10:23 AM on 09.07.2007   |   Jim Sterling


The guys at Gamertag Radio have shared with us episode one of the accompanying anime series based on Xbox 360 RPG Blue Dragon. Subtitled for your non-Japanese convenience, it looks like your standard anime madness with overemotional opening theme tune. Still, if any of you actually like Blue Dragon, do enjoy and remember that you can check out all your anime culture news from our sister site, Japanator.

Hit the jump for the second and third parts of the show.

They should have used the boss music in the videogame!

I like how the cast comes up together at the end of the intro exactly like Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. I also like how the guy in the back with the blond fro looks almost identical to this...
Akira Toriyama loves to recycle!

MS should have tried to get this made for when the game came out in Japan. That would have been a smart move.

Well I, for one, never knew that "my friend" in Japanese is "my friend," and XBox is "Xbox." And I learned something today.

@Alex
Methinks the poster might protest too much.

I didn't like Blue Dragon much at all when the subs first came out. It just seemed like an uninspired Dragonball, and there wasn't much energy to it.

Hmm, guess I'm sticking with the big 3 and Claymore.

omg. I couldn't watch past the opening.

The thing reeks of meh.



I mean, the show opens up with the main character on a cliff.

It actually came out in Japan a couple of months ago, about a 2 months after the Blue Dragon game release, so it was pretty well timed. The manga (written/drawn can't remember by Takashi Obata- Death Note) came out to coincide with the game as well in SJ. They went pretty all out on Blue Dragon, but all in all it was a bit of a waste as the whole franchise is pretty shit tbf. If I've fucked up all my grammar/flow (ie make no sense) in this comment etc it's cos im pissed ;-)
