'Dorohedero' Season 1 tells the bizarre story of a lizard-headed man in a world of sorcerers, trying to recover his memories and find out who the man who lives inside his mouth is, and trust us, it only gets stranger from there. Fans are loving the new series, however, and are loving the weirdness of the series and its characters.

Fans recommend the show highly, despite the series defying conventional description. "Welp, if you need a new weird recommendation for anime check this shit called Dorohedoro on Netflix. I'm not even gonna describe it. It’s just.... it’s just weird and kinda cool," writes a fan, on Twitter. "Uffff I am a sucker for this aesthetic," writes another, sharing concept art of the show's environments.

"Ok Dorohedoro is ****ing FANTASTIC and why have we been sleeping on such a good manga(now show) lmao I wanted to read it for some time from hearing about it but DAMN I wish we got into it sooner," writes this enthusiastic viewer. "DOROHEDORO is a must watch anime," writes another online user.

This fan perhaps comes closest to describing the show for new viewers: "Dorohedoro is on US netflix now. It's an anime I'm still watching through but I'm thoroughly enjoying it halfway in. It's dark fantasy in a depressing world but characters making the best of the times. Content warnings: Body horror, gore, nudity." 

The characters that the show introduces are a big hit with the fans as well — particularly Nikaido (Reina Kondo) and Noi (Yu Kobayashi) "I've only watched 3 episodes of Dorohedoro but Noi is best girl," writes one viewer. "Please watch Dorohedoro, they have buff waifus," notes another user. "Just watched the first ep of Dorohedoro, and I love Nikaido and I love Caiman, and I am suuuuper into this weirdass world. The Bloke is also sold on it. Pumped to finally meet my girl Noi in the next episode," writes a fan. 

"I only just started watching Dorohedoro (just finished Ep 2) and I'm already enjoying it quite a bit. I really like almost every character in this show so far. Especially these two," a fan writes, sharing screenshots of Nikaido and Noi.

Fans of the manga series are joining in on the fun, too, as they check out the animated adaptation. "Usually I don't watch an anime if I've already read the manga, but Dorohedoro is too awesome to be experienced in only one way," writes this fan.

All episodes of 'Dorohedero' Season 1 are now available for streaming on Netflix.
