haoody said: the whole thing - like i said before i'm an old-fashioned bitter old man who digs hand drawn animation. maybe my problem is being so attached to the original '60s version which was so very perfect (why remake perfection). nothing against those who like this style, but i just can't hack it. also, i felt this version lacked the humor of the original and instead focuses only on the brutality and violent side - one of the things i've always loved most about tezuka's works is that he effortlessly combines humor into some really dark stories - more people should check out his manga. there's a reason he's considered the father of modern manga/anime. it's too bad his company has foundered after he left us far too soon.octal9 said: what an absolute abortion - this is true cgi hell! if only a decent studio could have got their hands on this and animated this the way it deserved. i recommend watching the original black and white version done by tezuka productions back when they truly meant something - the company that calls itself "tezuka" these days is but a shadow of a shadow of what it once was. also read the original manga - that is true genius. octal9 said: this - these f@#cking kids wouldn't know real anime if it bit them on the ass. i guess this just further prooves i'm a bitter old man (remember the good ol' days when anime was drawn by real live humans instead of demonic a.i. robots?)...anyways, one more remake to avoid like the plague. kids, listen to me, just watch the original - this ain't worth your time. can you tell me the which part of the episode was the cgi hell? |

| Loving the 1st episode, the animation quality is more than i expected, studio MAPPA nailed it again |
| The animation is good, need to see more to make anything out of the story, but that ending tho. So fucking good. P.S. Dororo's a boy, right? |
 |
| Hyakkimaru has to be one of the most unluckiest person to exist. |

| Not really a fan of how it looks and the song choice for the OP was godawful but overall this episode was great. I felt pretty bad for the mom, excited to see her meet the protag again. |
| I thought this first episode was AMAZING! I'm hooked already with the mystery and dark af atmosphere. I feel like this might be tragically underrated though which usually happens with a lot of great anime |

BackstageMage said: It's so weird to see Dororo in such a dark style considering the manga looks so cartoonish, but man does it look great. Welcome to the world of Osamu Tezuka, where you get some of the most depressing stories with cartoony character designs. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| I have great expectation from this one, the PV & synopsis is super interesting. Love the OP, nice action scene, hope they keep the quality. |
| Honestly, I know nothing about the original source but I want more, this episode was really intriguing and visually interesting. Already fell in love with OP and ED |
 |
| This was more than amazing! The animation was top notch, the VA's stood out and it seems like the story will also be very good with lots of deaths and gore. |
 |
| This works so well with a more modern art style. I especially like Dororo's design, it makes a certain twist later on more believeable compared to the manga. Also really nice background designs! The OP sounds really strange and out of place though. |
| i actually liked the opening (at least the "screaming sound", maybe not so much when he was singing lol) |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Oh yeah this show is gonna be fucking badass |

| BRUH That opening song is 10/10 quality Definitely a serious contender for AOTS, and possible AOTY |
 |
| That kinda blew me away, honestly |
| Gotta say it was worth the hype both op and ed are lit. |
| That's the ending I hope for on a first episode. Didn't gave much info but enough for me to look for the second episode. The fighting scene at the end was great and the premise is quite good too. I wonder if he can actually speak...I hope so. |

Probably based on this story huh. because the game was based on this manga ^^ Ohhhhh now that makes a whole lot of sense. I was seeing so much similarity and was wondering why. EDIT: Sheeeeeet now I know quite a few answers beforehand :( |

| Bloody hell. That was much better than I expected. I love Tezuka and his style of storytelling, but I was wary this story being adapted in 2019. I shouldn't have worried since MAPPA delivered quality once again. |

| I loved it! promising.. |
| Wow, so glad I picked it up. It just ended and ready to a full 25 episodes marathon. Loved it, hope it mantain itself interesting :D |

| For a "modern" reimagining, this was incredibly close to the first TV adaptation! The redesign of Dororo is quite good in evoking his past form. Hyakkimaru on the other hand.. Looks like they reduced the number of body parts to fit a half-length show. A full length one would have been more fitting to celebrate the God of Manga... Also, this dog... I was kind of hoping that it wouldn't be picked up by this adaptation. Was it even in the manga?? Something I found weird was the blind monk in the past, what was that? Was it in the book? o_O 5/5 @CodeBlazeFate I know you didn't have it on your radar so may I point it out for you? @Birdsanddrugs To be fair, the first adaptations (colour pilot, B&W TV series) had quite the action too. @FMMatron Kannst du bitte mir Animation Probleme Beispiele geben? OK.ru hat immer wieder die Auflosung auf die 3DS geändert und deswegen hatte ich oft schw.Bildschirme, deshalb habe ich sie vielleicht verpasst. @AwesomeAlfie27 Where did you get the actor's age? |

| pretty cool so far cmon mappa lets make this show a banger i love when shows are set within the feudal era |
| Does anyone know how old Dororo is? I just finished the first episode and was wondering where I could fit this anime in the MALs 2019 Anime Watching Challenge. There is this item "16. Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is a human child ". But the instructions specify that "the child should be 12 years old or younger (you should be able to find a source for the age; doesn't need to be stated on MAL)" Does anyone know how old Dororo is? And if so, where did you find this information? Thanks in advance! |
| It's going to be one of those anime which people drop like flies. |

And if so, where did you find this information? Thanks in advance! Dororo doesn't really know his age since in the manga he mentions "when I was 5, 6, or 10" when he recalled something from the past, so it's a bit ambiguous. I bet he's around 10 or 11 though, since Hyakkimaru is 16-ish. I dunno if the anime is going to give him a cannon age, so you can just wait and see. |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| Christ. That's a substantial amount of talent exhibited in the first episode. OP staff: Takeshi Koike (Animation direction) and Takafumi Hori did some key animation (Staff that worked on Samurai Champloo.) |

| not particularly promising but I'll keep watching for now |
| Wow Mappa again, nice op for now. |
| I tell you!..this is gonna be one badass show! bow down to MAPPA! 5/5. |
 |
| It's been said by so many already, but the OP just doesn't sound right to me. Other than that I think this was a good first episode. Good enough to get us curious, and looks well directed, choreography was stellar with Hyakkimaru and slashing across that bridge. I've never experienced Dororo at all till now, so people saying it's not as faithful of an adaptation as they'd like doesn't affect me much. |
 |
| This has a very atmospheric feel, everything from the background visuals and the historical ambience. Not a fan of the OP either, a traditional OP would have matched perfectly, love the ED though, amazarashi always put out ear candy. But promising, I'm hoping this to be two-cour? |
| I really loved the first episode; possible AOTS. I actually am enjoying MAPPA’s anime adapatation more than the manga. |
