Based on a mobile video game that was an Angry Birds-type sensation in Asia, Puzzle & Dragons X has a strong Pokemon vibe (which is not necessarily a compliment), centering on a lad named Ace, who lives in a world where humans dubbed Dragon Callers must tame monster dragons to help them battle evil. After some dire dragon incidents awaken Ace's latent ancestral powers as a Dragon Caller, he enrolls in an academy for training, where he faces a series of tests to become a full-fledged member of the Dragon Caller Guild. Fights, challenges, quests, and duels ensue, with little to offend, but also not a whole lot to truly engage anime fans. Presenting the first 13 episodes from this 2016 series in a dual-language Blu-ray/DVD Combo edition, rated TV-PG, this mildly entertaining title is a strong optional purchase. (C. Cassady)
