First off, we’ve got Dragon Drive. It resembles Pokemon to some extent since the dragons in this anime are like fellows or partners of their masters. Therefore, they have to face and challenge each other! The players exist in a virtual city where they have to win battles using their partner dragons.
The fun and the sad fact is that our MC is a very lazy human being whose dragon partner is the same as him. The name of his dragon is Chibi. Now, this trait of his resulted in a huge disadvantage. Will he give up or will he train himself along with his dragon partner? And since the dragon theme in this anime is quite high, why don’t you start watching it right now?
