## Where to Watch

- [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GT00371893/dorohedoro)
- [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/80991903)

Netflix and Crunchyroll both stream it. MAPPA's CG-heavy style is divisive on paper but perfect for the Hole's grimy texture in practice.

## Synopsis

In the Hole — a grimy sprawl where sorcerers from another dimension drop in to practice magic on the residents — a man named Kaiman wakes up with a reptile's head and no memory of who he used to be. His method for finding answers is direct: bite down on a sorcerer's skull and see if the mysterious second man living inside his head recognizes them. Alongside Nikaido, his gyoza-cooking best friend and the series' secret weapon, Kaiman's hunt drags him into the orbit of the very sorcerer family he should be avoiding. It's violent, funny, and strangely warm-hearted all at once.
