Tame The Flame Dragons o_O

I have always been fascinated with dragons even when I was just a little kid. Dont actually know why, but dragons can really trigger my interests. That is one reason why I fancy watching shows or movies with dragons around. Dragonheart is my all-time favorite movie with regards to a dragon and Flame of Recca was one of those dragon-inspired anime I like.

I had once watched an anime about four brothers who happen to have various dragons residing on the very depths of their body such as the white, blue, red and black dragon which they can use if need be. They are actually transforming into a dragon! The characters are awesome and the storyline is not predictable. Sadly though, I forgot the exact title of that series and I dont think the title that was given was the original one so I'm having a hard time looking for that anime. I so badly want to watch that again.. :( (but if this anime rang a bell to you, kindly inform me with the title please.. :D tnx)

And with regards to my post, I am actually directed to sharing you the 8 Flame Dragons of Recca:

Recca uses his flame with the form of 8 flame dragons which are usually the spirits of former Flame Masters. Each spirit or flame dragon has a unique personality and distinct dragon technique or power. However, Recca has to tame them first before he can use their help. And if they have decided to be his ally (after a fight in a "mind dessert"), they then burn their names into Recca's arm which can be summoned whenever needed. Certain flame dragons work together to effectively help Recca.

1. Saiha (En Shin, The Fire Blade)

>>> He is one of the stubborn flame masters Recca encountered and had a difficulty taming; but in the end was able to master the technique which is a blade coming out from his arm that is able to slice through anything.

2. Nadare (Dan En, The Flame Ball)

>>> She is one of the dragons Recca can control skillfully and happened to come out of her own will to help Recca and his mother. This flame master is a smart and confident master of her fireball attack. She joined Recca together with Saiha at the same time.

3. Homura (Ben En, The Fire Whip/Strength)

>>> This flame dragon has the power of a strength enhancing flame, who came to Recca during the time that he was kind of "dead". By challenging Recca whether he is truly the person he can fight with even with his condition, he (Homura) burned his name unto Recca's arm the moment he stood up to continue his life and his fight with Kukai.

4. Setsuna (Shun En, The Fire Flash)

>>> His name means "Lord of the Dead" and he is a blind dragon with the ability to see using heat sensors. This flame master, when he was alive was cruel and arrogant, somewhat depicting that of his name. His fight with Recca was the most excruciating since he really wanted to kill him and not merely have a fight. Obviously, he was not happy about having to see his name wriitn on Recca's arm which happened unexpectedly.

5. Madoka (Kekkai En, The Fire Barrier)

>>> He can generate an "impenetrable" shield making him a dragon mainly intended for protection. His barrier was able to help Recca save loads of people from severe harm and taming him wasnt much of a problem.

6. Rui (Gen En, The Fire Illusion)

>>> She is able to draw up an illusion of all kinds or out of anything she desires to make use of; making her known as "The Mistress of Illusion". The way Recca fought with her in the desert was one of the amusing encounters.

7. Kokuu (The Fire Beam)

>>> This flame dragon who appeared as little perverted old man with a scar over one eye can make a large fireball and shoot a beam of fire with it. He has this crush for Fuuko which has become so evident. Kokuu usually appears in human form more frequently than the others, and seems to have some kind of friendship with Resshin. He didnt have a fight with Recca but instead trained Recca how to properly combine multiple dragons into one attack by stealing his 6 other dragons just before he got to fight Kurei. He then rendered his help to Recca the moment he mastered the technique.

8. Resshin (Absorbs Bodies; transforms the dead into living Flames like Kurenai)

>>> Resshin is the leader of the dragons, and most likely the most powerful. He is the spirit of Recca and Kurei's biological father, Ouka. Like Kokuu, Resshin does not fight Recca in the desert. While he lends his assistance to his sons when they fight against Mori Kouran's clone, he does not give his power to either.
