I’ve Finally Watched is back again with my review of the series…Dororo

DORORO: Season One anime 2019

This tragic heartwarming anime begins with a bloody unconscionable deal with demons. A Lord makes a deal for prosperous lands and fame by giving his first born’s body away to be eaten by those demons. But the babe’s mother prays for her son, deformed (deaf, blind, no limbs) but the last demon wasn’t able to finish him off.

OMG, this series had me yelling, sad, shocked, and crying for blood and vengeance. I literally mean I was yelling for the hero to kill them all.

Hyakkimaru, the hero left mutilated by a deal with the devil his father made is traveling the land killing demons with prosthetic knives for arms and legs. If he kills a great one, a body part is painfully returned to him. Along his journey he finds a companion a young kid orphaned by war. The two travel together, Hyakkimaru on a mission of getting his body back and Dororo to keep him human by being a devoted friend.

I loved this series and did not want it to end. It was bloody, had my emotions up and down, and had me falling for the hero even when he was a bloody skeleton newborn. The action, plot, and side stories were amazing.

MY REVIEW OF Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler.

This is a manga made into a series and my first exposure to these characters. I watched in on Netflix and it is dubbed in english.

Yumeko Jabami, a new transfer seems sweet and innocent. But looks can be deceiving. She embarks on this new chapter in her life with vigor when she realizes the competition she will have at this new school. A school that gambles the futures and fortunes of its student.

Gambling in Gambling High School is literally a way of life and will mold who and what worth you have. If you lose and can’t pay up, you are demoted from human to pet, which means you are basically nothing. But Yumeko arrives and shakes up the student counsel and the entire school.

Though, not my usual taste but I finished the first season in one sitting. The characters and their stories were engaging. Some of it is a bit Dark….but I welcome dark. This is a win for me and I can’t wait for season two. I may have to sign up for another streaming service to get this and more sooner.

Look of the Anime: 5
Plot: 5
Character Development: 4
Overall Anime: 4.5
