As is usual in the ADV previews, they string together some of the most
interesting scenes in a way that's a bit confusing. But it actually is a
pretty good comedy.

The setting is a mix of sword & scorcery with present or near-future. The
main character is "Mink", a cute, seemly ditzy, teenager whose parents
happen to be a red dragon and a former swordsman. In the opening we see her
watching (on a flat-screen TV) the teen idol and dragon slayer "Dick
Saucer".  She spends much of the plot-line trying to go see Dick Saucer
with her friends, while, much to her surprise, various parties are trying to
kill her, on account of grudges against her or her parents. (Fortuately,
Mink still has dragon-like endurance and fighting abilities.)

The plot isn't especially strong on logic, but it does have a lot of funny
bits. Some people have reported rolling on the floor laughing; my reaction
wasn't quite that strong, but I'd say it is worth seeing.

The flipping in and out of SD form is just part of the style, it happens
for little or no reason.
