About Blue Dragon

The setup: As Shu's village was being attacked by an unknown adversary, he and his friends, Jiro and Kluke decide to defend their home. They soon meet warrior Zola and receive the gifts of Shadow, an ability that let's them transform their shadow into a mighty monster.

More of the story: Shu receives one of the most powerful monsters, Blue Dragon, and they all set out to defeat their foe.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio Pierrot, so the studio's house style defines how Blue Dragon looks and moves on screen. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2007, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
