| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Experiments involved with night of the living dead....damn. I like how they show zombies' behaviors exactly as they are, just mindlessly eating. It's quite an intense episode if you also account for the violence and bloood as usual in this show. |
 |
| The CG got better and the directing is strong in this episode. Really digging this series as more episodes get released. The fight scene is pretty great if you ask me, even tho I read ahead in the past few days. MAPPA is doing a killer job here. The special 1 time ed is a banger. 5/5 |
 |
| woah! new ending already?! it's another banger!! this episode was super creepy with the missing kaiman head scene!! the night of the living dead was adapted very well! the background art in this particular episode was stellar! |

| The fight was definitely better in the manga, and I thought the CGI looked weaker here. The OST was absolute fucking killer though and the special ED is cool |
| Fantastic episode, we don't get enough zombies in anime... Ebisu is comedy gold |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| Awesome episode! Shin sure is a tough guy |
 |
| Noi vs Nikaido could have been better if it was more fast paced. Other than that, pretty good series so far. They handled Shin's scenes well and I've always liked the interactions between Noi and En. |
| Poor Ebisu, first she had her face ripped off and now she's a zombie. Really wasn't expecting Nikaido to be a sorcerer! |

Xstasy said: The CGI is still as dreadful as ever. The entire episode reminds me of B level Horror/Slasher movies. Story after 3 episode is still nonsensical, writer is just making things up as he goes along. Speaking of writing the entire thing feels like it's written by 12 year old edgelord. We have characters being beheaded and growing their head back like it's not a big deal, characters being stabbed in the heart and walking it off like nothing happened, ghost stealing heads, zombies, undead, a lot of plot armor, magic being nothing more than a convenient plot device. Like WTF is this a Halloween freak show or something? Plotfags everyone And yes Dorohedoro is a fun and wild ride if you don't like goofy stuff like this just drop it now It is absolutely not edgy either and very lighthearted. Real edgy shit is garbage like Mirai Nikki you know. |
| too much slow mos in the fight |
 |
| well that was nice.... doing all that... I thought she was a sorceress |
 |
| So Nikaidou is a sorcerer. Well, that's interesting. And Ebisu is a zombie now. |
 |
| I was curious to see how they were going to adapt these chapters and I was certainly not disappointed! They're doing such a great job in my opinion. The pacing is solid. The music is awesome too. Also, can't wait for more Ebisu greatness lol |
 |
| Nice to see some zombies, it was good |
 |
| This was a great episode, very well paced, many different things going at once and we get to know better the group of magicians, which imo are the best characters so far. The backgrounds on this anime are very well produced and it promotes the heavy atmosphere the anime got. Weakest point still seems to be character design and the 3D animation but the latter doesn't bother me enough not to enjoy the series, i've seen much worse. 5/5 best episode so far. |
| .Mappa has done a great job with the directing, art, ost voice acting, so they really nailed the atmosphere. I think the pacing could have been done a bit better in this episode. But a minor peeve it is. botomonogatari said: Xstasy said: The CGI is still as dreadful as ever. The entire episode reminds me of B level Horror/Slasher movies.

Like WTF is this a Halloween freak show or something? This take is dreadful. The author is female. Just because something is dark and strange doesn't mean it's "edgy". Some of the best things ever made were made spontaneously, this not being an exception. Yeah, characters came back to life, idk if you noticed, but this story is quite strange, seeing it as simple "plot armor" is foolish. Hate boner is strong, but it's ok, a lot of other people will enjoy this show created with a lot of passion and respect in your stead. God bless you fellow weeb, thank you for your sacrifice in watching this at least 8/10 anime ^.^ PS the CG isn't even that bad, stop being dramatic about it The term "edgelord" or "edgy" has been thrown out so much that it's become utterly meaningless in my view. When a poster throws it around it feels like they ran out of arguments. It's like the term "moe" a decade ago. |

| Ebisu is getting too much torture since the beginning and it's very painful to watch X( Nikaido is a sorceress? That took me by surprise *-* Insane episode! With lots of zombie attack XD Kill and purify them all! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| They actually hinted it previously already, notice that Nikaido is sick in bed while telling Caiman about sorcerers being weak to the rain in Hole. |
| This anime is so ridiculously funny, I love this kind of humour Is Ebisu being bullied the running joke of this anime ? Like a trash/gore version of Aqua ? I mean, we're only at episode 3 and she already got her face ripped off, she was devored alive and died and turned into a zombie That's hilarious |
| That new ED is so fucking good, I'm replaying it non-stop <3 Gotta say, I'm really satisfied with how well they are adapting the manga thus far too. Down to every notch of delivery in both humor and craziness departments (it's basically just as entertaining of a ride as the manga, despite some shortcomings). 5/5 |

| At first, I thought it would be The Purge a la Dorohedoro. But it became Walking Dead. Anyways, that fight between En and Caiman, Noi and Nikaidou was awesome. Although their 3D still has low FPS. But, it's decent. Ebisu became comic relief. Hah I still wonder about that mystery man, is it the sorcerer or Caiman's real human head? I hope the momentum would stay strong. |
 |
| Ebisu is still really funny. I liked the spontaneity of this episode, and the dark humour surrounding the prizes for killing the most undead; it really encapsulates Dorohedoro's tone. |

| Honestly I’ve seen a good amount of people trashing the CG on this episode and series as a whole but in my opinion I don’t really see the big issue with it I thought the fight scene was pretty good but to each their own. Also I hope this series begins to get more hype around it since I truly believe this is a strong contender for AOTS |
 |
| Zombie Ebisu is so funny. I'm really enjoying this show. Can't wait for the next one. |
 |
| Ending in this episode "Night Surfing" is so precious! I can't stop listening to it, damn need to rewatch it again NOW |
| I'm surprised no one went Dead Rising and went riding a shopping cart full of weapons, and just screeching as they kill them zombos. Man, Frank would have loved this event. Getting cool shit for just killing zombos. Zombies, a restaurant owner, a croc-man, sorcerers, and so much craziness/blood, all contained within a shithole. I won't deny, that's an excellent premise. Before the new season aired, I was uncertain bout it, but, It's certainly a show I'll continue to watch. |
| "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. |
| That cute ending song caught me off guard LOL |
| CG physics are still awful, nice. Nikaido's fight looked really off thanks to it. (Jeez, there were some CG shots where body proportions looked really off) This anime's attempt at comedy is dull, it's not even funny. That aside, 3 episodes in, nothing big was revealed yet (Which is understandable, not like an anime will reveal all it's secrets that soon). It was nice to see the main lead get on a fight with the bad guys, which ended up rather weird and leads to many questions. It seems like Imagination is the limit when it comes to Sorcery in this anime, which isn't bad, unless the imagination leads to convenient plot devices and plot armor. |

Honestly if you think the CG is that bad you should give the manga a chance, or just drop it. The production will not suddenly became stellar and the humor is just like that for the rest of the series. |

Don't think I'll touch the manga, thanks for the suggestion tho. |

| Just quit the show at this point if you don't have the patience to not have the entire story spelled out to you in 3 episodes. It absolutely won't be given to you this season. And you're going to have to use your brain to piece it together. If you find it nonsensical you're not going to have it fed to you like a baby so maybe you should move on. The manga is first and foremost a mystery. The mystery of who or what Kaiman is drives the entire story. And in the 167 chapters of the manga that isn't really clarified until 150+ chapters in. It unravels slowly because that's how mystery works. Everything makes sense if you have a brain and patience, and I feel like many early critics have neither. And my god, can people stop using edgy as an insult? Do you realize how stupid you sound? How is being edgy an insult? Like, yeah I'd like the stuff I read or watch to be more bland. As bland as fucking possible please, none of that edgy stuff trying to stand out. Like the 1000+ generic anime/manga that are barely different from one another. If you have a criticism make an attempt to come up with something that is worthwhile instead of using edgy because that's the go to insult that every simple-minded critic/troll out there is using. |
