EPISODE REVIEWS

A bit of a breather after all that drama. It was actually kind of funny seeing them deal with the faceless monster. It's nice to see Dororo and Hyakkimaru just being a team again.

Weakest episode so far. Production values dipped, monster felt rushed, and Okaka's story needed more time to breathe. That said, the character work with Hyakkimaru's trauma and Dororo's mom issues is solid. Overall good could've been better.

The colder setting mirrors the emotional distance growing in the story. I appreciated the restrained animation choices that emphasize mood over spectacle. The atmosphere feels heavier than ever.
