Dorohedoro: Ma no Omake

I quickly became a HUGE Dorohedoro fan soon after the anime launched and was super happy that we would also recieve an OVA months after the season 1 finale. And I gotta say this did not disappoint at all! I love the world and anytime they give us any new information on characters, the culture, and hell even their bedrooms I get super excited! This special gave me all of that! The audience gets to see short bits that widen our perspective on their world and let us in on festivals, pictures, dialogue we may not have ever recieved in the series. So I'mreally happy it let us see the more behind the scenes lives of these characters! The animation is a little choppier than the series but I enjoyed it. Its grittier but not in a bad way imo. Its just less refined, but for me it fit the series quite well. The ED was great, I might be the only one but def give it a watch. I just had a fun time with this special! Its nothing serious at all and holds zero impactful action scenes but god, is it worth it! If you love the series as I do and just want more fun times with these characters definitely give this a shot! <3

On Netflix US all six shorts that make up this OVA are smooshed into one episode. These are not plot-advancing stories, but rather ways to explore the Dorohedoro world and its characters in a lighthearted way. The most disappointing thing about the OVA is that it isn't fully animated. I'm sure the cost for fully animating something like this is pretty high compared to the possible return on investment, so I can't say they made a bad decision, but it is distracting that these shorts are, essentially, a parade of still images. About half the shorts feel like they give some tangible texture to the world andits characters—the one featuring Nikaidou and how she got started in her restaurant especially stands out—while the other half are cute little concepts that are fun for their five-or-so minute duration and then leave the mind (Ebisu trying to get her photo taken). It's very disposable, even with the world/character texture, but for those who've watched through the first season, it's a nice little treat to wind down with, hence the fairly good score for something that is otherwise basically meaningless.

A collection of short animations adapting Q Hayashida's 'Extra Evil' segments at the end of some books/chapters. Basically just lots of humorous vignettes with some worldbuilding. Although many people think the animation style is a bit lacking, as a huge fan of the manga I actually prefer it, as it feels a lot truer to the spirit of Dorohedoro. The stiff movement combined with the composite layered cutout animation captures the crusty, comedic heart of the story and style. Worth the watch if you are a true/diehard fan, but can imagine a lot of passive watchers probably missed it. Would have personally enjoyed if they weretacked onto the ends each of a few of the mainline episodes.
