Yet in my heart of hearts, I wonder if showrunner Ashley Edward Miller and the delightful producers of Korean anime production house Studio Mir have actually played the game or explored the rich lore of Dota 2. For players familiar with the game, you’d appreciate the almost omnipotent portrayal of the Invoker (Troy Baker) and the ever-baleful shadow of the Foulfell demon Terroblade (JB Blanc). However, if you do listen closely, the soundtrack is haunting at times and does add a surreal dimension to an otherwise hasty and token-ish adaptation. Dragon's Blood is legitimately pulling from Dota lore, here.

The original mod features gameplay centered around two. The star of the Netflix series is Dragon Knight, aka Davion, but he's not the only Dota hero in the series. The series began in 2003 with the release of Defense of the Ancients ( DotA ), a fan-developed multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) mod for the video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, The Frozen Throne. I have since demanded an explanation from him in an e-mail interview.ĭota: Dragon’s Blood character Invoker. Dota is a series of strategy video games now developed by Valve. One also wonders, of all the amazingly diverse 120 characters in Dota 2, why showrunner Ashley Edward Miller had to choose the blandest characters in all the game to do an anime adaptation on. The characters and themes are surprisingly adult with an M18 rating, which I wonder why was even necessary or related to the game at all.Ĭharacters drop casual f-bombs, the Coedwig elves (light-skinned elves, who also have the strangest Australian accents) live in incestuous pods where family orgies are the norm (Davion at one point scratches his head like me in confusion), and the Scottish-accented Dark Moon Goddess Selemene (PRAISE THE MOON OF MENE) confers upon her virginal female followers lesbian kisses which result in a patchy, pink leprosy on their skins. The adaptation’s art style is reminiscent of Netflix’s Castlevania, but unfortunately nowhere close in terms of execution, dialogue and plot.
