Dragonaut
OK, I know I'm getting repetitive here, but a series called Dragonaut was reccomended to me. Did not get a summary of it or anything, just was told that I would like it. Can someone please give a summary of this series, as well as possible warnings for it, and your own recommendations?

- Abraham Kuyper
"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)
"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper
"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul
"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

I am aware of ANN, and I probably should have looked on there for this particular series before posting this, but part of what I'm looking for with these new threads is a Christian viewpoint on the series', which ANN does not provide. They simply give a review of the series, and a synopsis of it's plotline.

Another suggestion. Post your questions in the anime recommendations thread.
Dragonauts: I watched one episode (#5), and found it very... repulsive. Not as a Christian, but as an artist-in-training and an engineer. Even the fansubber doing the work recognized the same issue: at one point (during the break return flash", he put the words "Now, back to Boob-o-nauts".
In other words, structurally impossible women are a primary focus of this series. Occasionally, a story will be good enough that I can overlook this particular Japanese obsession (for example, the Japanese version of Witchblade) but most of the time I do what I did with this one. I delete the episode and never go back.
Obviously, in one episode, I didn't see the arc, but what I saw was a standard-looking plot, similar to many Mecha, but with dragons substituting for the giant robots.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Largo: "Well Ed, good to see ya. Guess I gotta beat the crap out of you now."
Jamie Hyneman: "It's just another lovely day at the bomb range. Birds are singing, rabbits are hopping about, and soon there's going to be a big explosion."

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)
EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

Actually, from what I've read from other forums and sites, episode five is the worst of the entire series. And from what I've seen, there's only one 'structurally impossible' woman, though a few of the others are somewhat unrealistic. The first ep had almost no fanservice in it, and we only see Garnet (the structually impossible woman) for a few seconds.

EricTheFred's suggestion is correct. This thread can be used for most minor purposes:
