Dororo is a rather well-known anime series that is based on the manga of the same name by Osamu Tezuka. The series received a reboot earlier this year and it received a lot of positive reviews. Even though the anime is based on the manga, it does not fully adapt the content in the manga.

The adaptation does stick to the basic premise, so it isn't entirely different from the manga. The series follows a young boy named, Hyakkimaru and a girl named, Dororo. The two band together so that Hyakkimaru can defeat all the demons and get parts of his body back. The story is set in the Sengoku-era. If you enjoyed Dororo and want to see more anime like it then you've come to the right place. Here is the list of 10 anime that are like Dororo.

10 Sword of the Stranger

The story has a hip-hop setting and for many people, it sounds weird but it is actually very cool. Samurai Champloo follows Mugen, Jin, and Fuu. Mugen and Jin are swordsmen with considerable skill, but they have different styles of fighting. Fuu is a young girl, who requests the two samurai to join her to find a particular person.

7 Inuyasha

4 Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion

Angolmois is one of the lesser-known anime around. It follows a group of prisoners who are sent to Tsushima Island in order to help with the defense against the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274.

The series has a lot of action and there is plenty of drama as well. The prisoners are joined by So clan and then Toi Barai clan who help to fend off the invasion of the Mongols. The series has just 12 episodes, but they are thoroughly enjoyable. It is worth watching and investing your time into.

3 Drifters

Drifters is an anime series based on the manga by Kouta Hirano. The series shares a few similarities with Dororo. The story starts with Shimazu Toyohida, who was battling Ii Naomasa at the Battle of Sekigahara.

After getting away from the battlefield, Toyohisa finds himself in a strange place that is filled with doors. After going through one of the doors, Toyohisa meets many great warriors who have been transported as well. They come to be known as Drifters.

2 Katanagatari

The anime follows the story of a unique swordsman named Yasuri Shichika, who fights without a sword and Togame, who seeks to collect the 12 legendary swords. Togame sought Shichika's help because of his unique fighting style.

Togame knew that the power of the swords would not corrupt Shichika. Togame managed to convince Shichika to join her and so they set out to collect the Deviant Blades. The story is set during the Edo-era.

1 Berserk

The final entry on the list is arguably the greatest manga in existence. Berserk is the creation of Kentaro Miura. The manga has been adapted into an anime, but it is fair to say that the adaptation isn't top-notch. However, Berserk is still worth giving a shot as the story and the characters are absolutely brilliant.

If you are looking for something read instead of watching then I would absolutely recommend Berserk. The series follows Guts, who is a mercenary. He has no goal in life except for changing battlefields and killing people, but all of that changes when he meets Griffith.
