A classic story of overcoming trauma. Hyakkimaru tries to gain control over his life by slaying his demons, but only succeeding at finding his humanity once he starts connecting with other people. Which makes the titular Dororo so important, as she is his one constant touchstone and also the one who resolves the underlying theme of personal vs societal wellbeing.
Absolutely fantastic visual direction, good fights, pacing flows exceptionally well, great ending. Worth a watch for anyone.
