A 5000-year-old herbivorous dragon was living peacefully when one day a young girl showed up in his cave. She offered herself as a sacrifice in order to gain favor for her village. He played along as the great "Evil Dragon, the Demon Lord's Army Leader" in order to get rid of her. However, his little white lie awoke her hidden powers and his peaceful life suddenly ended.

Herbivorous dragon is a light-hearted, cute, and feel-good show about a wimpy, kind-hearted dragon and an overpowered cute little girl who follows him. The show does a good job of giving an enjoyable experience with a consistent tone that is silly and endearing and cute. What it lacks is depth. It's a show that you can watch and be happy and then move on; you are not going to stop and go, whoa, what did I just watch? The dragon is kind of like King, from One Punch Man, because people think he's powerful when he's a wimp. And Lingzi (Reiko) is kind of like Saitama,but subject to the mind warping field and also believes the dragon is powerful (and evil). So, you might imagine some of the antics that follow. It's not something you can take seriously, because real people have reasons for their beliefs, but if you let it go, it's pretty funny. I said "antics" because nothing in the plot feels central to the plot. It's sort of slice-of-life-ish in that regard.
The animation is simple. Don't expect any breathtaking sakuga. It looks low cost, with limited movement. The characters look nice enough though. Somehow, they make it work, without looking bad.
I have no qualms with the voice acting. Dragon has a soothing avuncular voice, and Lingzi has a cute but dauntless voice which fit their characters.
The ED is a total banger. It's no exaggeration to say that it possibly kept me watching the show. I often skip EDs after hearing them a few times, but not this one. I rewind and watch/listen to it several times per episode. The OP is also good. Note that the art style is much simpler but more animated in the OP and ED than the show.
It's short, so if you consider that it's less than three hours, I'd say it's worth the watch.

Nothing deep and meaningful here. It's just a light-hearted show about how others expectations are hard to overcome. People see what they want to see and sometimes that can lead to insane hijinks. A herbivore dragon somehow had a myth form around him of being some ancient powerful general of the demon king. (He gets beaten up by rabbits.) In order to placate a girl who keeps insisting on being sacrificed to him, he spins a story and gets basically trapped with a new follower/disciple, who has ABSOLUTE faith that he is the ancient evil dragon, and that her subsequent over-powerdnesscomes from him. Hilarity ensues.
There's no hidden meanings, no deep and buried sub-plots, just situational comedy, straight man remarks (from the dragon) and constant misinterpretation of actions.
If you're looking for deep and dark this isn't for you, but if you're looking for a series of 10-12 minute fun time-killers than this is perfect. It's not trying to be anything it's not, and just does a good job being exactly what it is.
Good for all ages.

This should be short. I love Soushoku Dragon the comic. It's a nice, fun gag story with a simple premise about an innocent dragon who got wrongfully worshipped by a girl for being the evil dragon. The art was decent and the pacing was just enough to keep the humour and the interest going. The same cannot be said about the animated series. This production is not at all bad. The animation style, colouring and drawings are all fine. They look fine. However, for a gag series, I didn't laugh. I might come off as harsh, but its direction felt quite antiquated. It reminded me ofold Chinese gag cartoon like the sheeps or goats and the wolves family thing. It's not that the gags don't work. They worked before in comic form for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the dragon's suffering and the ridiculous situations he got in into. To me, it seems that the director came from another culture and wasn't completely bought into the gags, so he tried to reframed in a way that's familiar to him. The pacing of the jokes, the way they add cartoony reactions to the dragon and the characters are distinctively from their culture sphere. I wasn't a big fan of such humour, and seeing a simple, endearing story being skinned and then having a different skin puts on top is disappointing.
I can't be bothered to talk about sound, music or what not. The way the gags are delivered just fall so flat, I was trying to pay attention to the animations to distract myself from having to understand what's taking place.
The best I could say about the series, is that I finished it. I probably wouldn't have, if I had not read the comic.
I heard it got adapted by Chinese studio because the series was so beloved in China. Why not supporting local artists? I think the ones that needed the most support from their own people are the Chinese artists. Despite having huge creative industry, their best cultural exports are still imitations of foreign culture creation. I'm pretty sure people were enamoured with Hong Kong action films of the 80s and 90s. Those can only exist and be exported because of local supports for local art.

Plot: A several thousand year old Herbivorous Dragon is woken up one day when a local village has sent a girl to be his sacrifice, believing him to be an evil dark dragon. No matter how many times the dragon tries to convince people or tell his side of the story, and explain that he is just a wimpy herbivore, no one believes him due to his stature and the assumptions that have based around dragons. This is just a light-hearted and comedic anime. You will not be blown away by anything, but for what it's worth, it is funny. Lingzi, the little girl whowas supposed to be the sacrifice, is kind of an absolute idiot, but has immense magical power and everyone just assumes that it is the dragons magic after he 'made her his disciple' and 'ate her soul'.
I just couldn't really connect with this series cause it felt kind of boring beyond the fact of the comedic humor. I know it is the point of the series, but just seeing everyone consecutively being an idiot kind of pushes me off of the show entirely. The wimpy dragon was funny to watch get into these absurdly dumb situations when he is verbally telling people what he really is and no one listens long enough to actually receive the words that he is saying. The action, while it was interesting, it wasn't anything to really grasp me or make me feel like I NEEDED to watch more.
There are plenty of Chinese anime series' that I enjoyed, but this one just didn't really do anything for me other than provide background noise while I was doing something else. For being only 13 minutes an episode, I can't totally convince you that it's not worth watching, as for being less than 3 hours long, there are some pretty funny moments. I would just not recommend going into this with high expectations or some miraculous journey/story/lesson to learn.

Herbivore Dragon is a series that follows Herbivore Dragon and Reiko/Lingzi, a child who gives herself up as tribute to the seemingly powerful and evil dragon. Unbeknownst to Lingzi, Herbivore Dragon is actually a vegan dragon who doesn't prey on animals or people and chooses to deceive Lingzi in order for her to continue with her life. Lingzi decides to follow this dragon wherever it goes claiming to be a disciple; What sort of adventures lie in wait for the Dragon-human girl duo? Story & Characters:7/10 Don't judge a book by its cover personified is what I thought fit well with Herbivore Dragon series; It's a serieswhere you have to expect the unexpected in terms of characters and storyline because it will definitely throw you off with unpredictable events and character moments. For a series this short, Herbivore Dragon does well to create a shock-worthy episode full of action and absurd one-liner comedy. The story isn't too complex but exists in harmony with the characters not favoring one over the other; As such, we are left with a freestyle-esque story where the Dragon and Lingzi go on adventures in the outside world together while trying to adapt to their new lifestyle together. The characters apart from the duo are fairly developed but not beyond the greatest and detailed depths due to the lack of length; Characters such as Aliante and the Water saint had their roles to play in the series but felt like throw-away characters used only for their comedic appeal. It works well with Hebivore Dragon series because Reiko/Lingzi's character builds up and grows as a character after interacting with both the saint and red hair knight Aliante. It has a lot of potential in terms of its character development and plot establishment, if it were to get a longer series it definitely would be good to see more in depth characters and lore into Reiko/Lingzi's parents.
Art & Sound: 6/10
The art is really good for a series of this style. The overexaggerated character expressions and sometimes the change of art style work well with expressing how dumb and playful each moment in the series can be. The animation is also not too bad in terms of quality, it helps with the viewing experience.
The sound didn't stray too much outside of the ordinary. It did well with voice acting and sound effects, music could be improved within fight scenes especially the final fight. Overall in terms of sound design it did okay.
Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10
Herbivore Dragon is a series that I really enjoyed with characters that were likeable and comedic but also at the same time contributed a lot with the progression of the story and development of Reiko/Lingzi as a character. The story was light hearted despite the presence of Xu, a demonic practitioner; It definitely was worthy of watching but wished the story had a defined goal and it stuck to complete that goal by the end which didn't happen in this season sadly. Still worth the watch from me.
mooyi
I really enjoyed this story about a herbivorous dragon misunderstood as some great evil dragon. My favorite part of the whole show was the relationship between the two main characters, which I found surprisingly deep and touching given the nature of the show (a cute comedy). The dragon is a funny character - mistaken for strong but actually weak, the opposite of some characters from other shows that have the opposite dynamic. Kind of reminded me of Angel Densetsu. I really grew to like Ling Zi over time, even though in the beginning she was a bit over the top. The episodes are pretty short, butI thoroughly enjoyed them and am watching the second season now!
I thought the art style was pretty nice. Not the best or worst animation I've seen.
