Oh shit, Kaiman definitely looks ready with all those knives equipped.

The Magic Land speaks for itself with the all the magic users and equipment. I must say, this episode had its unique identity with the rabbit ears gear. Kaiman's got no chill in getting some work done :o

Aww yeah, it's great to see the magic users' world in color and animation. Loved that Burton-esque goth/punk setting.

The part where Shin ripped the heart of that bully was very satisfying I wish the same could happen to all bullies.
So Noi can survive a bullet to the head impressive.
I wonder if she is immortal, nah she probably has some weakness that's gonna be revealed later or not LoL.
Nikaidou decided to storm their stronghold all alone, I can't say that's the best idea considering the last time both of them weren't able to defeat them but hey what do I know maybe she has some trick up her sleeve or something like a plot armor
I wonder how it will turn out.
I like the ED especially that DOOM reference.

Yes! It's great, isn't it. You can really tell that the guys at MAPPA that are adapting this are having a blast when they go out of their way to do stuff like that.

That's the plan as soon as the anime ends



I really like the pacing of the anime and how every single episode reveal important informations. If this was a different anime I would expect some of these to be revealed at the very last arc lol

Really good episode overall! I'll be damned, the art direction for this show is stunning and unlike anything I've seen in years. The Sorcerer's World looks so fucking cool, everything about the world of Dorohedoro so far has been super interesting and I'm loving the characters more and more with every appearance. And that ED, lmao, I wonder if by the end of this season we'll get 6 EDs overall? Really does feel like Mappa are having a ton of fun with this adaptation, the direction has been top notch all the way through and MAN the OST was good today, that guitar theme that played during En's conversation with Risu and Nikaido going about her business was fucking awesome and reminded me a bit of Killer7.

Here's a link to the new ED by the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY3MyHAFc68&feature=emb_title

New ending each 2 episodes is already crazy, especially when they're so good like the 2nd, but Doom gameplay by En in the 3rd one had me dying! I can't believe OST is so good in this adaptation, I also like music that starts when Kaiman is going to chomp on taxi carpet driver's head.

Lmao where the guy got sandwiched with the corpse of his buddy.
I can't stress it enough how much I appreciate the creativity and originality of this series. It's such a breath of fresh in this currently stale anime state.
Edit: I just realized that there is again another ending. It sounds great and what's better it's a fuckin Doom parordy. 10/10 I love this.

Dorohedoro has become my favourite show this season. I love the characters, the mystery and the pace.

This episode cemented how nothing particularly separates Kaiman+Nikaido (our supposed good guys) from En's group (the supposed antagonists) since neither party adheres to concepts of traditional morality. It's all in the perspective.

The ED was fun.

Nikaido is ballsy to go charging into En's place all by herself, and now she's going up against Noi again. I feel like this won't end well.

Caiman in Wonderland. What a wonderful way to put Nikaido and Caiman in a land of sorcerers.

LOLS that bully sandwich, what a good way to hamfist in the harsh realities of the strong and weak.

And also, looks like En's followers (Shin, Noi, Fujita, Ebisu) are in for trouble everywhere, scouting for targets, this time the Cross-Eyed Risu (that both Nikaido and Caiman are finding as well). It's the battle of perspectives.

For Nikaido, helping Caiman out as a friend is a win-win situation: figuring out the man in Caiman, and going straight to En's HQ to scout Kisu to help Caiman.

Wow this upcoming battle will be legendary! Oh, and another new ED, the Doom aesthetics are sweet.

Really starting to like this series, it’s definitely edgey but doesnt take itself seriously and has a really cool aesthetic. Definitely going to end up reading the manga, especially if there are only 12 episodes.

Is anyone thinking the masks and a lot of the look is inspired by slipknot and that kind of early 2000s american goth era?

Oh, the new ED is great!

The author Q Hayashida loves Slipknot, they snuck in one of their album covers in the shot where Fujita and Ebisu are at the CD shop. She also loves DOOM!

Oh, no I meant if the anime only goes for 12 episodes. I feel like it definitely wont be a full adaptation, that would be cool though. I think this anime will just end up an advertisement for the manga.

Actually the anime will get another season if it gets enough support. There was another thread that explained this in more detail.

I doubt it's an advertisement cuz the manga ended around a year ago or maybe more I am not sure.

Also, the director or producer mentioned that if it gained enough support, a second season is likely.

In Japan, I read somewhere that the pre-order sales for the bluray is 4000+, which hopefully is a good sign. Since it's on Netflix, people just watching the whole series is enough.

We’re apparently getting some 5min OVA episodes that will be packed with the bluray.

Amazing episode! It was great to see the sorcerers world in colour. Nikaido definitely knows the in’s and out’s of that world as she is a sorcerer but I don’t think she should have gone to find risu by her self.

I'm quite reluctant to believe there are no good ones on this serie, I thought the magic users were the ones to dislike since they were turning people into chimeras but Nikaido and Kaiman just casually killed a taxi driver and a pawnbroker.

Also whats with the bully thing a lot of posters are getting hot with, if I recall Shin and Noi despise weaklings.

I don't want to be a prude and I'm loving this show but did Caiman and Nikaido just straight up murder the taxi man and shop keeper. I know some of the sorcerers experiment on the Hole's population but is everyone in the magic realm evil?

Was there a justification mentioned earlier or should I just shut up and and enjoy the amoral, senseless pandemonium?

Yup, a lot of Dorohedoro characters look as if taken from Akira universe. In an interview she said she likes Akira among other series, she however hasn't confirmed her work is inspired by Akira but is fairly clear that she might have.
