Kambole Campbell Thrillist 06/15/2020
Hayashida's characters comfortably jump from page to screen with little change, which just goes to show how timeless Hayashida's designs were -- with stylish techwear and streetwear fits being the defining looks of this dystopian fantasy world. Go to Full Review

Dorohedoro somehow perfected the balance of mystery, absurd violence, and humor into a single hellishly beautiful package. Go to Full Review

Devin P @RT20559591 Apr 19 Bask in the glory! It’s gruesome, grotesque and yet quirky. Animation is charmingly brutal, and the characters (both good and bad) are so likeable. Brilliant brilliant brilliant, I come back once/twice a year to rewatch it. See more Rafiz R @RT96144229 12/26/2024 Wild, chaotic masterpiece that blends dark fantasy, gritty visuals, and absurd humor into a jaw dropping ride. With unforgettable characters like the lizard-headed Caiman, powerful Nikaido who is a chef and a sorcerer, and the badass Shin-Noi duo, it serves up unpredictable twists, brutal action, and hilarious moments. Its surreal world of magic and mayhem is unlike anything you’ve seen, making every episode a thrilling experience. A must-watch for anyone craving something bold, bizarre, and utterly brilliant! See more Yuri A @RT34082834 02/18/2024 The animated series Dorohedoro is fantastic. The production team that worked on the animation did an excellent job. Everything about this anime leaves me ecstatic and in awe: the art direction, the scenery, the character designs, the soundtrack and the plot. I'm super excited to see what will happen to the protagonist Kaiman and his friend Nikaido in season 2. See more Robert L @RT84951478 12/01/2023 A great anime! Perplexing, fun, crude, demented - refreshing to know it exists! What you get if Monty Python were Japanese, create anime, and consumed a lot of the show's main protagonists favorite dish. It's a show where particular scenes stay with you for how they were conceived and presented. Alter your mind, open it, be flexible and watch. See more Honest D @RT10468612 08/13/2023 There are not very many anime(that i know of) that come close to this in terms of story, art, heart and sheer weirdness. While studios keep pumping out clones of clones of clones of isekai that were not even great to begin with they could be learning from this. I hope that whoever created this ends up doing the upcoming Dandadan anime. See more 06/22/2021 Animation is very good for a Netflix original. Story is interesting, but cut short and left on a cliff-hanger in season 1. See more Read all reviews
