Dragon Century is one of the most decieving Animes ever made. Everything about it leads to the conclusion that it is yet another blood-drenched, anti-human endtimes Anime. e.g. - (Demon City Shinjuku)
From the Boxart, the description,everything points to such a work.
But yet, it isn't. And becuase it doesn't conform to any expectations one would expect of a stand alone 'Dragon' anime, it succeeds wonderfully. It does this through 3 ways.
1. The universe it creates is a believeable and almost allegorical one. The characters found therin are beleivably human and thus it works with the precision of a Swiss clock. So good, that it unbelievable and tragic that it is only a stand alone anime.
2. The artwork and anime itself. Simply incredible. Not at all the quality one would expect. No Akira here, but it definetly is worthy of standing next to Anime classics like Ghost in the Shell. And this from a stand alone Anime!
3. Humor. Since it is such a well-made universe the humor from the characters is made all the better. But yet, it isn't everywhere, and the Zen-like timing it has makes it all the more important.
You will remember "Booster Dragon!".
Overall, this is amazing gemstone of a Anime and worthy of the journey it will surley be to find it.
