Synopsis
Mink is no ordinary teenage girl—she is half-human and half-dragon. Her father fell in love with a red dragon he had set out to kill, and instead of slaying it, he married her. From that union came Mink, who inherited horns, a tail, retractable wings, and incredible strength, all signs of her dragon side. Mink spends her days with her friend Pia, a dwarf girl whose parents are overly protective, and her best friend Lufa, an elf with strong healing powers but disastrously bad magic. The three of them constantly swoon over the dreamy, charming dragonslayer Dick Saucer. Yet in a sudden, absurd turn of events, Mink gets closer than ever to the object of her fantasies, only to realize her love may never be returned because of her dragon heritage. So the trio sets out on a quest to find a potion that will make Mink fully human. They might unintentionally make enemies, but they are sure to have one heck of a good time.
Background
Dragon Half is a two-episode original video animation consisting of Dragon Half: Mink's Journey and Dragon Half (Final): The Brutal Killer Martial Arts Tournament, adapting the first two volumes of the manga and released two months apart. Four episodes were planned, but the anime did not garner enough interest to justify a continued production. Dragon Half spawned a videogame of the same name for the TurboGraphx-16 console, or the PC Engine. The game utilizes the storyline of the anime. The voice actors from the anime reprise their roles in the game. The show received an English dubbing, of which ADV Films released on VHS in 2000, and then on DVD that same year. As of March 2014, Discotek Media licensed the franchise.
