***The Divine Voice cannot provide explanations of that nature at level one.***

*What is this? Some sort of Eggsekai?* Well apparently not. Imagine if it was just a full anime of egg.

RedHotChiliCrab2026-01-10 18:17

It could be an eggcellent eggventure

CommanderZx22026-01-10 18:30

It's amusing how the first line for the description of a baby dragon is how good it tastes to eat. Makes you wonder if the divine voice is just entries from an adventurers guild monster guide.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-10 14:22

I’ve seen MCs reincarnated as pigs, goblins, slimes, and skellys. This might be my first one where the MC’s a dragon.

Worms and dragons beware! This little dude is roasting critters left and right lol. Guy tried to make human friends and they damn near kill him and now the only human that was nice to him seems to be in deep shit because of a giant rock dragon. Little bro can’t catch a break! Keen to see how he gets outta this situation.

Anxious_Wolverine3232026-01-10 14:25

I would add to the list: sword, spider, vending machines, old guys to lolis, but, yeah, no dragons.

RGBkano2026-01-10 14:35

Don't forget to mention the onsen and microphone isekai

EldritchCarver2026-01-10 18:14

And the grown man obsessed with magical girls who then dies and gets reincarnated in a medieval fantasy world as a magic wand, and manipulates a desperate peasant girl into becoming a magical girl, granting her incredible power as long as she puts up with the extremely embarrassing outfit and magical girl behavior that the wand insists upon.

Andreiyutzzzz2026-01-10 14:40

I saw a dragon reincarnated as human tho. Still kept dragon powers and form through transformation

Able-Ad35062026-01-10 16:56

Why was it even created? Authors should stop hate dragons, seriously

Ill_Mud75842026-01-10 17:45

Honestly, you have a really weird and irrational perspective of what qualifies as hate.

Able-Ad35062026-01-10 17:57

Well he could have just gotten a human form skill, like usually.

Akunemanne2026-01-10 15:10

The spider anime had a reincarnation as a dragon.

Tacitus_2026-01-10 15:49

And heavily implied that it was in the egg that Kumoko tried to eat.

Dialgak772026-01-10 15:47

Spider is the most similar to this one so far.

saumanahaii2026-01-10 14:28

I'm excited to see where this goes once I things get rolling.

RedHotChiliCrab2026-01-10 18:22

I doubt there's gonna be more rolling now that he's out of the egg.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-10 22:55

LeonKevlar2026-01-10 14:31

Ngl, the reason I decided to watch this is [because the MC looks like a knockoff Digimon.](https://i.imgur.com/PGqKy4R.png) xD

I am surprised that he evolved so quickly. Reading the synopsis on MAL, I thought he was going to be an egg for a bit before he evolves into a baby dragon.

Definitely gonna give this one a shot. Isekais where the MC isn't just reborn as themselves but as a different creature are usually fun.

HuTaosTwinTails2026-01-10 15:25

Literally all I could think was "isn't he a digimon?" Lol

Hugokarenque2026-01-10 15:31

He looks like a generic unit you use to level your characters in a gacha game lol

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-10 22:54

RGBkano2026-01-10 14:33

***Is there anything left for isekai MCs to get reincarnated as!!?***

Imagine getting the title of "Klutz" even before coming out of the egg.

Kinda stupid of this guy to jump straight in front of the adventurers hoping to charm them with his cuteness. But it's interesting how they saw it as some kind of evil being. I wonder if it's just a visual effect or if the humans see every monster with the scary filter on, even if they might be harmless.

melcarba2026-01-10 15:06

I haven't seen any isekai MCs being reincarnated as underwear or condom yet.

Z000Burst2026-01-10 15:47

i think i seen one of those

the underpant one i mean

even a vibrator one

CuriousBroccolli2026-01-10 16:10

Japan be like 🍳👨‍🍳

JoelMahon2026-01-10 16:09

well, one got reincarnated as a vending machine, and can transform into pretty much anything vaguely possible to consider a vending machine (including a helium machine with balloons). so he can definitely make/sell both of those even if he can't turn into them.

psyclical2026-01-10 17:14

I've Been Reincarnated as the Bathroom Scale of a Fat Princess

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-10 18:20

At least he transformed in a condom selling machine once. (That's when I stoped watching)

JoelMahon2026-01-10 19:32

fr? I've watch it all and completely forgot that, can't even remember it now you've told me lol.

DrScorcher2026-01-10 17:39

I'm pretty sure I've seen a webnovel title where the MC became a pair of panties.

Atharaphelun2026-01-10 18:17

Or a fleshlight.

Embarrassed-Match-782026-01-11 02:29

The latter would be a very short life. Anyways FG did a cutaway gag of just that.

dinliner082026-01-10 15:10

>***is there anything left for isekai MCs to get reincarnated as!!?***

i'm surprised that it actually took them this long to make an isekai anime where MC reincarnated as a dragon, unless there's already one exists and i just missed it

Veritas33332026-01-10 15:37

I think this light novel was one of the first, but there's a lot more since

delta_angelfire2026-01-10 15:49

I feel like there was one where the MC reincarnated as an "evil dragon god" but he was just chilling in the forest and became best friends with the cute little bouncy slimes and got mad when people treated them badly.

Though I also feel like there are plenty of fantasy anime where the MC (reincarnated or not) are half dragon or dragon descended.

Wargod0422026-01-10 17:52

They really like associating the mc with dragons but it's mostly just informed extra power for them.

This story at least never betrays the concept at all; he is a dragon start to finish for like 99.9% of the time.

That story sounds like something I'd enjoy, so I searched for it. It's [Jaryuu Tensei](https://myanimelist.net/manga/100923/Jaryuu_Tensei) in case anybody else wants to know.

I had to remake this comment to replace the accidental pirate site link.

PianoCube932026-01-10 16:04

The Light Novel started in 2015, same year as Spider Isekai, so it's kinda old at this point. Just took a while for an anime adaptation to happen.

Pollia2026-01-10 15:25

More likely it's like Kumoko where she thinks of herself as an adorable spider and the audience sees her as that, but in universe she's just a normal spider monster which are kinda terrifying.

Toloran2026-01-10 15:46

> Is there anything left for isekai MCs to get reincarnated as!!?

I've seen one for a Rock, a Vibrator, and a Hot Spring. So probably not.

thestigREVENGE2026-01-10 15:51

I've read multiple webnovels about being reincarnated as a tree, so theres that.

One of them is actually really good, surprisingly.

Toloran2026-01-10 15:57

I read a manhua of that premise. It wasn't bad initially and then it devolved into repeated cycles of "My forest friend got attacked, let's take revenge on everyone involved!"

There's also a "Reincarnated as an Alarune" one that is ... not bad. Not amazing but it's also not an isekai, which is unusual.

thestigREVENGE2026-01-10 16:24

Sounds like a Chinese webnovel. Alot of those I've read literally has the same plotline, repeated only on a bigger scale after each arc. Like you level up to 100 in school, only for lv100 in school = lv1 on Earth. Lv100 on earth = lv1 in the multiverse rinse and repeat.

Anyways, the novel I was referring to is Tree of Aeons. The story started in 2019, been following it for nearly 7 years now. The world building is some of the most detailed I have ever seen.

creamyhorror2026-01-10 17:28

Reincarnated as a Chicken Egg.

Reincarnated as Isekai Transport Truck-kun.

TexturelessIdea2026-01-10 23:17

> Reincarnated as a Chicken Egg.

Has there even been one where MC was reincarnated as a chicken? I feel that one should come first.

Krazee92026-01-11 00:50

There's a manga where MC (formerly male) reincarnated as an ostrich (female).

ImperialWrath2026-01-11 01:47

So far, I think that one's been better than it has any right to be.

Krazee92026-01-11 02:50

S/he's basically just a bird daycare worker with a lot of very threatening toddlers. I've been enjoying it.

Earlier-Today2026-01-10 17:49

I think the Klutz skill is double edged - he's more prone to doing things that are clumsy or foolish (eating the mushrooms), but he also kept getting new skills whenever Klutz was activated.

It gave him fall resistance, then his fall resistance leveled up, then he got poison resistance.

So, he's a klutz, but with an extremely useful side effect.

RedHotChiliCrab2026-01-10 18:12

I don't think I've ever seen an Isekai where the protagonist reincarnated as an elf despite how common they are in the Isekai genre.

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-10 18:25

But when was the last elf born in an anime? I can't remember. They mostly are eternal.

RedHotChiliCrab2026-01-10 18:29

They must give birth because we've seen plenty of elf children in Isekai (usually chained up in a slaver's cage)

bensor742026-01-10 18:59

I'm reading a manga about it. "I was Reborn and Became a High Elf, but I Got Tired of My Slow Life after 120 Years". I hope it'll get an anime

Embarrassed-Match-782026-01-11 02:31

Spider had one of the characters, the teacher I think, reincarnate as an elf.

Shmappii2026-01-10 15:02

This MC is a bit too blank slate compared to others that woke up as monsters, so I'm hoping his early experience with humans gets the identity ball rolling. RPG windows and level up announcements aren't exactly the most exciting thing to watch repeatedly when the person receiving them isn't interesting.

Fayza-snani2026-01-11 14:28

Well cause he said he got barely any memories from his human time, so it's only obvious to be blent, he is well written actually.

dinliner082026-01-10 15:14

it's kinda neat that they show the human's speaking language as gibberish from the perspective of a dragon

PianoCube932026-01-10 17:06

without boring human crap wasting several episodes (hopefully)

NationalStrategy2026-01-10 15:24

I say that this was a pretty solid start to the series, seems like an enjoyable isekai

Interesting-Text-8382026-01-10 15:27

The damage that Tensei Slime and Solo Leveling did to the anime/manga industry cannot be overstated

tripleaamin2026-01-10 16:22

I mean, the thing with isekai isn't just Slime

* Familiar of Zero
* Mushoku Tensei
* Overlord.
* Re: Zero

Though most isekai these days are a combination of Slime & MT. In the worst ways.

Also idk why you are bringing up Solo Leveling here. It didn't influence these types of traditional isekai stories like the ones I mentioned above.

Interesting-Text-8382026-01-10 17:01

Never said that solo leveling influenced this one in specific, but that these 2 are responsible for a big chunk of all the trash we're seeing today, slime being the big villain for manga, and solo leveling for manhwa

There are literally hundreds of generic copies of slime, and hundreds of copy paste solo leveling manhwas out there. If you add MT and "banished from the hero party" to this equation, you'll cover at least 90% of the garbage

Wargod0422026-01-10 17:06

This story predates a lot of the Isekai tropes. It is not a power fantasy at all; the monsters and fights are all surprisingly well balanced. It's also kind of dark and violent at times, though it presents itself lightly.

tripleaamin2026-01-10 17:16

I want to clarify I was more so reply to what the OP said. I actually liked the first episode and I am happy with what you stated about it.

Soggy_Association4912026-01-10 19:43

What year did you start watching anime?

Interesting-Text-8382026-01-10 20:17

2008

RealValf2026-01-10 15:34

Idk about anyone else but the subtitles were completely fucked for me there in the middle but got back on track towards the end.

That aside I’ll prob keep up with this one. I don’t expect much but it seems entertaining enough to keep watching.

Dr_Kitten2026-01-10 19:47

I didn't notice, but I'm pretty sure they were correct in the OP when they said "no more painess"

MinnWild92026-01-10 15:51

I’m going to give this one a few episodes, but the MC needs to start making much better decisions.

It was unbelievably stupid to immediately attempt to make friends with humans, especially when he recognized that the Voice of God’s commentary on his evolution choice focused more on how tasty and tender his flesh was to humans and other predators. And then when he survives that mistake by sheer dumb luck, he throws himself back into danger against an enemy that, again, he recognizes he cannot beat alone and hopes the two already injured fighters and the cleric that has no MP left can work together to win.

Like, there’s the prototypical “Dumb MC” and then there’s this guy.

Independent_Row_13522026-01-10 18:12

That's how he got the Klutz title

Wargod0422026-01-10 18:19

You have to keep in mind he is extremely lonely. Almost every stupid choice he makes is driven by a desire to be with other people.

And if he wasn't the kind of guy to convince himself Myria might live if he follows to help he wouldn't be heroic at all.

DugACCat2026-01-10 16:29

Hey look at that! Hidive on Prime has a “recently added tv and movies” section that is actually working so far this season and putting new shows up at the top to be found easily! This may have existed before but I don’t recall it working in the past, when I had to search for new shows by name. Now if only the new stuff was as prominently highlighted on the tv app version of Crunchy. But I’ll take it as progress over here.

Now let’s see what this reincarnated as a dragon show is like… wow ok video game status screen right off the bat. I guess at least there’s a skill to represent the easy mode of a voice explaining everything to him. Wasn’t expecting them to spend so much time with him as an egg but still pretty fun.

kalirion2026-01-11 03:41

> Note if only the new stuff was as prominently highlighted on the tv app version of Crunchy.

Or the browser version of Crunchy for that matter. So many newly posted shows languishing way too low in their "new" section, in "This Past Week" or even "Earlier", rather than "Last 24 hours" where they should be.

tripleaamin2026-01-10 16:33

I was going to cancel my HiDive account, but they let me cut the subscription in half for the next 2 months, so I decided to make use of it to watch this. Honestly, this seems like fun. I like the skill being "Klutz" as it adds some charm.

This has the feel of a series, like with Skeleton Knight Isekai. Enjoyed the first episode.

bmacabeus2026-01-10 18:56

There are many more fun title skills besides "Klutz", as you'll see later. I hope you'll enjoy this story!

djthomp2026-01-10 16:40

I was briefly annoyed they so blatantly spoiled he'd be evolving further in the OP but then they also spelled it out pretty clearly in the episode too so it's just as well.

Dragon as dps and probably tank with a healer as his partner could be a pretty solid party, rather looks like that's what where it's going based on the ED. Though it also seems like they'll be picking up some lizard looking thing too.

I wonder if they'll have the MC speaking as well eventually or just understanding the language once he gets that skill up.

MV for the full OP: https://youtu.be/1wExzGRiu_A

Wargod0422026-01-10 18:24

They had to show his next form, he spends extremely little time as a baby dragon in the story. Like if i had to guess he evolves by episode 2. It was bonkers they even had enough promotional material leading up to this hiding his juvenile form.

PianoCube932026-01-10 16:42

[Poor baby needs a hug](https://i.imgur.com/m1zqhhC.png)

Can't say I expected to see the cute little baby dragon get sliced open like that. At least they're not holding back on displaying the violence that is happening.

Looked a bit silly that he was spinning when he was "rolling".

All in all I think this is looking promising so far. Haven't watched any isekai since *Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka* a few years ago, so it's about time.

chaydanlik2026-01-10 16:44

I think the animation quality is better than expected for this type of isekai.

Also, the baby dragon looks really cute.

I was afraid the animation quality would be bad since it's a small studio focused on 3D.

But I think it was pretty good, even though it's (likely) a low-budget anime.

Those wolves looked fucked but the earth dragon looked good. Surprised at the wildly different cgi quality.

SYZekrom2026-01-10 17:34

He does look kinda tasty.

Producers are like we must sell anime using cute girl, it doesn't matter how much she actually appears.

no one know this novel release earlier than spider ?

Blayne_L2026-01-10 21:07

Idk if anyone has the same issues I am but HiDive through PrimeVideo is having issues with the subtitles making the first episode unwatchable 🫤

Cupcake_0f_Doom2026-01-10 21:33

Yeah, I think I'm seeing the same thing. It works fine for the first few minutes but then it gets completely out of sync

shatteredauthor2026-01-10 22:43

this is yet another example of the need to more clearly illustrate the passage of time in a litrpg isekai. In universe I wouldn't be surprised if several weeks passed from evolving into the baby dragon and meeting the humans but from the audience perspective I don't think it was even ten minutes from when he specifically chose NOT to be a baby dragon because of the description highlighting that baby dragons are almost always hunted to extinction when left unprotected by their parents because of how vulnerable and delicious they are, he changes his mind and then immediately runs and offers himself up to some humans!

At least if we knew the passage of time it's easier to think that he just forgot about the message or wasn't taking it seriously since he didn't appear to have any trouble at all defending himself.

Sidenote: there were a lot of lone wolves in this forest, aren't wolfs kinda famously the animal that operates in packs?

StrangeAppeal22026-01-11 17:26

The pack could've been attacked by the rock dragon, hence the first wolf we see is injured and running away.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-10 23:02

He found his partner who will help him Digivolve further

Obaruler2026-01-11 00:18

Odd OST choice to pick such "game-y" sound bites ... yes, it's a RPG-game-mechanic-like Isekai kinda like "I'm a Spider, so what?", but I'd still have preferred it to be a little less "derpy" ...

The sauce material is good though, and I'm pleasently surprised the adaptation looks somewhat decent.

minnieboss2026-01-11 00:51

You could just have him be a regular guy and almost nothing about the episode would change, that's how trivial the central gimmick is. And everything else is identical to every other isekai. Boring...

IceSmiley2026-01-11 01:55

Oddball isekai show. I wondered how long he'd have to be in that egg, like imagine if he had to spend the whole season or show in it like the talking egg from Garfield! He seemed to level up quickly but that adventurer nearly killed him in short order and he was dumb for not hiding from them when the god said they are valued for their delicious meat.

That was pretty startling when that guy just cut his stomach open. It does seem like hes going to save those 2 men anyway. It stopped really abruptly but I wonder if he can talk to other dragons or if other ones can even talk or are as smart as people. That'd be funny if the dragons in this world spoke Japanese and the humans spoke Greek 😀

They also didn't give him an origin story at all, like why he/she died or any details about their past life. I wonder if he will ever find out anything about his life; he seems to be from an Earth somewhat like ours since he knows what RPG and video games are.

Nightwish19762026-01-11 02:39

It seems quite similar to "So I'm a spider, so what".

nhansieu12026-01-11 05:31

hopefully author is gonna release WN again after anime finished

How did this even get popular enough to get an anime in the first place? The MC just happens to conveniently ignore, forget and notice things for the story.

Like he conveniently just happened to ignore the "Son of the dragon King" part because well? They'll probably try to turn it into a big plot in the future EPs, just don't mention it in 1st EP then.

He just conveniently happened to forget the "baby dragons are hunted as a tasty delicacy" when he went to approach the humans.

The divine hands thingy that held him, telling him that she has high hopes for him? (Prolly some goddess or world's voice special to him) It was put in so abruptly, it didn't even feel like a shock value of "ohh! What is this?! I'm curious now" as a watcher, it was just... Abrupt and put in out of place and vanished just as quickly.

I enjoy slops but even in the slops, this is a low mid tier slop.

DrZoark2026-01-12 13:34

Not a bad start. That's my type of thing to watch, haha.
