Dorohedoro sequel anime announced

On Tuesday, the official website for the animated adaptation of Q Hayashida's Dorohedoro manga made an exciting announcement: the anime is set to receive a sequel, which will be released as a streaming series. Accompanying this news was the unveiling of a teaser visual to build anticipation.

The initial anime premiered on Netflix in Japan in January 2020, comprising 12 episodes. For international audiences, Netflix began streaming the series in May 2020.

In English, Viz Media handles the manga's publication and provides the following synopsis in the first volume:

Set in a city so desolate it's simply referred to as "the Hole," a group of Sorcerers has been abducting individuals from the streets for heinous "experiments" in dark arts. In the shadowy corners of this grim city, Nikaido encounters Caiman, a man afflicted with a reptile head and a severe case of amnesia. Their mission is to track down and eliminate the Sorcerers in the Hole, with the hope that one of them is the key to undoing the spell. However, when En, the Sorcerer leader, catches wind of a lizard-man wreaking havoc among his followers, he dispatches a team of "cleaners" into the Hole, triggering a conflict between two worlds.

The anime was directed by Yuichiro Hayashi (known for works like Garo the Animation and Kakegurui) at MAPPA. Series composition was overseen by Hiroshi Seko (credited for works like Banana Fish and Vinland Saga), and character design was handled by Tomohiro Kishi (known for projects such as 91 Days and Garo -Vanishing Line-). The music for the series was composed by [K]NoW_NAME (recognized for contributions to Sakura Quest and Fairy gone).
