Review of Dorohedoro

A short quick review of Dorohedoro: The good: + World setting + Main Characters The neutral: = Art Style= Animation

The Bad:

- Comic relief characters didn't add anything for me
- Unexplained questions I have to the setting
- Story needs more, or a 2nd season to the show

Overall:

Can't recommend.

Look, it's not a bad show or a show to hate. But I wouldn't recommend the show to anyone.

The world building is good but it leaves too many holes in it for me. Why do sorcerers have to wear masks? Why would they wear makes when going to the Hole? It just makes them stand out and practically shout that they are sorcerers. Why do they go to a different world to practise and how did they discover the other world and learn to move between them? There is just too many unexplained obvious questions for me to rate this show highly.

But lets ignore the burning questions I have for now. The main characters of Kaiman and Nikadou are good, and these are the people whose story we are mainly following. The story overall is fine but it feels lacking and incomplete. Which is why I would like another season to flesh it out and finish it. If another season does come, it would influence the score of this season. The art style doesn't sit like your usual 2d or 3d in most anime. I don't like it or hate it the art style. Animation wise it's fine. The comic relief characters of Ebisu and Fujita get stale because their too often used for comedy through being injured/killed or sometimes just by being a bit too weird/zany in the case of Ebisu. Other characters I don't have strong feelings or opinions on. Not a fan of the opening or closing themes either.

So overall, I just have too many questions about the setting that doesn't sit right with me, the comic relief characters aren't great over time and the story needed more to it. Everything else was either fine or good, but that's why I can't recommend this show.
