Trying something new #dorohedoro

I've been told this show is an "ultraviolent horror/slice of life show," and I'm beginning to understand how. At the intersection of slice of life and horror, you often find surreal, slapstick violence

I think I'm going to like this world's magic. Messy, fantastical, and weird - not the kind of magic that can be tamed or understood #dorohedoro

The CG isn't great, but it's nice to see them using it to enable more active camerawork like this #dorohedoro

These backgrounds are absurdly beautiful. Look at this perfectly decrepit city #dorohedoro

This world's sorcerers are like, one part Grimms' Fairy Tales, one part Killer Klowns from Outer Space #dorohedoro

I love this world design. Such a neat mix of surreal fantasy and gritty, industrial utility #dorohedoro

These backgrounds are stunning. Art director Shinji Kimura is a legend - he's worked on classics ranging from Akira to Beautiful Dreamer, and was (unsurprisingly) also the AD for Blood Blockade Battlefront #dorohedoro

After a certain threshold, ultraviolence just loops around to goofiness and slapstick. Dorohedoro asks, "what if we built a charming quasi-sitcom at the far end of that process?" #dorohedoro

More visions of the city. These backgrounds are so rich in detail - I love the story conveyed by the last one, with the two fallen letters and the "L" appended to the end #dorohedoro
