Yoooo hope you all enjoy da video!! One of the coolest series ever so hopefully I can do it any justice at all. Like, comment, sub all that stuff to juice the algorithm, and hit the Patreon if you wanna be a real cool guy. See ya next time with either 1 of 2 videos I’m already cooking some things up, and thanks as always for any & all support!!
Her art in Dai Dark really shows those dark colors and amps up the dark aspect, but i just cant take my eyes off of it. So glad my favorite creator is covering the mangas i love!
One clarification, Nikaido wasn't doing the devil ritual, she swore off magic because of how dangerous it is and it fulfilled the ritual's requirement of not using magic for a year for the morphing process.
The thing I love about Dorohedoro is that there’s not really any bad guys, even the devils are likeable. I feel like the key of the series is the balance between shonen/action and straight up slice of life, it’s both intense and cozy at the same time. Never mind the fact that the art is so far beyond the majority of mangaka, it’s Katsuhiro Otomo level
...I mean, you can argue that, but it's right at the end where any clear, actual bad guys appear. Before that it's mostly people who have been fucked up in the worst ways possible throughout their life and decide to perpetuate it to others for one reason or another.
I completely get what you mean and agree, while completely disagreeing, on semantics: the crime syndicate are _very_ much bad guys, which is why, even as you kind of grow to love them, you dread them meeting with the other protagonists and the damage that will unfold. They are stylish, they are charismatic, but whether it's against other villains, or "good guys", their action aren't really excusable, in direct contrast to the more heroic protagonists' dubious actions.
This is literally what a dark fantasy should be. I loved how she made every group likable. You knew why each person was in the group, and why everyone liked each other. She found a way to make me not want anyone in any group to die lol I read this back in 2018 and was one of the few manga I sat and read from start to finish over 3-4 days.
Same! Read it all in three days. Absolutely loved it all. I have very very very minor criticisms but otherwise nothing but praise for it. Its top 3 of my favorite manga. It’s actually two on my list.
I love how terrifying and stupid the devils are at the same time. The strange dynamic Haru and Kasukabe have is fun in addition, I enjoyed the running joke about Haru's interest in singing, which eventually leads her to recording an album. I loved that, later on, you see the professor wearing a shirt with the name of the album on it. That little detail got a good chuckle out of me. Kasukabe aging in reverse with no acknowledgement until a decent time later was great also.
The only correction I want to make is that the En Family always all cared for eachother despite their unlawful nature, even their henchmen cried when En died and when the others were presumably dead, that's what I love about them
Don't forget his obsession to find and use time-traveling sorcerer simply because he wants to kill the men that kill his henchmen... Something you rarely found in "bad-guy"
When i first read it i though it was so damn new metal and reminded me of slipknot, then i heard that the mangaka was a fan and literally was slipknot fanfiction and it made so much sense
Detroit Simulator: The Manga. All jokes aside, i love this manga to death! Thank you for talking about this manga, you always give me a new perspective on series that i already love.
Those who dont listen to much electronic music wouldnt recognize it, but the anime incorporates not only rock/metal music, but also jungle. The song blaka smoko (the full version not being used in the show itself) Additionally, one of the songs not included in the show itself but a part of the soundtrack is a song by ambient artist shackleton which is a really deep cut. I suggest checking them out as well as more jungle like shitmat and foul play
Even though I finished reading this series around January 2021 all of the characters, insane plot points, and traumatic full page body horror illustrations have stuck with me. I love it 😤💕
Legit one of the most fun worlds ever written Anime is full with insane power levels but it's really unique to basically have all those overpowered characters just kinda be some dudes at the sides. Like the devils are the most powerful beings in the universe but the danger is really real by pissing them of with basic shit like fucking with one of their statues like they dont have better things to do. En is this larger than life mob boss but you still see him kinda just hanging out with his underlings that fear him, but also casually hang out with him too sometimes, also the fact that he shows a movie about himself to all of his employees. Just really love how they managed to make the most overpowered characters goofy idiots while it's never going into unfunny anime territory, it's actually endering and somehow feels realistic. Casually throwing in stuff like reanimation and time travel magic it really felt like a setting where everything was possible and somehow it still actualy works
@@j.2512 With the current isekai epidemic i wouldnt mind traditional fantasy like that but i get what you mean Feels like a lot of authors forget they can literally write about everything they want but most fall back on established fantasy concepts
Hells yeah! (Lol literally 😈) ...I just discovered this anime a couple weeks ago and now I'm 50 chapters in the manga. You seem to get it: my family is going through a tough time right now - we lost our jobs and it seems that the world is stomping on us...But it's NOTHING compared to the shit these characters are going through, and I absolutely love how they are almost all infectiously happy in spite of/because of their circumstances...it's like just because everything is going to, well, "hell" thats even more the reason to find joy where and however we can! I love this series, thanks for sharing!
This is the kind of series where when the big bad evil mob boss who turns people into mushrooms gets revived, it's a huge "Fuck yeah! The cavalry's here!!!" moment. Edit: the other most emblematic moment is when you realise Chidaruma is basically the god of this world, everything makes sense after that.
Glad you covered this! There's so much to love about this series between the powers, characters and overall aesthetics. It's also one of the very few stories where there's no one group I'm solely rooting for since nobody is objectively good or evil. One of the only other series I've felt that way about the cast is Golden Kamuy.
Yes! I ended up rewatching dorohedoro last year and loved it! It's always awesome when you have some so creative to make crazy wacky unique worlds like this one. And the relationships are so interesting and wholesome while society being so gruesome but goofy at times. I can't wait for season 2!
Ngl man your videos have been getting my ass through work. I've replayed your Bleach and Soul Eater videos non stop since finding your channel in January
Man this is one of my favorite mangas ever. Started reading in 2010 when I found it by accident and what a ride. Glad to see the anime is getting a 2nd season (eventually).
I’ve always felt that Dorohedoro’s world is strongest in the urban sprawl environments of the Hole and the Sorcerers realm. The dirt and grime of the environments have given me vibes of Kowloon in how dense and almost otherworldly it is because of the density. Nihei, Hayashida, Mayuzuki, Kishiro, Fujimoto, and even Hiroe all have that ability to make worlds that seem so familiar and yet completely alien through small details and insane plots.
I’ve been trying not to finish the Soul Eater video and now you come with this gem!!! I literally just watched this and I was hooked! Had to read the manga too. Can’t wait to hear your insight, I’m gonna burn right through this one 😅
Love to see my favorite manga and anime series getting some real attention. Been reading Dai Dark as well, and im absolutely down to follow it for the next 20 years.
God I love DHD, one of my favs, but one thing really threw it off for me and gives me a weird feeling every time I think about the setting; the fact that everyone is canonically doomed to be tortured for eternity in hell and there's nothing anybody can do about it. At least the devils are fun.
I read through Dorohedoro about 2 years ago, and loved it! Then watched the anime when it came out with my wife who likes anime, but can't be bothered to read manga For her sake really hoping the anime gets completed, because it was actually really good (in my opinion at least)
Honestly finished binge reading it today, started it yesterday. Chapter 41 was where I went to since I watched the 2020 anime. Man it was a blast just reading and seeing the insane visuals of the manga.
I randomly saw the anime. Freaking loved it so much, the concept the world the characters everything. Read the manga and loved it more. I love dorohedoro
Oh hell yea. I finished Dorohedoro a few months back, but honestly most of the story and characters didn't click with me. I always felt like i didn't get it or i was missing something in terms of themes and ideas. I hope this video gives more insight on what I missed.
Was saving this video for when I start Dorohedoro and now that I got the whole thing and am on volume 9 I broke and watched it minus the spoiler part. Banger as always man you fucking rule. I also read the Dai Dark "box set" and my god Hayashida just can't miss
I have NEVER seen a clip of Tremors out in the wild Or anywhere They've played the entire series on Spanish channels on cable But I've NEVER seen a trace of it on social media or RUclips Anyway thanj u for acknowledging their existence with a 2 second clip
You earned yourself a sub this was a great video. And yeah HNK is pain and suffering when following latest chapter but it is will all be over soon hopefully with an adaption continuation announcement (I'm looking at you studio orange please don't do season 3 Trigun in favor of this)
How high do you have to be in order to make something like this? Better yet, who is her dealer and where can I find the same breed of shrooms she is using? This is one of my all time favorites but I am restraining myself to read the manga since I am still hoping they will make the next season...
u mentioning blame! reminds me how there was this rumor that q hayashida was an assistant 2 tsutomu nihei (blame! mangaka) which she herself said she never was but she confirmed she loved reading it lol
Kinda mad you didn't even mention the best character Haze. That guy legit became one of the biggest forces in the plot without fightign power, he just was a cool guy and knew all the right people, not afraid to aks favours
I'm not sure if i agree that there's zero romance between Noi and Shin. I always felt like there was a bit of unrequited love coming from the Noi side. It certainly not overt but I felt that if Shin wanted there to be a relationship, it could happen. Probably just be what I want to happen lol!

I recommend golden kamuy. A group race to find lost gold. All characters are gray, and fucking crazy. Its a fun read
...I mean, you can argue that, but it's right at the end where any clear, actual bad guys appear.
Before that it's mostly people who have been fucked up in the worst ways possible throughout their life and decide to perpetuate it to others for one reason or another.
@@KuroeNezumiyou are talking the slug? Is it really a bad guy though? Even the big boss is not really evil, just amoral

There like the strawhats but more blood thirsty
Don't forget his obsession to find and use time-traveling sorcerer simply because he wants to kill the men that kill his henchmen... Something you rarely found in "bad-guy"
Dorohedoro is like a Grindhouse flick with a Writer that loves the series.
When i first read it i though it was so damn new metal and reminded me of slipknot, then i heard that the mangaka was a fan and literally was slipknot fanfiction and it made so much sense
dorohedoro is my favorite manga of all time, and is up there for my favorite stories of all time for sure. love this series so much
Detroit Simulator: The Manga.
All jokes aside, i love this manga to death! Thank you for talking about this manga, you always give me a new perspective on series that i already love.
Ayyyeee nice hope you enjoy!!
@@SlimeFancypants have you heard of Guyver biobooster armor Manga it’s really good I heard.
As a third worlder who lives in another country outside of America. Yes, it does look like Dorohedoro, (its worse)
I always assumed caiman was named after the crocodilian caiman, not the lizard named after the crocodilian caiman.
Dorohedoro one of the few series where I love every character. They all have charm to them that compliments everything to the world build around it.
Those who dont listen to much electronic music wouldnt recognize it, but the anime incorporates not only rock/metal music, but also jungle. The song blaka smoko (the full version not being used in the show itself)

shoutout dokuga, all my homies love dokuga
awesome vid, I gotta start back reading dai dark, I need some more hayashida in my life
I love all the cross eye higher ups so much

when i think fantasy its usually something like Dorohedoro, i'd wish fantasy nowadays wasn't just about the same tired Dnd dwarfs and elfs
@@j.2512 With the current isekai epidemic i wouldnt mind traditional fantasy like that but i get what you mean

Genuinely becoming one of my favourite youtube channels
Love to hear it 🫡🫡
LEEEETS GOOOO!! Hell yes they just announced season two and I’m so here for this video!
Ya I didn't know S2 was green lit, I'm stoked
Yooo Dorohedoro is my fav!! Great video - keep it up man!
Appreciate you!!
Ngl man your videos have been getting my ass through work. I've replayed your Bleach and Soul Eater videos non stop since finding your channel in January
I saw the anime in 2020 and fell in love and read the manga the night I finished the anime lol, definitely one of my favourite media’s ever produced.
That's a lot of fucking reading my man
Man this is one of my favorite mangas ever. Started reading in 2010 when I found it by accident and what a ride. Glad to see the anime is getting a 2nd season (eventually).
When ?
you're truly a legend for this ! aside from that really appreciated the track ids you've put. 10 across the boards for this VDO

Great video man, really nicely done. Hoped u could say some stuff about dorohedoro original soundtrack. The one Hayashida commissioned.
I’ve been trying not to finish the Soul Eater video and now you come with this gem!!! I literally just watched this and I was hooked! Had to read the manga too. Can’t wait to hear your insight, I’m gonna burn right through this one 😅
Ayeee love to hear that lol, enjoy!!
Finished in one sitting, great video and you didn’t even really spoil much!
Love to see my favorite manga and anime series getting some real attention.

Love your content man, the amount of work and time you put in and the quality, chef's kiss. love it man.
Appreciate you 🫡
Commenting to hopefully bless both you and this series with algorithm. You both deserve it.
Dorohedoro whips ass! Keep up the good work, dude

Man you're criminally under subbed, found you through the Gantz video and you haven't disappointed yet. Fucking love Dorohedoro
aah man i'm going to enjoy this, i wanted to hear someone talk about my favorite manga, the next season announcement made me happy
Love your channel mate!
Top 10 manga right hear
YYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH FINALLY A DOROHEDORO RETROSPECTIVE THANK YOU
Love the appreciation. It's certainly one of the best works in manga.
Thank you for your service mr pants
When the world needed him most😊
Back at it, once again 🙏🏼
He provided the most mediocore video ever
I just turned 30 in janurary, im here for you man 🖐
Love this series I’m so glad you made this video
didn’t expect this one
gotta keep ‘em guessing
Yoooooo, thank you man fir this video
Man I just finished reading volume 3 last night, what good timing.
You are in for a W I L D ride lol
i’m gonna shit my pants when season two drops but i gotta go back and reread it i love dorohedoro
Hype for S2
Wasn't an Assistant to Nihei Tsutomu??? That's why the art style seems inspired
I have a Kikurage tattoo on my calf
One manga I’ve seen that feels similar to the style of dorohedoro is called bones. It’s one wetoon and the wittier profile is exodus
DOROHEDORO LETS GO
You've convinced me to watch this, looking mad stylish
I’m sorry but did you just bust out the hotline Miami track? Dear God… majestic
We need season 2..🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Honestly finished binge reading it today, started it yesterday. Chapter 41 was where I went to since I watched the 2020 anime. Man it was a blast just reading and seeing the insane visuals of the manga.
Getting the first book and comparing it to the anime was a smart move. I just collected all 23. Best story Q Hayashida has made
I randomly saw the anime. Freaking loved it so much, the concept the world the characters everything. Read the manga and loved it more. I love dorohedoro
I love your videos bro
Oh hell yea. I finished Dorohedoro a few months back, but honestly most of the story and characters didn't click with me. I always felt like i didn't get it or i was missing something in terms of themes and ideas. I hope this video gives more insight on what I missed.
It’s absolutely a weird read that I can’t blame people for not vibing with, but it’s a personal 10/10 for me!
fuck, i love it so much. Gonna sub and watch other stuff :3
Was saving this video for when I start Dorohedoro and now that I got the whole thing and am on volume 9 I broke and watched it minus the spoiler part. Banger as always man you fucking rule. I also read the Dai Dark "box set" and my god Hayashida just can't miss
36:43 Natsuki's death broke my heart, man. 😭
I have NEVER seen a clip of Tremors out in the wild
Or anywhere
They've played the entire series on Spanish channels on cable
But I've NEVER seen a trace of it on social media or RUclips
Anyway thanj u for acknowledging their existence with a 2 second clip
23:30 There is no debatably, Chota is 100% gay as hell for En
i have been trying to remember who ya talk like for so long, your way of speaking is like the exact same as TheRussianBadger
like not exact exact but there are similarities
You earned yourself a sub this was a great video.
And yeah HNK is pain and suffering when following latest chapter but it is will all be over soon hopefully with an adaption continuation announcement (I'm looking at you studio orange please don't do season 3 Trigun in favor of this)
DOROHEDORO MENTIONED WOOOOHOOOOO🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for this great video.
I loved the manga, but I've been almost afraid to make time for the anime, strange as that sounds.
YEAAAAAA!!! ready for s2
SAAAME
i love the name dorohedoro, the name legit translates to mud-sludge. cant get more metal than that
Always down to check out a channel with no problem wading into Dorohedoro, you rate it quite accurately
Bro can you link the music for this video? Absolutely captures the vibe of the manga/ani
kaiman dorohedoro my beloved
How high do you have to be in order to make something like this? Better yet, who is her dealer and where can I find the same breed of shrooms she is using? This is one of my all time favorites but I am restraining myself to read the manga since I am still hoping they will make the next season...
Finally
love dorohedoro hopefully they end up finishing the anime at some point since the manga is so good
sick
Have you heard Guyver biobooster armor manga it’s really good.
The ending is probably the funniest fucking thing in existence.
i love dorohedoro
u mentioning blame! reminds me how there was this rumor that q hayashida was an assistant 2 tsutomu nihei (blame! mangaka) which she herself said she never was but she confirmed she loved reading it lol
I think we should pronounce it the way I did before watching this video. Doro He Doro
DOROHEDORO MENTIONED ALL 25 DOROHEDORO FANS ARE GONNA LOVE THIS
Kinda mad you didn't even mention the best character Haze.
That guy legit became one of the biggest forces in the plot without fightign power, he just was a cool guy and knew all the right people, not afraid to aks favours
Lessss gooooohhhh!!!!!
New slimy
Somehow I had no idea Q Hayashida was a woman, that makes Dorohedoro even better.
Clicking your vid then immediately m clicking out to pulverize your visibility!
Jk hi Otou-San 🙋🏻♂️
Some suggestions/anime I’d like to see you cover
Death Note
Psycho Pass
JOJO
"What did the guy inside tell you?"
I'm not sure if i agree that there's zero romance between Noi and Shin. I always felt like there was a bit of unrequited love coming from the Noi side. It certainly not overt but I felt that if Shin wanted there to be a relationship, it could happen. Probably just be what I want to happen lol!
It kinda feels like Noi and Shin are banging off screen but the story made them get too busy to cuddle
You should cover some of Nihei stuff on your channel
Absolutely on the list, I looooove his art & storytelling style
@@SlimeFancypants you re the GOAT MAN
parasite eve theme music 😮
Only the best 🫡
What music did you use for this vid?
The end gives me nukma high
you also forgot to say that Q Hayashida is a massive soulsborne fan
While Kaiman and Nikaido are the main characters, I would go out to say that Shin and Noi could also be called main characters as well.
