ドロヘドロ
Hole—a dark, decrepit, and disorderly district where the strong prey on the weak and death is an ordinary occurrence—is all but befitting of the name given to it. A realm separated from law and ethics, it is a testing ground to the magic users who dominate it. As a race occupying the highest rungs of their society, the magic users think of the denizens of Hole as no more than insects. Murdered, mutilated, and made experiments without a second thought, the powerless Hole dwellers litter the halls of Hole's hospital on a daily basis. Possessing free access to and from the cesspool, and with little challenge to their authority, the magic users appear indomitable to most—aside for a few. Caiman, more reptile than man, is one such individual. He hunts them on a heedless quest for answers with only a trusted pair of bayonets and his immunity to magic. Cursed by his appearance and tormented by nightmares, magic users are his only clue to restoring his life to normal. With his biggest obstacle being his stomach, his female companion Nikaidou, who runs the restaurant Hungry Bug, is his greatest ally. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

In short a really fun anime with amusing likable characters with a morbid and dark story with great world building with such detailed and beautiful backgrounds, hats off to studio they really poured a lot effort and it is visible. and the best part is suspense which makes you always sit at the edge of your seat. Every episode harboring a new curse and what's next is DOROHEDORO. The only thing which disappoints is its 12 ep length... I mean why not 24. I hope next season comes early A perfect 9/10 from my side. Watch it for Ebisu, Johnson the cockroach and of course Kikurage. Who doesn'tlike Kikurage?

At the time of writing this review, there hasn’t been confirmation that Dorohedoro is going to be renewed for a second season, which is dependent on the success of the first season. This series deserves a continuation, and it’s disheartening that I feel this series is heavily slept upon by the community by certain circumstances. Dorohedoro has the potential to be one of the top anime of 2020, and I hope I will persuade you guys to give this series a try. Before reviewing Dorohedoro, let’s take a quick detour of setting the stage of what the series is about. In a nutshell, Dorohedoro feels likeif J.K Rowling, (the writer of the Harry Potter franchise) has written a massive magic lore, that expands to the heights of Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings while smoking weed with Happy Tree Friends’ grotesque gore in her tv on. These amalgamation of ideas and aspects, resulted in Dorohedoro having a very unique handling of world building and unique storytelling that makes the audience scratching their heads (in a good way) Now the positives. 1). World building This is the first positives that I want to highlight, because it is truly the star of the show for me. With the aforementioned vast lore of the manga l, the series impressively remained faithful to the source material and how it approaches making an interesting, and dark fantasy world. Unlike any other fantasy world of having excessive exposition to flesh out the world, Dorohedoro does not hold the viewers’ hands on what the hell is going on. Instead treats us smartly and feeding us with bits and pieces of lore throughout each episodes, and trusts the viewers to piece together on how the world works. This is why I mentioned that the viewers will scratch their heads from time to time (I certainly did), but this type of world building is certainly refreshing and makes the world of Dorohedoro alive and it’s own beast. Certainly the world is miss fire, if the characters are not interesting and compelling, however the series does not disappoint. 2). Characters As the world of Dorohedoro being a war between the sorcerers and humans, the characters complement the setting and each have their own conflicts and arcs. Almost all the characters are well-written, that I don’t have anyone that I feel is a bad character. The two protagonists that we mainly follow are Kaiman and Nikaidou, both are very entertaining, and to watch their relationship grow and solve the mysteries of Kaiman’s head. Even characters that us as viewers at first glance, thought that is a one-off character, that is only there to serve the story, subverts our expectations and became mainstays and personal favorites of the fandom, is really impressive. The quote on quote “villains,” which are: En, Shin, Noi, Ebisu, and Fujita are one of the most memorable and lovable characters that I have watched for a while. They are not even villains to be honest, they are just sorcerers that directly conflict the mc. The series flushes out each and everyone’s backstories, leaving no one behind. Why do they do what they do, their motivations for being this way, and making us genuinely care about them. Personally, I love these characters more than the mc, due to how well and memorable these characters interact. How does Johnson, a giant cockroach that is artificially controlled who was only one line, make me care and laugh, is impressive. 3).Fast Pacing/Themes Now this part is weird to put into the positives of a series, but let me explain. Due to the nature of this series being confusing and heavily focused on fleshing out the world, the characters, and the story all in a span of 12 episodes, each episodes feel like a breeze on how the pacing is so fast because it has too much to explore. These are one of the things that people may notice as a negative, because it contributes to the confusing and information overload of the viewers. However I argue that this is directly intentional of the themes and overall style of the series. It wants to make the viewers feel the randomness, and confusion, and openly acknowledges it. Few examples that highlights the randomness of the series, in each ending of the episode, there are some what call backs to information on the episode like “Kaiman is great at playing cards,” and so on. Some are relevant to the story, and some are just for giggles and laughs. Another is the multiple EDs, scattered throughout the series. There are multiple songs that are very fun and banger of a songs. My personal favorite is D.D.D.D. an homage to the classic FPS Doom. Does this make sense narratively? Does En play Doom? I guess not, but it fits well with the random and confusing nature of the series as a whole. 4). The Soundtrack Speaking of songs and osts, the songs are highlights. There isn’t a song that feels weak. It is very punk rock inspired, and are also vastly different tone wise. This is somehow a negative because the score has no cohesion to it, unlike Beastars it has cohesion to the score, but again I argue it’s due to the random theme that Dorohedoro has. Unfortunately, there are flaws to the series that brings this back. And I elaborate I am not a professional writer or animator in the anime industry, I am just one weeb’s opinion that loves the medium. I respect every person working to make this show for us to enjoy. I only give criticisms because I want anime to be the best as it possibly can. Now, going back. 1). The Animation Getting CGI to look this good is an accomplishment in its own right, however just like Beastars, the fight scenes feel clunky at best. That are very obvious. 2). Prioritizing the mc This is sort of a nitpick and does not affect the series as a whole, but because of how lovable the villains are in this series, It felt like the spotlight of the mc had been stolen in a good portion of the run time. Which is a double-edged sword to the quality of character development of the author. Other than that, this is genuinely a great anime that I hope gets renewed to have a second season.

From the second it started it was wierd and I knew I was in for something kinda different. Its grimy, trippy and fun, violent and sorta light hearted. The way the characters look is a little unsettling yet they all maintain a relatable personality. It's a very stylish anime, with the architecture and decor of this world being very detailed. The mushrooms are a stand out. I think the cgi works very well, adding visual dimension to a very dimensional world. I also cant help but gush a bit at the fact this anime includes 2 buff women that arent overly sexualized. Plot wise ittakes a good second to grasp what's happening and what the motivations of all these characters are, but once you do you're IN IT. (Took me till half way through). I'm left with so many questions that I want answered and after each episode in the latter half of the season you get a little bit of information that intrigues you and makes you excited thinking about all the places this could go and how its gonna tie in later etc. Anyways I cant wait for the next season, I had a blast with this. Oh and that opening though❤

Dorohedoro is a one of a kind show and is perfect for people that want a gritty (and very violent) anime. I first got into anime watching the older, more unconventional anime and recently the trend has been towards more toned down anime. Which is expected as anime has really expanded its viewer-base. However, Dorohedoro is a throwback to the old days of more unconventional anime while still bringing a totally unique and engaging story to the table. I cannot stress enough just how unique this show is and it does it in a way that is totally earned. Nothing about this show is cheap.Story 10/10 So this adaptation only covers part of the manga and so far the story has been engaging, unpredictable, totally crazy and entertaining. You cannot ask for more. The best thing is, as somebody that has read the manga, it will only get better. Art 9/10 The CGI is hardly noticeable and the backgrounds are phenomenal. I repeat the backgrounds are phenomenal and really establish the atmosphere of the world of Dorohedoro. The only (very minor) issue is that the CGI takes a bit of getting used to simply because it is not standard in anime. Sound 10/10 The voice actors are all brilliant in acting out the larger than life characters they portray. The music is great. The OP and EDs (of which there are SIX!!!, with a twist on one of them) are great. Overall they knocked it out the park in this department. Characters 10/10 Along with the story, the characters are the best part of Dorohedoro. There is no character that can be pigeon holed. There is no clear distinction between the good guys or the bad guys. The characters themselves have great dynamics and every character, including minor characters, brings something to the show. Along with the story, the best thing about Dorohedoro. enjoyment 10/10 and overall 10/10 This is a one of a kind show that everybody should watch as soon as they get the chance. It truly deserves a sequel to cap off a brilliant first season.
