The first video in this reflection is the Dororo video that was on the blog for the martial arts class
that I help with. I recently decided to put this video here in my post to talk about the series Dororo as
an introduction to the series in terms of the differences between the manga and anime (perhaps a way
of talking about manga?) and of introducing its theme of morality, which is mostly seen in the second
video.
The second video talks about how morality is seen in Dororo. In Dororo, one of the biggest moral
issues, which is a common moral issue seen in anime, involves the concept of utilitarianism, which
basically means it's better to save more people even if it means sacrificing some people. Like I said,
this is a common moral issue seen in anime (examples of it are also seen in this second video), but
what makes it different in Dororo is that this moral issue is what its premise is based on, which causes a
lot of moral issues for the characters involved.
As the ending of this second video says, morality is complicated. There are reasons why these
characters are right, but at the same time, there are also reasons why these characters are wrong. I
guess the best thing to do is have reasons for doing what you do that make sense to you, which is also
seen by the characters in Dororo and their morality.
