Dororo Holiday High Score Drama Recommendations

《Dororo》 is one of the most popular animations. This drama has attracted the attention of a large number of viewers and has also achieved considerable success in terms of plot and actor performance. It can be called a successful masterpiece..Today the editor will talk about the topic of Dororo.

I originally opened this show with the idea of ​​casually watching it, but I fell in love with it after watching it for just two minutes.

Production Team

The reason is very simple. The original work of this series is Osamu Tezuka!If you get to know Osamu Tezuka, it's easy to become his “Fukiko”.Who is Osamu Tezuka?The God of Japanese Comics. I used to see the most awesome person in a certain industry calling him the "Father of XXX" and it was already a big deal, and Osamu Tezuka is the God of Japanese Comics.It is really no exaggeration to call him a god. Osamu Tezuka laid the foundation for the development of the entire Japanese animation industry chain. In terms of painting style and narrative skills, it is not a matter of making him a god. The unwritten habits of the Japanese comics industry are also influenced by Osamu Tezuka.For example, Japanese animation does not lip-sync like American animation. This is because Osamu Tezuka did not have money at the beginning of the development of the comics industry to save costs.His most famous work is Japan's first multi-episode TV animation - Astro Boy.

In addition to national works such as Astro Boy, Osamu Tezuka developed in an all-round way and created the famous “erotic trilogy”, 《One Thousand and One Nights》, 《Cleopatra》,《Sad Bella Turner》.Especially the last one - the sad Bella Turner - has a lot of erotic elements combined with the Black Death and religious elements, which makes it extremely dark.The Fire Bird created by Osamu Tezuka is recognized as the highest masterpiece in Japan today.A question on Zhihu is, is there a greater comic than Firebird?The answer was no, and he said bluntly - Fire Bird - it simply didn't look like a work drawn in this dimension.

In the resume of Osamu Tezuka, Dororo is very special. It was serialized in 1967. Later, the parents association complained because the comic content was too dark and cruel, and the work had to be cut in half.Later, in 1969, updates were resumed.Such an ill-fated work was well-received after it was made into a TV animation in 1969. Later, it was made into a film and television series, and even a game.I am not from that era and have never played the game Dororo, but I saw someone in the Douban comment section saying that the game Dororo brought back his childhood memories.Now fifty years later, he has renovated this anime again, and it is like an old tree blooming.

Just by looking at the development history of Dororo, we can tell that this is definitely a good work. After all, a work can be adapted from comics, animation, stage plays, movies to animation and then remake.It has a lifespan of fifty years and has not become outdated. This has proved that the original work of Dororo is really very good.As long as the main creator faithfully follows the original work and doesn't seek death, then the new version - Dororo - will definitely not be any worse.If the creators work harder, it will be very easy for Dororo to become a masterpiece.Fortunately, the creative team of the new version of Dororo is quite reliable, and the script is written by Yasuko Kobayashi, the Warrior of Love.I feel relieved after seeing this script. Yasuko Kobayashi is the master of Death Note, Attack on Titan and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!Kazuhiro Furuhashi is the supervisor. His most famous previous work is - Rurouni Kenshin. It just so happens that this time - Dororo - Hyakkimaru is also a character who uses a sword. Meeting such a supervisor is a professional counterpart.ah.The production company is MAPPA. Among the fans are professional MAPPA fans. I don’t know much about this company, but their Yuri on Ice is really popular.With such a good production team on the stall, what else do you need for a bike!It is natural that Douban can get a super high score of 9.3.

Synopsis

《Dororo》Although it is called Dororo, the protagonist of the story is actually Hyakkimaru. In a war-torn era, people were in dire straits.As a ruler, Hyakkimaru's father made a deal with the Demon God in order to end the war as soon as possible. As long as the Demon God gave him power, he was willing to sacrifice anything.In the end, he did gain the power of the devil, but he also sacrificed his son Hyakkimaru.Hyakkimaru has been a monster since he was born. He has no limbs, no skin, no eyes, and is just a ball of breathing flesh.Abandoned by his father, Hyakkimaru met a kind-hearted carpenter who fitted him with wooden prosthetics, a wooden mask and eyes.So when I was watching the episode, the barrage kept blasting Hyakkimaru, which made him look like the male version of Alita in the ancient war-torn times!

Hyakkimaru has no vision, hearing or pain, but he can see the color of the soul, so he can walk.Hyakkimaru has been able to see ghosts and monsters since he was a child. Once he accidentally killed a demon and found that he had grown legs.So here comes the most powerful setting of this series. When his father asked Hyakkimaru to sacrifice, the demon took away Hyakkimaru's body and limbs, and every time Hyakkimaru killed a demon, he could take back one of his own organs.In the first episode, the skin on his face grew, and then he developed a nervous system to gain intuition, and Hyakkimaru felt pain for the first time.There were 48 demons set in the original work, but due to the length of the animation, the number was reduced to 12.

《Dororo》It tells about two lines. Hyakkimaru kills the devil and takes back his body, and Hyakkimaru's father tries his best to end the war.But this setting has been the source of tragedy from the beginning. The power of Hyakkimaru's father comes from the devil. Once all the devils die, Hyakkimaru's father will not be able to control the situation, which will lead to an even more miserable situation for the people.Hyakkimaru didn't know all this. His original intention was just to find his own body and make himself a more complete person.So - Dororo - in this work, the issue of whether Hyakkimaru was right to kill the demon has been controversial since the beginning of the comic. The new version of the animation also has this controversy. After 50 years, everyone is still arguing about this issue.

Going back to the original question, the protagonist of - Dororo - is Hyakkimaru, why is the title called - Dororo -?Dororo is a little thief who disguises herself as a man. When she appeared on the scene, there was always a question about whether she was a boy or a girl!?He must be a boy to be so cute.When Dororo was in trouble, Hyakkimaru came to the rescue, and the two of them got together by chance. Although Dororo had been cheating and stealing for a living, she was kind-hearted and always took care of Hyakkimaru.The title - Dororo - is because he happens to be the only bright color in this dark and cruel series. Compared with other characters who are bitter and hateful, he is simply a girl with vitality.

《Dororo》The best part lies in the details. How to show that the war continues and the people are in dire straits?Directly drawing a large number of corpses is one way, but side descriptions are sometimes more convincing.When Dororo was caught stealing, Dororo said that it was so naive to believe in children in this era.One line clarified the background of the era, and the screenwriter worked hard to carve out the story.In addition, there are a lot of details, such as the sound of Hyakkimaru's legs are different when he walks, and the steps are one deep and one shallow, because one of Hyakkimaru's legs is a real leg and the other is wooden.caused by the legs.

Of course, this kind of renovated work will inevitably be compared with the old work, and many viewers are not very satisfied, but overall - Dororo - has a very high degree of completion.And in order to make this work more relevant to the times, a lot of “popularization” treatments have been done. For example, his OP is in mixed English. I think it is necessary to let young people see the classics, and it is really good to listen to.So I can’t understand why I saw a negative review in Douban’s short review because of the OP.

Okay, this is all about Dororo. If you like to follow dramas and watch dramas, then please continue to pay attention to the line class. We will bring more exciting content in the future to help you deepen your understanding.Understand the mysteries of the plot and appreciate film and television works better.
