The Most Overlooked Anime of 2019
The phrase, "I love anime," is pretty broad, in all honesty. To someone who's not aware of anime culture and is on the outside looking in, it may seem like a simple enough statement. But really, this statement is the same as "I really love movies," or "I love TV." Sure, it's possible for a person to love all movies or all TV shows, but usually, a person likes certain kinds of movies and TV shows. This applies to anime as well. There are different genres, but undeniably shonen is the biggest and most popular. This is for sure what I would consider to be my favorite type of anime, as I have seen quite literally seen thousands of episodes of these types of anime. So when you have seen as much shonen anime as me, you start to notice these tropes. The main character has a goal and must become stronger or just better at whatever it is they do to achieve said goal. This types of anime has been coming out for decades and it can sometimes be hard to stand out from the pack, so when an anime does, it gets mass praise and here's where Dororo comes in. Not only does Dororo perfect each and every shonen troupe it uses, but it also adds so much to the formula that it makes no sense why it has not received any mainstream praise. I have a theory as to why, but we'll get to that.
