What is it about? The boy Shu lives with his friends Kluke and Jiro in a peaceful village. However, it is often attacked, which is why the friends want to defend it at all costs. A meeting with the warrior Zola comes in handy, as she grants them a special ability.
Shu and his friends can transform their own shadows into powerful creatures. Shu’s shadow transforms into the titular blue dragon. The group bands together to stop the tyrant Nene, who wants to conquer the world with his own shadow army.
Who is the anime for? The series is a classic shonen anime and thus suitable for anyone who enjoys fantasy stories with action-packed fights. The creatures will likely appeal to fans of Pokémon or Monster Rancher, who primarily watched the animes for the monsters. If you are not familiar with Monster Rancher: A forgotten RTL2 anime beats Digimon by a long shot
