    That moment when Dororo has already ended but you still see reviews popping up.
    I guess you could say that...the party isn't over? :D

    I am gonna miss it so much. I was so beautifully made, and so emotional. The characters were both dark, but so lovable. I’m so so happy with how this evolved the older series!!

    Dororo is one of the dopest anime series ever.
    The conflict (as he said in the vid) between hyakkimaru and daigo's land, the idea of "everyone is right about his own desires" but also "their actings are a bit wrong", and everything else makes it so perfect. The fight scenes are so cool, the characters are very lovable.
    What I love is how they brought it to us, first it was the idea that "hyakkimaru needs his body" but then "hey, can u really sacrifice a whole land for a person"? And then, u start to feel sad bout the daigo's people, and somehow think that hyakkimaru is acting bad, but then in the end, everything turns out as it should, and the rights go all to hyakkimaru with the morale in the end "do it yourself. Dont live on the sacrifice of someone else"
    Awsomeeeeee

    It's also insanely rewatchable, there are collectible themes so to speak. The body parts, buddha statues, words, you can go on to watch the episodes only to try to catch them all as they come. A lot of the time you can also indeed see hyakkimaru reacting without a voice, and focus just on his pov

    Dororo (the character) is actually my most fav character in the series. She's bubbly but have enough tinge of melancholy that never makes her annoying. Her constant work to makes hyakkimaru bocome both better human and complete human is admirable. Her background is awesome, her dad is awesome, her mother is even more awesome, and future dororo is babe.

    Okay so I finished dororo & I don't have enough words to describe how much satisfied I'm with the ending. I know there are alot of people who are angry after seeing tahomaru, his mother & jukai's (hyakki's foster father) death. Honestly I'm happy how they all ended up.
    For jukai- he always regretted what he did back at war for which he subconsciously helped people as much as he can till death.
    For the mother- she regretted & always felt like a loser for not being able to do do anything for his son. Besides at the end she decided after seeing the mama horse that she must see his son even if she has to die.
    ✴️So people who never had regretting type of depression will never understand how painful it is to live with life-threatening regret. Your mind constantly brings guilt to you each time you breathe. It makes you feel like you don't deserve to live on.So they constantly wish to be dead to end this neverending sufferings.So I'm happy that they finally got peace with death. Because although they did mistake, they tried their best to atone for their sins & felt constant regret whole time. And acc to Buddhism, I guess they are forgiven already so yeah.
    For tahomaru- I felt super angry when he followed the same mistake his dad did (asking to demon), but later I cried FOR HIM AT FIRST. If he survived, he would've regretted for whole life due to injustice towards hyakki. And I bet his dad would continue using him as his heir. But I think he didn't deserve the death so early.
    And for daigo- I literally grumbled like when he will die, why his death scene ain't coming 🤬. But when I saw him going crazy & regretting after hyakki letting him go,I was honestly sooo happy that he will live with regret, blame himself for his wife & son's death & be lonely for his rest of the life. He needs some torture before dieing so that he can be an embodiment of such a cruel, selfish mistake.

      Well I still m frustrated by tahomaru's death. And the fact that the mother and the foster parent of hyakimaru could have save him as well. It was selfish and cruel of the mom to decide for her second son the moment to die.
      He did nothing wrong but things for his people even if it's mean adoring the deal his dad made. He was conflict as well and even regret it but it was too early for him to die. I m sad for him

    The thing I loved most about this was the schism between Hyakkimari and Tahomaru, and ist also the reason why I call Dororo the "Ayn Rand anime" because what it comes down to in the end; is Altruism vs Justice.
    Tahomaru is not interested in power, nor is he afraid of his position as heir being usurped by Hyakkimaru, when he first learns of his older brother's existence, he feels nothing but sympathy for him, and when he sees his father send soldiers after him, he protest with the simple words "that is my brother!", he is disgusted by his father's past *abuse of Hyakkimaru, but he slowly comes to justify it, both out of a subconscious envy for his brother who occupied their mothers mind and affected their relationship, and a realization that even though Hyakkimaru was wronged, his being the land's patsy has allowed it to prosper when it was in peril before.
    Tahomaru's outward justification of his antagonism towards his brother is that Hyakkimaru must continue to suffer for the greater good, Tahomaru's philosophy is that of Altruism... only, he projects these ethics onto his brother.
    Hyakkimaru on the other hand has literally; only just learned to speak, and only months before; learned to hear a spoken language, one could say he is lacking the vocabulary to rationalize the twisted albeit understandable ethics of his father and brother. However, he still does know right from wrong, and he knows that he has been wronged. It was not his fault that the land of Daigo was plagued, he was never asked, he simply had his sight, his ears, his nose, his spine, his limbs, sense of pain, skin, and what other organs were too awkward to be shown in the story; stolen from him, and he has a one-track mind, to get them back, even if it means Daigo will suffer for it. Hyakkimaru's philosophy is not one of Altruism, but justice.

    When Tahomarou was first introduced with that same sharp evil eyebrows like that of his father, I thought he would be just another spoiled pampered egotistic mini-villain . But we are shown later on that, unlike his father who only cares about power and ruling, he legit cares for the well-being of the people in his homeland, which led him to pursue the death of his brother thinking that it's the only way for his people to survive and thrive. That care that he shows for his people made me root for him and his cause for a moment especially since Hyakkimaru at this point was going berserker mode, killing not just demons but also humans. However, I still don't like the idea of sacrificing one life for the many in this scenario because the people of Tahomarou's homeland aren't cursed. They are fully capable of changing their fate themselves. Hyakkimaru doesn't owe them his life or his body. Let them work hard for their own prosperity--same as all the other people from the other lands--without depending on the sacrifice of one who already suffered so much since birth. I like Tahomarou but I'm all for Hyakkimaru and his quest. I wished they didn't fight but worked together instead to defeat the demons and rule the land as brothers, inspiring their people to EARN their prosperity, perhaps with some help from Dororo and her inheritance.

    I was also EXTREMELY disappointed by Episode 15. Why do they let that director touch anything???? He should make his own stuff instead of tainting otherwise flawless anime.
    Anyway, Dororo is super underrated and I recommend it to anyone I can. It deserves more of a following.
