Just when he thinks his short life is about to end at the hands of a monster, Dororo is saved by a masked fighter, with hidden blades for arms. His name is Hyakkimaru, a human that was cursed from the day he was born. His limbs, sight, speech, hearing and even skin were traded to demons in order for his father to get his wish to rule his land unchallenged and have it flourish. Having seen just what this young warrior is capable of, Dororo decides to join him on his mission to slay every demon that stole from him and regain his humanity in the process.<\/span><\/em>\n\nMy, oh my! Now this was an action packed series, one that was full of gore, blood shed, pacts with demons and plenty of violence. I have to say, this may very well end up being my favorite anime of the year already. The story is certainly intriguing, and was actually told more from the side characters point of view instead of our demon slayer Hyakkimaru. In just 24 episodes it succeeded in developing practically every character involved, answered all questions and fully delivered on the action. It\u2019s no wonder this anime was produced by Studio MAPPA. In fact the story itself was actually first created by the \u2018Father of Manga\u2019 - Osamu Tezuka!<\/span>\n\nDororo is in fact the name of our young orphan thief, who has their own personal tragedy when it comes to their parents and identity. A whimsical child, cunning and sly, who has managed to survive thus far in this war torn land. One that is beginning to be ruled by the corrupt samurai, instead of the everyday farmers and general population. As luck would have it, Dororo is quickly saved by the traveling Hyakkimaru as he was on the hunt for one of the 48 demons that cursed him. Throughout this series, Hyakkimaru begins to restore not only his body parts, but also his emotions, voice and the ability to feel pain. One that I am sure he almost came to regret when those he began to spend time with are brutally slaughtered. We learn about both our main characters' pasts and how their stories became intertwined. Although this show did very well in managing all that it did in just 24 episodes, I still would have loved to have seen more. It is definitely a show I would recommend to people and one I will certainly be rewatching again in the future.<\/span>\n\n\u2018Dororo\u2019 was directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi, a Japanese anime director and supervisor, whose work has included the anime series of Rurouni Kenshin, Hunter x Hunter, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn and one of the most anticipated animes of the year: Spy x Family. \u2018Dororo\u2019 was then brought to life by a collaboration between studios MAPPA and Tezuka Productions. MAPPA is of course most renowned for Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kakegurui and the up-coming Chainsaw Man! Tezuka Productions was an animation company founded by Osamu Tezuka himself, which also produced anime adaptations of many of his own manga works. Including Astro Boy, The New Adventures of Kimba, The White Lion and Black Jack. So the animation on \u2018Dororo\u2019 was incredibly sleek, well choreographed and just a pure delight to watch.<\/span>\n\nBonus features include:<\/span>\n

Thankfully however the title was picked up by another magazine and the tale was concluded in 1969. This manga was then adapted into a 26 episode anime series by Mushi Production, way back in 1969.<\/span>\n\nDororo later had a revival in 2018, when the manga was later adapted again in an ongoing series by Satoshi Shiki, entitled: The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru. This one in fact has been picked up by Seven Seas Entertainment and was done in the same character design as this very anime adaptation which was released in 2019. There has since been a video game and live action adaptation over the years.<\/span>\n\n\u2018Dororo\u2019, is available to buy now on BluRay, through the lovely folks over at MVM Entertainment. <\/span>\n\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Dororo - Complete Collection Review","post_excerpt":"Dororo is a young orphan","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dororo-complete-collection-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-07 21:55:53","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-07 20:55:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207560","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204696,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2020-03-18 20:01:43","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-18 20:01:43","post_content":"Directed By:<\/strong> Munehisa Sakai<\/span>\r\n\r\nWritten By:<\/strong> Shigeru Murakoshi<\/span>\r\n\r\nStudio:<\/strong> MAPPA<\/span>\r\n\r\nAudio:<\/strong> English, Japanese<\/span>\r\n\r\nSubtitles:<\/strong> English<\/span>\r\n\r\nEpisode Count:<\/strong> 12<\/span>\r\n\r\nLicensed By:<\/strong> Manga Entertainment UK, Funimation<\/span>\r\n\r\nFormat:<\/strong> DVD, BluRay, Collector\u2019s Limited Edition, FunimationNow<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease Date:<\/strong> 10th February 2020<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOur story begins with the tragic death of Sakura Minamoto, a high school girl with her sights set on becoming an idol. She rises again ten years later as a living, breathing zombie, after being resurrected by a mysterious man called Koutarou Tatsumi. Whose main focus is on revitalizing the Saga Prefecture with the creation of a new Idol group. Oddly enough, all it\u2019s members are dead. Literally, dead. Tatsumi has handpicked 7 individual girls that have been deceased for decades, some even centuries, and has resurrected them for this soul purpose. Gradually they begin to remember their past lives, whilst Sakura doesn\u2019t recall anything. Just why is that?<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\nWell I certainly wasn\u2019t expecting her death that quickly in the first episode, from that moment the afterlife of Sakura Minamoto had me hooked! Although the show is comical, it also carries some intense backstories to do with each of their deaths. Events that hit just as hard, as when I first watched Angel Beats. On the brightside, the girls are great performers with catchy songs and dance routines. They each have their own unique personalities and with a big bucket of foundation, they appear like normal teenage girls to the outside world, (as long as they can manage to keep their limbs attached.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSakura is our viewpoint for this series and I think is the second last one to have died, just before Ai. Sakura was the first to \u201cawaken\u201d and regain her consciousness, and was then forced to become somewhat of the caretaker of the group. In her afterlife, she begins to live the dreams of her past self, even though she has no recollection of it at the beginning of the series. The rest of her Idol group are an interesting bunch. A group that contains two former idols, a child TV star, the leader of a Biker gang, a famous Courtesan from the 19th century and a girl named Tae, who is still unable to regain her human consciousness. I particularly like Tae, although she has difficulty in focusing on routines, can\u2019t sing or talk, she offers great humor as she chases people around trying to bite them!<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs to how these seven girls were resurrected is still a mystery, as well as the idea of why you would do it in the first place. All the answers lie with their group manager - Kotaro Tatsumi, and he isn\u2019t revealing anything! Although we do see a connection between him and one of the characters at the end of the series, I still have no idea on why he picked the other members of Franchouchou. Hopefully we can get more answers in the second season if it comes out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nZombie Land Saga<\/em> was created by a Japanese Animation Studio by the name of MAPPA. Having only established back in 2011, in it\u2019s eight short years it has created some of the most acclaimed animes in recent years. Including \u201cKids on the Slope\u201d, \u201cTerror in Resonance\u201d, \u201cPunch Line\u201d, \u201cYuri on Ice\u201d and \u201cIn This Corner of the World\u201d. A second season has been announced, with the working title of \u201cZombie Land Saga Revenge<\/em>\u201d. News on when this will be released is unknown.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nZombie Land Saga<\/em> was a pretty entertaining show from start to finish, with plenty of character development and background. With two characters having already met people from their past, will this happen again with other members of the group? Also will we ever discover the true reason how and why these girls were resurrected? Here\u2019s hoping Zombie Land Saga<\/em> Revenge will give us some more answers.<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou can buy this 12 episode season today from Manga Entertainment UK on BluRay and DVD, with the Collectors Limited Edition containing both, as well as a 20 page art book & several art cards.
