If you're a Dota 2 fan, you'll know it's a very big week for the MOBA game's universe. The Netflix anime Dota: Dragon's Blood drops in just a couple days, and the streaming giant has been pumping out videos - featuring popular Dota 2 YouTuber SirActionSlacks - about what the show will bring. Now, Netflix's posted a clip telling Dota lovers out there why they should tune in.
In a new clip "made just for Dota fans", SirActionSlacks gives a rundown of reasons the show might appeal to existing Dota fans. Reason number one, the YouTuber says, is simple and to-the-point: "because it's badass!" He explains that the show isn't just a videogame adaptation or made for a younger audience - instead it's "adult". "Characters curse, have sex, get drunk, and get eviscerated violently - gloriously. Much like a ranked Dota game, in this world anything could happen - and, typically, the worst does."
He adds that, with an adult audience in mind, the show won't present viewers with predictable storylines or "forced morality" - it "respects you, the viewer".
