Dragonaut: The Resonance
Imagine categorizing every series you've watched into ranks of artistic merit. Then series like Dragonaut would be near the top. And if it were only in HD, then I wouldn't even begin to comprehend the majesty of it. That's not to say Dragonaut doesn't have a strong plot, which it does, and nice enough intriguing characters as well. However, even as you see it though, Dragonaut doesn't allow its characters to exhibit emotions nearly as a to an extent as emotion driven as series like Black Lagoon. This is to say it recalls eerily of the style in Fate/Stay Night and Heroic Age.
Imagine a scenario where twenty years prior to the beginning, an asteroid headed for Earth destroys Pluto. Due to Pluto's destruction, the asteroid, which is dubbed Thanatos, becomes temporarily stagnant in Pluto's orbit. Now, in order to avoid Earth's impending destruction, the International Solarsystem Development Agency (ISDA) works on a "D-Project", and secretly creates weapons called "Dragons" after finding a dragon egg under the ocean. However, they soon find out that the asteroid is not their only threat, as powerful, destructive dragons from Thanatos appear on Earth.
The story revolves around Jin Kamishina, a lonely 18-year-old boy who lost his family in a shuttle accident two years ago, gets involved with the ISDA and their efforts to battle the dragons from Thanatos. Helping him is Toa, a mysterious girl who saves him from falling to his death after the creature attacks him. As they delve deeper into the mysteries of the dragons, they encounter new friends and enemies, and also develop a closer relationship.
Artistically beautiful, even in gritty youtube and veoh streaming, the director employs both 2D and 3D animation to mark an even deeper tone to "resonate" in the viewer. (No pun intended!) With beautiful animation and good plotline along with its gritty and aloof tone, which however, may not be a good thing, it is something to check out definitely.
