A to Z Challenge 2017 -- Dororo, D #atozchallenge

Dororo (doe-roe-roe), the blue ninja pascifist alien frog, is from the comedic, insane, crazy, and wild Anime Sgt. Frog.  As a Lance Corporal in the A.R.M.P.I.T. Platoon (Advance Recon Mission Preparatory Invasion Terror), his mission was to help his commander Sgt. Keroro to invade Earth, which fails miserably.

 He was once an assassin in the Keron Army with the name of Zeroro.

He was rescued by  Koyuki Azumaya a Pekoponian (pee-ko-po-nee-an) (a.k.a. an Earthling) and accepts the ninja way of life and becomes one with nature.  His change of lifestyle has him balking at following the many of the plans that Keroro comes up to continue the highly comedic escapades of global domination.

D is the enigmatic traveler of the movie Anime of Vampire Hunter D. One of the classic animes of the 80s, it has been a fan favorite for a long time.  Coming from the novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi, it is an amalgamation of dystopianish horror and science fiction. It takes place in the year 12,090 A.D.

D has a symbiotic companion on his left hand, who can operate
separately from D.  A loner by nature, D comes off as aloof and cold, but he helps people that are plagued by Nobles (vampires).

He is a dhampir, half vampire half human.  His origins are a mystery, but there are hints that he may be the son of the Sacred Ancestor or one of His experiments to halt the decline of the Nobility.

  2. I have to admit to knowing nothing about the blue ninja pascifist alien frog :), but I love D. I rewatched both movies recently. His talking hand is awesome.

  3. Both of these sound really cool. A story taking place in 12,090 AD sounds pretty wild. And who wouldn't love a ninja pacifist alien frog? :D

  4. A companion on his left hand? Intriguing. There's so many fun, quirky details in these stories!

  6. I must admit that none of this made any sense to him. I'm hardly clued in to the world of anime. This has good intro of sorts.

  7. I love Vampire Hunter D, I used to have it on VHS and then had to go find it again on DVD. One of my favourite animes :) I must go watch the movies again.
