[00:02] cooked and then the internet just forgot they existed. First, Dororo. A father trades his newborn son's body parts to demons in exchange for political [music] power. The kid survives, grows up as a hollow shell with prosthetic limbs and
[00:14] no senses, and has to kill each demon to reclaim what was stolen [music] from like hearing, sight, pain, it's not triumphant. It's overwhelming. MAPPA last project on Earth, and the result is one of the most tragic stories in anime.

[01:36] three are finished, all three are under 30 episodes. Go watch one this weekend 30 episodes. Go watch one this weekend [music] and thank me later.
