The question should be more like.. why nobody is talking about DORORO (it's a masterpiece)


I agree, absolutely amazing anime, it's weird that no many people talk about that show.

It shouldn't be surprising. Nobody watches adaptations of old manga, unless they're Jojo or Devilman. Dororo is a boring series that is not worth discussing.

Dororo had some clean animation and it was a really good adaptation

Both are absolute repulsive garbage praised to death by idiots, Vinland Saga has even achieved sacrosanct status somehow. Atleast you can criticize Kimetsu no Yaiba for being shit without getting pitchforks after you.

The vast majority of anime I watch (with some notable exceptions - Kill la Kill = favourite dub) I prefer to watch with Japanese audio and subs. I'm not a "dub hater" or a "sub elitist" or anything like that, it's just my preference.

That said, I've not been able to bring myself to watch Vinland Saga yet because I'm a mythology / feudal history geek and I just can't watch something set in Scandinavia with Japanese audio. It just feels jarring to me. So...I'll probably wait for the dub.

It was almost the same with Appare-Ranman! but I could kinda get past it for that show 'cos even though it was mostly set in America, the main characters were Japanese.

Demon Slayer has the superior visuals.

But Dororo definitely had a better story, characters and writing.

Disclaimer :- I liked Demon Slayer too, just not as much.

English is just as wrong as Japanese for the majority of the cast...

Well I'd prefer it in Norwegian/Danish/Swedish but English is definitely easier to bear. I'm English. The Vikings invaded the county I live in around 860 AD.

Like I said, it's just me, but there's certain settings/themes that shows use that I just cannot watch with a totally thematically out of place audio track. Turns out I also prefer my dark/low/high fantasy fiction to be spoken with a British accent, but my sci-fi/futuristic fiction to be American. Guess it's just what you get used to.

Dororo definitely has none of that.

I rated both as 9, so I have no complaints. Also the the anime only covered the prologue part of the Vinland Saga, it gets better from there.

vinland's story and characters shit infinite rounds around kimetsu, but kimetsu had way better animation.
I loved vinland but with just mediocre art and horrid pacing it was less enjoyable.
