The Dragon Prince

Easily the best fantasy show I've seen in the last 5 years. Fantasy nowadays has taken a way too serious turn in my opinion. The genre forgot to be joyful and a bit childish when it's necessary. That is how the genre works best. It is no wonder that the much needed remedy comes from a cartoon show, but nonetheless this is a must watch if you like the old classic take on the genre, which is: Not too serious, not too dark, but still telling a well written and epic fantasy story.

Two seasons in, The Dragon Prince is brilliant. There are some juvenile moments, but on the whole the plot is engaging and characters have a complexity such that the line between good and evil is blurred. The animation is colourful and clear, and though I've never had any issues the complaints seemed to be resolved after the 1st season. The score is great. Should the show continue down its current path and not (over)indulge in romantic relationships, it will be one of the best of all time.

Seasons 1-4 felt like big progression was being made, but in seasons 5-6 the story slowed down a bit. the world-building and lore was great. my main complaint is how disappointing season 4 was so this deserves an 82/100

Genuinely brilliant with great writing, complex (and awesome!) characters, tons of hell yeah!-moments. To my knowledge completely peerless for that age bracket.

Great voice acting fun story I like it but maybe I’m just autistic

I personally don't mind the animation if the story is entertaining, but even then, it gets better each season. I love the MC couple, Rayllum💙💜. I haven't experienced a couple with that much chemistry between them in a long time. Really sweet! 👍

Incredible. It's a gorgeous show, well-written, with likeable characters, great dialogue and voice acting, often witty with laugh out loud moments. Suitable for both kids and older fantasy lovers. Season 4 and 5 don't maintain the same quality, however.

I wanted to like this. The animation was really pretty good, and there honestly aren't a lot of really solid fantasy cartoons. But they leaned really hard into the social commentary in the second season and I couldn't get through it. I would rather children's entertainment didn't get too political. No luck here. Ranking this based on the enjoyment I had throughout the first season.

season 1, 2 and 3?

Yeah this show is amazing. There are a couple of writing decisions that don't sit well with me, and the animation in season 1 is rough, but the characters are complex, and the show is also surprisingly dark for a "kids show."
