What is Dragon anime?

Very intelligent mythical beings - a cross between a very large lizard and a dinosaur - that breath fire, and have a knack for kidnapping damsels, thus distressing them. In Fantasy anime this perceptive species often lives secluded from human civilisation, protectors of long lost knowledge. Dragons seem to be on the verge of extinction.

(Dances with the Dragons)

5.65

Description:

The series takes place in an alternate world, staged mostly in the city of Eridana, whose territory is half in the Tseberun Dragon Empire, and half in the Lapetodes Seven Cities Alliance. Each half is separated by the Orielal River. In this world, special abilities called spell formulas (咒式, jushiki) exist, which are essentially chemical reactions augmented through special weapons that cause a magic spell-like effect. These special weapons are called Magic Staff weapons, and are as varied as regular weapons are. Spell formulists use these spell formulas to fight with "Beasts of Abhorrent Form," natural creatures that use spell formulas and pose a threat to humans, such as Dragons, Aions, or Enormes. The story focuses on the two main characters, Gaius Sorel and Gigina Ashley-Bufh, the only two employees of spell formulist dispatch office Ashley-Bufh & Sorel Co. They are met with a variety of requests from a variety of clients, all requiring the adept use of spell formulas. (Source: MAL News)

The Dragon Prince

8.03

Description:

The world of Xadia is rich in magic which is drawn from six Primal Sources, each representing an element of nature: the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Earth, the Sky, and the Ocean. Centuries ago, Xadia was one continent where humans and elves lived together in peace. However, this changed when human mages, who were unable to utilize any of the existing sources naturally, used the essence of magical creatures to empower a newfound seventh source: dark magic. As this power brought destruction, humanity was banished to the west of the continent as punishment for their actions, where they eventually formed the five Human Kingdoms.[1] 1000 years later, King Harrow of Katolis and his advisor, the dark mage Lord Viren, yet again become the enemies of Xadia, as they have slain the King of the Dragons, Avizandum, and supposedly destroyed his only egg, the future Dragon Prince.[2] In retaliation, Xadia sends a group of elven assassins out to assassinate both King Harrow and his son, Prince Ezran. One of these elves, Rayla, decides to act on her own after struggling to carry out her mission. During a chase through the castle, Ezran, his older half-brother Callum, and Rayla discover the unharmed egg of the Dragon Prince and decide to take on the mission of returning the egg to Xadia.
