Yes to all. vvvvvv
It's kind of sad how the 24-episode anime couldn't even compare to this 6 chapter manga. The anime is a cheese-fest of corny dialogue and over-used character cliches clashing with each other. It had no direction whatsoever and every plot twist was executed poorly. Literally, I could see every betrayal and character switch a mile away from Kazuki's mood swings to Toa's stereotypical confessions. Plus this series was supposed to be a story about how the alien lifeforms known as "Dragons" are used and grown by humans, yet 3 episodes into the series, it turns into romance drama with cliche' reasoning as to why the two main characters (one of them being a dragon taking them form of a pink-haired, well-endowed teenage girl?!) can't be together. It took every ounce of will power I had to watch the last episode...it seems that in the end, even the fansubbers had a hard time getting through the series. P On the other hand. The manga is non-stop action, perfect execution of plot twist, and better character development (which was very little considering the anime had absolutely NONE) . In short, the Dragonaut manga is awesome. The anime series, on the other hand, blows chunks.
The anime, in nearly all aspects, technical and otherwise, would be considered by most to be "mediocre" to put it nicely, but I still like it, for reasons I'm still not quite sure of.
I guess somewhere between the dragon-blasting action and over-the-top boobies there was an indiscernible charm to its simplicity.
