Dororo Pilot
Before launching the TV series, a pilot film was produced to help sponsors and stations understand what "Dororo" was all about. The characters in this pilot are actually closer to the original manga than they'd be in the TV series that followed—the show's creative team kept tweaking personalities and designs to boost ratings, which sometimes worked great and sometimes fell flat. One major difference: the pilot was shot in color, but the actual series ended up in black and white to cut costs. The story follows Dororo, a street urchin thief, and Hyakkimaru, a man cursed by demons. The two travel together hunting monsters, and Hyakkimaru needs to destroy all 48 devils to become fully human again.
