I like the new dragons, I like the fact Toothless's plasma blast can act as a projector and I like the fact all the episodes will be out on the same day... which is June 26

Dragons, yeah!!!

I'll have to cram as many episodes as possible in on the 26th because I leave for Louisiana for a week the next day.

Looks like about a 6 hour marathon for me.

I can't wait!

Well, the CGI's taken a step up, by the looks of it. That's definitely a plus.

The Dragon's Eye appears to serve the basic plot function of directing the characters from one episode's plot to another. So, for example, the Eye shows them something, with a solid hint as to where it is, so they go to place x, plot happens, then the Eye shows them something else. I wouldn't say that "this changes everything", but it's a solid enough plot mechanic. Oddly, the current season of My Little Pony has an object with a similar purpose. It's an odd coincidence that both the cartoon series I currently follow have similar plot devices.

Otherwise, there's really not enough for me to form any solid theories.

I concur that the animation seems to have improved a bit.

Even though the teases we've been given so far aren't all that much, I'm already wondering how the plot surrounding the Dragon Eye will be resolved within the already established universe. All the press material is really hyping it up as some ultra-significant thing, yet it wasn't even mentioned in passing a mere year later in HTTYD 2. I'll be interested to see how that works.

So it's called Dragon Eye, interesting

Hmm.... The Cutie Map..... Dragon Eye....... How about some crossover

And also, Berk is looking..... different? I remember that Berk has those 2 giant statue, but I didn't see it in the trailer. And an island that looks like flipped D that shown at both movie intro.

Awesome seems like there's been a definite quality improvement all around from CGI to plot and story. Can't wait to check it out and see what all this is about concerning the dragon eye.

It's an interesting idea, the easiest way/ways would be for it to be lost or destroyed. Doesn't mean that's what they'll do but it's what would come to mind first. I'm also a little curious as to if having the second movie be out already and covering the year leading up to it. Gives them more freedom on what they're able to do. Considering we knew the first two seasons were somewhat/very hamstrung on what they were and weren't able to show since the second movie hadn't been released by then.

81 Days till Race to the Edge. No biggie!
