I am the third person that finished this anime today on this subreddit.
ok, ok, hear me out, It's not bad, BUT.
chapter 1: MIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (also centipede.)
so, I'm not against character deaths, but this one was a bit cliche, It felt a bit forced, Biwamaru's leaving, and Hyakkimaru's persistence to fight the worm demon, the sequence of event leading to Mio's death made it feel less like a death and more like a canon event, an unavoidable cutscene, that part where you see 50 company logos before the movie starts.
then the centipede mini arc, It's just poetic, some, not all, but some of the people that defend Daigo's actions wouldn't support the village actions in the centipede mini arc, it's exactly the same, village sacrifices one person, village prospers, I'm sorry but If you support one action but not the other, you're biased.
chapter 2: WHY IS EVERYONE SO WEAK? (also Itachi.)
I find this unreasonable, but It took a legion of armored Samurais to fight that Crab, just for Hyakkimaru to come and kill it with one slash, I'm sure we don't have to make everybody that's not Hyakkimaru and Biwamaru be so ass at fighting, and does anyone know why Dororo treats Itachi like an old friend, like omg my blood was boiling during that arc, It's unreasonable, Dororo teaming up with Itachi is supposed to be out of necessity, and Dororo shouldn't be smiling and acting so friendly...I don't hate forgiveness, but Itachi didn't change, why forgive him.? he didn't deserve that treatment.
chapter 3: DAIGOOOOOOOOO!!! (also premise.)
so, here's my opinion, Daigo is not a good person, but the deal was good, just by taking aside Daigo's goals and what he did as a person, the deal itself was a good deal.
In my opinion, a better premise for the story would have been that body parts don't matter, instead of "I'm gonna kill everyone, ha ha ha, MY body parts muahahaha." and whatever, I'm not saying Hyakkimaru doesn't deserve a normal life, and yes he's a 16 year old so his actions shouldn't be 100% logical, but I still think this shouldn't be the lesson that you teach your viewers, I know that he forgave Daigo but that, that's just shit, straight out of the horse's ass, I'm advocating for an ending without body parts, but forgiving Daigo is too far fetched tbh.
I think that's it, this is my opinion about Dororo.
final rating: 6/10, and just to clear up something for people that have ratings confusion, something being 6/10 doesn't mean the story is 6/10, the characters are 6/10, the animation is 6/10, that's not how it works, this is not how you rate anything and not how you should look at ratings.
