Dorohedoro

Having read the source material, this is a great adaptation of the manga. When reading the graphic novel it's hard to conceive the black and white illustrations in full color. The stark contrast of bright psychedelic colors of the anime don't diminish the gritty atmosphere created in novel.

There is no protagonist or antagonist in this dark tale of magic and violence. Instead its a pragmatic exploration of unique characters that you will grow to appreciate more as their backgrounds are revealed. Like most unique pieces of story telling it is not for everyone and those looking for traditional plot lines will be confused or frustrated. The story is like an endless rabbit hole, so more mysteries are revealed than are answered. The creators are in on the joke giving you plot reminders at the beginning of the episode like a character's favorite food instead of important plot lines.

It is best watched as a journey into a dark magical violent alternative universe with no destination in sight.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this anime

I think this was the 1st anime that gave me no nonsense or the feeling that i probably didn't get or feel right with something just because im not Japanese or deranged. All characters have their quirks and don't get me wrong... its an insane world, but yet all characters have an incredible "good sense". By this i mean that the character seem to react in a very natural way to every situation.

The story is super interesting from the get go and the art reminded me a lot of Akira so that was an easy win.

Super well paced, awesome fights, awesome animation and above all i always ended every episode with a good feeling.

So good i don't think i wanna spoil the anime with the manga.

Surely one of the most mistreated series of recent years.

How sad it is to see that almost 5 years after the premiere of Dorohedoro we still don't have a season 2.

About the series, not much is revealed, it gets straight to the point, and that is appreciated.

Caiman as the main character and Nikaido as his partner have an incredible chemistry and make this series a delight.

But not only them, because the entire antagonist family is fabulous.

With a violence that is rarely seen, an animation by MAPPA that is always a guarantee and an aesthetic more similar to Hellraiser and the Xenobites than to any other animated thing that has been seen.

The chapters are dynamic, have humor, at times it does not take itself seriously and becomes extremely bizarre. However, this is what makes this series interesting, its characters and the construction of the world. I really hope that 2025 finally brings season 2 and allows us to enjoy this gem that has a lot to offer.

Mappa completely nailed this anime adaptation...the background art looks amazing ...the soundtrack is amazing ...the animation is great..they managed to maintain the creepy tone of the manga

Dorohedoro is bonkers. Brutal, humorous, fun, unique, and willing to take chances. I really hope they continue to make these I haven't read the manga but I might have to after watching this first season. Season 2 please!
