When his son Hyakkimaru is born 48 of his body parts are missing, having been distributed amongst the demons Daigo was indebted to. Although Hyakkimaru is nothing but a living husk his mother refuses to let him be killed, and instead sends him down the river in a basket. Eventually a kindly doctor discovers the baby and raises him as his own, building him a new body out of corpses and artificial artificial hardware. When Hyakkimaru gets older he decides to hunt down the body parts he’s missing and with the help of a thief named Dororo he meets on his journey he recaptures them one at a time and eventually grows strong enough to confront his father.

With a fresh storyline and careful casting, Dororo proves to challenge even modern hollywood films. Though the film is lower budget, it doesn’t leave a stinging sensation that most low budget films would. The computer generated demons are beautifully animated, alongside the magnetic storyline and exellent character portrayals.
Dororo is one of the more impressive movies I’ve seen so far.
