hi, guys. The user Solmate said that he likes the anime and I noticed that it's airing this season! So I thought I'd make a discussion thread. 🤗

Hole—a dark, decrepit, and disorderly district where the strong prey on the weak and death is an ordinary occurrence—is all but befitting of the name given to it. A realm separated from law and ethics, it is a testing ground to the magic users who dominate it. As a race occupying the highest rungs of their society, the magic users think of the denizens of Hole as no more than insects. Murdered, mutilated, and made experiments without a second thought, the powerless Hole dwellers litter the halls of Hole's hospital on a daily basis.

Possessing free access to and from the cesspool, and with little challenge to their authority, the magic users appear indomitable to most—aside for a few. Kaiman, more reptile than man, is one such individual. He hunts them on a heedless quest for answers with only a trusted pair of bayonets and his immunity to magic. Cursed by his appearance and tormented by nightmares, magic users are his only clue to restoring his life to normal. With his biggest obstacle being his stomach, his female companion Nikaidou, who runs the restaurant Hungry Bug, is his greatest ally.

Set in a gritty world of hellish design, Dorohedoro manages a healthy blend of comedy and lightheartedness with death and carnage. Taking plenty of twists and turns while following the lives of Hole's residents, it weaves a unique world of unearthly origin and dreary appearance not for the squeamish or easily disturbed.

It's highly recommended to keep your posts in spoilers, but there really is no way to enforce that since this is a discussion thread and anything goes. Don't get upset if you read something and you aren't up-to-date with the current episodes.

I have not seen this anime yet? Have you? Hopefully Soilmate sees this thread.

Yep this is the only anime I'm watching this season, it's really good so far! I'm a little far ahead in the manga as well so I can't wait for the new episodes.

I might end up watching it in the future, but I'm not sure. I saw a few little clips of it and I saw there was a bit of gore??? I'm not into that, but if it's not insanely gorey, I'll give it a watch.

I'm currently watching 32 different anime, so we'll see. 😎

That's way too much anime man.

It's not that gory it's mostly story based with a couple fights

took me awhile to get use to the 3d character models but its still good. aesthetically nowhere near as pleasing as the manga though

Yeah I like the 3D personally. The manga is good but there's so much blank ink it's hard to tell what's going on sometimes

>blank ink it's hard to tell what's going on sometimes
thats what I remember thinking when I read the manga at first but after rereading a few volumes last night everything was really easy to follow. maybe reading something like Blame! just got me use to hard to follow manga.

This is some next level dedication! I have no idea what any of the lyrics mean, but nice. 😁✌

I'm almost finished with the manga and it's actually gotten a lot better since the first few volumes, especially after they changed magazines. Either way those chapter/volume summaries help a lot to process what you just saw

I finally decided to watch the anime after Soulmate～っ☆ and I agreed to watch it together. I was not expecting anything really when starting the anime. I already knew it would be somewhat heavy on the gore side and there would be a lot of blood. I usually don't watch stuff of this genre, but since everyone is raving about it, as well as @Soulmate～っ☆@, I thought I'd give it a go.

So, we started it. I'll just be reviewing the first episode as we haven't continued watching yet.

The first episode wasn't bad. I first joked about how weird the CGI was, but as others have discussed on other forums, the well-made artwork, and backgrounds displayed in the anime compliment the 3D. At times, the switch from 2D to 3D can be a bit weird, but it's not to the point where it completely ruins the anime. I think the CGI aspect brings alive the characters like they are supposed to be.

I have not read the manga yet but reading other discussions, the majority of the fans who have read the manga and are now watching the anime say that the anime is good. I am not hooked yet. I will continue watching it and I'm wondering how my opinions will change, but at the moment I don't think it's the anime of the season as some people think it is.

The characters are not so unique, but what I will say is that they are easy to identify. You are given all these new characters all at once, but you can remember who they are. I like the voice actors used for the characters. I have not read the manga as I said before, but to be able to portray a character and have them sound like they should be based on their traits and who they are is always a plus from me. For example, I am enjoying Kaiman's voice actor, as he can bring a comedic aspect to what he says, but also be a very serious killer.

Let's talk about what the anime is classified under in terms of genre. It's spot on. If you like magic, action, comedy, horror, and seinen this is it for you. I haven't seen too much magic so I can't go into that too much yet. The action is there. Watching Nikaido and Kaiman work together to killing people to find out more about his past. There is a good amount of comedy in this anime at times. As I said before, Kaiman can say or do some funny stuff. And for seinen, this anime is for sure aimed towards a young adult audience.

Taken from the synopsis, "Set in a gritty world of hellish design, Dorohedoro manages a healthy blend of comedy and lightheartedness with death and carnage." This is true! I am looking forward to continuing this series and seeing if I enjoy it or end up disliking it.

The magic is some of the best parts 😈

I just finished watching episode two and episode three with my beloved friend, Soulmate～っ☆ , He is more ahead of me in the story and was kind enough to go back and watch it with me. We finally had some free time to continue the series! I'll be writing discussions every so often as we finish up this series whenever we can.

The second episode was a little bit boring. The story in this episode was a bit slow and I found my brain wandering off throughout the episode. The CGI is still a little bit weird to me but it doesn't completely ruin the anime.

When we get into the third episode, it starts to get more interesting. Once again, I felt like the story was a little bit slow in this episode, but we were able to get a little more action which is a plus. Additionally, we learn that Nikaido is a sorcerer! I'm sure Kaimen will think thoroughly about this but in the end, stay loyal to her.

Fujita and Ebisu's relationship is funny and I am always laughing when she's running off to do something stupid and he has to fix her mess. I'm alright with girls who like to workout or tend to be more muscular than others, but Noi's body is just unrealistic and it's kind of weird and gross to look at during certain scenes.

The gore and violence do not upset me as much as it does in other anime. Usually, when I watch these types of anime I hate it. The gore and violence are just exaggerated and I'm not trying to see a million arms and legs fly across the room with blood splattered across my screen. With this anime, it is exaggerated but I can tolerate it which is good.

I'm not sure when we'll be able to watch the fourth episode so I'm probably going to forget stuff as I did with the first episode. But I am looking forward to it. The story is about to get interesting and I'm hoping it continues to go well. Despite being slow, at least there is a plot being followed.
