 So here's all you need to know about the anime.

Release date

'Dorohedoro' is releasing on Netflix, on May 28, Thursday.

Plot 

The official synopsis on Netflix reads, "Amnesiac Caiman seeks to undo his lizard heard curse by killing the sorcerer responsible, with his friend Nikaido's help. In the Hole, that's a threat." In case you found that complicated, here's a better context. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, which is split into two dimensions. One is the Hole, where humans reside, and another is Sorcerer's world. These are two different species, even though they seem similar. Humans evolve naturally, while sorcerers were created by a devil called Chidaruma. 

After his transformation, Caiman attacks sorcerers, biting their head off, where a strange face will appear and tell him, whether this is the sorcerer responsible for his current state. This catches the attention of a powerful sorcerer named En, who sends his minions out to kill Caiman.

Voice cast

Wakaru Takagi will voice Caiman and Reina Kondu will voice Nikaido. The rest of the voice cast includes Ken' yu Horiuchi,  and Yoshimasa Yosaya.

Creators

The show has been created by Yûichirô Hayashi, and is based on the manga written and illustrated by Q Hayashida. 

Trailer

We see the Hole, a dreadful city were humans live in fear thanks to the constant attack of the Magic Users, beings from another dimension who resembles humans but are able to use and test magic on the residents of Hole, killing or disfiguring them for the rest of their lives.
