I haven't seen it in a while but I feel like Dororo (2019) is one of the very few cases where a darker reboot actually works because it doesn't feel like it was made to make the series "better" by making it more serious but instead to look at the concept from a different angle and really run with what it would be like to have to regain body parts and senses that you haven't had your entire life. I haven't read the source material so I'm not making a claim that either the original manga and anime are better or worse, and more that the most recent adaptation is a really interesting take on the concept and I feel like with a lot of reboots, especially rn, that doesn't happen too often.

#ive been thinking a lot about adaptations and reboots lately #especially since weve been getting so many of those in tv and games #and the process of adaptation is really interesting in general like switching mediums is a lot of work!#i feel like a lot of people judge the quality of an adaptation based on how accurate it is to the source material #which i definitely get #it can be frustrating when an adaptation of something is completely different especially when it comes to something #in a less popular medium getting adapted into a more popular one #but i genuinely think an adaptation doesnt have to be accurate to be good #i think as long as its evident that the people making it actually gave a shit and engaged with the source material an inaccurate adaptation #can work #and deviation is necessary in adaptations. imagine if the recent last of us show had every single little zombie encounter #anyway #dororo #dororo (2019)
