Review of Dorohedoro

*frustrated screaming* The worst part of Dorohedoro was finishing episode 12 and realizing that nothing resolves. Yes, I assume a second season is forthcoming, but I tend to avoid series until they're DONE done because I hate this feeling of suspension; I forgot to do my homework on Dorohedoro. (I'll actually probably just switch over to the manga series once I've knocked out a few of the series I'm actively in the middle of reading.) But that's all a personal problem. If we just look at what Dorohedoro was able to do in twelve episodes, it's astonishingly great. Great characters drive a beautifully textured world that straddlesthe line between dystopia and urban fantasy, with a convincing plot that I'm actively interested in seeing a conclusion to.

And goddamn, those OP and ED themes! And the art style! And the ability to swing between the super-bleak and the cheerfully humorous!

I should have known it was all too good to be a standalone 12 episode series.
