Synopsis

Our hero wakes up one day in a brand new world…but his new life doesn’t come with fighting skills or magic powers, or even arms and legs! He’s reborn as a helpless egg, stuck in an unfamiliar forest surrounded by terrifying, hungry beasts. But eggs hatch, hatchlings grow up, and humble beginnings can lead to something great. He’ll do his best to become the strongest dragon ever, and no measly shell will get in his way!

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
If you liked "So I'm a Spider, So What?" then you will probably like this and should give it a try. This is an anime with the cliche video game skill leveling system, just like the previously mentioned "So I'm a Spider, So What?". Admittedly it isn't as good as the former, but it is good enough in my opinion to look forward to the weekly new episode.

It is entertaining to see a human-turned-dragon trying to keep doing human things, like wanting to talk to other humans or trying to cook food. No more can be said without going into spoiler territory I suppose.

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (9/12 eps)
There are way too few isekai anime where the protagonist transforms to something other than just another humanoid, and even fewer that are watchable. I really want this niche genre within a genre to actually do well, especially since this time it's with a dragon, which is freaking awesome!

Sadly, this show is mid.

Don't get me wrong, the premise is awesome, the pacing of the story is pretty good, the character designs are neat, and despite having 3DCG scenes, it's not nearly as bad as in other anime. However... the protagonist is an utter idiot, and the beginning of almost every episode is 3-5 minutes of ...

Preliminary (12/12 eps)
Every episode after the first begins with 3–5 minutes of recap. That alone eats nearly a quarter of the runtime before anything new appears. The rest is padded beyond reason. What could have been told in three episodes is stretched across twelve through endless repetitive internal monologues, circular dialogue that goes nowhere, and flashbacks that add nothing. Entire episodes contain zero plot progression—this is not an exaggeration. Characters stand around rehashing the same for minutes on end. The protagonist is supposedly a reincarnated adult, yet his decision-making matches that of a preschooler. He freezes at obvious threats, acts surprised when consequences hit, and repeats the ...
