About Dinosaur King

Meet Dinosaur King (古代王者 恐竜キング Ｄキッズアドベンチャー), an adventure anime by Sunrise (2007). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Taylor was on a paleontology mission with his son, Max in Africa. Rex, Max's best friend, joins along as well.

Soon after, when Max had stumbled across some magic stone slabs with images of dinosaurs, the boys and their companion Zoe were being called out by the dinosaurs for help. It seems that an evil organization called the "Alpha Gang", led by the nefarious Dr. Z, traveled back in time to hunt down the dinosaurs so that they could take over the realm by using those dinosaurs.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Rex Owen (Matsuri Mizuguchi) and Ryuuta Kodai (Megumi Matsumoto) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 49 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Sunrise, so the studio's house style defines how Dinosaur King looks and moves on screen. Within the adventure category, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Its 6.3/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Matsuri Mizuguchi as Rex Owen, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2007, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
