Dragons of Wonderhatch (Wonderhatch -Sora-Tobu Ry no Shima-) may be an instant hit for Disney+ when it launches later this month. The forthcoming series offers a fantastic concept and eye-catching imagery.

Though not much has been said about the project on the internet up to this point, we hope that will change when reviews start to come in and word of mouth starts to spread.

The project's small but dedicated fan base, however, has compared it to How To Train Your Dragon for fans of anime.

Check out the trailer below and let us know if you plan on tuning in.

Based on the trailer, it seems the creator of Upananta resides in the real world, a twist that should remind anime fans of the criminally underrated 2017 anime series, Re:Creators, which originally streamed on Prime Video.

The primary distinction between this program and Re:Creators, though, is that the anime characters in Dragons of Wonderhatch also become real as they travel to the real world.

The anime component of the project is being handled by Production I.G, with animated segments supervised by Takashi Otsuka (One Piece Stampede). The filmmaker behind the live-action parts, Kentarō Hagiwara (live-action Tokyo Ghoul), is said to have spent more than five years crafting the concept.Screenplay credit goes to Kyōta Fujimoto, Takamasa Ōe, and Anna Kawahara.

The series stars Sena Nakajima (We Are Little Zombies) as Nagi,  Daiken Okudaira (Insomniacs After School) as Tyme, and Mackenyu Arata (One Piece, Ruroni Kenshin: The Final) as Akuta. Fun fact, Mackenyu is the son of legendary martial arts actor, Sonny Chiba.

Additonally, Kenjiro Tsuda (Kento Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen) plays the evil dragonrider Gyro and Rena Tanaka plays Hana, Nagi's late mother who worked as a manga creator. Japanese fashion model Sumire (The Shack, The Brighton Miracle)  also appears as Saira, a Upanantan researcher obsessed with the real world.

Currently, Dragons of Wonderhatch is set to be released globally, on December 20 on Disney+ and Disney+ HotStar. 

Dragons of Wonderhatch Synopsis:
The story revolves around Nagi, a fantasy-loving high school student in the real world city of Yokosuka, Japan, and Tyme a "dropout" dragon rider who resides in the anime world of Upananta. When floating islands start to fall out of the sky in Upananta, Tyme sets out on a journey to solve the crisis by finding the missing hero, Akuta. It turns out the the crisis in Upananta could also have dire consequences for the real world and Akuta is currently on his own mission in the real world to find a solution that could save both realities.

Okay, two things:

1.: Good to see Mackenyu, but his voice acting during the anime scenes felt lacking.
2.: The music and costumes give off some strong Monster Hunter vibes.

Should be an interesting watch.

A lot of users are about to move the goal post and say it's ok. Anytime something flops they'll pull out the buzzwords.🤡


This looks incredible so I doubt they'll say anything.

I understand this is geared towards 10 year old girls and perverts with Japanese schoolgirl fetishes, but what does this cheap looking thing have to do with comic book movies?

I mean, this is cool and all, but how are these books?

@ClintThaHamster - not the same thing but sure

@Taonrey - I was agreeing with you. Amazon started off as a website that only sold books. CBM.com started off as a website that only reported on comic book movies. Both expanded to cover more things. Metaphors have never been my strong suit, but I'll stand by this one.

The huge Dragon at the end of trailer looked good but the rest of the trailer I was like it might be alright.
