Netflix Lockdown Updates: Netflix To Stream Dorohedoro Outside Japan In May

While some countries are trying to recover from their losses, others are constantly fighting to get rid of this virus for good. With that being said, it doesn’t look like that the lock down will be lifted any time soon.

However, a good thing for you if you are quarantined, is that a lot of new shows are coming to online video streaming services like Netflix. 

With the rise of Netflix Party, Netflix is adding lots of new shows every day.

Netflix announced on Tuesday that it will begin streaming Dorohedoro anime on May 28.

The original manga is highly detailed art. When the news of an anime adaptation came out a few months back, many people were concerned about the quality.

Dorohedoro offers one of the rarest settings, which is violent, dark, confusing, and far from typical. It has many elements like magic, demons, curses, all this paired with dark comedy. 

Viz Media describes the story as:

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.

About Dorohedoro

Dorohedoro is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Q Hayashida. The series was licensed for an English-language release by Viz Media in 2009. It began distributing the manga digitally when it launched SigIKKI, the now-former online English version of Ikki magazine.

It tells the story of the amnesiac reptilian-headed Caiman working together with his friend Nikaido to recover his memories and survive in a strange and violent world.
