Dragon Drive
Synopsis:
Throughout his life, Oozora Reiji has always been rather half-hearted. Never able to fully dedicate himself to anything, he lives a sloppy day-to-day existence, until his classmate Yukino introduces him to Dragon Drive -- a virtual reality game. While Reiji garners a passion for the game, it would seem that its founders have other things in mind than simple entertainment. During a special training, Reiji discovers that Dragon Drive is more than just a game, and now must fight for the survival of the dragons as well as all of mankind!

add recDragon Drive and Angelic Layer are must-see anime. They both start off seeming like they are about a simple fighting game, but each has a hidden twist that ends up changing the main character and allowing him to make a lot of new friends.
Both Dragon Drive and Angelic Layer involve two kids that discover an amazing game. They must strive to become the best of all the other players, bonding with either their dragon or angel along the way. The animation is good, the music is okay, and the story is cute and fun to watch.
Topics like friendship and persistence in competition are at the center of these anime. They're a male and female version of the same original idea. The stories mostly concern the mood of the main characters, and adapt to the male/female viewers during the second halves. Dragon Drive turns into a quest to save the world, while Angelic Layer becomes more sentimental.
There's a great chance that if you liked Dragon Drive, you'll love Angelic Layer. Essentially, they're about the same thing: fighting and the rise to fame. Dish in some comedy, relationships and teamwork, and you have both series in a nutshell. But where Dragon Drive is mostly directed towards the male audience, Angelic Layer is mostly targeted at females. This, however, should not stop you from watching this series, as it's pure brilliance.
if you replace "Dragon" with "Angels" and "D Zones" with "Layers" you have Angelic Layer it is just that the story unfoldes differently....
