COMMENTS FOR BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT
The world-building gives me similarities in the atmosphere, a world in which even the eccentric are normalised. Both shows give off the same positive vibes despite the characters faced in a world of dystopian madness. Definitely recommend checking the other if you liked one of these two!

COMMENTS FOR NO GUNS LIFE
It’s honestly crazy how these shows are so similar and aired one season after the other but anyways:
The protagonists of both shows have their heads turned into something strange and as a result they have amnesia. Kaiman from Dorohedoro has his head turned into a lizard head, and Juzo from No Guns Life has his head turned into a gun.
Both main characters have female partners that are blonde. Kaiman has Nikaidou and Juzo has Mary.
Both settings are also very similar in that they have these cyber punk, dirty, grungy, steamy land scapes.
COMMENTS FOR DORORO
Dorohedoro and Dororo share a lot of similarities (including the half similar names! XD)
Both shows have
Violence, bloodbath
Satisfying fight scenes
Main character going on a quest to get their bodies/human form back
Another supportive main character accompanying them
Made by MAPPA
While both shows have these common points, they are also very distinct from each other. So it's not like one is an altered version of the other. You'll surely love both of these shows if you're okay with heavy themes like explicit violence and death.,
COMMENTS FOR BEASTARS
Both are unique non-cliche works, hard to find resembling anime for both. Both have some unexpected dark and adult material down the road (each in its own way). Both using 3D CGI and at the same time both are a rare cases of art didn't get totally ruined by it like in many other anime last years. Both protagonists have animal traits (though in Dorohedoro protagonist have only lizard head, when in Beastars all characters are anthropomorphic animals) and both of them have funny moments coming from their animal species.
COMMENTS FOR GLEIPNIR
orohedoro and Gleinpir both follow protagonists who gain this weird feature about themselves that they wish to know more about.
Dorohedoro follows a powerful Kaiman and his mission is to find out who changed his head into a lizard, as well as the dude who is literally inside him. However, Gleinpir is slightly different, with Shuuichi being feeble, being controlled by Claire who has a leader mindset, being used to her will in this survival game they play.
Both are good anime with Dorohedoro being crazy and unpredictable, unlike Gleinpir containing bits of ecchi and supernatural.

COMMENTS FOR TOKYO GHOUL
Dorohedoro and Tokyo Ghoul involves a main protagonist whose life undergoes a drastic change. Their character becomes less of a human but more of a supernatural being with special abilities. Both series revolves around creatures who can do extraordinary things. At the same time, there's a dark mystery that revolves around the origins of these powers. Both series' story are thought provoking with a variety of themes. Recommended for fans of supernatural/fantasy/horror.

COMMENTS FOR ATTACK ON TITAN
Getting back. Attack on Titan and Dorohedoro is similar in the aspects of a world full of chaos, whether it be slicing up titans or magicians.
Attack on Titan follows humanity's humiliation of being trapped within the walls due to the titans outside, leading to Eren joining the Survey Crops in what awaits a great sacrifice for humanity. Dorohedoro is slightly different in Kaiman having a problem with his head after it had been changed into a lizard.
Both are good anime featuring a good amount of action for if that is what you please, though Attack on Titan contains military, Dorohedoro is indecipherably crazy and comedic.

COMMENTS FOR JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - BATTLE IN EGYPT
They have a great plotline and keep you interested. (not to mention they both include really buff people) The characters have their own cool stories which add to the uniqueness of these two animes when compared to a handful of other animes.

COMMENTS FOR BATTLE ANGEL ALITA
Both have a hellhole place (where the protagonists live) and a paradise-like place.

COMMENTS FOR VINLAND SAGA
Fighter. Vinland Saga and Dorohedoro both follow strong protagonists, on the level of natural-born warriors.
Vinland Saga follows Thorfinn in his revenge against Askeladd, growing along the way to get stronger and stronger. Dorohedoro follows strong fighter Kaiman in his journey to take back his head and find out more of who dwells within his body.
Both are good anime featuring the same amount of action on every detail. With Dorohedoro being slightly comedic, Vinland Saga is based on history.
COMMENTS FOR AKIRA
If you watched Akira, I feel like Dorohedoro is a must watch and a successor in many ways to Akira. They both take place in really messed up worlds with intriguing back stories to them, as well as a really likable cast. Obviously, very messed up gore and brutal death scenes to be accompanied as well. Dorohedoro is a must watch for Akira fans.

COMMENTS FOR BUNGO STRAY DOGS
Disorder. Bungo Stray Dogs and Dorohedoro both follow a disordered world where authorities are negligible which allow room for destruction everywhere in their allocated locations.
BSD Yokohama is made up of Port Mafia and Armed Detective Agency, the powerhouses of the city in which sometimes they collide with one another when they encounter each other in the name of pushing forward their organisations' ideals. Dorohedoro is different in that Kaiman is a lone worker with Nikaido, only out to find out who changed his head to the lizard it is now. Both anime also have that 'big boss' character.
Both are good action-comedy anime although BSD has mystery whereas Dorohedoro is just crazy.

COMMENTS FOR DARKER THAN BLACK
Both series have mysterious protagonists with some unique power whose journey brings them into contact with others who similarly have their own unique powers. Both series begin with little explanation and flesh out the story and the relationships of the character, their past, etc throughout. In both series those with and those without powers are physiologically distinct in an immutable way, creating power imbalances.
Darker than Black has heavier sci-fi themes and much less levity than Dorohedoro. It follows the lives of people, many ex-special forces or similar, who gained unique superpowers/magic abilities after being present during a mysterious event wherein an anomaly of physics swallowed a massive area in South America (and later Japan). Those with such powers are sought out and, in one way or another, recruited to act on behalf of criminal syndicates and/or government agencies.
COMMENTS FOR BACCANO!
The eclectic cast is lovable, no matter which side of the conflict they are on, despite constantly committing murder and torture. Even if someone is initially introduced in a negative light, they are developed until you eventually love them.
The plot is constantly twisting and changing, and everyone has their own agenda. Plot threads and character arcs that initially seem unconnected are woven together, and you're always on the edge of your seat.

COMMENTS FOR BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT & BEYOND
Both shows take place in similar settings (post apocalyptic-type dystopian worlds) and have similar vibes and humour. The characters are very likeable with strong female characters (though you see more action from the women in Dorohedoro!) Both have great OPs and EDs!
However, Dorohedoro is much gorier and crazier than Kekkai Sensen. I wouldn’t suggest it for people who can’t stomach rotting corpses and flesh and such things, though they are somehow portrayed in a lighthearted(?) way. If you couldn't take the level of blood in Kekkai Sensen, then Dorohedoro is definitely not for you! That aside, if you've enjoyed both seasons of Kekkai Sensen, I think you'll enjoy Dorohedoro as well!

COMMENTS FOR THE FUTURE DIARY
Insanity. Dorohedoro and Future Dairy both share a similar amount of insanity with all kinds of improbable events happening on a daily basis.
Dorohedoro has Kaiman and his funny situation of having a lizard head after his regular head had been transformed. Future Diary follows Yukiteru and his involvement in a grand battle royale with the winner becoming a god. Both are accompanied by a female partner with superhuman skills, Nikaido and Yuno respectively.
Both are violent good anime with just about the same number of crazy events in both of them.

COMMENTS FOR DEADMAN WONDERLAND
Insanity. Both Deadman Wonderland and Dorohedoro present their respective worlds like that of which is nothing but violence. The crazy events never seem to stop in both anime.
Deadman Wonderland sets a puny Ganta in the prison Deadman Wonderland after he has allegedly massacred his classmates. Dorohedoro is Kaiman wanting to find out who changed his head into a lizard head. These two are also paired with fairly overpowered female partners, Shiro and Nikaido, on their journeys.
Both are good anime featuring the same amount of blood and gore here and there. With Dorohedoro being more comedic than Deadman Wonderland.
Read more
COMMENTS FOR AKAME GA KILL!
Taking back. Akame ga Kill and Dorohedoro both follow people who wish to take back what was lost, whether it be in selflessness or selfishness.
Akame ga Kill follows the Night Raid and their countless assassinations for the good of the people under the reign of the corrupted Empire. Dorohedoro follows Kaiman and his actions of trying to reclaim his head as well as answer the questions of who is inside him.
Both are quite gruesome anime featuring the same amount of action in both of them. With Akame ga Kill being slightly more depressing in comparison to Dorohedoro untimely mishaps and comedy.
