Unlimited Fafnir

銃皇無尽のファフニール

Midgar, all-girl academy, would have been notable just for the action of accepting its first and only male student, Yuu Mononobe. But Midgar stands out for much more than that: it's a school exclusive to a group of girls known as D's. Each of them have extremely powerful abilities in generating dark matter and manipulating it into powerful weaponry. The D's didn't exist twenty-five years ago, and only appeared after a number of mysterious, destructive monsters known as "Dragons" started appearing around the world. Strangely, just as suddenly as they appeared, they vanished. In their destructive wake, some girls started being born with symbols on their bodies and powers similar in nature to those wielded by the Dragons themselves. Now the D's attend this school, hoping to harness and utilize their powers against the Dragons. Yuu is their latest member and is extraordinary for being the only known male D in existence. Now he must forge relationships with the girls around him, including his long separated sister who attends the school as well, and work with them to investigate and eliminate the threat of the powerful Dragons.

I wish the show was getting better along the time went since my first review after two eps. Well, for me it went better precisely but still not so special as Winter 2015 series. The story sets after incident, 25 years ago. The world was facing the fear out of the Dragons unexpectedly. When the world was in chaos, the chosen children emerged after the first occurrence of Dragons, they hold supernatural powers as Dragons, well-known as "D". The unforeseen male—the hero--suddenly transferred into a school which purposes to train D to be able using their powers as resistance of Dragons. Yuu Mononobe is transferred into a school where her little sister is studying by the somewhat military forces. And his everyday life begins to filled with bishoujo on that school. [first impression post]

As stated above, it's about the fight between the D who's going to be called by her dragon partner. As soon as the dragon in contact with the D also if D accepted it then they will turn instantly as the dragon itself. The focus of the show indeed D and dragon, not the dragon who endangers the life of mankind. The story progress somewhat episodic, by episodic I mean the class Yuu's in, would one by one, one after another to fight the different dragons. One dragon defeated, surely another dragon will come to haunt them. Even if it's quite episodic the show runs it smoothly with the spice of school life story.

    In sync with their fight to carry on, they also nicely develop their relationships (it doesn't just mean about the romance thingy). Like the burden of their past, the tighter connection among their groups, the teamwork they form in the battlefields, those are awesome for me. The bug of its progress may be lie on how the show made it looks so dramatic. Dude we know that their problems are hard and distressing but keeping on the drama for every problems are disgusting.
    When the story almost on its halfway, Tear-san appears and colouring the show nicely. The vibe and meaningful moments increasing. Tear-san comes to scene, the one who has enormous power as the D, is a fugitive of Dragon cultists. Eventho' Midgar's defense is strong (the academy Tear currently lives with Yuu and his friends), the anti-NILF D, named Kili Surtr Muspelheim is going to settle the score with its defense. The story is keep going not just centered to Tear-san. This is just a piece of moment that I mark.

    Too radiant colours of this show hurts my eyes in general, the most bothering part when they are on day-off goes to beach playing around nicely but the scenes are creeping me out with mammoths amount of lighting. When they are facing the battlefield. the colours are good. it goes well with every landscape rather than when they're in their usual normal life in Midgar. Summary, the graphics and artworks aspects are plenty except the radiant colours phase. Good magic spells and their motions using each skill are fairly enchanted here. Even if, to be honest, the characters design is not superb, their developments are something reckoned (•̀ᴗ•́)و 

    I can say the theme songs are nice, not too upbeat but I like it and still place it on my playlist especially the OP theme song sung by TRUSTRICK "FLYING FAFNIR". At first, I thought I only could turn my feelings into words for the theme songs as normal songs but I instantly like it after twice then thrice and more~ The ED song is sung by Rina Hidaka (Iris Freyja's seiyuu) & Manami Numakura (Mitsuki Mononobe's seiyuu) "Ray of bullet".

    From the pros and cons in this series, I definitely like it maybe because the friendship tastes so sweet here, they flow slowly but in a solid form as team and personal matters. Nice enjoyment here is 8~
Pros:

  • It flows nicely (sometimes too dramatic [cons])
  • Good meaning embodied in this show
  • Nice characterization and graphics (at first it's quite ecchi [cons])
