Today, I would like to talk about one of the renaissance masterpieces in January, this manga work has not only produced 26 episodes of black-and-white animation, but also PS2 games, movies, stage plays and other spin-offs, and is about to release a new anime TV version, the original work is Osamu Tezuka's 1967 serial juvenile adventure manga (unfortunately bad tail), counting that it has been 52 years.
The story of "Dororo" takes place in the middle of ancient Japan, telling the story of the male protagonist who was not born and was sacrificed 48 organs to 48 demon gods by his own father, the male protagonist without 48 organs was thrown into the river by his father (how much a great vendetta), and then the male protagonist with honey juice vitality was picked up by a doctor, and the doctor also made him a prosthetic organ to make the male protagonist complete, and also named the male protagonist a hundred ghost pills, because the male protagonist has this physical problem, it is easy to attract some evil spirits, in order not to hurt the doctor, So the male protagonist left the doctor and began to fight the 48 demon gods to get their organs back, and on the way met the thief Dororo dressed as a man (in other words, Dororo's life is also very tragic, and his parents can only survive by stealing), so the two become companions and begin the story of adventure.
Console players may know the game Dororo, released on the PS2 platform in 2004, and the plot of the game version of Dororo is different from the comic version, the design of the game is very interesting, the game screen is black and white at the beginning, only by defeating the second demon god to retrieve his eyeballs can he change back to the color world. In addition, the game's voice actor Dororo is Yue Otani, and Hyakuri Maru is Tomokazu Sugita. "Dororo" is a good game overall, interested can go to see the game's plot flow video, the game's ending is also better, prevent spoilers will not say more.
The original black-and-white anime "Dororo" was shown on television in 1969 and consisted of 26 episodes, but the old anime was not re-screened due to the advent of color television and some other reasons.
In January 2019, the "Dororo" animation was produced by MAPPA and Tezuka Production, directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi, and many of the original performances of the classic animation were performed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi, including Fukusei Kid, Crazy Horse 1/2, Rooker Kenshin, Full-time Hunter, etc., plus the script of Yasuko Kobayashi, the whole production can be said to be a stable one.
In terms of voice actors in the anime, Hiroki Suzuki, Iris Suzuki, Mutsumi Sasaki, Naoya Uchida, Shoya Chiba, Akio Otsuka, chie Nakamura joined the dubbing, in short, this work will certainly not disappoint, just chase it.
