8.5/10
great, unique.
i love the conflict, hyakkimaru's father made agreement with fierce gods to make his country prosperous in exchange for his son (what a bad decision, can you not trust your own ability trust your god?) -> hyakkimaru takes what's his back by slaying all the fierce gods and as a consequence the country fall to ruin little by little -> the kuni specifically tahomaru decided to side with his father and fight hyakkimaru. at the end they settled, but unfortunately KIA.
hyakkimaru have all the rights to take his body back, tahomaru and his friends is so wrong making agreement with fierce gods. should've just settle peacefully and let hyakkimaru slay the demons and rebuild the country together.
and there's dororo accompanying the adventure. various stories and they're all good. dodoro's past, mio and orphan story, moth story, faceless buddha story, doctor's story, shark boy story, crab monster story, cursed sword story,
also I read from the comment in the ending dororo is running towards hyakkimaru in the middle of a yellow field. that's mio's dream. really heart warming.
ending could be better tho. why did the mother, tahomaru, doctor had to die in the castle? they should've went out of the castle first to save themselves.
the fight is not that amazing so 9 -> 8.5
this kind of storytelling reminds me of violet evergarden.
