Rude.
I don't see a lot of work and care though, at least not yet.
Dororo, as a manga, means a lot to me, so i will be as picky as possible, because you don't just hype a person up and then let him down the cliff.
You enjoyed it, i didn't, whatever.

I think they just took in consideration that the way of storytelling changed over the last decades and tbh, if I see the old character designs, I think the new ones look so much better too.

What else is different?
Well, I understand it very well, if you love a manga and they change things.

Now I'm getting curious about that guy. I just heard of Jungle Taitai but didn't see it and he's also listed as the original creator of Metropolis and well, loved that movie.

Tezuka? He's pretty much the guy who kicked off manga in japan.
Not that big of a fan of his stuff tbh, but we wouldn't have much of the manga we do today without him.

Well, I knew that or heard it at some point, but then I didn't care about him anymore until now.

Colors, style, and OP reminds of Angolomois without filters.
Boogiemonster bridge fight amazingly choreographed & animated. Good moody sounds. The rest were ok.

OP and ED are very good. The animation is decent, but I really like the style of the scenarios where the story unfolds. Being an original work of Tezuka, I should read the manga in conjunction with the anime.

Amazing first episode. I watched it four times already lol I'll continue rewatching it and every succeeding episode because it's already an epic start. I love the OP and the characters. It is a combination of Tezuka Osamu's style with a modern twist that blends everything so well.

It's already one of my favorites for this season based on the first episode alone. I think it's a dark horse considering it's being aired along with Mob Psycho 100, Yakusoku no Neverland and Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari which are all quite popular.

I don't really get it why everyone is prasing this show. I may watch the second episode, but this first was actually quite boring


Its called a beginning. You won't find a climax in the first episode and if they want to have a buildup then you have to watch from start to finish. Besides, the first couple of episodes are mostly just setting the scene and giving the most important characters and first impressions. It's like what every anime does, but some shows that are great have a rather mediocre percepted start, for the blind eye...

One episode in and this show is already straight fire.

I love any great samurai story and Dororo is indeed great. From the animation, to the OST, to the characters, I love everything about it so far.

The lord was utter trash to be quite honest. Gave a terrible fate to his newborn son for his own greed, causing him to lose nearly his whole body as part of some deal with a bunch of demons. He didn’t even seem to care when he saw the babies bloodied body and told his wife to hurry and pop out another one.

Dororo is a cutie. He has such a cute voice! And I like that he never gave in to those awful thugs. That was pretty low of them to try and drown a child like that.

Hyakkimaru popped in and showed how awesome he was. Dude’s whole body is a weapon. He managed to kill a demon and after 16 long years, got his skin back. I wonder what he’ll be getting back next?

This is super interesting. Tezuka's works never fail to grab me and capture my interest.
The adaptation is pretty nice, too. it's gore-y and explicit without being edgy.

Also, the opening SLAPS! -even though it's a pretty odd choice for a historical anime, it somehow still manage to feel appropriate.

I thought that he was the kid and that we would see him grow but he is already an adult/teen.

Not sure using a child actor for Dororo was the right choice. In some roles it works, but here maybe they needed an actor that could do expressive and outgoing acting well.

So much style, I liked it

Oh my goodness, that was almost completely different from the original work. Daigo is not even close to the asshole he was, Dororo is less agressive and Hyakkimaru was exposed right on the start. So it looks like it will be a rereading with some twists, rather than a remake

So Dororo is the kid. Hyakkumaru looked creepy af when he was born, how the hell did he survive??

It was fun enough. Not really a fan of the op and ed though.

third time watching this and it's pretty good since the first.
i laughed reading all the comments about the opening. i first thought it was a super weird song at first and didn't really liked it, now it's probably my favourite op in a long long time. don't really care about the ed, though. i never seem to like amazarashi anyway.
didn't know dororo's seiyuu was actually a kid, but i do think she does a pretty good job here. the character is so adorable. <3

and the op sequence is hilarious. i'm gonna miss it.

Interesting stuff, the premise is really great, although I wish he spoke, maybe he could just not confident enough to.
Looks like it is going to be a story of revenge and redemption, it took me off guard that the little dude is called Dororo and not the 16 years old doll guy, the little brat looks like a normal sidekick, probably he is the real protagonist under all of this. Who knows?!

Daigo-dono is despicable. After offering his child to the demons like that, the least he could've done was to man up, accept what happened to his son and raise him regardless of how abominable he looked like since it's his fault that he looks that way. He threw away the kid while thinking he's so smart and the boy ended up going on a quest to slay the demons that made his life a hellish struggle sixteen years later.

It's a miracle that Hyakkimaru found someone who's able to make him a makeshift body and it's a miracle for Dororo that the guy's lurking around while he was getting killed by the thugs. He got his face back and that's nice.

Very good first episode. The old version handled better certain aspects, namely Dororo's kindhearted personality through the death of the monk and denouncing the grim setting in the scene where she hides among the rotting bodies. There was more subtlety and nuance to those. The dog in the new one is a way to reveal that trait in a more gratuitous manner. Aside from those, I think the new one improved on every aspect possible, with amazing art direction and splendid animation. I like how they handled the initial scene, it made much more sense than the original. They were also careful in presenting the protagonist in a senseful manner. Gorgeous opening by the master Koike himself. Overall solid and promising.

So much bland, braindead, bullshit exposition. Is this really by the guy who directed the Rurouni Kenshin OVA series?

And that cringeworthy opening. What's with all these newer "historical" anime using garbage Engrish and trendy songs, instead of music genres that don't sound out of place for the setting and period? Are they really that desperate to sell those shitty singles?

Weird that I felt bad for the thug, Dororo is really a douchebag this episode.

So Hyakkimaru decided to slay the monster just after it's going to eat Dororo, how convenient...

Great to see this classic having a remake since I wasn't willing to watch the old original.

I hope it's somewhat of a complete adaptation because I remember it supposedly being 48 demons and not 12 but we'll see. Time to gather the body parts!

That was good. So far the MAL rating seems accurate.

This will be interesting if the MC mostly doesn't speak and that thief kid does all the talking. I didn't even realize the thief child was the actual Dororo and not the guy fighting the demons (I don't like to read too much about shows before I watch them haha).
