![]() Or it could have something to do with how dense the world of The Dragon Prince is. Maybe it's because the episodes are basically half-hour chunks instead of a full hour. Perhaps it's because The Dragon Prince inexplicably only received 9-episode orders per season. Double Dragon The Animated Series Season 2 (238) 1994 TV-Y7 An animated TV series based on the first Double Dragon video game. 1 It was produced by DIC Animation City, Bohbot Entertainment, and Italian studio Reteitalia, S.p.A., in association with Spanish network Telecinco. Other Netflix shows have suffered from uneven story pacing while trying to clock in on time for a 10-episode season, but for some reason the cracks in Netflix's system are more pronounced this time. Double Dragon is an animated series based on the NES versions of the Double Dragon video game trilogy, that ran for 26 half-hour episodes from 1993 to 1994. That's more than double the amount The Dragon Prince has to work with, which explains why the latter doesn't have the time to devote to anything that isn't driving the plot forward. For example, Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons each ran for 20-21 episodes a piece. Sure, this gave us a lot of cheap cartoons with recycled animation and filler episodes, but it also gave writers a large canvas upon which to do something deep and fulfilling. Back in ye olden days, animated shows for kids were ordered in bulk. There are a total of 118 episodes in this series which span across 8 seasons. Let me be clear: I do not blame the creators of The Dragon Prince for this Yakety-Sax pace. This cartoon series serves as a link between the first movie and its sequel ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ which was out in the year 2014. Feel like Ezran ( Sasha Rojen) needed more time to process his grief? No time, gotta go fast! Weirded out by how fast that paralysis subplot got resolved? No time. That cool fight between General Amaya and the Sunfire elf? No time to expand, gotta go fast. The first three episodes of Season 2 feel well-paced, balancing plot with character development, but by the fourth episode, it's as if the show suddenly realized it only has a handful of episodes left to cram in the rest of the narrative, and so the sprint begins. 2021 Maturity Rating: TV-MA 3 Seasons Anime Series. There are so many moving pieces that it feels like the audience doesn't get enough time with any one plot. The Dragon Prince’s second season - which dropped on Netflix in February - shows the strain of a lore-dense show operating under false time constraints. That it is doing so while laboring under Netflix's hard rules about season length is damn near a Peak TV miracle, one that I'm not sure The Dragon Prince can maintain. The fact that The Dragon Prince deals with deep themes on the nature of war, sacrifice, and family in family-friendly 26-minute chunks would be impressive for any animated show. Making new cultures out of thin air is no small feat, especially in a genre that consistently puts out stories with lore books dense enough to collapse matter.
