The Good Bye, Dragon Life anime is being directed by Kenichi Nishida, with Naokatsu Tsuda on series composition and Nozomi Kawashige as the main character designer for the SynergySP and Vega Entertainment production.
The story is described like so:
Once upon a time, the most ancient of divine dragons was slain by a human. The dragon, an immensely powerful being who had lived for an eternity and was feared even by the gods, accepted death along with the solitude it brought. However, the next thing the dragon knew, it had been granted a second life as Dolan, a human living in a remote village.
Now that Dolan has a far shorter life span than he did as a dragon, he spends his days working hard in the fields and hunting animals for food. His life in the village is simple, but warm and filled with small joys that he never experienced as a dragon.
But then, while he’s out investigating a swamp one day, Dolan comes face to face with Serina, a half-human, half-snake being known as a lamia. She says that she’s traveling in search of a mate, and that lamias aren’t very good at seducing humans. Despite being incompatible species, the two of them gradually open up to each other… but all sorts of outsiders stand in their way!
This is a fantasy story about a former all-powerful ancient dragon starting a brand-new life in a remote province!
