STRANGE DRAGON MANGA REVIEW


 

STRANGE DRAGON MANGA REVIEW
-ISHIHARA KEIKO
(APRIL 13 2019)


Overall: 8

Plot: 8

The story focuses on a young princess who's in search of a dragon in order to get back the throne of her deceased father. Though the story is fast paced since it only contains 12 chapters, it clearly show the purpose the creator wanted the viewer to see. The will of the princess to take over the land and make up for the citizens who was treated poorly by the previous King, and the faithfulness of the dragon in her. Feels like a shorter and simpler version of Akatsuki no Yona. What is interesting on this manga is how the story show that not all we believe is true, that it is not appearance that matters. Yes, its kind of cliché but the way the creator laid it is great. 

Characters: 7

Since the story is short, the chance for the characters to grow is critical. If not, impossible. Though it is minimal, the changes of the characters is there. How the guardian dragon excel in order to protect the princess is quite a catch. He change in a little bit of time he had. While he changed, the princess might take time. Yes, there are scenarios where she needs to stand up and speak for herself and that's good. It is understandable that growing in the position she have will take a lot of effort and time to achieve. 

Art: 10

How I love the art of this one. It is cool, and polished. Every shade is almost perfect, the proportions of the body is great, and how the lips of the characters were made is really really attractive. It is such a waste that there is no colored page of how the dragon looks like. Just wanna see it with colors.

Enjoyment: 7

There's only a few stories which I love even if it is fast paced. It is because of the rarity of story, the way the story goes without a single loophole on it, with a thought that it really ends there. I love Historical Stories so it is a plus for this one. If only it is longer, I think I will enjoy it more. Since this type of story needs more time to grow and more adventures to encounter.  

Ending: 8

The way the story ends by making the entity, the citizens believed in, the enemy is a great one. It is unexpected but expected. It is expected to the point that there should be an enemy the guardian dragon must overcome and unexpected that it is them. That is just how the story goes. The main point is how the guardian dragon accepts his bitter faith in order to love the princess and stay together. Even if he know that it will end the way he don't want to.

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI When you thought that the story ends after the Winter Cup Tournament, this movie turns out to be the final phase of the story. Well, basketball does not end in one's country. After winning the game, there is no doubt that another player, much more talented, much more better, will go your way. During the movie, American Basketball Team, famous in the field of Basketball visited Japan. A point where all of the members of the Generations of Miracles, along with Kuroko and Kagami, will have to fight them comes. It is a very interesting and exciting movie since it will be the first time showing how they play as a real team. How they realize that there are players who can match up on their level, who can take them head on, that will trigger them to do more than what they are doing. And to depend on their teammates because basketball is a five player game and not one. Well, Kuroko did made them realize that fact. What I find k...

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI 1. Movie 1 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Kage to Hikari 2. Movie 2 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Namida no Saki e 3. Movie 3 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Tobira no Mukou Movie one, two, and three is a summarize version of Season one, two, and three. Though unlike the Season one series where it tackles first the plays Seirin made in order to participate in the Winter Cup and Season 2 moving on to the tournament itself, the Movies focuses on the Winter Cup alone and show only a bit of introduction from the Season one series. The movies consist of the highlights and the outplays Team Seirin did in order to defeat every team with a Generation of Miracles member. It is a waste not to watch them but I decided not to. Not because it will be a waste of time but I know that watching it will make my memory jumble. Since I've watched each episodes of all three seasons, I already know how the story goes. But apart from that fact, every bit of extras, no...
