About Drifting Dragons

Meet Drifting Dragons (空挺ドラゴンズ), an action, adventure and fantasy anime by POLYGON PICTURES (2020). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: The Quin Zaza airship sails the skies in pursuit of the deadliest (and tastiest) magical monsters in the blue: DRAGONS. While most people fear these scaly beasts, the crew of the Zaza specializes in bringing them down to earth to offer the world the medicine and food only dragons can provide.

Along the way, it’s a tough living, and the price for failure is all too often death, but the rewards for success are riches immeasurable — not to mention the most delicious cuisine around!

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Kana Hanazawa as Vanabelle and Tomoaki Maeno as Mika. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
