| I never watched the first adaptation of this chapter but this seemed rather succinct and empty. 3/5 @lelouch0102 He was raised (and found) by the man you saw in both episodes, he gave him his prosthetics. |

| This is definitely gonna be a contender for one of the best shows of the year if it continues to keep this up for a whole two-cour. |

| I don't have any experience with this franchise apart from this anime, but I am loving it. By the sounds of this thread there are a few adaptations across various media platforms...does anyone think I need to try the manga or movie for instance to provide more context or is this all stand-alone? |
| Can I offer you an egg is this trying time? |

| Damn, I love these old-schooled anime with this kind of vibes. I love also the characters, especially Hyakkimaru. Can't wait for 3rd episode. Guess I'm going to watch the old, too. |
| Oh man, they should just do two episodes per week *-* Probably going to check out the movie and the manga if I can. Do you guys know how many episodes they are planning? It seems the kinda of anime to get a two cour, but I wouldn't know. Also loving the opening now lol |
 |
| I'm just worried that if Hyakkimaru regains his sight/senses, he'll lose the soul sight. |
 "Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering." |
| Wow, really impressed by the first 2 episodes so far! Is Dororo a boy or a girl? |

| I havent read the manga but as a viewer who hasnt i really loved the episode . Generally the aesthetic of the old Japan and demons its my favourite . I will surely read the manga but before that i will appreciate this masterpiece |
 |
| This is amazing, reminding me of Mushishi and House of Five Leaves so far but with its own uniqueness. |
| Another great episode! We learn that Hyakkimaru may be blind but he can see the color of ones soul, letting him know if they are a threat or not. This is how he knows when demons are around. The blind man is pretty cool as well. He definitely seemed to help Dororo understand Hyakkimaru a bit more. Those villagers were pretty trash. They kept luring in travelers and feeding them to a demon because it got them money. Of course, Hyakkimaru took care of this demon and the episode ends with him getting something else back. I guess it was something to do with his nervous system? |
| It's funny when the ghost said "You want it ?" and then Dororo reacted with "Look, he said he want to fight !", lol ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| I think that this episode was better than the first. First half was very boring. The second half was very interesting. The episode was ok, a bit predictable...Bandai being a demon wasn't really surprising but the gold monster being a haunting spirit was a good twist. So, in the last scene Hiakkimaru gets back a part of him that was taken by the demons. Good. The old man seems to be nice. I hope that the writers don't kill him. |

However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Okay Im sold on this anime, I feel MAPPA knows what its doing with this anime. Dont know anything about the manga but I really enjoy it so far. Kotoni__ said: The blind man is pretty cool as well. He definitely seemed to help Dororo understand Hyakkimaru a bit more. I agree with you both, he seems pretty cool and knowledgeable. The dynamic between the three is really good. |
| So far this show is amazing. I hope he recovers his voice. |
| Yet another chapter SEVERELY modified. This is being a whole new experience to me, even having read and watched the original |
| Man, the opening song is so good, I thought it was mediocre at first, but then I went ahead on a replaying streak for almost half an hour and totally forgot about watching the episode. I like how we managed to learn a lot about Hyakkimaru in this episode, this old man might become a great ally, I hope he sticks by for more. Those were some concerning details that Dororo let out about his Mama, there might be an arc around that soon in the future, or maybe, because the show has his name as the title, it could be the entire story instead. Good to know that Hyakkimaru is not alone, but I wonder, why couldn't he speak? Or maybe even hear? The old man seemed fine so it's not about how he was born or anything, and I'd assume that the old dude had the same life too. |
| I like the dynamic between Hyakkimaru and Dororo. The kid's really friendly and patient towards him while the guy accepts his companionship and protects him from time to time. It's definitely never a boring time with Hyakki because there're demons to slay and fish to fry all the time. It just goes for show that not being able to see physically makes you able to see things for what they really are. There's no use tricking eyes that can look right at the soul and they've proven that with Bandai. It's no good of the villagers to use that fearful situation to their advantage by offering travellers out of greed. Bandai might be gone but the guilt that comes with the first victim's bell will last as long as they live. I wonder exactly what body part Hyakkimaru got back. They showed his skeleton but it's rather vague. |
 |
| So that sludge monster he killed in the first episode brought his face back and now he got his body and limbs back because he killed Bandai? |
 |
| Another great episode. Looks likes Hyakkimaru got something back. |
 |
| What an awful village. I hope he gets his tongue back soon, it's awkward being all silent like that. |
 |
| Guess we can't be fooled by appearences =v= at least Hyakkimaru knew right away she wasn't normal. The villagers were a bunch of cowards! I felt bad for the travellers who got tricked and lost their lives :( Great episode! People chill! Dororo's voice is not so bad! I heard a lot worse voices when it comes to children characters. |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| So each Demon he kills restores his limbs? I guess that mean the one in episode 1 was his first kill or that he just happened to kill one that was connected to the deal. |
 |
| So Hyakimarru entity that had a red aura, but the green aura is still a mystery. You want? The explanation? lol. Lol at people who still question Hyakkimaru gender, clearly this episode showed his body. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| This was really cool! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
I'm watching the 2nd episode now and there's something that's been bothering me since the first episode and is this: The studio that made this anime are not even bothering drawing a proper feet, their feet looks like crap, they look like fucking camel's hooves instead. This anime will lose some points on me because of that so if the anime ends up being a 10/10 I will have to lower it to 8/10. I just can't take an anime that seriously if they don't even bother drawing proper feet. Let's see how this goes. Edit: Also, how is the guy even able to grab that fish afterwards if he has no hands? they are just prosthetic hands. I know I shouldn't been looking for logic in animes but I wish they at least try to put a bit of logic in those type of issues. |

| Dororo learnt something new here about seeing the soul and Hyakkimaru's name. I hope the old man accompanies them on their journey because it kinda gets lonely with only Dororo talking. So from Hyakkimaru's dad side I gues for every demon that is defeated, bad luck will befall upon his lands. |
 |
| The supernatural stuff throws me off a bit. But fun episode. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I like how Hiakkimaru did not wait for her to finish speaking, just straight attack :D jeez it's desperating... that's so common on anime fights hahaha talking alot when in danger |

| Nice, this is getting interesting. I like that old /historical vibe I'm getting out of this anime. |

| Oh... Hyakkimaru finally told Dororo his name. And, we got to see some more action in this episode. The old man is here as well. |
 |
| So as he kills these demons he's slowly claiming back what they stole from him as a child. The premise is cool and I like Hyakimaru's design |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| I enjoyed how the narrator explained how Hyakkimaru perceive things. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| This episode was awesome!!! Hyakkimaru and Dororo are one interesting duo alright!!! |
| Pretty standard early Shonen episode feels more like something you would see from the OG anime. |
 |
| dororo is too peak man |
