I think that the opening doesn't fit with the show.

About the episode, I like it.

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.

well actually a lot of people use Amazon for anime.
naah mate that's real unlikely most people watch it from pirated sites.

Well a lot of people have prime anyway so why not.. I have amazon prime so I might as well support the series by watching it on amazon.

i donot like the first episode much , it has been spoiled much events or the main events in anime .
He was created without eyes, ears, skin, hands and there is much parts .
In last minute of Ep 1 , his face skin has appeared after he kill the demon on the river and Daijo found one of demons statue has broken .
so, the anime is journey of someone search for his parts by fighting with demons .
this anime is not good enough to get 8.5 (it will decrease by the time ).
So story is obvious and all episodes are like a fan service of adventure and action. I hope that i am wrong.

Interesting start. The main plot was set and the action sequences were really good as well.

The OP is nice although not the best one from this season, for me at least.

The only little thing I'm not that convinced is Dororo's voice. I know it's common for kids in anime to be voiced by women but he sounds way too feminine for my taste. He's a boy, right?

That aside, this show looks very promising.

There’s a reveal at the end of the manga about their gender. I read the liscensed versionーI’m not sure if the fan-translation made it clear or notーbut it was a big plot twist in the three volume Vertical release.

Thought it was terribly disappointing, even compared to the live action film. Animation quality was shabby, much prefer the 1969 original. I'll give 2nd episode a go but... I'm not hopeful.

Wow!
Haven't touched the manga or the old anime before, but this series is already very engaging.
Spectacular OP and ED songs from the artists who also did some Tokyo Ghoul's great theme songs. Overall, really promising.
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/

I find it a shame many people nowadays don't care about great classics. They're too overhyped over action and otherwise trashy shows.
it think not because this show caught a lot of attention. Normies will watch it anyway for the fight scene. The real classic anime that were underrated is Megalo Box because normies can't understand the deep story telling and the 90's anime art style

Is it strongly plot-related or did Dororo tell this lie to feel safer as a boy than a girl all alone or something?

Like Tezuka’s other notorious series, Princess Knight, the concealment of gender is used as a means of protection.

As a REALLY big fan of the original, i was hyped.
And then i watched it and was severely disappointed.
The OP song is pure garbage (but the visuals ARE very good, yes).
They made the father a bit less of a dick.
Only 12 demons instead of 48, i guess just because they had to fit it all in one seasons.
Some random midwife that send Hyakki down the river and dies instead of the father, plus some random blind monk.
TIME SKIP 16 YEARS LATER IS A COMPLETE JOKE, first few chapters where we learn about the doctor and Hyakki's childhood and his motive to go travel and kill demons is completely skipped, i can only hope that it will be revealed later on.

I now expect nothing from the new adaptation, and i was really hyped.
Not even because i am a big fan, but because Dororo was never finished, so i watch every adaptation for the ending, what will they do now, what they will come up with.
I guess i'll have to suffer through a mediocre, disappointing adaptation for the sake of the ending.
But thou must.

The series is probably 2-cours, at least more than 15 episodes.
Tons of people like the op, dont really see a problem.
We are 100% gonna learn about hyakki's relationships, including his childhood ones.
Don't see a problem with the guy in the hall of hell, honestly the rest of what you said were minor nitpicks at best.

All I want to say is that it was a lot better than I thought it would be.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.

I don't think they will skip his past. They might thought that they are better showing Dororo in this episode too and let them meet each other.
If they had shown his past, they wouldn't have had time to show Dororo or it would have been rushed. It's smarter to show your title character in the first episode (I mean, Dororo is the title character, you should see that kid) and maybe make one or more flashbacks about your other main character's past, imo.

Great first episode. I knew nothing about this going in other than that it was adapted from a 60's manga and I really enjoyed it. The song in the OP was really good with the mix of modern instruments and classic Japanese ones, but the lyrics and vocals seemed out of place. Regardless, I think they did a great job adapting and modernizing this, and I'm very interested to see where it goes.
I read some of the manga after watching to see how different it is, and I thought the changes were well done, especially how they made Hyakkimaru silent. In the manga he seemed way too animated for having fake eyes and face, but I hope they'll give him a voice eventually. Maybe I'm just not used to manga from that time, but it didn't really hook me like the anime did, so I'll probably just wait on that to get the rest of the story.
Also I hope they explore his past soon. I could see why they didn't include it in episode 1 though, they wanted to show off Hyakkimaru and his skills to hook people, so maybe we'll get some past flashbacks in the next few episodes.

Tell me where the new dororo adaptation hurt you. I sure hope they didnt forcefully stuck a giant vibrator into your ass, because thats what it looks like from your reaction.

This is great, you can see a lot of work and care was put into it, go watch berkser 2017 if you want to see someone actualy fucking up hard the source material.

I don't see a lot of work and care though, at least not yet.
Dororo, as a manga, means a lot to me, so i will be as picky as possible, because you don't just hype a person up and then let him down the cliff.
You enjoyed it, i didn't, whatever.

This is not an insult but Dororo is not Tezuka's masterpiece at least.
It is one of a few Tezuka's manga I actually bought a physical copy.
I like it pretty much but, from a historical viewpoint, it couldn't achieve popularity and a proper conclusion.
It was shutdown in Shonen Sunday and Tezuka himself rebooted it in Boken-Oh with a different premise.
It is not "you can't change something already perfect" type of thing. Tezuka desperately tried to catch up with new manga stars in those days. Failed but charming attempt. His new style was completed in the later works like Ayako or Kirihito Sanka after his darkest age in the early 70s.
Changing and deleting some aspects are quite understandable considering all those background. The storytelling style of the original manga is inevitably outdated anyway.
