This is my 5th watch through of Dota and I asked if she was interested in watching it on a whim. Essentially her entire and only experience with Dota has been through this anime.

She is not a gamer. She basically has a computer that she plays the sims on maybe an hour or 2 a week.

She's never seen anything dota before in her life. She's never played a MOBA, never seen anyone play a MOBA.

I thought it'd be a great idea to show the anime to her blind, not tell her anything other than I liked it. I asked she said sure why not.

When ended up binging through the episodes at her pace and finishing it in about a week, and a half.

Here's what she thought about it.

She liked it. It was pretty good and engaging and it grabbed her attention enough to keep us attached to the screen each episode, and excitingly putting the next episode on.

Her favorite characters ended up being Marci, Luna and Filomena.

She really enjoyed Luna's character arc, and she was super sad when Marci died, and wanted Marci back. She was quite happy when Marci was in the 3rd season.

She did express that the pacing was quite fast, and it was a bit of a jampacked show, while still having a story that gets every bit it needs to in. I don't blame her, because it is one of the small issues with the show is that the entire thing is quite quickly paced and there is a universe of lore being detailed and built super quickly, all while following this intense story.

Her words were that we would need to watch it again but she liked it.

She also appreciated the sheer amount of very powerful women in this anime. And I definitely agree witht his. Like, people asked, dota delivered, holy hell.

Me personally this is my 5th watch through of the anime and I really can't help it, but want to watch it again. Filomena's part is so fantastic to watch, and Mirana is such a great character. Watching her turn from meek self exile into legitmate bad ass with a hard choice to make, it's fantastic.

Filomena getting the last word, the last say, what a marvelous character and marvelous end for the series.

I think Filomena may be the one thing about the anime I've accidentally skewed for her, because it was very obvious to my gf that I really really like Filomena's character and how incredible she is. I couldnt hide that very well.

I think in any of the 12403 realities created by Invoker, Davion and Fymryn could be together.

The story of dragons blood is over. But, there may be another series, which, in fact, may already be in production. Valve never announces anything until it's released. If there's going to be a new Dota story in the same vein as Dragons Blood, which story would you want, and why?

One of the most beautiful quotes I've ever heard in television, and in one of the most tragic contexts. Not going to provide the name of who said it, just watch the show to its end. I simply wanted to pay tribute to the writing.

So last night I finished this amazing show and I really liked it, but I'm still a little upset with the ending and most of season 3. For me season 1 was a really good introduction, season 2 was amazing and the best of all in my opinion, but season 3 disappointed me a bit compared to season 1 and 2, many things happened that seemed unnecessary, starting with what I hated the most which obviously was >!Davion's death. I understand that the message of the series is "letting go for the better" and that kind of things like Mirana with Davion and the Invoker with his daughter, but I really didn't like how they left Davion dead or the concept of "heroic sacrifice", not only that but they displaced him to be a mere secondary character so that the protagonists could be Mirana and Filomena who I don't dislike, they're cool but they don't convince me as protagonists. Another thing that doesn't convince me is the reboot of the universe as if nothing that had happened in the previous seasons had really mattered, but I know that was the main idea of this season so I can understand it, in fact I thought they would take advantage of that new universe to revive the video game characters who died (Davion, Marci, Lina and Auroth) but sadly they didn't use that opportunity and only returned things to the way they were after they killed Terrorblade.!<

!I’m not a Dota 2 player (but I’m going to start playing it since I really liked this anime) so I don’t know much about Dota except the characters so I’d like to ask someone who knows more about the lore if there’s any realistic chance that Davion could somehow be revived after the ending. And I know Ashley Miller said that the story finished in book 3, but I would really love if they did a fourth season and Davion could be able to come back and just stay with Mirana and their child cuz I really think Davion deserved better and that would be a better ending for his story.!<

But I know most people are happy with the ending of the anime so please don’t be mad at me if you don’t think the same as me, that was just my humble opinion, I just wanted to talk about this incredible anime cuz I really liked it (even more than Arcane) and I hope that at some point in the future they surprise us with a fourth season.

Started playing Dota 2 back in 2013 but quit in 2018 due to fatigue and life stuff. Recently got back into it this year and my love for the game has been rekindled. My return to the game prompted me to finally make time for dragon's blood. Ive seen images and discussions about it and while i was curious, i dismissed it because at the time i renounced everything to do with dota.... But now i wish i had seen it sooner. Book 1 had a strong start, i personally think Book 2 was the peak, and while book 3 was the weakest for me it had a strong finale. Im a big cry baby so i definitely shed some tears. My main issue is the pacing and the fact they didnt utilize more heroes but overall im very satisfied. If i had to rank it id give it 8. Not the best videogame-to-tv-show adaption(castlevania is still my favorite) but it's up there

I’m surprised that they don’t make sets on Marci that refer to Avatar Korra, the set would be like a reference to Studio Mir, which made Dota Dragon’s Blood and Avatar The Legend of Korra itself, plus Marci ultimate ability can be considered partially as an entrance to the Avatar state. Several styles were possible at once ...

I don’t want to upset the fans of DOTA: Dragon's Blood (which I was before, i really like the show) It looks like there will be no continuation of the story... 2 years have passed and since then there has been deathly silence. Zero info, any teaser or mentioning or something related. Just nothing. Like everyone just forgot that Dragon's Blood even existed. Valve doesn’t seem to care at all what will happen next with this project for a while, or perhaps they stopped thinking about this project, apparently due to low views, and therefore a continuation with other heroes (Oracle, Windranger, Axe, Phantom Lancer, Tiny, Arc Warden) or even new ones or old characters, which is very sad. They could, even after the completion of Dragon’s Blood storyline, make projects in the universe not only with the Studio Mir, but also with other animation studios, but for some reason no one wants to do this, which make me really upset and probably we shouldn’t expect anything in the near future, but there is still a little hope in my heart because of recent Dota 2 event. (Crownfall)

What do you think? Can we expect new animated projects in the universe or is it better to forget about it? Maybe I'm too pessimistic or is everything said right? Tell me your thoughts please.

Hi, I've been watching the Dota series again and I love the music but I can't find many of the songs. Could someone tell me the name of the song that plays in the scene where Filomena tells her father that she is still sick in the last episode of season 3 (Min 13:10)? I can't find it anywhere. Or is there somewhere I can find the full soundtrack of season 3?

Yes, I chose meme-y wording for the title. But it describes my feeling toward the show and the reactions to it quite well. This show's dialogues were amazing, heartfelt, full of depth. The dynamics between the characters were excellently done. The voice acting was top notch. The soundtracks were excellent.

The increasing complexity of the plot (i.e the greater role that complex concepts like forging realities, the eldwyrms, the sun vs moon theme to Mirana's arc and basically all the cosmic stuff) was executed at absolute breakneck pace; this show was known for going fast especially from season 2 onward. And yet, amidst this, it was the characters and their most relatable feelings, struggles and motives that continued to occupy centerstage in terms of driving the plot. For example, grief at losing one's child resulting in the transformation of the universe itself and the downfall of a goddess.

That sort of stuff is just absolutely plain fucking brilliant and I refuse to let the excellence of this show stay unappreciated. Ashley Edward Miller's team had less time to deliver this show to us than they deserved, because oh boy were they brilliant.

I was absolutely hooked, and two years on I cannot stop feeling personally offended at how unappreciated this show remains.

Bot invasion?

Or at the very least, very low effort posting.

Post a single scene from the anime, title is practically just "look guys a character from the show :D", and one single comment from the OP.

So the Blood of Zeus got its second season after 4 years, so is there going to be a new season for Dota anime too?

How are they related? There's not even one mention of fundamentals, celestials or titans in dota series. Meanwhile Mirana's and DK's personas have voice lines related to fundamentals, celestials and Elder Titan specifically. Davion doubts that ET forged the world and says that eldwurms were the real pillar of creation. Slyrak says him that 'you never understood your place'. Davion also compares Enigma to pillars of creation (they're nothing compared to the thunder) while Mirana refers to them as The Void.

There's also someplace called Wyrmforge, from where The Fallen Sky weapon also originates. It is related to Titan somehow too, through lore of his set Warden of the Wyrmforge Shard (previously Warden of the Gong which is interesting).

Does dota: dragon's blood takes place in some kind of alternative universe? It isn't canon obviously but it's still dota. There's Ancients, Zet and Primordial Mind. What place could other cosmical and celestial beings take in the series?

so how did mene go mad the first time selemene keeps saying that. and why wore there 2 moons

I just finished season 2 and like... Why did he start destroying thw whole city out of a sudden?

First of all he turned into the Void Elderwyrm when he was attacked by Auroth, but he barely broke a sweat killing Lina, who looked like a really powerful sorceress (Lina even beat Davion/Slyrak hybrid)

And then he just started wrecking the city? Why?

Also weren't the Elderwyrms confirmed to have died in the dream, and begun the process if being reborn? Is it ever explained how this random guy can turn into the Void Elderwyrm (or more likely, IS the Void Elderwyrm)? We know he used that power to kill Mirana's parents, which means he had that power so many years before. But now that the Elderwyrms have been destroyed, he still has it. How is that possible?

As the title says.

The series itself (at least in my opinion) can rival some of the great Japanese series. Neither its quality or story is lacking (again, that just my opinion) So how come is it that it barely got any coverage?

The story revolves around Vengeful Spirit and Skywarth Mage with a rebellious plot against their false queen Imperia.

If you're hungry for some fresh Dota story content, there's also a new comic:

Here's Crownfall page: https://www.dota2.com/crownfall

This might not be related to the anime, but it's been a while since we get anything close to a Dota narrative, so you might want to check this one out. Happy fishin'.

My wife and I watched Seasons 1 and 2 in 2022 whilst she was pregnant and thoroughly enjoyed it. Filomena was so cute that we loved the thought of expecting a girl! Alas we had a boy. Then newborn parenting was tough and we completely missed that Season 3 came out, and it was only recently that we've found the time to watch it.

What a blast! I really enjoyed the throwbacks to Season 1 even though it was so long ago that we watched it. I liked the villain switching from Terrorblade to Invoker throughout the season. I loved the overarching theme of parental love and what you'd do for your kids. Really struck a note with me. I'd love to see this continued, it seems like it's the end but I've enjoyed it regardless. I don't even play Dota, just enjoy good animes! :)

!the quotes iirc said by mirana when doing rebellion to throw his uncle off the trone, iirc she said if I born to be a god the I should acts like one iirc this is said on s3!<

anyone could help me correct the quotes from the actual sources?
