OK, I know I'm getting repetitive here, but a series called Dragonaut was reccomended to me. Did not get a summary of it or anything, just was told that I would like it. Can someone please give a summary of this series, as well as possible warnings for it, and your own recommendations?

i've noticed that you've made multiple threads regarding various anime titles that you have heard of and are interested in checking out. here is a link to a wonderful site that will provide you with a decent among of information regarding (probably) every single of one the animes you've posted questions on. hopefully, this will help you so you won't need to make so many new threads...

I am aware of ANN, and I probably should have looked on there for this particular series before posting this, but part of what I'm looking for with these new threads is a Christian viewpoint on the series', which ANN does not provide. They simply give a review of the series, and a synopsis of it's plotline.

Another suggestion. Post your questions in the anime recommendations thread.
Dragonauts: I watched one episode (#5), and found it very... repulsive. Not as a Christian, but as an artist-in-training and an engineer. Even the fansubber doing the work recognized the same issue: at one point (during the break return flash", he put the words "Now, back to Boob-o-nauts".
In other words, structurally impossible women are a primary focus of this series. Occasionally, a story will be good enough that I can overlook this particular Japanese obsession (for example, the Japanese version of Witchblade) but most of the time I do what I did with this one. I delete the episode and never go back.
Obviously, in one episode, I didn't see the arc, but what I saw was a standard-looking plot, similar to many Mecha, but with dragons substituting for the giant robots.

Actually, from what I've read from other forums and sites, episode five is the worst of the entire series. And from what I've seen, there's only one 'structurally impossible' woman, though a few of the others are somewhat unrealistic. The first ep had almost no fanservice in it, and we only see Garnet (the structually impossible woman) for a few seconds.

EricTheFred's suggestion is correct. This thread can be used for most minor purposes:
