DOTA: Dragon's Blood is the newly announced animated series based on the popular free-to-play MOBA. The eight-episode series comes from a collaboration between Valve and Netflix, with the animation handled by Studio MIR, which worked on The Legend of Korra and Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender.

We're excited to announce a brand-new anime series exploring the Dota universe like never before. As fellow fans of Dota and its passionate global community, we look forward to sharing this new adventure with you when it premieres on Netflix March 25.https://t.co/rHcL5QSi5b

The first trailer and a synopsis for the series was also released today, giving fans a peek of what to expect:

​

The sweeping fantasy series tells the story of Davion, a renowned Dragon Knight devoted to wiping the scourge from the face of the world. Following encounters with a powerful, ancient eldwurm as well as the noble Princess Mirana on a secret mission of her own, Davion becomes embroiled in events much larger than he could have ever imagined.

DOTA: Dragon's Blood premieres March 25 on Netflix.

Dota is bad

I want a TF2 cartoon. Valve was too lazy to get the episodes in on time but they're putting in effort for a different IP that's less funny.

One of my students has Dragon Knight as his avatar and was super excited, so he shared this with the class earlier today.

I guess Valve is trying to make DOTA a multimedia franchise in the same way Riot is with League. It's an interesting idea - I hope it's good.

It's kind of safe to play it with Davion though. With a massive roster of interesting characters and designs, it would have been cool to see the animation team tackle a few other characters.

Who the hell called the Dragon Knight? He's like the most boring and uninteresting hero in the entire cast

 

[smileyhead]

Too bad the TF2 cartoon never got made.
But hey, this is a different company from Adult Swim, and if it can work this time, maybe there's still some hope for TF2.

I was thinking the same. I was excited to see what characters it showed. Was very dissapointed. The animations already in dota 2 are far better than this.

So, they canceled Altered Carbon and pump out anime trash based on trash video-games.

Glad I only enjoyed the free month and didn't renew the subscription. I was about to, actually.

Could be interesting, I'm being cautious here tho

Dota is bad

OK so...they basically make Anime out of every game out there,
just not Metroid anime or movie or anything Metroid...i mean seriously?!

i mean, castlevania was an awesome video game based anime, but im going to keep cautious.

Yes i agree, i watched all seasons, it was great really! But thats one, and one that i like, but i really want to see metroid. At least they make castlevania games unlike metroid ones.

hey why so grief on animation of dota? Netflix made castlevania and its very good!!..
Dragon Knight is a Tank in dota in my perspective, and its boring? my god what kind of community is in here..

anyway, hope Dota Netflix animation is good,.
hoping the story line is good, and why they battle the two thrones.

hope they invest more animation based on video games!!

I would love to see a metroid show/movie. Also I think dark souls/bloodborne would make a great anime

Not every traditionally animated TV show is an anime. Anime specifically means Japanese animation. Misuse of the terms "anime" and "manga" is some of the most annoying crap weebs have to face when talking to non-weebs about cartoons and comics.
