The production for Dorohedoro Season 2 was announced last year, and many are already wondering when it is coming out.
Fortunately, there have been recent announcements that provide Dorohedoro fans with a release window for the anime. Let’s find out more about that below!
When Will Dorohedoro Season 2 Be Released?
Fans of MAPPA’s Dorohedoro who have been eagerly awaiting a second season have just received exciting news about its release!
The anime’s official website posted on January 12 the announcement that Season 2 of Dorohedoro will be coming out in 2025.
A new, colorful key visual that depicts the show’s wild nature was also included in the announcement.
MAPPA will still be animating the second season of mangaka Q Hayashida’s acclaimed work. Director Yuichiro Hayashi will also return for the series, and he has something to share about Dorohedoro Season 2’s production as posted on the website:
“Thank you all for waiting so long! The anime Dorohedoro is finally coming back! This time, it’s even more chaotic, anarchic, and slasher-like! We’re powering up even further.”
The director also said that for those who haven’t checked out Dorohedoro, now is the perfect time to watch it before the second season begins airing.
Aside from the announcement and the teaser visual, it is not yet known when Season 2 of Dorohedoro will officially debut.
Released five years ago, Dorohedoro's first season succeeded in immersing viewers in a gritty world unlike any they had seen before, yet one they would be eager to explore.
Much like director Hayashi mentioned, Season 2 will likely feature even more crazy, over-the-top, and brutal scenes, staying true to the tone of the first season.
Since the first season ended before things became even more intense, fans can expect an even greater mix of mystery, action, and humor as we dive back into Kaiman and Nikaido’s unpredictable world.
Why You Should Watch Dorohedoro
2020 has offered many great anime titles, such as Beastars, Jujutsu Kaisen, season 2 of Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and so on. Among these popular series, Dorohedoro has become a niche title, perhaps due to its CG animation style and dark themes.
However, those who love dark humor and gore will surely find Dorohedoro right up their alley.
Dorohedoro's worldbuilding and character lore are its strongest suits. Even those who aren’t fans of the genre or art style have become hooked after giving the series a try.
If you're wondering where to stream Dorohedoro, all 12 episodes are available on Netflix. The streaming service describes Dorohedoro as follows:
“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.”
