13''Chaos Dragon'' is a TwelveEpisodeAnime based on ''Red Dragon'', a Role-Playing-Fiction project involving an all-star crew of [[Franchise/NasuVerse Kinoko Nasu]], Creator/GenUrobuchi, [[Literature/{{Baccano}} Ryohgo]] [[Literature/{{Durarara}} Narita]], Izuki Kougyoku (the author of the light novel ''Mimizuku to Yoru no Ou''), and Simadoriru (who works with the Stripe Pattern doujin circle). Hosted by the publisher Seikaisha, it was a six day TabletopRPG session played by the various writers with Makoto Sanda as the Fiction Master.

15Nill Kamui is an island nation struggling beetween the two powers of D'Natia and Huanglan. One day, the guardian deity of the country, the Red Dragon, rampages and destroy an army led by Ibuki, a descendant of Imperial lineage whose want to communicate with it. A joint party then formed, consisting of elite soldiers from superpower countries of D'Natia and Huanglan, to investigate the cause of Red Dragon's rampage... and either try to return it to its senses or destroy it.

17Creator/HitoshiSakimoto has composed original music for the project, and Simadoriru was in charge of the art direction. Veia was in charge of Title Design. Kiyomune Miwa and Ukyō Kodachi, the writer of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' light novels, are the Fiction System Designers who helped shape the fictional world with Sanda. Katsushi Ōta is the overall producer of the project. Much like the ''Literature/RecordOfLodossWar'' series, its replays are serialized on their official website during January 2012. The members of the staff have prepared one thousand pages and two hundred illustrations for the scenario over the period of a year, so that the authors may enjoy their session.

19Creator/SilverLink produced the anime and it was released in Summer 2015.

21----
22!!This anime provides examples of:
23
24* AllThereInTheManual: A lot of the information about the characters, world building, etc comes from the Red Dragon guidebook.
25* TheAnimeOfTheGame: Adapted from ''Red Dragon''.
26* AnyoneCanDie: There is Creator/GenUrobuchi in there, folks... expect people to die.
27** Simadoriru as well, just ready any of the White Stripe Touhou Doujins. It only takes two episodes for Ibuki's best friends to die horribly.
28%%* BadassCape: Luo Zhenjie.
29* {{BFS}}: Swallow's Black Blade skill.
30* BigDamnHeroes: Ibuki and Eiha to Agito.
31* BigBad: [[spoiler:Inori]] drove the Red Dragon mad, leading to the destruction of much of Nill Kamui, while trying to bend the country to her rule.
32* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Luo after his/her bisection, still bearing a massive, disfiguring scar on his/her stomach]].
33* CrazyPrepared: Luo again. On the first meeting with the other main characters, he went to Eight Arms Clan's headquarters to seek a pawn for himself. He himself stood back to observe the meeting from a vantage point. All other players are flabbergasted.
34* CurbStompBattle: The first battle, Ibuki, Eiha and Val against Agito's would-be-assassins. Val just ''gobbles'' them.
35* {{Expy}}: Urlica Ledesma is noted by the readers as a [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] clone.
36* FlashForward: The story begins with Red Dragon's first rampage, but the main story starts 2 months later.
37* LegendaryWeapon: Luo's demonic sword, the Tisha Qianling.
38* LimitedWardrobe: Not surprising for a story based on an RPG session. This one went on six nights in a row and no one talked about changing their clothes.
39* GenderFlip: Luo Zhenjie became a woman called Luo Zhenfa in the TV series.
40* OmnicidalManiac: Nasu immediately assumed that Luo was one of these. Given that he/she was played by Gen Urobuchi, it's not even a spoiler.
41* PaintItBlack: [[spoiler: Swallow's arms from the Curse of Pulverization.]]
42* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Luo]].
43%%* RedBaron
44* RuleOfCool: The original character designs -- the creators were encouraged to go wild. For example, Swallow's crazy greaves and five swords in scabbards at his hip.
45** Luo's high heels in the TV series are the definition of AwesomeButImpractical.
46* SuperpowerLottery: Swallow's Curse of Pulverization, that triples his battle and weapon prowess... [[BlessedWithSuck but destroy his weapons on first use]].
47%%* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Swallow and Luo.
48* TitleDrop: The final boss is also the title of the RPF.
49* WorthyOpponent: Swallow and Luo. Mainly because Swallow's player couldn't bring himself to trust Luo's player.
50* {{Wuxia}}: The Chinese influenced setting along with the journey that takes place throughout the entire series brings to mind Wuxia.
