Dororo is a new movie based on the manga series from the 1960s by Osamu Tezuka, who also created Astro Boy, and after a lot of hard work, Dororo is finally hitting the big screens and will feature as a live action film. The main character will be played by Japanese superstar Kou Shibasaki and there will also be appearances from Satoshi Tsumabuki who recently starred in The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift. It’s set to be an action packed movie with bits of comedy thrown in and with anime fans throughout the world, it’s likely to be a huge success.
The movie is directed by Akihiko Shiota and due to the large number of action scenes the crew also includes Siu-Tung Ching who was responsible for the choreography in films such as House of Flying Daggers and Hero. You can expect an action packed ride right from the outset in this movie.
When the movie was released in Japan, it spent an unprecedented six weeks at the top of the movie charts, and quite clearly was a huge success. The story follows Daigo Kagemitsu as he makes a deal with a group of demons to sell them parts of his unborn son in exchange for the power to rule the world. When his son is finally brought into this world, it’s deformed and Daigo is tempted to kill the child. However, he listens to his wife reason and they decide to place the baby in a floating basket and set it off down the river.
The deformed child is then discovered by a mystical physician who creates artificial limbs and organs for the boy and names him Hyakkimaru and eventually raises him as his own child. The story then follows Hyakkimaru as he embarks on a dangerous quest to find the 48 demons that his birth father made a deal with so that he can reclaim his body parts and become fully human. The story then introduces a young thief by the name of Dororo, who is a girl that has been raised as a boy in order to be stronger in a troubled and uncaring world. The story lets on that Dororo has a quest of her own and joins Hyakkimaru on an adventure that could prove extremely dangerous.
The DVD is rated certificate 15 and was released on the 7th of September 2009 by MVM. You should be able to pick the DVD up for about £15.99 at the moment and this will include the special features such as a trailer gallery, deleted scenes and “Road to Dororo” featurette.
Dororo is a fun and action packed movie that’s well worth watching. Full of energy, entertainment and a bit of comedy here and there it’s a movie that you just shouldn’t miss if you’re an anime or manga fan!
