From Akira Toriyama : Blue Dragon

Ok, before I start just a little request, kindly click on the Google Ads above before you keep on reading. Since Gundam 00 have it's break for this week to make way for New Year's special program, I've decided to make this post to wish you all Happy New Year!!! HaHa joke aside, a you know my weekend been very dull without the Gundam show I'm anticipating so I've decided to go for an anime hunt and I managed to come across this anime. I've known of Blue Dragon for a long time but didn't really give a damn about since I was occupied with other shows, but now since Gundam decided to give me the week off I go back to watch it.

So guess what, it feels great, well it is not like it tells great philosophy like Gundam but I believe to older teens and young adults which is like me, this anime is new, but brings back old memories, yes sweet one. This is due to the fact that the anime feature character design(I wonder if also the setting designs) by the great author of the infamous Dragon Ball series Akira Toriyama, almost every single characters in Blue Dragon reminds us of somebody in our beloved Dragon Ball, and yes, I was never as touched as this in quite a few years.

Thr main protagonist, Shu, resembles Goku a lot(hair especially), and Kluke is like Bulma with orange hair, Jiro is so Trunks, and the main antagonist Nene is very Picollo, yes you heard me, and along with the fantasy world setting, it really does reminds us of Dragon Ball, so for young adults, if you've been missing Dragon Ball too much (it's been ten years since the ending), you can have a shot at this, for new comers, take this chances and see how once a great franchises is like. Now just to say that I'm not bulffing, here is how everybody looks like.
