This show was my first and probably my only exposure to Rage of Bahamut series. I went in knowing nothing of the original story. Apparently there is something important about the two lead girls Anne and Grea in context of a larger story but what became more important to me while watching this short series is one thing...will Anne and Grea actually go all the way? The romantic fan service throughout the 10 episodes is amazing. Anne every episode somehow gets thirstier and thirstier for Grea. Was the whole point of this show for us to see the blossoming relationship between them? I honestly have no idea and to be fair it the only thing that I got out of it. If the show had shifted to anything else I probably wouldnt of stayed. Am I shallow? Oh yes I am. However even if it did I know that production wise the show would of been stellar either way. The music of this show was amazing all the way through. Its OST is a must listen. Its wonderful and sweeping orchestra pieces just fit the setting so well and is a nice change of pace. Visually the show is stunning. Every shot is perfect from the characters to the backgrounds to even the little details. During the few times magic is actually used and there is action the shots are fluid and not overwhelming to the eyes. There are moments of drama is in the show but everything is always resolved by the end of the episode with no loose ends. The comedy is also really good when its played out and never feels forced. While Anne and Grea our are main princesses we still get to see a good amount of other characters. Ms. Miranda one of the teachers who is just a nutty as Anne Annes body guard who stalks them and the student council President Hanna and her assistant. It was nice to see that the studio took the time to fill out the student body with interesting characters and not 1D cut outs copy and pasted in the background each scene. Each person belongs in a shot and it all seems so natural even if we never see them again. Overall this show surprised me with some fantastic yuribait action and its the best thing ever. The only downside is that there are only 10 episodes of Anne trying to get some dragon tail for herself. Hopefully we get some more sometime to see Anne continue her quest.
