| Liked it, especially the backgrounds. |
| So actually decent pretentious edgy stuff the animation? Interesting |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Reading the manga right now, the cgi just doesn't fit in. Doesn't give the same atmosphere as the manga. Not going to waste time on the anime, just complete the manga |

| Pretty decent start for a 1st episode. Does a satisfactory job of capturing the manga's ambiance. That said, I don't like the CG for Kaiman's head. It just feel so out of place compared to the background and what not. Could have at least use some ufotable style shading/filters for his head. |
| Well... that certainly misled me for the first minute. Then again, people with masks over their eyes are definitely not good. While being misled and that OP being pretty trippy... I've got a feeling this is going to be a good one. So far it's interesting. Also, "getting in a way of a croc-man's food" certainly seems top contender for dying in a miserable fashion after being insulted twice. Certainly like the main two, and the style of sorcerer this is painting certainly seems interesting; a direct contrast from The Hole. Heck, from being in the mouth to seeing another definition of Face/Off to blood puke to the main two not being the traditional sense of "good", I like the type of gritty this show is going with. I'll certainly keep watching it. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Ugh, the combination of 2D and CGI is very off putting it ends up being disgusting at times. No matter how polished your CG texture is, if your physics are trash, the animation is trash. The plot seems interesting enough tho, so I'm going to stick to the ride. |

| Ok, that was pretty weird but I really liked it. I thought this would be bad I'm glad it was quite violent. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I didn't know this piece of art until now. The only reason I watched it is because seinen and horror are usually great genres so I figured I should give it a try. Glad I did. Great job by MAPPA so far. |
| Well i guess this is different,i like that the two mc aren't necessarily good guys,there's a big grey area around this anime,even the magicians doesn't seem that evil. The 3d was pure ass like i expected but the 2d chara design looks kind of nice(Nikaido looks like Thorfinn's sister or idk ) Not particulary hyped about this show but i'll keep watching for sure. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Just as expected, the anime adaptation makes at least way more sense than the convoluted manga. Wasnt planning to give it a chance at first, but I guess I,'ll give it a try. |
| :v |

FuMomo-kun said: I had been wanting to read its manga for around two years, but I kept procrastinating and now it's already an anime. lol. Despite the messy and boring setting, the story and the characters really make this enjoyable. Caimon is oddly cute despite looking the way he does. Read the manga. It's amazing and and doesn't have low FPS CGI that hurts your eyes. |
| I am better than you. |
| japanese cg is awful...but i kinda forgot bout all that shit cuz of the nostalgic feelin. i still feel like the manga deserved a proper adaptation but i guess this is not that bad |

Interesting I CAN'T EVEN HAHAHAHA, SAYING THIS WITH AN AJIN PROFILE PICTURE... the ajin protagonist is literally clinically dagnoised psychopath, and villain goes around killing people for fun in the most brutal way possible for lulz, literally edgelord supreme the anime i don't actually dislike ajin but its hilarious that you call this pretentious edgy stuff, do you not get what edgy means? ' "man look at saitama, what an edgelord. doreomon is such an edgy bastard am i right" The fact that you took probably about 5 minutes or so to quote me and try to... I guess bust a joke on me by analyzing my sarcastic post in order to... honestly I don't care what your motivation was for doing it in order to prove some random point is only making me laugh. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I just had to read some of the comments for this episode because I knew there were going to be those people who are extremely allergic to CGI in anime and I wanted a good laugh from reading their comments. As for the episode, I don't know what the fuck I just watched, but I'm intrigued. |

' "man look at saitama, what an edgelord. doreomon is such an edgy bastard am i right" You have a point. The terms "edgy" or "edgelord" have become so overused around these parts that they have almost lost their meaning. Dorohedoro is actually the opposite of edgy, it's a blunt, nebulous story and Kaiman it's main character is far removed from the edgy stereotype with his his boisterous, unrefined ways. People mostly throw this around when describing seinen stories now. |

| It’s an intriguing first episode, I’m curios for what’s coming. |
 |
| Mappa as always a great studio. Dororo, Ushio to Tora, Shingeki no bahamut, Yuri on ice..and Garo! I think I'm gonna be following everything they do from now on. |
 |
| This show has messed up morality, and with how the humor is incorporated too. But I don't dislike it. |
| This was awesome. So much stuff happening in a single episode, and yet it didn't feel rushed at all. A lot of information about the world and characters without a drop of exposition. Great way of starting a series. I especially liked this "realistic" take on wizards living in the same world as regular people. Why would superpowerful beings hide themselves from the world as if they were pariahs (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, etc) when they could rule as Gods? The answer is they wouldn't. Also liked how they mixed this horrible, grotesque reality with humor. Kind of reminds me of Kekkai Sensen in that. |
BitterBones said: This show has messed up morality, and with how the humor is incorporated too. But I don't dislike it. kinda where am at it's like a much more fucked up Kekkai Sensen not sure how to feel about it. show seems very strange but that and people saying it would be impossible to do a adaptation of it was all i knew, i came out thinking maybe i should just read it? the art is just wild and it's hard to think of a studio being able to do that much detail (really do love the char designs though) |
 |
| This concept is so interesting. That broken dystopia called Hole they live in. So many questions that needs answers. What's with the sorcerers and their roles? Who is that man inside of him? Who he really is? The explicit gore in this anime is really no-holds-barred, even that girl's skin that got ripped off. The only downisde of this anime is its 3D Animation. Its off, choppy, and just bad. But, that doesn't matter to me. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| I started the manga a few days after I saw the announcement for this and finished it a few months and now that the first episode is out, it's pretty good so far. The opening is surreally awesome and is easily my favorite part of the show along with the god-tier background design. I do not mind the 3DCG models that much but seeing everything else look so great in 2D kinda makes me wish that they could've considered going all in at the production process. Ebisu's screams of agony made that scene where she was getting her face ripped off a lot more horrifying than ever before and I felt really sorry for her. Shin and Noi making a very aggressive appearance in the last scene was great too. I'm looking forward to delve in more into the chaotic shambles that is Dorohedoro! |

| Love it, love it. The CGI will take some getting used to, but the overall package delivers what the manga is about. MAL is gonna hate this, lol. |
| Mappa screwed the pooch by putting shitty looking CGI right in the first few goddamn seconds. Almost dropped it. Then the cute skeleton tomboy loli got her face ripped off. What the fuck. What a waste. I am mad. |
| I enjoy the hyper competent blonde a lot more than the lizard dude. She kicks people in the face and breaks hands. He screams constantly like a hyperactive toddler and is just plain invincible to everything so far. That's literally his power. It was an okay episode in that the exposition on the overly complicated setting was at least not things patently obvious to everybody, but it definitely could/should have framed itself around the monster wizard of the week. Or just not had him there at all since it was introduced and then wrapped up in about two minutes before going "Anyway, back to the main plot." Except there were still like five minutes left in the episode, enough time for prophetic dreams and mugging some poor random Team Skull member. |
Phlaryx said: Yes, actually it can and has been done. Look at some of the older Bones or Madhouse stuff. Even stuff like TTGL utilized some of that sketchy style, just brighter than Dorohedoro. Hell, even if it's CG, they could at least put more effort into Kaiman's head. Look at ufotable's stuff like Kimetsu no Yaiba. It's CG as well and yet it's getting praised. Same goes for other ufo works like God Eater and Tales of Tales of Zestiria; also CG but it actually looks good. Turns out people praise things when it's done well and criticize when it isn't. Just because you don't give a shit doesn't mean you can assume that people hate on things just because it's CG. Yes, things like the backgrounds are fine but Kaiman, aka the main character aka the one you'll be seeing and focusing on most of the time certainly deserves more details than that. If anything, your kind of attitude is why they can just go, well people will lap it up anyway, so why do better.You think they’ll be able to replicate that sketchy stillness of the manga? Hell no! |

| Some questionable CGI here and there aside, the first episode looked great! Nothing was cut or rushed, the atmosphere is there and I absolutely love the music. We should be greatful we are getting a Dorohedoro anime at all, the manga is awesome, but also quite niche all things considered.

He's not really invincible to everything, just to direct magic manipulations. |

| Decent start 4/5 for me. Was looking forward to this anime, heard great things of the manga through the years but after watching the first episode I'm honestly not that fulfilled or hyped as i expected to be, maybe my expectations is playing me a bad turn. Don't get me wrong i enjoyed the episode but i felt like i was watching the 3rd episode of the series, i didn't find it to be that solid of a introduction "pilot" episode, it didn't feel that much like the start of a story but then the style is supposed to be wacky and non conventional so i guess we cant expect it to have a traditional structure. I will definitely keep watching though. |
