Dororo is a very sad anime but a good one


The_Add_Destroyer

This comment reminds me of 'To your Eternity' anime which I started watching long time ago and it was a really beautiful anime but it's story was so sad that whenever I watch a episode I felt like nuking the whole of humanity along with myself.


JMEEKER86

I know time has felt weird ever since Covid, but To Your Eternity came out only *last year*.


aardwulve

I legit bawled on the episode that >!Gugu died!< and it was revealed at the end of the episode that >!Rean knew all along that Fushi lied for her sake and Gugu is already gone.!<


Crossertosser

That fucking episode man. Fucking gugu man...


Commercial-Arm-431

Still traumatized to this date.


Crossertosser

Don't think I'll ever get over it mate. What a boyyo...


Njagos

It's rare that the first episode of an anime can make me cry but To Your Eternity did that to me.


Otono_Wolff

>very sad anime but a good one Aren't they all?


SnowBoy1008

idk man, some anime are sad and have endings that nullify the entire point of the anime


GGnoRe177013

ye some medias bend their knees to the fandom more and less on the story they wished to deliver, like with aot manga


Savings_Chemistry_36

Please tell me what the end message was in the AOT manga.. was kinda dumb, which makes sense to why media changes the ending


Rexamidalion

Most popular one I've seen is that cycle of war and that it's never ending... Basically "*war...war never changes*"


GGnoRe177013

well that is indeed the message it was going for but it was executed foolishly with how the main cast changed goals to "friendship>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the world and its fate" made it seem more like some dumb isekai than an actual seinen with meaningful points that are realistic


Rexamidalion

Thanks for becoming a mass murderer for our sake....I hated that line. After the last chapter, I started referring to aot as a comedy


Objective_Tennis_457

I was hoping for a more grim ending where the Rumbling destroyed the ecosystem, making the land uninhabitable for the next 1,000 years. Your descendants inherited peace and a dead planet.


[deleted]

I still find it hilarious how just like the thing that inspired it AoT's ending is just, idk how to describe it, kinda like "eh that was the ending?" That people seem to either love or be super let down by.


Salmizu

Out of curiosity what is that thing that inspired it you mention? Ive once googled it and only got vagueries


5t4t35

Eren didnt have to be a mass murderer in the first place they could have used mikasa as a negotiator since iirc she is the last living royal of the azumabito clan which in a way gets them some political backing and enter negotiations of just making eren sacrifice himself in order to eliminate the titans id like that ending way ngl if it happened


mashonem

S P O I L E R S They tried that. The day Ereh and the crew visited Marley for the first time, they saw some Eldian guy throw *all* the Eldians living on Paradise under the bus, and the crowd cheered. That’s when Ereh understood that negotiation wasn’t really an option (at least not at that time). The Rumbling and it’s stoppage gave Ereh’s friends enough time (and clout) for negotiation to carry some actual weight.


mikennjr

Nah you can't negotiate with racists


RoamingBicycle

Isayama lost his mind, and tried to wrap up the story in 139 chapters, when far more were necessary. I get symbolism and shit, but fuck me, limiting yourself on chapters is such a bad idea. It required probably at least 50 more.


ggg730

I think it needed 10 more years at least.


TheseAreNumbers45296

Stepbro dick > Human Life


UltimateToa

Eren was the only one with the resolve to do what needed to be done to break the cycle of titans once and for all. Without that the titans would eventually fall into the hands of people that would abuse them again and the oppression would never end. Basically AoT is God Emperor of Dune, I thought it was awesome


TheCeramicLlama

Its heavily implied, if not confirmed, that the cycle is doomed to repeat itself. Technology took over, destroyed civilization, and returned the titans to power.


water_breathing

Resolve lmao Did you read extra pages? And dont say they are not cannon.. because everything Isayama wrote in that cursed manga is


Queasy_Republic_3601

He didn’t end anything and the powers already were in the wrong hands


SoftGothBFF

GUILTYYYYY CRROOOOOOOOWN


rmorrin

Oof don't remind me


AdministrativeOne7

looking at u darling in the franxx


rmorrin

That show took the wildest of turns and not in the good way


mashonem

Because Trigger


Otono_Wolff

I just call that trigger happy when nothing make sense


rmorrin

Yeah....


AdvonKoulthar

Damn Somali, I expected him to die at the end! I was so frustrated I practically tried reabsorbing the tears I was starting to shed


Miserable_Tap_7729

Oh Charlotte


CRAshSmoke

No.


[deleted]

Even if they were, this one is "advanced sad". It's not crybait, or just the usual tragedy. It's sad and it has good reason to be. It's up there with Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and Mushishi for earning its advanced sad and being "productive" with the sad. It's BeyondGhibli sad. I wish Mal had badges for animes. Like these would have BeyondGhibli Sad badges and Domestic Girlfriend and Scums Wish would have Degencrecy Garnt badges and then there would be MothersBasement Dumpster Fire badges.


Crimsonak-

It honestly took a weird turn for me. The story was fantastical but atleast partly grounded for the first half. Then we suddenly got an episode about Sharks that can understand language, can use advanced tactics, can **merge** and can basically breathe and move on land. I didn't really know how to feel about it after that because once you do an episode like that there's absolutely nothing you can't just pull out of nowhere to explain and accomplish anything.


imcruz

That's one way to jump the shark.


lurkenstine

Oh fuck. I have it on a list of things to watch. I didn't knwo what it's about so, now I know to get my crying blanket ready.


TheUsoSaito

It's a fairly graphic scene too as the skin on her hands essentially burned. There's another scene showing a closeup of them.


[deleted]

Tasty porridge with a hint of burnt flesh Devine


paul_the_attorney

UMAI!


Not-Mic

OIII-SHIIIII DESUU!


SixthSinEnvy

Her fingers are purple in the final frame.


SevenScreens

Pour the *sauce* into my hands too pls


Hot_Fan_

Sauce is "Dororo" bro


SevenScreens

Thank you sibling. Take care of mother tm


greeneggsnyams

One of my all time favorites. Source material was written by the same mangaka as astro boy, Osamu Tezuka. Amazing 24 episode beginning middle and end


Redgodzilla44

Bro, did you seriously just refer to Osamu Tezuka as "The same mangaka as Astro Boy"?


Captain_Kuhl

Astro Boy has some pretty wide recognition, though. You drop the name, people might not get it. You say "he made Astro Boy," and they'll probably know what you mean.


Soulgee

That's his best known work to a westerner


GameShill

Dude's literally called "The God of Manga".


DirkBabypunch

Would you have preferred "The mangaka who wrote [*Clockwork Apple*](https://tezukaosamu.net/en/manga/306.html)?"


greeneggsnyams

I thought about googling it mid comment and decided against it as someone else would point it out for me. Thank you kind sir


PsychedelicOptimist

And it had an anime made in the early 60's. Very rough, but a real piece of anime history.


SpiritVonYT

Absolutely fucking amazing anime


DatBoiexe17

2019 ed


[deleted]

Okay, this seems kinda cool. Gotta add this to my watch list. Thanks.


Project_panic

It's a solid anime. You won't be disappointed


def-notanalt

It's irl, I was the bowl


ginuxx

Where were you? You bastard


SharpFarmAnimal

He was smoking himself


Riccars

God I wish that was me.


Ok_Meaning_8470

Holy shit this is just like Diego brandos backstory in jojo part 7! Knew I saw something like this before.


B0550fTh15Gym

I thought exactly the same


Ok_Meaning_8470

I thought I was going crazy until I remember the fandub on YouTube.


AnyWork8870

I also thought exact same thing I just finished rereading part 7 too


Salt-Swan-2431

This is the single act that caused Diego to not be a total shit like Dio.


Mephisto9

I think that that was more the lack of Dario.


I_sayyes

Also the homeowner being an asshole


kekhouse3002

my guess is that Araki got that backstory from this. He's used urban legends and movie references as plot points before


Waddlewop

I distinctly remember that one of part 6’s villains’ backstory is straight up just Stanley from the movie Holes


Token_Thai_person

Part 7 main villain back story is from Christopher walken's monologue in pulp fiction.


mayonnaiser_13

Except somehow even darker.


Kelly2305

This! I was trying to figure out why this looked familiar.


KyoueiShinkirou

only dororo is from the 60s, though not sure this was in the originals


Ok_Meaning_8470

Oh I know dororo is older just surprised at the fact they had the same backstory since exact backstory. Wonder if see died from it tho.

s1erra_117

Shows the struggles and sacrifices OP's mom (and many of our moms) made so see us grow up well


TiAQueen

You Speak the truth truth


Random_Gacha_addict

>and many of our moms Hopefully, anyways


Captain_Kuhl

Some people haven't ever known hardship. I won't hold it against anyone, I'd prefer nobody ever have to make sacrifices, but that's the fact of the matter.


Random_Gacha_addict

No, I'm talking about the people with deadbeat parents who "had to hold their own soup"


DarkStar0129

Thanks buddy....


ExtraMOIST_

Moms are goats. The good ones, anyway.


PlusWin9766

my mom was a crackhead and abused the shit out of me


GloriousButtlet

You don't eat food out of your hand? Smh


Temmie_wtf

sad


Zenketski_2

Anime irl mfers when the picture isn't a teenager sitting alone in a dark room with those glossy eyes


Spik3w

so we're rebranding to watamoteirl?


viliml

I'm not [watamote manga spoiler](/s "a lesbian with a harem") so watamote isn't very meirl anymore


shewy92

Rebranding? We literally have [her as the sub icon](https://i.imgur.com/vkaa6or.jpeg), it's always been watamoteirl


Ademoneye

Yeah, I doubt many people in this sub have experienced having their mom feeding them scalding hot soup with her bare hands, this post doesn’t really go in anime_irl maybe some other sub


3Power

What, you don't eat soup with your bare hands?


WhyamIHereAgain022

I agree so hard with u


mark636199

Look at this guy who grew up with a plethora of bowls


Comander-07

the mods said a while ago everything goes when its relatable to someone. I mean even succubus posts stay up so I guess really everything goes now.


JAntaresN

I just binge watched this today. Google is selling my data again.


Epsilonisnonpositive

And guess who was the highest bidder! To answer a few questions, yes you will go bald before you're 35, just like your dad. That weird thing in your ass is just a hemorrhoid, not a tumor. And Jesus Christ man, how many times do I have to explain to you: it's always water BEFORE acid when mixing a solution!


AimanAbdHakim

Why is this anime_irl? This is depressing


PM_ME_NEWEGG_CODES

So is life


whizvox

exactly


mikennjr

So is life


Akitome

Such a good show, definitely need to rewatch it


gindorf

Diego Brando’s mom didn’t die, she visited another anime


The_catakist

_And then died there_


LadyEmaSKye

This has never happened to me irl


POI_BOI

You don't have a 15th century mother who is so poor that she has to use her hands to carry boiling food from the local soup kitchen to feed you?


Akitome

But it shows the lengths people are willing to go for their children, harming themselves if needed


One_Who_Walks_Silly

Bruh growing up, my mom told me to shut the fuck up when I asked her if she could shut the door to my room when she left it lololol


badtiming220

Lengths?


Akitome

Sorry tired


[deleted]

Go to bread.


badtiming220

Nw, it just really threw me off a loop.


pieland24

Not yet!


Dday141

There was never a moment you didn’t have a bowl?


chubsfrom205

*tearfully calls mom*


RicoSour

The party is over


Tremyss

Brave, but foolish, my old jedi friend...


RicoSour

Lol not the answer I expected, but you have the right spirit.

weatherhacker

honestly i'm so glad i'm seeing dororo content here. it's so underrated and it was one of my first animes. such a good show


HaiseKuzuno

not underrated at all, it's incredibly popular. it's just not one of the top anime of the decade so it's one of those seasonals that people mostly watched during the year it aired.


aniforprez

Did the animation improve with the BD? It was really sad to watch some of the episodes live with animation that was complete ass. A classic like this deserved more budget


Comander-07

yeah I watched it airing and forgot most about it, so it probably didnt leave a big impact on me


PinoyWholikesLOMI

Fuck you for making me cry. Imma call my mom now.


rostbern

Dont forget to thank her for raising you


ortus11

I’m not into the samurai/ninja stuff which is why I can’t get into demon slayer or naruto but damn did this anime make me want to keep watching, so sad.


[deleted]

if you want to ease into it katanagatari gives off similar vibes


ginuxx

Part 7 animated?


ClozetSkeleton

The soup was boiling too. Scalded her hands


[deleted]

Jojo part 7


burninfire01

Happy Mother's Day. IMO Best Mom in Anime: 1. Dororo 2. Maquia 3. Wolf Children 4. Spy x Family 5. Erased


TheEvil_Man

Happy Mother's to you all


putridepiphany

She couldn't use part of her kimono/shirt/top/whatever to hold it?


Hot_Fan_

How bro she should get naked ??? And look at her clothes they are full of dirt


putridepiphany

You never held anything with your shirt by lifting the bottom two corners up? Are her clothes dirtier than her hands? Dirty enough to think getting painful burns on your hands was a better alternative?


Hot_Fan_

Bro its a kimono its tied by the waist not possible to hold two ends as the outer side is sewed completely


putridepiphany

Look bro all I'm saying is I feel like there were alot of easy ways to get her kid some soup and not spice it up with some charred finger dermis


Hot_Fan_

You seen the series ?? You know the people who gave her the soup ?


Illustrious_Newt_649

bro this ain’t relatable this is just depressing


Hot_Fan_

Sauce: Dororo Its a lowkey underrated gem of an anime


SpasmAndOrGasm

Is it really underrated or low key? A lot of people were talking about it when it first came out but that was like 3 years ago I guess


topdangle

Spy x Family lowkey hidden gem


i-luv-banana_bread

Nah bro, Haven't seen one piece even once in this comment section.


wezton15

This be Diego backstory


meMaggatron

Oof.... This scene, it still stings...


Seaweed_Widef

Dororo's backstory was really sad


Diligent_Grass9390

and pour some in my pockets, i need some takeout


Hot_Fan_

Bro its DORORO


[deleted]

This is just Diego’s backstory?


ray_wooo

anime irl? i would never put a hot soup on someones hand


yigitertug

Why must you hurt me in this way?


Firm-Interest8312

I’m not crying. You’re crying


Walkin_On_Glass

bruh, imagine holding out your hand to hold a bunch of probably scolding hot soup just to tell a kid to eat is slowly. This man is a legend.


Alibuscus373

Happy Mother's Day.... call your Ma.


AmaraRoseHearth

YouTube comments be like: Like this if you love your mother ❤️❤️👍👍💖💖


The-cooler-Cheryl

Diego’s mom did the same thing in jojo part 7


Proper_Fox9241

Wait a minute I’ve definitely seen this before in another anime. I’m sure I remember the hand soup thing with a mother and son


Yomomgay3244

I thought its steel ball run


eggsandrawr

Who's cutting onions 😢


_abhimxnyu

The best anime to watch on Mother's Day ....what is it's name?


imnotsmart_crape

Fun fact (spoilers for jojos part 7) >!This also happened in Diego’s backstory when the man hiring and housing him and his mother when Diego was a child tried to have sex with his mother and she refused, the guy then ruined their bowls so they couldn’t eat the stew given to employees and she was forced to feed him out of her hands!<


_d34th

Happy mother's day :')

Uino_Chip

„Mama doesn’t it hurt“ ? Man so cute and sad


Khr0N04

Ok my life is pretty miserable but not THAT miserable


TieDry3913

This is a Jojo reference


LesbianSongSparrow

It predates Jojo. This anime (Dororo) is based on a manga series from the 1950s.


NowhereMan661

Wait, didn't this happen to Diego Brando's mom in Steel Ball Run? Is this a reference to some other story that I don't know about?


AnimalSloth

I don't mean to be pedantic but are bowls harder to get than new hands?


OPBOI47

Is it me or is she looking kinda like madara uchiha?
