(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Series<\/strong>:\u00a0Dororo
<\/br><\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It<\/strong>: Amazon Prime<\/p>\n

The Pitch<\/strong>: A ronin named Hyakkimaru, born without limbs, facial features, or internal organs due to a pact with demons made by his father, roams feudal Japan with a young urchin named Dororo to defeat demons and gain back his body. Also he has swords for arms.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing<\/strong>: Dororo<\/em> is a ronin anime<\/a> with a grim tone and a deep history, stretching all the way back to 1967 when it was created by Osamu Tezuka. That\u2019s right, that Osamu Tezuka, the \u201cGodfather of Manga\u201d and the creator of highly influential children\u2019s manga like\u00a0Astro Boy<\/em> and\u00a0Kimba the White Lion<\/em> (the latter of which would be the alleged inspiration for\u00a0The Lion King<\/em>). So how did someone who was essentially the Walt Disney of Japan create a series as violent and grotesque as\u00a0Dororo<\/em>? That unlikely background is what makes the 2019 remake of\u00a0Dororo<\/em> so much more fascinating than your run-of-the-mill ronin anime. And\u00a0did I mention that the lead has swords for arms?<\/p>\n

Dororo<\/em>\u00a0is alarmingly dark for a series that was supposedly created for children. But its grim premise and feudal setting was a popular subject for \u201960s children, who flocked to\u00a0yokai<\/em> (or \u201cdemon\u201d) stories, in which brave warriors did battle with fearsome demons. And the title character of Dororo, a brash, cocky young orphan who brags that he\u2019s the \u201cgreatest thief alive\u201d made for an easier way into the story, which in the original manga and in the new series gets kind of overtaken by Hyakkimaru (interestingly, Tezuka intended to turn the series into more of a coming-of-age story for Dororo, but never finished his initial plans).<\/p>\n

Dororo<\/em> makes an interesting play on the strong, stoic warrior with Hyakkimaru, who is only strong and silent because he literally can\u2019t speak. Fighting is all he knows and was his only means of survival up until he met Dororo. The story follows him as he gains back pieces of his body \u2014 first his skin, his nervous system, his hearing \u2014 but it\u2019s really about him gaining a little more humanity each time, and learning the cost of someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Coupled with the strong sibling bond between Dororo, who ends up acting as Hyakkimaru\u2019s eyes and mouthpiece for much of the 24-episode series, you get an intriguing spin on the feudal era action series, with bits of comedy thrown in to give some breathing room to the drama, as well as examinations of gender roles and the devastation of war.<\/p>\n

Dororo<\/em>\u00a0was originally made into a 1969 anime that was criticized for its violence, but the 2019 remake leans into the grim aspects of\u00a0Dororo\u2019<\/em>s premise. Carnage and bloodshed are plentiful in the sleek 2019\u00a0Dororo<\/em>, which follows the same basic premise but highlights the sorrows of war in feudal Japan, focusing on the plights of everyday people who are butchered by samurai as much as it stages a thrilling fight between Hyakkimaru and the demon of the week. The result is one of the best ronin anime in recent memory.<\/p>\n
