SASUKE, as a competitor to Dororo

[jeffbert]

This too, is the story of a child who suffers because of the feudalism, violence, & brutality of the warlords & such at that time in Japan. Yet, while Dororo was the child of a band of thieves, Sasuke is the child of a ninja family. They are enemies of what appears to be the local warlord.

In this thread, I will post a few images from the opening sequence & links to the episode threads. so, here, only a general discussion is appropriate.

Though this is in no way a comedy, the expression of fierce determination seems so out of place on such a cute face.

Sanpei Sharato drew the manga, & created the story & characters. The anime ran in 1968 same year as Dororo, the guy whose voice is Ochanomizu's, also narrated it.
