"A swashbuckling flight of fancy" – The Japan Times

"DORORO is pure popcorn movie fantasy in the same spirit as Willow, Legend and Highlander." - Twitch Film

'The action choreography is beautifully acrobatic, the CG marvels are made with wit and panache and the film's smaller, human moments are charged and alive.' The Japan Times
