Dorohedoro Season 2 Unveils Key Visual and Updated Staff

The official website for the anime adaptation of Q Hayashida's dark fantasy manga, Dorohedoro, has revealed a key visual for the highly anticipated second season. This visual, created by character designer Tomohiro Kishi, also announces the updated staff for the upcoming season. Fans worldwide can mark their calendars as the new season is set to premiere on Wednesday, April 1st at 11:00 p.m. JST, with a simultaneous global release across various platforms at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

Returning and New Staff Members

While most of the original staff from the first season are returning to continue their excellent work, there are a couple of notable changes. Miho Sugiura is taking on the role of art director for the new season, bringing their artistic vision to the grim and fantastical world of Dorohedoro. Additionally, Itsuku Onishi has been promoted to the position of color key artist, promising a vibrant and visually striking season.

Production Team and Studio

Yuichiro Hayashi is back in the director's chair at MAPPA, the animation studio responsible for bringing Hayashida's unique art style to life. Tomohiro Kishi is also returning to design the characters, ensuring that the fan-favorite characters retain their distinctive looks.

Earlier Release Date

Initially, the second season was scheduled to debut in 2025. This announcement of an April 2025 premiere date is welcome news for fans eager to dive back into the Hole.

Story Summary

For those unfamiliar with the series, Viz Media publishes the manga in English, and the first volume offers a glimpse into the bizarre and violent world of Dorohedoro:

"In a city so dismal it's known only as 'the Hole,' a clan of Sorcerers have been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious 'experiments' in the black arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Caiman, a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of 'cleaners' into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds."

Previous Season's Success

Yuichiro Hayashi also directed the first anime season at MAPPA. Hiroshi Seko was in charge of the series scripts, ensuring a faithful adaptation of the manga's complex plot. Tomohiro Kishi designed the characters, capturing their unique and often grotesque appearances. The music was composed by [K]NoW_NAME, adding another layer of atmosphere to the series.

The first anime season was released on Netflix in Japan in January 2020 and then streamed outside of Japan in May 2020. The season comprised of 12 episodes.
