2 min read

The winter 2020 anime series Dorohedoro is getting its home video releases handled by TOHO and they’re going for the box set route. The twelve-episode series will be released as two limited-edition box sets on May 20th, 2020, and June 17th, 2020. While both of those sets are still a bit off and planned at this point, TOHO has now added the final full packaging for the second set so that we know the full layout for it. The regular editions come in at 17,800 yen each and are set for June 17th, 2020 and July 15th, 2020. On-disc extras remain the same.

They’ll be on Blu-ray only and each priced at 19,800 yen. While split evenly for episodes, the second set will come with six OVAs that clocks in at 30 minutes total. Extras also include the clean opening, closing, promos, and commercials. Check out the packaging below!

Plot Concept: 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.
