Everyone is rather blase about murder in dorohedoro, but in general the deal with sorcerers is less "they're a bunch of unrepentant assholes" and more "they're relatively normal dudes, except they straight up don't view humans as real people so much as particularly large bugs"

Well, realtively normal for a bunch of dudes with killing powers competing for more power.

I do like that En and co are basically secondary protagonists rather than villains, and our heroes are still unrepentant killers, even if a sorceror coming to Hole is doing so to practice their powers on people. Lots of shades of grey, no "I will not kill, the power of friendship will save us!"

The only thing that will save you is violence and gyoza.

The real villains of this story are the dickheads who established this practice in the first place. They might be still around, but it's far too early to tell.

This series feels like it's gonna be an acid trip but it's got just enough weirdness and humor to keep me interested.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
I'm not really worried about it turning out to be style over substance, if that's what you mean; it's done a very elegant job of characterizing these people in a very short time, and it shows a level of trust in its audience to keep up that lovely anime almost universally can't, and doesn't.

I'm optimistic, leaning towards confident.

Tried reading the manga a couple times and never got very far, but man, this first episode is hitting all my buttons. Except that, stylized as the CGI characters are, they just really looks worse than the 2D ones and the backgrounds and I wish they weren't.

The poster on the outside of Nikaido's bedroom door is for Over The Top, a weird and nearly forgotten Sylvester Stallone Trucker Armwrestling movie. Now that's a odd pull.

I wonder if En's thin mustache under the mask is intentional, or if he just doesn't shave all that often.

And Noi is the best, in part but not only because, as mentioned, her magic is healing. Everything else about her is hard work paying off.

Dorohedoro is trying really hard to be the best anime of 2020 already. And if it keeps this up, it might succeed.

Gonna have to think twice about eating mushrooms from now on though...

Somebody has to say it: En looks like Immortan Joe going through a punk rock mafia don phase.

Dorohedoro came out at the turn of the millennium, so it's really more like Immortan Joe is En as a post-apocalyptic dictator.

"Why did you throw a fork?" That and callback to itchy face are my favorite things in any media in a while.

This is one of the rare shows for which I want to see a decent dub, but with a continuous cavalcade of cluster F-bombs. It's also the first time in a while something has evoked the horse scene from The Cell.

Hard to make a show popular when youre limiting which countries version of Netflix it shows up on.
