Dorohedoro: Ma no Omake

Dorohedoro: Ma no Omake further explores the world of sorcerers and the Hole, honing in on what the characters do in their spare time when they are not seeking out their enemies.

Kamen Kakusa
Fujita attends a mask conjuring ritual in hopes of a Devil bestowing him with an appropriate mask, like the ones his colleagues Noi and Shin possess. Hopefully his offering entices the mask-maker!

Tenpo For You
Nikaidou, lacking money and forced to sell gyoza on the streets of the Hole, stumbles upon a quaint shop selling tea and sweets. Its owner is the gentle and hospitable Syueron, but it seems the denizens of the Hole bear a grudge against him.

Shitappa Seishun Graffiti
Intrigued by the photographs hanging around the mansion, Ebisu approaches En hoping for a portrait of her own. However, she is disappointed to find that only of the En Family can have their pictures taken.

Anata no Shiranai Gyoza no Kai
The Gyoza Fairy keeps the Hungry Bug in pristine condition, but his primary responsibility is ensuring the gyoza tastes good. So he becomes rather agitated when Nikaidou's customers do not properly enjoy their meals.

Odoru Ma no Utage
En is enthusiastic about his masquerade ball and is adamant on his family's participation. Per tradition, attendees must choose a partner and dance to appease the Devils. To their horror, they discover that failing to do so may incur nasty consequences!

Yokaze ni Fukarete Ooba Kinenbi
Nikaidou gives detailed instructions on preparing oba gyoza and Kaiman is eager to help!

Dorohedoro: Ma no Omake is a series of short videos that explore the world of Dorohedoro even more. As a fan of the amazing worldbuilding in the first season, I thoroughly enjoyed this OVA.

Although there's no actual story, and the art is very rough as if from the story board to coloring with minimal animation, I still found it pretty charming in its attempt to build on its established world.

There's not much to say about it, but if you're a fan of the anime, then you should consider watching these short episodes.

Since my review is apparently too short, I'll talk a bit about ... each of the episodes. Spoilers ahead

Episode 1 shows that the masks that the Sorcerers wear aren't made by themselves, but rather by the devils. There are two lines, the left and the right, and the left line are for those who are normal low level sorcerers, while the right is probably for En's family exclusives.
Episode 2 entails the origin of Hungry Bug, Nikaido's gyoza shop.
Episode 3 is a cute little story about Ebisu (my favorite character) wanting to have a picture like the ones in Noi's room or En's room.
Episode 4 follows the Gyoza Fairy, a little gyoza shaped fatty who cools down beer, makes gyoza taste good, and throws toothpicks at customers. He's very judgemental, but with the judgement comes very funny scenes.
Episode 5 is about En's misnomer of a Masquerade Ball, which is instead a tribal dance of sorts to pay tribute to devils. Antics ensue, but they show that Noi and Shin had their first dance then, and always did. ShinxNoi for the win!
Episode 6 is a really short How-to video on how to make Gyoza.

I quickly became a HUGE Dorohedoro fan soon after the anime launched and was super happy that we would also recieve an OVA months after the season 1 finale.

And I gotta say this did not disappoint at all! I love the world and anytime they give us any new information on characters, the culture, and hell even their bedrooms I get super excited! This special gave me all of that! The audience gets to see short bits that widen our perspective on their world and let us in on festivals, pictures, dialogue we may not have ever recieved in the series. So I'm ... really happy it let us see the more behind the scenes lives of these characters!

The animation is a little choppier than the series but I enjoyed it. Its grittier but not in a bad way imo. Its just less refined, but for me it fit the series quite well.

The ED was great, I might be the only one but def give it a watch.

I just had a fun time with this special! Its nothing serious at all and holds zero impactful action scenes but god, is it worth it! If you love the series as I do and just want more fun times with these characters definitely give this a shot! <3

On Netflix US all six shorts that make up this OVA are smooshed into one episode. These are not plot-advancing stories, but rather ways to explore the Dorohedoro world and its characters in a lighthearted way.

The most disappointing thing about the OVA is that it isn't fully animated. I'm sure the cost for fully animating something like this is pretty high compared to the possible return on investment, so I can't say they made a bad decision, but it is distracting that these shorts are, essentially, a parade of still images.

About half the shorts feel like they give some tangible texture to the world and ... its characters—the one featuring Nikaidou and how she got started in her restaurant especially stands out—while the other half are cute little concepts that are fun for their five-or-so minute duration and then leave the mind (Ebisu trying to get her photo taken).

It's very disposable, even with the world/character texture, but for those who've watched through the first season, it's a nice little treat to wind down with, hence the fairly good score for something that is otherwise basically meaningless.
