Anime Times Streams Dorohedoro Anime in India

Anime Times announced on Instagram on March 26 that it has added the anime based on Q Hayashida's Dorohedoro manga in India.

The first anime season debuted on Netflix in Japan in January 2020 with 12 episodes. Netflix streamed the season outside Japan in May 2020. Crunchyroll is also streaming the season in India.

Yuichiro Hayashi (Garo the Animation, Garo: Divine Flame, Kakegurui) directed the first anime season at MAPPA. Hiroshi Seko (Banana Fish, Mob Psycho 100, Vinland Saga) was in charge of the series scripts. Tomohiro Kishi (91 Days, Garo -Vanishing Line-) designed the characters. (K)NoW_NAME (Sakura Quest, Fairy gone) composed the music.

The staff hosted a world premiere screening of the first three episodes of the second season in Tokyo on March 22. The new season then debuted on Wednesday at 11:00 p.m. on various platforms "almost simultaneously worldwide." Netflix began streaming the second season of the anime in India on Wednesday. Crunchyroll is also streaming the season in India.

Most of the staff is returning from season 1, but Miho Sugiura is the art director for the new season. Itsuku Onishi has been promoted to the color key artist. Yuichiro Hayashi is returning to direct the new season at MAPPA. Tomohiro Kishi is returning as the character designer.

(K)NoW_NAME will perform both the opening theme song "Zettai Must Danmen" and the ending theme song "Return to Head." 

The new season was previously scheduled to debut in 2025.

Viz Media publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story in the first volume:

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.
