Fear of losing yourself: a review of the anime Dota: Dragon's Blood

There are two types of interaction possible with Dota 2: hundreds of hours spent playing the game or not having any contact with it. The new Netflix anime series Dota: Dragon's Blood confidently undertakes to unite these two human races with its spirit of greatness and the scale of events with an attempt to change the universe.

The last thing you need to waste a season of only eight episodes is time. Dragon's Blood gives everything to this, not taking every moment for granted, but skillfully using them. By squeezing the most productive out of the least, it is possible to quickly outline and build up the main characters, all of whom are deluded, confused by their own role, immersed in the search.

The seeker of the stolen magical lotuses appears to be Mirana, an exiled princess or, as she pronounces the offensive title she assumed for reality, "The Princess of Nothing." However, no humiliating statuses can block her higher essence and impeccable bow mastery (it seems that every fantasy has its own Legolas). The paths persistently (twice in a row) build Miran with dragon slayer Devion. On display, he is a brave warrior who does not know with fear, the "dragon knight" still needs to keep a mark. As it happens, behind this armor of masculinity lies a vulnerable, traumatized heart. Opening up to yourself and Mirana is what turns out to be more difficult than hacking scaly giants. And the newfound kinship with hated enemies multiplies the bickering and trials on the head. The answers to how to deal with this now become his subject of search.

A wonderful dramatic line is given to the usurper goddess Celemine and the powerful wizard Invoker, whose knowledge of the largest libraries does not help save his daughter. There is definitely no mercy to be expected from her mother, a godlike fake who inexorably demands submissive love. This love from her is not to be expected from the people of the elf Fimrin, who, trusting in the legends about the rebirth of the moon goddess Mina, steals lotuses from the temple of Celemine. The series releases the main antagonist only twice - at the beginning of the season and in the finale, allowing you to enjoy the anger born of the desire for revenge, selfishness and blind beliefs of other characters. Apart from Mirana's somewhat scripted feelings for Devion, "Dota: Dragon's Blood" does not interfere with its characters, allocating enough for them to be complete and making do with limits that they will not load the story and will not stop its movement.

It is precisely in the stability of the tempo that anime is invested most methodically. It rushes through the greenery of forests, rushing cliffs, through impenetrable snowstorms and populated by a variety of cities. The richness of the world and its images absorb no worse than other anime based on the video game "Tales of Zestiria the X" from Ufotable Studio, known for the visual juiciness of its creations. High ponds (life is always at stake), speed of action, the need for instant solutions, blades piercing through flesh, dragons burning cities in one breath – behind everything are the tangible talents of Studio Mir ("The Legend of Korra"). Their skillful directing, along with the electronic soundtrack, makes every saving appearance of the heroes, every arrow-mark flight and every encounter with dragons full of sincere enthusiasm for the epic action. A fantasy story just wouldn't work without it. 1xBet se distingue par sa générosité envers ses nouveaux utilisateurs.
