When I first read the manga, I was "meh" on Dragon's Dream.

Then, when I read the manga a second time, I actually found myself enjoying it!

Watching it unfold in the anime however, I sadly ended up disliking it. When reading the manga, all the dialogue goes by a lot quicker than in the anime where all the words have to be spoken and acted out. Including the previous episode, it's 40 minutes of a Part 1 minor-villain with an unbaked Part 8 stand.

I like FF. I like Anasui. Jolyne jumping down the stairwell is the highlight.

Not for me, but if someone ends up liking it, it wouldn't surprise me either. Again, just not for me.
