Lol Kamian should take Nikaidou more seriously. Really someone not to underestimate when she's fighting for someone else.

Pretty cool episode though. I'm quite glad they gave Nikaidou more chance to shine in this finale and the season as a whole. Was fairly entertained by this show overall too.

Honestly, this is one of the surprises of the season. I was expecting senseless violence and gore as a shock factor but they gave me a show with funny comedy, good characters and an interesting world. What I really like is that we have both sides as main characters so that when they face each other, you would not know who to encourage. I could criticize is that it is very confusing at first but I think that the magic of Dorohedoro is realizing how the world works as the plot progresses.

8/10 for the anime.

gotta say, i haven't enjoyed the manga that much, but this adaptation kinda rekindled my interest in it. just really appreciate how much love Mappa poured into this show, with great, fun animation and awesome direction

i kind of had doubts about this adaptation after episode 1, but now i can surely say i prefer the anime over the manga. great stuff

Can’t believe it’s already over...!!! Man they really ended at the perfect point to possibly start up season 2! This concludes the story of Dorohedoro...for now!!! Season 2 is gunna be even crazier then ever! This was a surprisingly faithful adaptation despite all the odds this has managed to meet my expectations and as a huge fan of my manga I’m so happy! What we will learn in the next curse is a mystery....!!

Man this was a fun ride, Mappa did a great job with this adaptation especially the backgrounds even though they skipped some parts of the manga I'm still surprised that they manged to put around 40 chapters of a monthly series in 12 episodes without making it seem weird or rushed.

9/10 for me, hope that we will get a season 2 in the future...

I had no idea what to expect coming into this show but I'm glad I checked it out, it was weird, but the good kind of weird. Even though the story feels like it's all over the place, it still feels natural, if that makes sense. Like, it doesn't feel completely nonsensical. The characters were all great, and I liked the animation (sucks that people probably passed this up because of that alone). With this open ending I really hope we get another season later on.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Everything about this anime was great. It was a thrilling ride with the most bizarre characters and a messed up world. I loved how much of a chaotic mess the entire anime was.

I hope we get a season 2. MAPPA did a great job with this adaptation.

Volume 7, chapter 40. There will be a little bit of overlap for two chapters, but you'll have to check them up anyway for some extra Risu stuff and more.
Also you might as well just read from the beginning to see all the little things that did not make it to the anime (also I belive many will in the end be back in BD short specials).

Is it a necessity tho to read from the start for the story to make sense, or can I just read from 40?

It's not necessary, you can just read from 40.
On a second thought, read 32 first (there is an important revelation there that has not been included in the anime along the whole chapter), then skip to 40 and read from there.

Thank you MAPPA.

You delivered a great adaptation to one of the most original and underrated manga in existence. The passion of the people involved in this project was palpable through the great artistic choices taken throughout the run.

Now all we please, please need is a second season. If a show like Bofuri can get one easily, please let that be the case for Dorohedoro. Everyone that has Netflix, please watch it there and purchase if/when it gets a physical release.

God that was a great ending episode! Ahah, even managed to pull out a 6th ED right at the end! This ep was a super good conclusion for the season, the emotional moments felt heartfelt as hell, the animation had a surprisingly good step up overall and the direction was as solid as ever. Man what a fantastic and fun ride, I enjoyed that WAY more than I was expecting too from the PVs. Genuinely felt like one of the funnest adaptations I've seen in a while, I had a blast all the way through and my enjoyment of the series only grew with every ep. Been a while since I've enjoyed a show that's never left me bored at any moment. Good shit, Mappa, seriously hope this gets a season 2.

Ha, apparently! Also it's mentioned so casually and briefly in episode 1 I didn't even notice it the first time I watched it, lol. I prefer the way it's explained in the manga. Gives the whole thing more gravitas.

Didnt know what to expect going in to it, really enjoyed this anime. I had doubts about the CGI, but I actually dealt with the berserk series ok so compared to that this was great.

Its not pretentious with its edginess, and has fun with the crazy world and setting. Definitely a rule of cool anime, and it works in my opinion.

Gave it 8/10, noticed the ratings spiked since it finished. Assuming we will get more and it wont be just advertising for the manga, with Netflix involved that seems unlikely.

I was really not expecting this show to be what it is.
At first I was kind of skeptical about Dorohedoro because of the gore tag. I'm not much of a fan of gore, but I don't mind it I guess, that's why I still decided to check out this show. The fun cast and interesting world completely blew my expecations.
Easily the best show of the season.

Awesome show! I had zero expectations going in and was completely unfamiliar with the manga and hate CGI so was very skeptical going in to say the least. I'll admit the total confusion in the beginning didn't help but the more I watched the more I loved everything about this show, the characters, art, music, plot and worldbuilding were all amazing. Favorite show of the season by far and one of my favorite all time now too. Really hope a second season is coming, that ending was a perfect set up for more, but if not at least I'll have the manga. At least we know we are getting an OVA, can't wait for that. May just have to splruge for the Blu-rays if that would help get a second season. (doubt we'll ever get them in the US anyway, Netflix shows almost never do)

Thoughts on the episode:
That church art was absolutely beautiful!
The dude who stabbed Nikaido was wearing Caiman's green gloves.
What's the deal with the devils? Hope that's explained further in the story. Right now Asu seems to be a convenient expositionary device.
Did not feel like a last episode of a season. Left the story hanging.

Thoughts on the show:
One of the most creative things I've had the pleasure of seeing lately. My favourite this season by far. Hope season 2 gets announced pretty soon.

Anime of the year most likely ( along with Iruma Kun )

One of the most unique anime I have ever seen in my entire life, The passion and love that was poured into this anime was beyond admirable. The characters each have their own personality that isn't a stereotype/cliche. They each genuinely feel like their own person.

The CG although was jarring at the start, turned out to be executed phenomenally well, up there with Land of the Lustrous and Beastars.

I was begging over and over inside my head the other day that we would get a season 2 announcement at the end of the final episode, but that didn't happen :( I sincerely fucking hope that this gets a season 2 in the near future because this is one of the most enjoyable anime I have ever seen, easily in my top 10

If shit shows like Bofuri get a season two, while near masterpieces like Dorohedoro don't, then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

9/10 anime what a fucking ride !

And this concludes the first season. I am more than satisfied with this adaptation. There were a few scenes cut out here and there but it’s a miracle the anime turned out this good. This was truly a passion project for MAPPA. I hope this show is successful enough to get a second season. I know I’m gonna watch this again on Netflix. Maybe I’ll even have the show play in the background while I do other stuff lol. This show honesty deserves a full adaptation. I hope MAPPA goes that far with it. 10/10 for me.

I agree 100% with everything you said. It was said that there was no other person down there, but Nikaido and Caiman. Still, no big conclusions to this season.
I wanted to give this a perfect score, but it has to be a 9/10 instead.

I couldn't believe it slipped my mind Nikaido was being controlled not by magic but from the contract... I guess this is what I get from not watching this kind of anime?

This anime was crazy in its own level and it was fine :) The ending was actually satisfying. This anime isn't really my taste but it was different from I normally watch, so... 6,5/10
