Dorohedoro Anime Sequel Teaser Visual
Based on the hit manga by Q Hayashida, the first season of Dorohedoro was directed by Yuichiro Hayashi (Attack on Titan Final Season, Kakegurui) at studio MAPPA and premiered in January 2020. Viz Manga publishes the manga’s official English version and describes the story:
In a city so dismal it’s known only as “the Hole,” a clan of Sorcerers have been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious “experiments” in the black arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Caiman, a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they’re hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they’ll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of “cleaners” into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds.
