| So Hyakkimaru is Daredevil without hearing but can see souls...Does he have a sense of taste though? I wonder how Hyakkimaru learned how to write... Loving the old school animation. And seeing how Hyakkimaru reacts to people is going to be great to see in this series to know who is a threat and who is not. And Hyakkimaru gains a new part of his body every time he slays a demon. The question though is what part of him will he receive last? His vocal chords or his sense of sight? Don't spoil me Dororo readers! |

| I really like overall vibe and feelings in the series,but story-wise i see lots of plot holes in it! well he lost his organs(48 org in manga) and yet he lives!, ok that must be sort of a magic! but why and how was he eating food? how does he move his hands? not the sword part but fingers? whats up with this demons? they were strong and magical enough to save a village from starvation ,war diseases Drought! and yet they r so weak and an organ-less boy kills them so ezly? |

| Great episode yet again, I’m really liking the approach to this show by Studio MAPPA so far! Classical soundtracks and that archaic but gold animation quality is absolutely amazing! Seeing more liveliness from Dororo was nice to watch but sadly Hyakkumaru can’t interact with him/her. We, also, get to meet the old blind monk again and he’s pretty cool so far. More importantly, Hyakkurmaru has now regained back his backbone, or so by the looks of it, but why exactly the pain. Moreover, considering how the monk reacted, I’m sure there’s more to it that I’m looking forward to know in the coming episodes. It was very obvious that the chief would be the demon, thanks to the narrator early on and Hyakkumaru’s actions, but I certainly thought the being with the huge head would’ve played a bigger role during the fight than just acting as a diversion there. Got to say though, the demon was really weak. When she came back to her original form and was about to unleash something, I for sure expected a transformation into a more hideous appearance. She seemed to know a bit about Hyakkumaru too and one of the statues in the Hall of Hell game crashing down, so surely she must have been one of the twelve. I wonder if the demon from the last episode was among the twelve too or was Dororo’s thinking there just a little throw off. Definitely looking forward to more of this and hoping it retains its excellence throughout! |

| Hyakamaru recovering facing off demons. |
| The opening them doesn't match the series at all and I'm not a fan of the ending theme either but the anime itself seems really interesting so far. |

| Nice episode. They slayed another monster. I'm guessing he's getting back his nervous system or maybe body skins. Anyway I think it's about time to update the character image in DB. |
 |
Yep nothing wrong. I don't think they were that far apart though |

Hatsuyuki said: phantomfandom said: Not sure if underlying romantic tension between Hyakkimaru and Dororo was presented in the manga, but I can feel it in this anime.  That's all i gotta say... In manga, got no such thing but I believe Dororo has feeling to Hyakkimaru after such a long time travelling with him. |

| Nice plot so far, and we got a good narrator ahead of us, guess that's a plus |
| Another great episode. I'm really liking the interactions between Dororo and Hyakkimaru. The old man is great too I hope he stays with the group as well. |
 |
| Great episode. Having a monster going by the name Bandai can't stop me at having the thought of Hyakkimaru is slaying some red square box logo of a Japanese game company I had a love and hate feeling towards... |
| Maybe I have missed something in the first episode, but the fact that he can move the fingers of his prosthetic arm triggers me to no end. |

currysoda said: I've been a member for ages, but I've never posted before(mostly was just keeping track of my anime watching). I was just so disappointed with the remake of this series that everyone seems to like so much that I had to give my opinion. Firstly, I expected they would modernize the art, but the look of the main characters is awful! Dororo now looks and sounds completely like a girl, and Hyakkimaru looks frail and effeminate and has a girly face(even after it's no longer a mask). The art style seems like they tried to make Tezuka art looks like Miyazaki art. ..the body shapes, the facial features... Some random children passed by who looked like they could've just stepped off the Catbus. WTF? I'm watching Dororo here, not Totoro! Secondly, it's not nearly as spooky, creepy, or suspenseful as the old b&w series. It should look more so, being new and in color, but it's not. They show actual red blood, and Hyakkimaru without skin, but it hardly seems creepy, just average stuff by today's standards. We don't get Kagemitsu's cruel response upon seeing his disabled baby They seem to be skimming through parts of the story to move it along.They don't really need to. New series has only 3 episodes fewer than old(new 23/old 26). Too much speed takes away the suspense. I really like this kind of story. I was expecting so much more from this remake. The material was there, they just haven't used it as well as I'd hoped. I'll try it for a few more episodes I guess Most of your criticisms can be summarized with "it's not as good as the old series". New viewers don't really care about that. |
| Great episode, i am truly enjoying this, fights looks really awesome! What that village did was really dark. :o So he beat another demon and gain something back, i wonder what it was! |
 |
| What's so annoying about Dororo? I don't get it. Can't the kid be energetic/ hyperactive? Imagine if you were talking to someone who doesn't answer you back. Oh... but shut-in weeaboos avoid any type of social interaction. Right. Now I get it why they find Dororo annoying. |
| Interesting episode, the series overall has a pretty unique feeling to it. Curious how it will change once he can speak. The original is 50 years old. Crazy to think about. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Excellent episode, the blind priest finally meets in person with Hyakkimaru. It is curious the metamorphosis that little by little Hyakkmiru is having with each monster that kills, he asked me why ... |

| Ok but how does Hyakkimaru write kanji when he’s never been able to see or hear..? |
LOL, how often do you think people washed on that period? also, the dude cant see, hear or feel(now he can since he got his nervous sistem back), do you honestly think he can tell boys/girls appart? |
GreenEmu said: Tougen said: I wouldnt give 2 fucks if romance or warever was the case, but the problem is that you actualy see some sort of romantic relationship going on alredy. No brah, there isnt, stop trying to ship stuff that dosent make sense, please. Please tell me where I stated that there was any sort of romance present in this show? I was defending someone else who said it because a bunch of children got triggered over the aspect. I personally didn't say anything about it, but way to make yourself look like a complete idiot. Next time learn to read. if you know his oppinion is stupid, why are you white knighting him? Grow up, thite-knight-wannabe fag. |
Tougen said: despite public belief pretty often. Unless you were a coal miner or similar you would probably wash at least once a week. About not being able to see he gets his eye after defeating one of the monsters I think it was episode 6 of the original anime or something so he can see at that point. I do agree that at first this can be the case, but... after he starts getting some organs like eyes you cannot say it is the case. Also it is clear the end was rushed and they made this big reveal just to have a plot twist and was not planned in advance.LOL, how often do you think people washed on that period? also, the dude cant see, hear or feel(now he can since he got his nervous sistem back), do you honestly think he can tell boys/girls appart? |
psychokillua said: in the original anime he had a lot of ESP powers: telepathy, telekinesis... maybe it is the case regarding this as well. I was more amazed he learned to fight with a swordOk but how does Hyakkimaru write kanji when he’s never been able to see or hear..? |
| I wonder if he will be able to talk at the end of the story. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| another impressive episode! nice! three of them will be travelling on their own journey! Dororo, Hyakkimaru and Biwamaru! With the addition of Biwamaru, Dororo would understand more of Hyakimaru's situation and of course Biwamaru also has a lot of revelations to tell the tale! 5/5. |
 |
| Another good episode. I like the way Hyakkimaru "sees", and Dororo is growing a bit on me too. And well, yes, appearances can be misleading so it was a nice message/theme for this one. And I thought that old man/priest was the one who rescued Hyakkimaru as a baby, and trained him, but it seems it wasn't him. Well, more to look forward to I guess. I'm a bit confused about what body part he got back this time though. And I could only think of Bandai Namco with the name of that demon. lol |

TheFreycook said: No, me too. I guess that explains why I keep getting this feeling like I have seen this series before, while clearly it is the first time for me. Maybe it's the atmosphere, the soundtrack, and/or the nuance that gives off a vibe similar to how impactful Naruto was back then in my childhood...Is it just me, it's probably just me lol, or does this show kind of have the same feeling and tone of early Naruto? The ED is so effing amazing! amazarashi did another great job as usual... |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| Very interesting episode. I'm really liking the atmosphere and plot so far. Not to mention that the use of the OST helps a lot during some scenes. Bandai being a demon was quite predictable, being honest but its fight against Hyakkimaru was something really nice to watch. The blind monk seems to be a very interesting character so far. I hope he stays with the main duo for a while during the next episodes. |

Loved the fact she was the luring tail of alot of different insects. |
