Dragons - Die 9 Welten

This 6 part show isn't a solid stand-alone series the plot, animation, background story, ending, motive, setup, and delivery is jarring and poorly done. This diverse cast is the most substantial part of the show, and it's easy to follow along with the story are the best parts of the show. (The motive of Tom, the lead, is dumb and against the people of his new town and the dragons he kills more than he protects. Just to keep the dragons a secret.

Granted I do have nitpicks with the series, but those are small. I came into this show with low expectations and left the first season pleasantly surprised and intrigued. The stories and characters are really good here and each character gets their time to shine with their dragon companions.

While there are some things to potentially gripe about, like the animation and a few other things, it doesn't bring the show down as much as you would think. This show is worthy of future seasons and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for this show.

I will admit that I only watched the first episode, but there doesn't seem to be anything to keep me watching. I honestly can't think of a thing I liked about it, so I'll move on to the negatives.

1. The story felt too bland 2. The characters are unlikeable (to me at least) 3. The animation looks a bit sloppy compared to the projects the HTTYD series has had in the past.

4. The style of the humans does not seem to match with the past films or series's, the human designs all look vastly different to each other. (Not in a good stylized way) 5. This last issue may be a personal gripe, but the voice actor for the the lead character does not match the body and age, it feels very off.

Overall, if you are looking for a bold new leap into the future of the HTTYD franchise, this is more of a backwards summersault leading into a face plant. Give it a try if you want, but to me, this is a disappointment.

Amazing premise, lot of potential but i cannot get over how bad it is currently it is just so bad.

The animation is horrid and most times lip syncing doesn't Sync facial animations are Also Atrocious Cookie cutter characters (Strong dude, Shy nerd, Energetic Kid, Reasonable kid) Nothing is Explained in any way It really is a Mockery to the former Movies and other series.

It has the same animation as How to Train Your Dragon, so it's a guarantee of a good job.

It has an interesting story that takes dragons to the modern era, or more accurately to the future, coordinating how Toothless and Hiccup's adventure ended. The first 5 episodes introduce the protagonists and their dragons, and then a final episode. The only bad thing is that this final episode is not an ending in itself, it feels like a normal chapter of the previous series rather than a final episode.

In fact, the reason I give it a 6 as a rating is that my son looked at me with a "put the next chapter" face and I had to explain that it ended like that, which seemed strange to him too.

It promises to be a fun series, as its predecessors had been, but hopefully they will give it a season finale if they return.
