Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan

There's something wonderful about this cartoon in the way it presents itself and is animated.

The plot is at times confusing often leading you to wonder where on earth it's going and how it's going to get there and that alone captivates you right up to the end at which point you wonder how you got there.

An enjoyable journey, whimsical and innocent. One to watch if light hearted animation is your thing.

Dragon Pilot's trailer enticed me to the series because it reminded me of How To Train Your Dragon, still an excellent animated film. It shows a girl who gets picked by a dragon and doesn't understand what is happening at all; it seemed like it'd be funny, and at 12 episodes, it wouldn't hurt to watch it. What I got was a highly original concept, some stunning art and animation from legendary studio, Bones, and some solid voice work--not to mention a killer soundtrack. The Story: Some characters come off as tropey in the beginning, but do not discount them yet. There is a lot of growth to be had between them all, and it seems like there are some more stories to be told here. One of the characters aspires to be a combat pilot, what of her dream? Hopefully a season 2 comes soon. Overall the plot is wholly original, and i will not spoil what happens, but it does echo HTTYD in a lot of respects. Animation: Smooth overall, not many noticeably lower quality cells. Sound: Voices are good, some of my personal favorite American VAs are present here, such as Christine Marie Cabanos of K-On! and Squid Girl fame, Erica Harlacher of Persona 5 and Toradora, not to mention Bryce Pappenbrook from Attack on Titan and Durarara. Soundtrack is great, the big standout is the credits song.

tl;dr good anime if you liked How To Train Your Dragon. Prepare for a bit of an "earn your happy ending" though.

I've watched the show a good few times, and me being somebody who loves dragons and fighter aircraft, I can say I loved the show. The story, while not what I initially expected, wasn't bad by any means, but as somebody on the internet said at some point, "It looks like it exists solely to fulfill somebody's dragon vore fetish fantasy." Which I agree with in some capacity, but the characters are fun, unique, and have very obvious flaws that make their eccentricities all the more great.

My only regret is knowing this probably isn't popular enough to receive a new season, because twelve episodes just didn't feel enough. Overall though, I recommend at least trying it, because I was surprised when I first watched it as well.

Not a big fan. Although its something original (out of norm storyline) but not a huge fan of the characters designs. The use of light tone and oil painting colors didnt appeal to me. The animation style reminds me of crayon shin chan and atashinchi (huge fan of those), it doesnt go well with the plot. Mediocre sound scores, very patriotical. Few actions, very comedic and can fall under scifi category. Cute ending song and typical japanese opening song. Not a fan of any of these characters especially hisone (tend to be very annoying and judgemental) and masotan was cute in unlikelable way. Anyway not my cup of tea, stop watching halfway as theres no solid plot, strong enough to keep me continuing. Worth trying.

I don't know what it is about the animation, but it nails emotion through visuals. I laugh out loud often, and love the voice actors. There are times when it does not seem to know what it is, or what direction to go, but I'm only halfway through so all may reveal itself. Either way I'm loving it.
