Dragon Hunters - Die Drachenjäger

I wonder why this cartoon seems to be nearly unknown: it's not a masterpiece for sure, but it's worthy see. Here we have the enterprises of Gwizdo e Lian-Chu, two dragon hunters who lives in a fantastic world of floating island. The first is a cowardly but speedy-talked young man whose passion is to have a contract signed for his job of everyday: the dragon hunting. But it's his big comrade Lian-Chu (as big as he's good)to fight against their amazing enemies. That's it, the dragons are almost always defeated, but hardly our heroes manage to be paid for this. Every episode told a story, not only the chase (that is actually left on the background), and each of these is an amusing adventure all to be enjoyed. I repeat: this series can be not a masterpiece, but it's a little jewel, very original especially for an European production (of animation, for in the French comics we can see more better things of this kind). Last thing: pay attention to the catchy opening theme, "The dragon hunters song" by the Cure!

Well done and original series, created with great imagination. The characters are not stereotyped and break the usual canons of the warrior and the fable in danger in a world populated by an exaggerated number of species of dragons and by flying islands.

This to me is a Masterpiece! I LOVED every second of those show. The voice actors were AMAZING in all of the regions this was shown in! You can't help but absolutely love the beautifully detailed work on the backgrounds of the series. When I first watched this, I thought the BGs were simply breath taking..it helped take me to their little world they were in. The characters all have their own unique personalities and completely compliment each other in that way. This helps to bring out the comedy in many situations.

This series is action packed, with bits of comedy and great lessons as well! I'm sure kids of all ages would love this series. Gwizdo and Lian-Chu are Dragon Hunters. They of course, go around hunting dragons but in situations sometimes never get paid for their work! Gwizdo is obsessed with his contracts and gold, while Lian-Chu is more for just trying to help out those who need it. As stated in another posters comment, Gwizdo is abit of a scaredy cat, always running away when it comes time to fight the dragon. Something crazy always happens to these two..This is definitely one of THEE best cartoons i've watched in a long time. It's such a shame Cartoon Network didn't give it much respect... =/

I remember going to my local library every week with my brother as children and renting out this animated show! I remember this dope intro where the big Asian-looking guy and his little fighting friends, would jump out of their flying ship. Somehow the large fella would slice the screen with his sword! Lol, it was great. Anyways we would always watch it together and sing along with theme song. For some reason I had thought the song was "Best Day of My Life" by the American authors. So I was stumped when I could never find this show! Turns out this is a French show!! So that defiantly wasn't the song. Anyway, I'm so happy to have found this show; Chasseurs de dragons! I cant wait to re-watch it with my brother, and hope it lives up to the nostalgia!!

The show is nice but the only issue i find is that it is impossible to buy it anywhere

other than that it was a good show when it was available
