Dorohedoro

Dorohedoro’s elevator pitch is as follows: a man named Caiman and his best friend Nikaido are on a quest to hunt down the sorcerer who transformed Caiman into a half-man-half-lizard being. In order to find said sorcerer, Caiman chomps down on their head and has the mysterious man inside his body ask them whether they’re the one who dun it.

Don’t let the imposing appearances of Dorohedoro’s characters fool you, the show is a riot of violence and laughs alike. In one moment, a character dissecting a goon into a modern art sculpture can be undercut by characters goofily waving at a friendly devil floating by. While many anime fans lament over Dorohedoro’s use of CG anime when comparing it to its manga counterpart’s grungy heavily-detailed artstyle, Mappa’s anime CG animation becomes surprisingly charming once you get through watching a couple episodes.

What makes Dorohedoro stand out among other Netflix anime is its phenomenal worldbuilding. Unlike most dystopian anime, Dorohedoro’s derelict cityscape of the Hole and the topsiturvy Magic User World feel lived in. Each passing episode of Dorohedoro is bursting with details

Also, much like Devilman Crybaby, Dorohedoro has a bunch of bops in its opening and closing credits–most notably its Doom-inspired ending.
