The anime’s long-awaited sequel season has officially been confirmed for Spring 2026, alongside a new key visual that captures the series’ signature madness.

Studio MAPPA will return to adapt Q Hayashida’s cult manga, continuing the surreal saga of Caiman and Nikaidō as they navigate the bizarre and violent world of Hole.


Story Synopsis

Dorohedoro is a dark fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic city known as Hole, where magic users experiment on humans for sport. The series follows Caiman, a man cursed with a reptilian head and no memory of his past, and Nikaidō, a restaurant owner and martial artist who aids him in hunting down the sorcerers responsible for his transformation.

As the pair seek answers, they unravel the twisted hierarchy that governs the worlds of both humans and sorcerers — revealing conspiracies, moral decay, and strange beauty hidden in the chaos.

The upcoming sequel season is expected to expand upon the later arcs of the manga, exploring Caiman’s forgotten identity and the broader war between the realms of magic and flesh.

Character / Key Figure Summaries

Caiman

The protagonist — a man cursed with a lizard’s head and amnesia.
Caiman’s constant struggle to uncover who transformed him forms the emotional and violent core of Dorohedoro. His mix of brutality, humor, and innocence makes him one of anime’s most distinctive anti-heroes.

Nikaidō

Caiman’s ally, friend, and owner of the Hungry Bug restaurant.
Behind her cheerful façade hides her own dark connection to magic, which the sequel promises to explore further. Nikaidō’s loyalty to Caiman adds rare warmth to the series’ gritty tone.

En Family & Sorcerers

The twisted and eccentric En family — including Shin, Noi, and En himself — return in the sequel as power struggles erupt across the sorcerer world. Expect more chaos, humor, and blood-soaked magic.


Did You Know?

  • Dorohedoro originally aired in 2020 with 12 episodes and 6 OVAs, quickly becoming a cult favorite for its brutal humor and hybrid 2D/3D animation style.
  • Creator Q Hayashida worked as both writer and illustrator for 18 years before concluding the manga in 2018.
  • The anime’s distinctive aesthetic — grunge textures, neon hues, and industrial design — is inspired by 1980s punk and underground Tokyo architecture.
  • MAPPA reportedly spent several extra months refining the lighting and CG compositing for the sequel, aiming for a darker, more cinematic look.

With its mix of horror, absurdity, and urban decay, Dorohedoro continues to defy genre boundaries.
The Spring 2026 sequel promises to dive deeper into its grim yet fascinating universe — where friendship, revenge, and insanity coexist in the same breath.

Story Synopsis

Re:Monster debuted as a TV anime in April 2024, introducing viewers to Goburou, a goblin reincarnated from his former human life as Tomokui Kanata. With his unique “absorption” ability, Goburou grows stronger by consuming others, carving a path through an unforgiving fantasy world.

The new announcement confirms that a season 2 is officially in development, though neither release date nor detailed production information has been revealed yet. Fans can expect the continuation of Goburou’s rise and his struggles for dominance in a brutal, monster-filled setting.

  • Season 2: Announced September 25, 2025.
  • Release Date / Staff: Not yet confirmed.
  • Season 1: Aired from April to June 2024, 12 episodes.
  • Source Material: Adapted from the light novels by Kogitsune Kanekiru, illustrated by Yamaada.
  • Production: Season 1 was produced by Studio Deen and licensed globally by Crunchyroll.

Key Characters

Goburou / Tomokui Kanata

Once a human assassin named Tomokui Kanata, he reincarnated as the weakest goblin. Thanks to his memories and absorption ability, he quickly became a formidable leader among monsters.

Supporting Cast

The series highlights an array of goblins, monsters, and evolving allies or rivals. Their shifting loyalties and power struggles create the foundation for Goburou’s ongoing battles.


Did You Know?

  • The original Re:Monster light novels spawned a sequel series titled Re:Monster: Ankoku Tairiku-hen (Dark Continent Arc).
  • The anime’s unique mechanic of “leveling by consumption” is inspired by RPG-style systems, but applied in a darker, survival-driven narrative.
  • Season 1 covered only the early arcs — meaning several major storylines remain untouched and primed for adaptation.
  • The anime is part of a larger wave of dark isekai adaptations gaining popularity since 2020.

The confirmation of Season 2 ensures that Re:Monster’s gritty tale of survival and evolution will continue. For fans of dark fantasy and unconventional protagonists, Goburou’s saga is just getting started.

Sinopsis de la Historia

Ganglion ha sido aclamado por su combinación de acción visceral y narrativa psicológica. El manga sigue a un protagonista cuya vida cambia radicalmente cuando se ve involucrado con un extraño fenómeno biológico conocido como “ganglions”. Estas estructuras, con raíces tanto en la ciencia como en lo sobrenatural, se convierten en el eje de una trama que explora la identidad, la supervivencia y la delgada línea entre lo humano y lo monstruoso.

Gracias a su arte detallado y a la tensión constante, Ganglion logró un espacio en el manga seinen, siendo reconocido por fusionar el body horror con dilemas emocionales profundos. Muchos fans lo han comparado con Parasyte y Ajin, destacando su equilibrio entre imágenes impactantes y reflexiones morales.
