It needs to be dark, so no happy endings and people need to kill each other for the sole sake of earning that "dark" badge, no matter how pointless. Basically, a studio exec decided to make a dark fantasy following a cookie cutter formula.
Caveman-like, basic dialogue with crude, ill-defined small stories of human depravity while the MC descends into hell himself. This is a parody of a dark fantasy, simplified and boiled down to a script children could perform on a stage. However, as I wrote in the beginning, I see this as an independent story within the universe, so it's perfectly fine in my opinion. It was a bit sad that the plot replaced the purpose of the Dragon to be a test for the position of the Seneschal with this watered down one. Monsters in the show are Cyclops, Griffin, Hydra, Lich and. Regarding content there is quite a bit nudity, sexual themes and gore. I cannot comment on the English dub as I haven't seen that one (yet).Įxcept for the OP, the music is unfortunately low-key and exchangeable with any generic soundtrack. Depending on your understanding of Japanese, the subtitles will definitely annoy you quite often. There is however a huge difference in script between JP and EN which you notice when watching JP audio with EN subtitles where it's more than often not only "they say it different in English" but "they say something completely different". The Japanese voice acting is good, they chose a fitting cast for the roles. The big monsters break the cel-shading illusion though, but it's not nearly as bad as I initially thought it would be, but it might put off viewers. The character's expressions are really well made and can hold up with GBVS, even some side characters have a great expression range and have been given much detail with their movement and posing. Especially at the final scene of the show they mix 3D and 2D character animation which is quite bad. Where they had no 3D models for characters they reverted to limited hand drawn animation, which is noticeable. The animation is not consistent but stays on an above average level.
Even the characters you at first don't expect to. With time, these plots become a bit more difficult as everyone is prone to be corrupted by one of the sins in question. They are easy to understand, there's a clear "good" and "evil" theme surrounding them at first. The short stories the sins evolve around are simple. The first FF game may have set the tone, world and terms, but it's not the defining game that has no equal, as the years clearly showed. Obviously this story and setting was changed to match the MMORPG genre, but this shows that DD is a franchise of stories instead of a single one, similar to Final Fantasy. I say this especially because Dragon's Dogma Online, which went with a completely different story and setting where Arisen are chosen ones by the White Dragon of Lestania to carry out its will, shows exactly that. Dragon's Dogma Progress and Dragon's Dogma Online. Especially since we know of the 7 Sins concept since the show's OP has been made public.ĭragon's Dogma, in my opinion, is not a story about exactly one tale that has been depicted in the Dragon's Dogma game, but a term for a universe setting involving key mechanics which are the Arisens, Pawns and Dragons in question: A franchise. Personally, I was surprised but not appalled by it. Many fans will be disappointed by how it picks up the Dragon/Arisen tale and combines it with the concept of Sin. It's not a great show, but it's pretty good for what it is.
