This anime makes the Gundam characters and their mechs look like a bunch of pussies — well, except for the whiny Jin and his teen-angst childhood friend. What could be better than piloting a dragon? Nothing.

That said, the intro music is one of my favorite japanese songs, because it has an almost break beat feel to it. The character designs take some getting used to, though.

From www.animenewsnetwork.com:

In order to avoid Earth’s impending destruction from an asteroid, the International Solarsystem Development Agency (ISDA) works on the “D-Project”, and creates dragons after finding a dragon egg under the ocean. However, they soon find out that the asteroid is not their only threat, as powerful dragon-like creatures appear on Earth. After witnessing a murder by one of the creatures, Jin Kamishina gets involved in the mysteries of the dragons and becomes a dragon pilot, otherwise known as a “Dragonaut”. Helping him on his journey is Toa, a mysterious girl who saves him from falling to his death after the creature attacks him. As they delve deeper into the mysteries of the dragons, they encounter new friends and enemies, and also begin to develop a closer relationship.

Two fansub groups sub this anime: Sekai and Infinite Zero (tracker page). You can download from either, but I would recommend watching at least one Sekai due to the fact they also show the japanese lyrics — or you can just watch the intro in this post.
