MAPPA is set to continue production on this anime, having been responsible for Season 1.
Yuichiro Hayashi returns to direct Dorohedoro, having been the series director for Season 1 and even acted as the storyboarder for every single episode in Season 1.
Previously, Hayashi gained significant fame after being the series director of “Attack on Titan: The Final Season” and its finale movie, “Attack on Titan: The Last Attack” that was released on November 8, 2024.
The key visual contains Hayashi’s storyboards over the series’ iconic splatter art and the storyboards look to be from the upcoming season as they feature the character Risu and other Cross Eyes that have yet to be introduced in Season 1.
Dorohedoro Season 2 was officially announced on January 9, 2024 for the 4th anniversary of the anime.
Dorohedoro was a manga written and illustrated by Q Hayashida from November 30, 2000 to September 12, 2018 across three Shogakukan magazines, Monthly Ikki, Hibana, and Monthly Shōnen Sunday.
The series reached 23 volumes.
The manga would be adapted into an anime produced by MAPPA (Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man) on January 12, 2025 to March 29, 2020.
Season 1 was comprised of 12 episodes and six 5-minute-long original video animation (OVA) episodes bundled with the series’ second Blu-ray release on June 17, 2020.
The series was notable for having 6 ending songs from the same band, ((K)now Name), which also handled the soundtrack.
Dorohedoro is set in a bleak world called the Hole, where humans are targeted by Sorcerers for target practice and one of these humans, Caiman, is cursed for having a giant lizard head. Together with his friend, a gyoza shop owner named Nikaido, Caiman hunts down the sorcerers responsible for his curse.
