Chaos Dragon (Japanese: ケイオスドラゴン, Hepburn: Keiosu Doragon) is a Japanese media franchise based on the Japanese role-playing game Red Dragon by Makoto Sanda, featuring characters created by Gen Urobuchi, Kinoko Nasu, Izuki Kogyoku, Simadoriru, and Ryōgo Narita.

An anime television series titled Chaos Dragon: Sekiryū Sen'eki (ケイオスドラゴン 赤竜戦役), produced by Silver Link and Connect, aired from July 2015 to September 2015.[1] AnimeLab has secured streaming rights in Australia & New Zealand.[2] The franchise also includes a board game, titled Chaos Dragon: Haō Shunjū, and a role-playing game for iOS and Android devices, titled Chaos Dragon: Konton Senso, which released in 2015.

Plot

[edit]

The story takes place in Huanli (the Year of Dazzling) 3015. D'natia and Kōran, two countries fighting for supremacy, are causing the world to be torn apart due to the constant war. Amidst the strife is the island country Nil Kamui, which has lost its independence. Red Dragon, the guardian god of Nil Kamui, goes out of control. Will the island country be able to regain its independence?

Chaos Dragon is based on the role-playing fiction project Red Dragon, a story which was created by five notable writers: Gen Urobuchi, Kinoko Nasu, Izuki Kogyoku, Ryōgo Narita, and Simadoriru (member of the Stripe Pattern doujin circle). The results of their tabletop role-playing game sessions over six days created material for a seven-volume light novel series.
