Shows that feel likeDreamWorks Dragons (2012–2014)

From the creators of "How to Train Your Dragon" comes a new series that takes Hiccup and Toothless to the edge of adventure.

If you loved DreamWorks Dragons, the closest series we have are Fairy Tail (2009), High School DxD (2012) and Limitless (2015). All three share DreamWorks Dragons' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is No Game No Life (2014).
