They are both historical anime set in about the same time period with Japanese mythology as an underlying theme. Inuyasha and the gang are looking for shards of Shikon no Tama, while Hyakkimaru is looking for his missing bodyparts. This leads to an epic journey for both teams.

Both of these series take place in demon-infested feudal Japan! If you're a fan of feudal clothing, characters, and demon-slaying with a side of found family, then Dororo is just the show you need to come down from your InuYasha trip!

Even if in Inuyasha, the main character, Kagome, comes from modern Japan, the story takes place during the sengoku period in both animes.
In Inuyasha as in Dororo, the main character travels trough Japan in order to collect the pieces of shinkon no tama in the first show and Hyakkimaru's bodyparts in the second. To do that, they will need to fight and kill demons.
Furthermore, the feudal Japan ambiance is pretty much similar in both shows, even if Dororo is a little more dark.
The setting of ancient Japan, the concept of samurai and fighting monsters, looking for something the protagonist needs.
The similarities between Dororo and Inuyasha are clearly there. Both shows have a stong male protagonist who's driven by revenge while protecting his friends fighting against demons and stubborn family members during the medieval times of Japan. While Inuyasha pursues his dream of becoming a complete demon and being confronted with the negative side effects of that wish the protagonist of Dororo has to deal with a somewhat similar issue where he wants to get back what is rightfully his but resultung in calamity for others.
If you like Inuyasha or anything that has to do with Japanese yokai's, supernatural beings and demons, do give Dororo a shot! Dororo is a reboot of a 60's anime/manga but a reboot done very well!
This is a dark show but filled with action, emotion, and such a gorgeous opening and ending song. My friend recommended it to me, and I couldn't stop watching it. As a historical geek, I fell in love with the Japanese historical atmosphere mixed with the supernatural.
