Ninjago: Aufstieg der Drachen

Ninjago: Dragons Rising is a great show with lots of character, charm, depth and epic action scenes. If you have never watched Ninjago before this would be a great place to start since S1 is very good and S2 so far has improved on that and continues to be awesome.

Arin and Sora who bounce off each other very well, also represent different views of the people who watch the show. Arin is a super ninja fan who looks up to the legendary ninja and knows every little thing about them (the people who have watched ninjago since the start). Sora is the tech genius who has never seen them before or know who they are (represents people whos only exposure to ninjago is DR). It is very clever of the writers to do that, since they reintroduce the ninja later on in S1 which causes Sora to like them due to how cool they are. It also helps that they are very likeable protagonists.

The merging of the 16 realms was also such a good idea since it allows for more stories that couldn't have been possible before. S2 continues to prove that since it dives into the consequences of the realms merging with Lord Ras trying to unleash evil through a blood moon ritual.

This show is so good and more people should be watching it! The animation is also stellar, it looks like moving concept art at times. The fight scenes in S2 are SO EPIC. If you are a fan of cartoons, or animation in general, don't let the fact that its LEGO put you off watching it, because S2 gets very dark at times and they also touch on the topic of mental health in it too. Such a good show.

Ninjago: Dragon Rising, the latest installment in the popular animated series, has captivated audiences with its compelling narrative, engaging characters, and stunning animation. This season continues the rich lore of Ninjago, delving deeper into the history of the Elemental Masters and their connection to the dragons. The seamless continuity with previous seasons allows fans to immerse themselves in a familiar yet evolving world, while the character development and growth add depth and emotional resonance to the storytelling.

One of the standout features of Dragon Rising is its continuation of the established Ninjago lore. The season builds upon previous plot points, introducing new elements and expanding the mythology of the world. This continuity allows fans to feel connected to the characters and their journeys, as they witness the consequences of past actions and the development of new challenges.

The character development in Dragon Rising is another highlight. The young ninja team continues to mature and evolve, facing new obstacles and learning valuable lessons. Their relationships deepen, and their individual strengths and weaknesses are explored in greater detail. This character growth makes the characters more relatable and engaging, allowing audiences to connect with them on a personal level.

The animation in Dragon Rising is simply breathtaking. The visuals are stunning, with vibrant colors, fluid movements, and intricate details. The action sequences are thrilling and dynamic, showcasing the ninja's incredible skills and the power of the dragons. The animation enhances the storytelling, immersing viewers in the world of Ninjago and making the characters and their adventures feel more real.

In conclusion, Ninjago: Dragon Rising is a triumph of storytelling that continues to captivate audiences. The season's strong points include its seamless continuity, engaging characters, and stunning animation. By building upon the established lore, developing the characters, and delivering visually stunning action sequences, Dragon Rising offers a satisfying and memorable viewing experience for fans of all ages.

Ninjago: Dragons Rising earns a perfect 10/10 from me. As a longtime fan, I was blown away by this season's blend of thrilling action, deep character development, and poignant themes of friendship and bravery. Season 1 delights with its exciting storyline and heartfelt moments, while Season 2 delves into darker territory, resonating with older viewers without losing the series' charm. The writing is masterful, crafting a narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat while delivering meaningful messages. Dragons Rising is a must-watch, showcasing Ninjago at its absolute best. I was worried about all the new changes in this series, however I am so pleasantly surprised. Its such a fun and enjoyable show with great messages and characters. The writing is amazing and very enjoyable.

From start to finish the character's new to old are instantly enjoyable with great interactions they do a great job of making Arin and Sora likeable protagonists and the many villains unlikeable. The merge is a well done and intriguing way to do a soft reboot. The story is a simple yet affective good vs evil story. The hero's trying to protect the dragons while the villains try to capture the dragons' simple right? It could have been a boring story, but the characters elevated the experience. The 16 realms merging worked to give the ninja new locations to go to with new allys and villains to fight while it also does have a bit of fetch quest style it doesn't drag on to long for the most part. The story isn't complete quite yet but once it is i would say i recommend this series to anyone trying to get into Ninjago's story but also longtime fans.

So far Dragons Rising Seasons 1 & 2 dropped, and I gotta say that Seasons 1 & 2 of Dragons Rising are some of the best seasons of Ninjago ever produced. The story isn't rushed at all as it actually takes its time to fully flesh out the characters and the stories, speaking of the characters: There are a bunch of newly introduced characters in this pre-reboot, even 3 brand new members for the ninja team. All 3 of them are well-written and are actually likeable characters. There's also a baby/teenager dragon called Riyu in the team, which is like the baby yoda/baby groot of Ninjago right now.

Speaking of the old ninja, they're also still in this show as a huge part of it, and they aren't entirely sidelined. If they are sidelined, then that is simply a buildup for the future of Ninjago (Dragons Rising seasons 3, 4, 5 etc.) The villains are also cool except for a few which I think are just meh.

And the animation. Oh. My. Goodness.

That animation is absolutely phenomenal. It's genuinely so visually beautiful, so beautiful to the point where you'll forget that this is a LITERAL LEGO SHOW ABOUT RAINBOW NINJA MINIFIGURES. That's how good the animation is.

Overall, this is one of the best things that has ever happened to Ninjago after a horrible finale season (Season 15/Crystalized) and I am so happy that a great childhood show like Ninjago is still on its toes running for more and greater content to bring.
