| @Rei366 Drawings and animation were fine, but I thought the characters don't blend in well with the backrounds. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Rei366 said: For a "modern" reimagining, this was incredibly close to the first TV adaptation! The redesign of Dororo is quite good in evoking his past form. Hyakkimaru on the other hand.. Looks like they reduced the number of body parts to fit a half-length show. A full length one would have been more fitting to celebrate the God of Manga... Also, this dog... I was kind of hoping that it wouldn't be picked up by this adaptation. Was it even in the manga?? Something I found weird was the blind monk in the past, what was that? Was it in the book? o_O 5/5 @CodeBlazeFate I know you didn't have it on your radar so may I point it out for you? @Birdsanddrugs To be fair, the first adaptations (colour pilot, B&W TV series) had quite the action too. @FMMatron Kannst du bitte mir Animation Probleme Beispiele geben? OK.ru hat immer wieder die Auflosung auf die 3DS geändert und deswegen hatte ich oft schw.Bildschirme, deshalb habe ich sie vielleicht verpasst. @AwesomeAlfie27 Where did you get the actor's age? I looked the voice actress of Dororo here on MAL and checked on Google, i was surprised Respect for the Rei image |

| Pretty good but some small changes from the original I noticed and I am unsure if they are good or not, 1) Hyakamaru's father in this version has as a motive also that there is famine and stuff in his land, but in the original he just wants to rule everything. Also he openly offers his son to the demons, as the demons appear to be talking to him although we only hear his responses. Is not a surprise in any sense. It seems that this version tries to not make the character to look so evil. 2) In the original Dororo tries to steal some food for an old monk that is starving but the monk dies before he comes back. In my opinion this shows that Dororo is actually pretty kind hearted which is not visible in this version 3) Hyakamaru does not know from the beginning killing monsters will get his limbs back. He realizes this a bit further in the story. 4) In the original the mother is forced to abandon the child not the midwife which makes the father even more cruel. |

| @nightcrawlercyp Giving him relatively "redeeming" facts was the only thing that did not sit well with me. He wasn't eveil in the original story, he was just totally driven by his ambition and giving up his son was a pretty good manifestation of it. @AwesomeAlfie27 Oh, right ! o_O (thanks for the picture but the drawing is not from me, someone made me this photoshop picture thirteen years ago and since then I never found the original art she used. XD) |
| Some people are complaining about the op but I absolutely love it ! Also, I'm not sure if I'm just gonna watch the anime or if I should the manga.. or maybe a previous adaptation of it ? Anyway, it was a pretty damn cool first episode. |
 |
| It showed us the MC's, which were interesting to say the least. The fighting was really good. Looking forward to next week! |

His voice is so beautiful and takes a song to a whole other level! And this anime looks so promising I feel in love after the first episode alone. |
BackstageMage said: satsatsaturnalia said: is dororo a boy or a girl because the design looks like a girl but the subs I found referred to them as a he Dororo is a guy 30charactercount I honestly feel like Dororo might be a girl in this version. His voice and eyes are very feminine |
 |
| I loved everything about this episode. Looks like the show I will love. So lord's first son managed to get his face from the demons at the end of the episode. Looks like it will be an interesting journey. |
| This episode seemed somewhat rushed, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The OP and ED are great. |
| The fight scene between Hyakkimaru and Deiki was so cool, really well done. Already like Dororo, easiest way to make me like character is to portray them being nice to dogs. :P Very nice episode overall, can't wait for more. Really glad that it's gonna have more than 12 episodes. |

In fact as one can see in the original anime the peasants suffered way more from the deal and the wars started by this lord. Again in this version of the anime is not so clear how the wars started or that he was the one starting them.nightcrawlercyp said: His only redeeming qualities so far are 'he could be even more evil' so I think the changes to his character are fine.Pretty good but some small changes from the original I noticed and I am unsure if they are good or not, 1) Hyakamaru's father in this version has as a motive also that there is famine and stuff in his land, but in the original he just wants to rule everything.

DumpsterKing said: it's also quite clear he doesn't care about his peoples suffering. When making a deal with the demons, he doesn't say "to help his people", he says " so that I become a great ruler": to achieve his selfish ambitions.nightcrawlercyp said: The idea pushed was that his people were in serious trouble and that this was a reason justifying his actions.

| Dororo is so much like Ten from Kingdom.His face and voice is like a girl may be there is a twist that he is a girl. Anyway great episode and I want to see the backstory of Hyakkimaru and who took care of him after he was abandoned and cursed. |
| This show is going to be one of the best of this season. Animation is solid. Opening and ending themes are really co. That fight scene was also really cool to look at. Hope it's going to be a 2 cour show. |
 |
| Well, they do put a lot of effort into this anime. It give me the same vibes as Studio Ghibli but R 17 + rating. The story is really great. I'm pretty sure this is one of the most decent anime of 2019. But the voice actors doesn't give me that much impressions, especially Dororo. My score for this anime is ranging between 7.5 and 8. But someone I admire here scored it to 9. So, it got score 8 from me... xD |
  "Self respect is the greatest gift we can give to our self" |
| Very nice start. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Hooked. Have to travel back quite some time to when I actually religiously planned on watching 3 or more animes in the same season. 2019 has been a great start for anime. |

| I don't really get it why everyone is prasing this show. I may watch the second episode, but this first was actually quite boring |
 |
| Good music and stylish like Samurai Champloo but also dark and gory like Berserk. I can already tell I will like this series. |
 |
| It was okay, I look forward to watching more of this! |
 |
| This was one of the best first episodes I've seen in a while. I just hope this doesn't turn into an episodic series soon. Can't wait for ep 2! |

You honestly shouldn't put too much thought into what other people say about it, tbh, Even though I'm doing just that. Considering you have a 3.55 mean score, it isn't a suprise you find some of the shows I like boring. Besides, I'm just curious on the reason of people enjoying something that I can't see the appeal, but I'm actually fine with people enjoying it. For example, I didn't really like Angel Beats, but I do understand why most of people enjoy it and I respect their opinions. |

Either dark themed anime is just not for you, or you simply prefer anime that makes you sleep on your couch. To each their own i guess. |

You do realize that almost every person who watched 3-gatsu consider the show a masterpiece right? Specially if we're talking about the second season. Most likely slice of life/drama anime is just not for you. To each their own i guess |
|
| Didn't expect that I would like it, but damn it was amazing. I like the darkness of the series. Not a fan of the OP song that much. |
Ano saa  Can I ask a guide how to watch this series? like . . .Should I watch the alternative version first?  https://myanimelist.net/anime/5760/Dororo_to_Hyakkimaru https://myanimelist.net/anime/11471/Dororo_Pilot Thanks!  |

You only need to watch this, but deffo check https://myanimelist.net/anime/5760/Dororo_to_Hyakkimaru if you're interested. |
| So does anyone know the air date of episode 2 ? :) I read through the comments on the thread, couldn't find the info, sorry if somebody already stated it! Also, I love this shows' premise, high hopes for this one, especially in MAPPA's hands ! |

And yes, its not for me, i personaly find most of them boring. And no, thats not the point, im not saying you are an exeption, just pointing out people with your tastes would probably not enjoy a series such as this, with gorgeous action and a dark themed story. Thought its probably too early too judge since we barely know the protagonists yet. |
