| Well, this was actually a really good first episode. Introduced the plot and moved things along at a decent pace, conveyed information well without relying on exposition very much at all and was also very visually pleasing despite the dark colour palette. Some good animation in Hyakkimaru's fight against the demon too, and a great OP and excellent ED too. This is definitely looking promising already, that's for certain. |
| Incredible episode, solid production and that OP and ED are amazing, definitely my favorites this season so far. Can't wait for the next episode. |

Daniel_Naumov said: It's the intro for one of the producers: Twin Engine. And lastly Mappa (That was Geno animated intro for Kokkoku, did Mappa trade it? Hmmm), an ambiguous jack-of-all-trades studio. I will always be waiting for a third entry in the Shingeki no Bahamut series, so I am glad they are still kicking AND kicking something good. . |
 |
| That was pretty good! I feel like the make or break for this show is going to be whether the story is interesting or not. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Best premiere episode so far. That was really damn good. Dororo was nice. Glad that a young teen actually voiced Dororo to really sell the kid voice. |
| Great first episode. Also Dororo is hella smug lol |
  |
| 12 demons=12 episodes confirmed? Damn i want more than that, it's pretty good |
 |
| This was a wonderful surprise, I didn't know what to expect going into the series blind, but the story got me hooked quickly. Can't wait for the next episode |
| Great start, definitely need to check out the original manga/anime sometime in the future. |

phantomfandom said: The OP song is fine as I don't want this show to be another Gegege no Kitaro. No offense, I'm just curious, but what do you mean by you don't wan it to be another Gegege no Kitaro because of the OP? Gegege's OP is pretty good? |
 |
| Great first episode. It really set the tone for the anime. I don't know anything about the original or the manga, so it's completely new to me, but the story seems really interesting and unique. Definitely excited to follow Dororo this season. My Anime Blog |

| I first wasn't going to check this anime out because I am not of the samurai stuff, but seeing the high rating after the first episode I gave it a show and What the fuck. In a good sense. |
| i didnt know what to expect from this first episode - i didnt really get my hopes up because usually i dont watch this kind of anime , but honestly this first episode blew me away! got my hopes up for this series now ahaha. interesting concept and well-executed i believe |

| Found my gem of the season it seems. This is great. |
| That was decent. The animation was good for Mappa. I really like this style of anime. |
| Good and interesting episode. The animation is great plus the creepy OST and atmostphere. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| awesome first episode. I really liked how the backgrounds were slightly textured so that it looks like this is an old Japanese painting. |
 |
| Good episode but wtf is this awfull opening |

| I was very into it. It's not only the good production, the action and the story, but the worldbuilding seems seriously fascinating and the way it's paced, the supernatural folklore elements, this felt a lot like watching a classic chambara with a more bombastic directorial style that somehow fits. Whoever thought that opening was a good idea however... why. |
| It's so weird to see Dororo in such a dark style considering the manga looks so cartoonish, but man does it look great. What is with studio Mappa and OP's with English though, the op still looks really nice the song is going to take getting use to though. ED is a bop though, now that's the good stuff. The fight scenes look pretty neat, I can't wait to see the later demons! Hyakkimaru looks so cool, I really like the character designs here. I don't remember any old lady getting killed in the manga, or some strong old guy, pretty sure MC's parents sent him off. Sorta weird how they went straight for the time skip, these changes are going to take a bit to get use to, I mean this manga was only like 19 chapters anyway so makes sense. For my most anticipated original of this year, it's already promising! |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| Had a very good start and the mc is very unique. If they keep this level of quality this might be one of the best anime of the season/year. |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| Wow! o.o This is actually surprised me, the op is different, its style and music give different charisma and I like it. As a first episode, this anime caught my attention easily, I don't remember when was the last time I got caught by the first episode this way.. if it was already completed anime, I am sure I would binge the watch. |
| So, the father thrown into false prophecy. |

| This is off to a spectacular start, great atmosphere and fight choreography combined with an interesting backstory that lends itself well to making me very interested in the protagonist before we even hear him speak. Xae said: fuck yesIf anyone is wondering about the 12 demons = 12 episodes for the series idea, that doesn't seem to be the case. Dororo will be at least 15 episodes long or possibly a 2 cour series. This is because the director of the ED said on twitter that he's working on episode 15. https://mobile.twitter.com/osamukoba/status/1082040974086262784 |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Like many others I'm not feeling the OP, it just doesn't fit the show. That aside Dororo is a cute little rascal, props to the young VA who is doing her voice. |
| Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Finally something good! |
| dis is good, i had high expectations when i saw the pv a while go was not disappointed this has potential to be great this world feels like dark souls in a sense just nothing but suffering |
 |
| Fantastic episode. First of all, what the hell Mappa? That intro caught me crazy off guard. XD Read the synopsis which sounded promising and this was a fantastic start. Might be the best premiere of this season. From what I saw, it seemed like the demons wanted to take the life of both the Lord's wife and his child but the Buddha protected both of them, unfortunately the kid did not come out unscathed. He lost everything but somehow kept his life. I'm genuinely interested in how the kid survived. I wonder if that badass grandpa saved him somehow. I thought that the first heir shown in the beginning was named Dororo and not the orphan it turned out to be. Looks like whenever he defeats a demon, the first heir regains some part of the body. The atmosphere is bleak and dark. Just watching it makes you feel a gloomy. Production seems great, the art and animation were really good especially all the samurai action scenes. Can't wait for more, this might turn out to be really really good. |

| I still find it sad that they didn't use a remix ver of the 1969 op for it, mostly cause the 1969 ver is just a song trash talking on Samurai |
zamandzoe said: Pretty much how I felt too, but the visuals for the OP and the ED in general were great thoughGreat episode. So far, it's easily the most impressive (non-sequel) of the season. There's still a ton left to premiere this week, so we'll see how it holds up. Pros: + Great Premise + Solid Animation + Ending Sequence Was Great Cons: + The OP song was a bit... Odd? It felt a little too "modern" compared to the setting of the show. But this episode flew by so fast for me....I had a damn great time with this one |
| Such a heartbreaking, epic, action packed, great animation and a potentially great story line opening episode. So that is how he will get his body parts by a lightning strike. I think me and this anime are going to get along great, if I rated anime before they end this would be a 9 so far. |
