War rages between two neighboring countries, but one side has an ace up their sleeve: an ancient dragon bound by a pact to protect the nation. Despite these overpowering creatures being capable of leveling entire battlefields, they are rendered useless by cavities. And so, a special unit—the dragon dentists—has the important duty of caring for the dragon's teeth. Nonoko Kishii was the only one of many brave volunteers who survived a recent round of recruitment; in order to join the dragon dentists, one has to witness their future demise and accept it without a fight. Knowing the exact circumstances of their fated ends, the dragon dentists devote themselves to their work. One day, they gain a new member who did not undergo the test: Bernard "Bel" Octavius, a young enemy officer killed by his own men and revived by the dragon's teeth. Despite his appearance being an omen of a great disaster, he is placed under the care of Nonoko as a dentist-in-training. Will Bel come around to the dragon dentists' attitudes toward death and help them face the painful future that is to come? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Not much is to be analyzed. Watching this was an absolute treat. So rarely does one come across an anime that diligently sets itself apart in the aspect of plot-portrayal. No matter the unique depiction of characters, their seemingly-unrelatable demeanour at times, or even the realization that you know almost nothing about the world the characters in the story live in (Hence intermediate scores in the Story and Character rating), you can't help but feel bedazzled by a story with such a unique setting. It's not that Ryuu no Haisha has many twists and turns. It's not that Ryuu no Haisha has the innate ability tochange the way you think about the world. It's not that Ryuu no Haisha has a story that will move you to tears. No. It's much more simple... It simply enraptures you. And I encourage you to watch it.

All right, to sum up your appointment, make sure to use mouthwash. Also, remember to floss everyday. Flossing helps get these big ass monsters out of the gaps in your teeth, which we need to kill. TL;DR at the bottom. Story: With this anime comes a unique path of reincarnation involving the mythical creatures, dragons. It occurs through the teeth of the dragon, hence the anime title. With that, the requirements of a reincarnation is to have died a meaningless death, while having nothing to return to. It is a sort of redemption I think brings this anime a great uniqueness to it. When reincarnated, they are bornthrough the teeth over again as the same age as when they died. If successfully reborn through the teeth, the task of whoever is born through the teeth must fight monsters that are born in the gaps of the teeth. The anime also takes place during war, one that is Humans against Dragons. The reason why was never really talked about, and it really felt like it happened out of nowhere... at first. It came to be the cliche of a hatred towards another race. Despite that, it was enjoyable enough for me to watch both episodes. Honestly, at first, I came to watch this because I goddamn love dragons ever since I was a kid. So if you'd like some dragonic nostalgia, this is something to come to. Animation: The animation is quite comparable to that of Trigger. There are many times I was actually confused on whether it was CGI, or 2D. That is something I think brings this to be a high point of the series. However, there are times when it can get trippy as hell, like the opening of the first episode and some moments in the second episode. With someone like me, I like watching something as if I was inhaling drugs of the sort. However, with the opening, it is nothing different than watching the rainbow found in a puddle just making movement.. I personally thought it was cool hehe. Sound: I think the seiyuus are good for how well they match the character's ego. There is not much else to say about that. The opening sounded nice. Also, do you like dubstep? No? Then, this part will definitely be your cup of tea. For me, it was well matched to the atmospheres at the times certain soundtracks tried to invoke. It did a well job. Characters: This anime is about an individual who was reincarnated after being killed, and the young man's name is Bell. Bell seemed like an emotional teenager whose mood is sullied through forcing it onto himself for some strange means. However, after learning of his past life, it is understandable why he is the way he is, and I only came to root for him after learning such. Along with the main character comes Nonoko, aka the cute girl of the series aka why is she not my wife yet. With her, I feel she serves as a support for the main character after his ass being pulled out of the tooth of a dragon, and having to suffer life all over again (joke). In the end, it is up to them when it comes to saving the day. Outside of those characters besides Godou, Arisugawa and Shibana, the other characters really felt unnecessary to the story. With what I was given on this part, I was at least able to enjoy it a little bit, so I'll give it that. Enjoyment: Again, I came because I love dragons. I was given more than that, which was something I found to be quite enjoyable. I was rooting for the main characters to get through the obstacles, and finding myself into doing so made the experience all the better. TL;DR/Overall: 6.85 This is not something I recommend to anyone who wants a full-fledged story, but wants some eye candy. This is not a spectacular anime. I personally like this, despite the lacking depth the story has. There is not any huge world building which i would like to have known more about, but that IS what you get from an anime with only TWO episodes. It was enough to keep my attention while gasping at the animation, which I think is good enough. It could be something to pull at your heart, and bring an opinion that agrees with me, or it can be something that steals your time, making you want it back. Do I suggest it? Do you have time to kill for some eye candy? Yes? Then it is here. Do you want a full-fledged story explaining everything? No? Then you can pass it up.

Mixed Feelings

Set in a fantasy-like land, there exists dragons and people who clean the teeth of these great flying-beasts, whom are known as dragon dentists. Dragon dentists cleanse the teeth of "bacteria" and prevent cavities in what looks like a dragon port, station, or village. These bacteria and cavities are harmful because it affects the dragon's power of revival. It is said that humans are reborn after death through the teeth of dragons, but they may not always be reborn as humans. One exception to this rule is the "yomigaeri," or bad omen, which is said to be a sign of future destruction. This may symbolizehumanity's sins as a whole. Is this fate, or is it mere coincidence? Does fate even exist, or is it something we tell ourselves in order to stop trying? These themes are ever-present throughout the show. In particular, our dragon dentists are very aware of this concept. They have a sense of understanding on what it means to live and what it means to die. It should be noted that in Buddhism, there is no belief in "God" or "fate." This contrasts against the dragons that live and enable their power of reincarnation. There is a mixture of beliefs or a constant clash in ideology carefully embedded into this show. It makes you think. It makes you wonder. You can be alive, but are you really living? It is said that dragons "cry with their teeth," yet their teeth is their source of power; they live, and they live genuinely. If you were put into this story, would you fight your fate or would you accept it? There would be a sense of irony if you resisted your fate only to find out that it was your destiny to fight fate; you would be playing into the plan right from the start. Our fellow characters are forced to find out if we truly are the authors of our own tale. Ryuu no Haisha, or The Dragon Dentist, is an unconventional surprise that contains Buddhist undertones and challenges what we may believe in ourselves.

Tsurumaki Kazuya is one of my favorite directors, i liked FLCL so much, and then comes Ryuu no Haisha. A story about dragon dentists during a war, and a dragon used as a war machine. My first thought was : Ok, it will be very very weird, but hey, this is original ! For me, Ryuu No Haisha was a great show, very enjoyable. Story : The story is really original, the idea of dragon dentist is very interesting, and mixing this with some "realistic war" is cool. But, for me, a lot of the story is bad, for example, we do not know why people liveon the dragon, how they can ? When the army makes a pact with dragon dentist to use the dragon as a weapon ? Well, all of this is not clear at all. This is bad because the realm in this show has a great potential, but it is not used well... The story is good, but not as good as i was excepted. Art : Khara made a beautiful anime, with great background(with a "painted style"), and the animation is clean, action scenes are smooth and fast, but readable. In this show 3DCGI is used, for example, to animate a army troops. Well, it is recognizable, but not ugly at all, this is the first time i saw a very good CGI so far. Sound The sound design is really cool in there, with some electro soundtrack, it's good, but not memorable. Character : Well, let's be honest, the characters are really simple. Nonoko is this kind of girls who likes to eat and is easily angry, and the second character, and Octavius Bernard is this kind of guy who don't want to participate in war because blablabla... Yeah, there are simple, but it is a problem ? Hell no, Ryuu no Haisha is not about having characters with an enormous background, we talk about two episodes, 46 mins, almost 4 episodes, 4 is what it takes to an anime to create a little background. In RNH, characters are simple, but it is easy to have compassion for them. I don't think the anime would be better with more sophisticated characters, because it would mess up the moral of the story, by creating complicated characters that are, obviously, harder to understand. Ryuu No Haisha does not focus on characters, but on the message of the story itself. Conclusion : Kazuya made a really interesting show, with some fantastic visual art, it is really good looking, moreover, the story is a little messy, but it is really enjoyable, and better than most of the shows this year. Characters are simple but nice. So, good job Kazuya, but not so good, keep up the good work anyway, i don't like to graded an anime, but it will be a 8 for this show, for his originality and his interesting message and visuals.
