| Topic | Robazoid Ranks 275 Anime and Top 100 Anime Characters (recommend me stuff too) |
| Robazoid 08/20/22 5:56:46 PM #281: | 206. Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan https://myanimelist.net/anime/36884/Hisone_to_Maso-tan Spring 2018 (12 episodes) My Score: 3/10, MAL Score: 7.32/10 Best Character: Amakasu Hisone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnVCGLh8ZW4 Premise: Amakasu Hisone joins the Japanese air force hoping to find a purpose in life. Then it turns out shes the only one compatible with Masotan, a dragon who swallows its pilot. The Good: I enjoyed Dragon Pilot a lot the first time I watched it. It was absurd in a lot of great ways, starting with the concept of people piloting dragons disguised as airplanes from inside of their guts. Hisone is fun too, she has no filter and always says whats on her mind. Her friendly bluntness led to a lot of great jokes. The Bad: I rewatched this in preparation for this ranking, and Dragon Pilot did not hold up to a second viewing. The first time through it was fun wondering what craziness would happen next. Even with only hazy memories on rewatch, the magic was gone. The overall theme is confused. As soon as this goes from being about finding a purpose to being about love, Dragon Pilot falls apart and never recovers. Hisones arc also didnt feel earned, a lot of things worked out just because she wanted them to. I still considered putting her in my top 100 characters because she is fun, and itd be nice to have a spoiler section to complain about some things. The bad parts with her outweighed the good by the end, though, so she doesnt deserve a spot. Overall: Years ago, Dragon Pilot made it onto a list I made of fifteen anime from 2018 that I recommended people watch. It still might be worth it for a first-time viewer, but its zaniness doesnt have much substance and I found a lot of flaws when I rewatched it. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard! |
