything particularly unusual about them. I had feared that I would need to binge watch this show in order to catch up to the rest of the already 2/3 complete Fall 2024 anime I'm watching, but now I think I can safely say that won't be necessary at all.
