In addition, there are also MMORPG deliveries for cell phones. The story is part of the new narratives of fantastic and adventure worlds, I tell you everything you can expect.
Should you give Dragon Raja a chance?
What is Dragon Raja about?
Dragon Raja is a kind of dream installment of alternative and parallel worlds, it stars Lu Mingfei, a young man who spends his time playing video games and doesn’t leave the house, is not popular at school and lives with some guys who mistreat him, so we start with a story similar to that of Solo Leveling which, although, Lu manages to contrast with Jinwoo because Mingfei doesn’t feel that sorry for himself and He prefers to live a peaceful life without complications.
However, it will not happen like that, because he has more special things than he thinks, in fact, he is an abandoned son because his supposed parents have more important tasks, although we know that our protagonist is much more than this—someone’s son. Lu Mingfei an aura full of fantasy that will allow us to generate a different perspective of the character.
The approach of the story, before nuanced the real world full of technology, shows us a traditional space full of viscera and magical abilities, as well as hierarchical structures and dark prophecies. Our protagonist drinks a drink that will make him “sleep” while he waits for his brother’s arrival to raise a banner and die. Although it seems that this other world full of mysteries slowly unfolds in the technological world to which Lu Mingfei now belongs and in which he remembers that he should not trust humans.
Remembering nothing but the terrible life he leads, Lu Mingfei will be invited to the prestigious and expensive Kassel Academy, attended by the elite and which has indescribable technological advances, however, everything is crossed by a fantastic magical world that is based on a cosmology of dragons.
Lu Mingfei will suffer a terrible disappointment in love from which he will be saved by Nono, a very kind girl who is older than him and who is given the task of recruiting him. Lu Mingfei will rely on a tough Nono to survive in the sophisticated academy. After that, the mysteries of the world begin to reveal themselves and show us who our protagonist really is.
The type of animation we can expect is definitely fabulous, although the story leaves very little to say.
What type of anime is Dragon Raja?
Dragon Raja It can be considered a fantasy and adventure story, but also a reverse isekai, because we start from a colloquial world, in which another reality is slowly inserted; It is as if the projection of the isekai went further, as if there was no need to materialize another reality in an RPG, now the RPG is coming towards us, it is a kind of transmutation of the genre in its most basic form, good for the isekai , No?
Besides, the stories of the academies are mixed (Classroom of the Elite) which tend to be quite ostentatious, but without much more to comment, the hierarchies and merits are present and a nobody protagonist will fight to overcome that world.
Dragon Raja It also strives to mix traditional with sci-fi. And well, it’s part of the stories, but the combination is a bit strange. The title has a hint of a supposed romance, also action and mystery, but above all a lot of absurd comedy and a character that has the potential to be nuanced in depth.
Dragon Raja It has everything a little.
Is Dragon Raja good?
Dragon Raja It is a title that you must see if you like a certain style of animationHowever, it is a story that bets a lot in that area, but the other aspects could become quite repetitive.
Yes ok combines the traditional with the technological —and that is probably the most real thing that society could currently experience—, the story diminishes it a little, perhaps due to the mixture of thematic knots and the flat shape that the protagonist has at the beginning.
It is far from being a must-have title of the season, but if you want to spend time watching dragons and fights, it will surely be good for you.
Something very important to mention about the title, but not the story itself, is that animation and stories from other places in the East increasingly have a greater presence in the West, Part of it is the adaptations of manhwas, which are a kind of manga but from South Korea and now the donghua from China.
It is an interesting and very important phenomenon at this time, since the massive expansion of anime that implied a boom that put the industry in trouble could have found new ways to supply demand without generating so much chaos with its collaborators — from mangakas to the animators.
However, of course the animations are quite different from each other, do you think that at some point you will become team donghua? Do you think there is a need to be a team? Tell me in the comments!
We recommend: The return of Mushoku Tensei, does it confirm the decline of the isekai?
