Default Dragon Crisis! Discussion Thread

I have theory that series will have a crisis involving a dragon. Let's find out if I'm right or not!

Here's a link to the web radio (hosted by Shimono Hiro & Kugimiya Rie) for anyone that's interested:

Default Episode 1

Eriko is amazing and Rose is adorable. Some other nice girls as well. Yeah, I think this might have potential.

Although I hope Rose will eventually (and won't take too long to) start talking normally. Her way is going to be cute in the short term, but will have its limits in the long term.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Her interactions are decently cute so far, though. I was surprised she didn't come out of the case naked, but of course she ended up naked in at least one part of the first episode.

A good bit of the early part was rather confusing with the "Lost Precious" and "Society" stuff getting thrown around. I guess the will relate to the "plot" and we'll find out more, but I don't know if I should expect much of that.

Also how often does the Swahili language come up in anime? That must be pretty rare...

This was a good way towards becoming very tedious until Rose showed up, so it doesn't leave me overlly positive unless she fulfills her potential (at the very least, I agree with the above comments about how her cuteness atm will only work short-term). In the bottom three of the episode 1s I've watched so far from this season.

A decent if not particularly original first episode. Rie Kugimiya sure gets a lot of work saying -yuji names cutely. It looks like there is potential for some good action scenes and Rose is cute so I'll be sticking with it for now.

Opening is passable. Misaki is cute but she has no chance. Eriko is hot.

The CG and the character designs--especially the eyes--rub me the wrong way. Oh, and the randomly pointy noises. The seiyuu are good picks though.

What would happen if Index was crossed with Louise and they had a child with Chii... Ah hell. I don't know anymore.

I'll give it another episode, at least.

Wasn't sure what to think of this from just the promo materials, but after the first episode it's looking like it could be a lot of fun. Didn't quite expect the 'flame on' that happened almost immediately after Rose got out of the box. Kind of hard to not snicker a bit at a Kugimiya loli running around yelling, "Ryuji!" left and right. I expect to see no shortage of Rose/Taiga seiyuu-joke fan art shortly...

That was cute overall. The tone is light and this looks to be some harmless fun.

This probably sounded like an absolutely genius idea at the time, but overall I didn't think it drew favorable comparisons for the show.
