So I subscribed to Netflix for the first time to watch this but it's not actually available??? What is the "Netflix Jail" mentioned in the OP, how are y'all actually watching this. Googling around I couldn't find anything comprehensible about a release date, what is going on here

Netflix is dumb and doesn't release shows until the end of the season. Feel free to :filez: the hell out of it in the meantime, I know I am.

Dang, that's infuriating. Thanks for cluing me in, I felt like I might just be missing something hunting around the UI.

Well, the Netflix version will be dubbed I think, so you do have that to look forward to when it eventually releases.

Make sure to check out Beastars when that is available as well, I think they're releasing at the same time or close to it.

One thing I like is how it seems En and the gang are sometimes more the main characters than Caiman is. Like, Caiman was just kinda here this episode while the sorcerers did their thing.

It's the one thing I've loved about the adaptation in comparison to the manga (no spoilers, don't worry) in that the Anime seems to realize that, while Caiman is absolutely part of the main characters, the early parts focused mostly on him and Nikaido, while in truth is that the series seems like it was always meant to be an ensemble piece.

Holy poo poo, Shin disassembled Hole's lines of defense all by himself. That's one reason why you don't do guilt by association. Congratulations to him for getting to first then second base in back-to-back episodes, I guess.

The baseball game was just as screwy and madcap as I was hoping for. I wonder what the deal is with Nikaido's admirer. My current guess is that he's some kind of weird duplicate of Caiman, because we don't have enough of those.

My current theory (pure speculation, haven't read the manga) is that the reason Caiman doesn't have any memories is that he was artificially created from scratch. Some kind of magical creation with basic knowledge and speech, but very simple and childlike personality. His body is probably Risu's body, but if you dispel magic from it it'll go back to being headless, rather then giving Caiman human face.

I like that Ebisu is an actual character now, but part of me does miss her getting Kenny'd every couple episodes.

So I was kinda mentally casting the eventual dub in my head at work today, and I think I came up with some good ones. It might just be Wataru Takagi, but I think Jalen Cassell would be good as Caiman. I've also got Ben Diskin as Fujita, Erika Harlacher as Ebisu, and I think I struck gold with D.C. Douglas as En. I'm kinda torn over Nikaido and Noi because I think Erica Mendez would be good for either of them and I dunno who I'd put as the other.

Erica Mendez would be basically perfect as Noi.

This show feels like it's falling into a pattern. Here's a social event, wacky hijinks ensue, and then some small progress with the main story is made. Does the writing get better or is it more of the same?

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

That's the general pattern but the story can definitely go wildly off of that pacing. I'm not sure we're likely to see much of that in the remaining episodes of the anime though

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

A slightly more accurate general pattern would be something more like: people participating in some bizarre worldbuilding -> worldbuilding leads to cute character interactions -> short term plot happens -> long term plot elements introduced -> next piece of bizarre worldbuilding

Dorohedoro is a big story where the characters drive the plot forward, rather than the plot dragging characters towards it, so yeah a bunch of it is "character A wants to investigate the Big Horrible Event, but they also gotta eat, so we're gonna see that first".

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

if people are clamoring for more main plot progress i suspect the anime is going to end right on the cliff of a whole ton of juicy plot-focused stuff. the slice of life-ness (for lack of a better way of describing the more character focused bits) doesn't ever really go away but it's much stronger at the beginning of the story, as the manga progresses the overall plot becomes a much bigger driving force than "an excuse to kaiman and nikaido to have a sorcerer world adventure." if you find yourself interested in where the story could go i'd definitely recommend reading the manga after the anime ends

"And the DICK?"

I saw some clips of this on YouTube randomly and it was so weird I was compelled to go marathon the manga. It’s great, but it weirdly gave me Johnny the Homicidal Maniac vibes a lot of the time.

E: to clarify, just aesthetically, there’s none of JTHM’s Hot Topic philosophy in Dorohedoro thankfully
