* Based on a supernatural historical manga series written and drawn by Tezuka Osamu.

Daigo Kagemitsu, who works for a Samurai general in Japan's Warring States period, promises to offer body parts of his unborn baby to 48 demons in exchange for complete domination of the country. When the baby boy is born, Daigo has him thrown into a river, expecting the boy to die. A kind sage, however, finds him and adopts him. The sage fits out his poor son with prosthetics.

Time goes by and the baby grows into a boy who calls himself Hyakkimaru. Every time Hyakkimaru eliminates a demon, he retrieves one of his body parts. Hyakkimaru rescues a boy thief named Dororo from a band of men whom the young boy tried to rob. Together they travel the countryside in search of the demons who possess Hyakkimaru's parts. Throughout their travels, they face a host of monsters and ghosts.

Dororo (2019), wow what a gem this has been so far for me for the first 6 episodes. Not sure how loyal this has been to the original Tezuka series, but man this has been great so far. Great action and violent as fuck.

Do yourself a favor and watch it, hopefully the rest is as good, if not better than what I've watched so far.

I don't see a thread here, so seems like it has been overlooked, but it's right up there with the top series of the season.
