| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode 2 is up on Netflix Japan. Noi is such a badass but it's also interesting to see his relationship with the other cast such as Shin. Lol, that little dream though. There's more of the district being shown in the world. Humor remains the usual for this series which keeps it entertaining. |
 |
| holy shit noi looked so great, so did shin! The story is picking up, can’t wait for the next episode :D |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| They adapted up till the metamorphosis chapter. The adaptation is pretty good so far and I just picked up the manga. Really loved the series so far! Anime of the season potential. The CGI is pretty good imo. |
 |
| Opening scene was great. Seems they cut some dialogue when they were in Migimaru hole and the 1000 arms bar (which is a shame cos Orange did this with beastars as well). Not too happy with how they handled the Shin "bloodlust" moment at dinner compared to the manga. Music and BG art are 10/10 but it's hard to see past the CG at points despite looking better than last episode. Overall still happy with this but tbf I might be slightly biased compared to general viewers |
| Yeah, the CG's much better than the previous episode, Kaiman's head doesn't look quite as out of place. Anyway, pretty solid episode. Shin and Noi are great. I didn't mind the dinner scene and quite like the sketchy close up on Shin's face. |
| Yup the CG's much better (Kaiman's face is actually the mos distracting bit) and they're doing a decent job adapting the story from the manga. Oh and as I said in the previous episode discussion, and I'll say it again. NOI. Best Girl. How can you not love a 209 cms tall lady like her? And I have to say they really nailed Shin and En's voice actors. They sound exactly how I would have imagined they would. |

| Another epic episode, it was great |
 |
| So who actually was turned into mushrooms? I don't remember (I have read the manga feel free to "spoil" me) |

MehmetY said: They should have done what FGO Babylonia is doing with Gorgon, keep the faces non-CG and use CG mainly for the body like her tail and hair snakes. But still, as said 2nd ep has been better than 1st ep so things look promising.3D animations are good and promising but CGI human faces are pretty bad. Farabeuf said: Pretty much. KobaYuu a best.And I have to say they really nailed Shin and En's voice actors. They sound exactly how I would have imagined they would. |
| What we learned from the second episode: 1. Horror and comedy both at the same time, yep that is Dorohedoro for you. 2. Characters have strong personalities. 3. One tit out, lol. 4. Nikaidou is a tough girl. 5. Ebisu best girl. 5/5 |

| Great episode yet again! Glad they're adapting the manga well. |
| I still don't know wtf is going on |
| The mushrooms are... people. I don't blame the guy, I don't like waste either... and I guess that includes people, but it's not exactly tasteful... or probably tasty (or at least I hope it isn't). Also, Kaiman, give the guy a break, you just shoved him into your mouth and he was pretty cool about telling you what he was told. |
| "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. |
zeus-faber said: why should you? do u read 2 chapters from a book and know whats going on? if so it must be a badly written one. I still don't know wtf is going on anyways this episode was phenomenal. i never woulda thought a cgi anime would end up being better than the majority of the season. |
zeus-faber said: I still don't know wtf is going on It's all going to make sense, trust me. There's no big asspulls here, just a slowburn story were we don't get fed everything of the bat. |

| Another great episode, really looking forward to the next one! Seems like we will get some real action there |
 |
| This series is so fucking random, I love it. Also...Noi and Nikaido...I need them muscle babes in my life. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Not a bad episode. Sin and Noi were introduced and they are interesting characters. |
 |
| Much better and interesting than the first episode. Plus this must be the least CGI looking CGI anime lol. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| My favourite cleaners taking out the trash. |
 |
| A cool episode. I'm interested to see how this fight turns out. |

| I must be in the minority here, because the CG is goddamn awful, Mappa is better than this. The CG models doesn't really help setting the tone for this series, it just feels pale and dull, it's a shame, because there are some fantastic 2D-shots that gets ruined by CG afterwards, it feels like a big downgrade, specially for human faces. (also, what the heck is wrong with these body proportions?) Not a fan of the comedy either, I feel like this is going to be Kokkoku all over again. Quite the shame, because the story seems interesting enough to carry the show, but all these little details are ruining the experience. |

| The episode felt short. Really want to see more. Caimon and the others from Hole make it sound like Sorcerers are bad guys, but the sorcerers have such a wide variety of personalities that I can't think of them as only bad people at all. |
| this show is like on some cheap drugs from the dumpster |
| Lots of new characters this episode, probably the antagonists who looked as f*cked up as the whole universe (which is by far not a negative point). Gosh I'd hate to live in the Hole... |
 |
| Background art is great, music fits the show well. Other than kaiman face, I have no qualms on cgi. They are mostly adapting 3 chapter per ep (It doesn't feel like they are rushing with this adaptation) and so the pacing is good. Might give it a 7 or a promising 8 by the end of season. Although people are recommending manga over anime for this, I suggest you to try first 2 eps before deciding. If you are cringing at the cgi at every scene, then go ahead with manga. As for me I'll be going with anime |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| So obvious that Noi was a girl and well, I like them thicc, but she's a bit too much even for me xD Another great episode. The gritty world, the comedy and wtf moments all work so well, can't wait for more. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This episode was pure madness! What an episode and it was great! XD No one can mess with Nikaido or they will beg dearly for their lives! |

| So this show has not one but two snu snu waifus so far. Great start, 10/10. |
| ok like...alot of interesting characters...... I want to know why are magicians hunting in the hole in the first place..if they keep getting killed |

Anime not full cgi We have great bakaground and nice diriction This enough for me That's right, it is enough for you. And that's fine, it's your taste and nothing can change that. The problem for me, is that there is a constant switch between CG and 2D character models that is straight up bad, specially if the character designs differ from each one of them, you can see the difference between the images I added to my earlier comment, the blonde guy seems rather dull and pale in comparison to the 2D shot he got where he looks more lively (there's that, and the unrealistic physics almost every single CGI anime has that makes their character looks really clumsy and fake) Considering the good 2D work this anime has, there was literally NO NEED to do CG. |

| The En family is such a blast.They make Dorohedoro great for me.The va's for both Shin and Noi are great.The CGI doesn't bother me anymore and the fight scene with Nikaido this episode felt smoother than the one in the first episode.I hope they continue to improve the quality. |

Fabpen said: I think they chose to use CG to lower the cost of animation... Dorohedoro is not something everybody wants to adapt Even then, I might accept that they use CG in something like the lizard guy or vehicles, but I find odd that they use CG mostly for the main cast (including key villains and the main lead) whereas there is great artwork for 2D backgrounds and other not so important characters. Tbf, I wouldn't really have minded if it were CG if it looked good and it was CG only (like Houseki no Kuni for example), but there is a big difference in detail between CG and 2D, CG looks more... pale and clumsy in comparison to 2D. If budget was a problem, then they could have done it full CG. |

| New characters showing up. The two cleaners, looks like they're up for the job especially that no-magic usage part. Damn, Nikaido just went all out on those robbers. Too bad they wouldn't see the light of day anymore. Too badass. The flow's just keep getting better and better. |

| Great episode! Also we've got the eye stomp, top of the head cut and Ebisu's dress scenes all faithfully recreated, so it's probably safe to say there are no reasons to be worried about censorship. Now some things were painted on/not quite textured still, but it will be super easy to fix for BD releases. HereticHunter said: Even then, I might accept that they use CG in something like the lizard guy or vehicles, but I find odd that they use CG mostly for the main cast (including key villains and the main lead) whereas there is great artwork for 2D backgrounds and other not so important characters. Duh, they want to lower their production costs, not to rise them. Not so important characters than only show up for 10 seconds before dissappering forever are cheaper to hand draw, you don't want to create a new CG model for a couple of shots in one episode. You want to create CG models for reoccuring characters that show up constantly to get the most bang for your buck on them. Like for example if one model costs as much as 10 minutes of hand drawn character animation, it means it is cheaper to hand draw minor characters with less than 10 minutes of screen time while it is also cheaper to CG major characters who have more than 10 minutes across the show. One exception is zoom out moving crowds shots where you might want to use CG on minor background characters by reusing same models multiple times, multiplying their usefulness per second in the process. Good examples of that are big scale army on army battles. |
