S5E4 - MAPPA's DORORO Review – The 2019 Modern Anime Remake

Fifty years after the original Dororo aired on TV, MAPPA brought Tezuka Osamu’s Dororo roaring into the 21st century with a radically different take – and it’s the next stop on our exciting Grand Tour! With a reimagined conception of Hyakkimaru, expanded roles for characters like Daigo Kagemitsu and Tahomaru, and a striking modern animation style, MAPPA’s Dororo is a worthy reinterpretation of a classic, and a fascinating point of comparison to the original. While our hosts disagree slightly on how effective they found the series’ overall approach, it comes highly recommended from both, and we enjoyed breaking it all down on today’s episode.

Enjoy, and come back next week as look at one of the strangest corners of Tezuka Osamu’s empire, and of anime in general: The Animerama film trilogy, consisting of 1969’s A Thousand & One Nights, 1970’s Cleopatra, and 1973’s Belladonna of Sadness.
