Wow i really really liked it! I was so exited to see how this anime was because of the sinopse and the first episode didn't let me down.
I almost cried for the poor man, his life is so sad asdfgh and seeing 'aliens'? making him into a robot was so epic, i can't wait to find why they did it.
The opening and ending were also both amazing !!

kick-ass opening.. at first 10 min of episode, the show could completely attract my sympathy towards the old man and at the second half, there was a surprising turning point which makes me want to see more.. totally great

[b] Wait, the manga has ended? Maybe I'll just read that since the gantz manga was such a fun read. I've made a kinda loose rule to only read completed manga cos I just end up forgetting to follow the ongoing ones lol.


Manga has ended at volume 10

Has it really ended because I read the last chapter and it didn't explicitly state it was the last chapter. When I finished reading Gantz it stated it was the last chapter and to look out for the author future works. My guess is author just on break or waiting fo see how sales do after the anime airs

Finally a good seine manga gets a good adaptation, I hope they leave that one One Piece reference they had in the manga. This show is a top contender for anime of the year in my book.

Good so far, but unsure about the CGI, especially seeing it being used for mundane things like walking.
At least the CGI looks better than a lot of shows I guess. Would have preferred 2D though - you can't beat it!

Pretty good start.

The first half was so melancholic and sad, I really felt bad for old man Inuyashiki with the way his family and other around treated him.

The ending scene was really strong with the way he cried after feeling proud of himself for having saved a life.

I can't say that I like how the everyone around Inuyashiki are a bunch of stuck up brats though.

The OP and ED were both really good but it's not my favorite of the season. :3

Classic power fantasy, but it could be the interesting kind. I've always thought this show would be like Breaking Bad, but so far it seems more like Ichiro is "breaking good" instead of bad. It was cathartic to see him finally drop those crocodile tears at the end of the episode.

The CG is basically a necessity in this show, I don't understand the complaints. It's possible to do machinery in 2D well, but I think in a TV anime with a grounded style like this it wouldn't look very good, or it would require too much of the available resources. I only expect Trigger to completely avert CG when animating machinery these days.

Well, the first part go me crying and thinking "well, that is why I don't want kids". Dog is the best person in that house and she is not even a person.
And with the homeless and the asshole kids I was rooting for some Gantz-ish gore kid's slaughter but I liked how it went way more, it was smart and they didn't got way if that as well.

The opening is soo goooood!

Gonna watch for Hanako <3

That was.. pretty awful writing. I'm supposed to believe this guy comes home to his family with an adorable surprise Shiba Inu and their reaction is, "Eugh, it'll make the house smell"? I mean, when I heard mecha grandpa I thought "okay sure, fine." But I can only suspend my disbelief so far.


Some people don´t like dogs and pets in general, so I don´t find it that ilogical in first place. I personally avoid most dogs, and cat fur gives me allergy. But I´m ok with lil parakeets and goldfishes.

always down with man with a mission

story seems interesting funny enough it wasn't the old looking man turning into the terminator that was weird for me but just how distance his family treated him the only reason i can think of is because he looks way older and just being plain assholes like almost everyone else shown so far besides the one homeless man.


also 3D looks fine it's just odd how much it's being used, understandable for all the moving robotic parts and what not this an't the 90s with high movie budgets to animate that level of detail but the opening scene was him getting out of a car and he was just full on CGI even the dog was CGI at times so it's sorta jarring jumping around between them

I heard many good things about the manga but knowing that anime is coming I managed to hold back the urge to watch it.

As expected it's rather good and the fact that 'normal old man' is the MC is making it unique from the get go. For me the most impactful part were definitely the few first "boring" minutes of the episode. Sure I said boring because they were boring but they shown the cruel reality from the old man's perspective, family ignoring him and there is only dog to cheer him up. That part was really hard to watch but it was impactful and makes one think.

Adding to the cruel reality, later on we have those kids bullying the homeless person and practically kill off the old man without batting the eye, just because he got in their way. Well, I believe, or at least I really want to hope that this was an extreme case but then again it's not like people like that don't exist... this just makes one depressed though.

Hmm... it's really heavy story I guess.

Inuyashiki is pretty old looking for fifty eight. I felt for him when he couldn't even tell his family about his prognosis, the way everyone interacts with him is either apathetic, annoyed or disappointed. The dog seems to like him though.

I thought he was going to leave the homeless man to those thugs going with the sentiment "the world doesn't care about me, so why should I risk myself for it?" and it made me happy to see him turn around. They were both going through life changing moments, so it made it suitable that he was the first guy he saved. The cgi is not the best, but by no means a deal breaker.

Yeah, hiring live action actors, that have no prior history or experience in voice acting, to voice act the main characters of a popular anime is definitely a wise choice.
I'm not saying it's a wise choice or anything. I'm just saying that it doesn't mean that the production quality of the series is low. They must have a budget to have a cast like that. They're not "nobodies".

Not really? The only CG advertising this anime had in the PVs was of the mechanical parts and the aerial flights. Which would be totally understandable since both would be very hard to animate. But that's not the case.
In the PV below, you can see a lot of CG being used, like when Inuyashiki's on the swings, etc.

It's not about lying or telling the truth, it's about MAPPA going shitty with their recent anime.
I'm not gonna disagree with you on that since it's apparent that MAPPA screwed up this year. But I'm not automatically gonna hate a studio for one bad year, since all studios had their ups and downs.

Does MAPPA only try every other show?

Inuyashiki looks older than his age, but the VA sounds younger for his age. Not pleasant on the ears or eyes, and nothing stands out except the MC, but will at least hang on for the story to pick up.

LOL, I thought Friday the 13th is the unluckiest of all days, but this show is just fantastic! Also why is the old man's voice is pretty weird...

*5/5 S+ Animation and Plot for this episode.
*3/5 Old man's voice is kinda weird (like Asta in Black Clover, but still all the yelling is worthy)
That's all.

My only real issue with it was the main character's voice actor. What the hell was that? He sounds like a teen and doesn't express any emotions. I get that you don't want an old man yelling like a shonen character, but he should at least raise his voice and sound sad while crying...
Will be hard to get used to it but I'll try. That last scene was pretty awesome. Not only did he not kill those kids but he exposed them to the world. Couldn't imagine a better outcome.
Also, from the ending I'm guessing the villain will start dating his daughter?!

It was a decent 1st episode. Sadly, things will go downhill from this point. The first part of this manga is actually decent (with potential), the problem comes afterwards with the way the story is handled (a lot of disappointing BS with Hiro). Anyhow, I might drop this once it gets to that point, but for now, it’s fine.

Production wise, it looks alright, but nothing outstanding. CG is passable (I didn't like the way they used it on some parts of the OP; kinda jarring). Inuyashiki’s VA could be better. I thought I was going to like the OP song a lot more, but not really (I've hear better MWM songs than this one). I liked the ED song though.

P.S. Some of you guys are getting too overexcited about this because of this first episode. I’d say, tone it down or else you end up a lot more disappointed by the end. But hey! to each their own...

Mid life crisis the animation.
Still pretty good first episode, didn't mind the CG, looked fine.
I don't really know what to expect right now.
The old guy character would have been better if he had some violence, like a violent hero, but that's just my opinion. Can't really say much from the first episode

... Yeah, I also didn't think that was plausible. But:

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2014/08/23/editorials/homeless-risk-attack-tokyo/#.WeBGGVtSz6o

"The homeless people interviewed were on average about 60 years old, but 40 percent of the respondents said the attackers were either children or youths, usually with at least two perpetrators. Some of them were assaulted with fireworks, steel pipes or other objects, while others were punched and kicked. They also suffered verbal abuse and threats, and often had their possessions set on fire."

Never thought I'd drop an airing anime from the 1st episode, but I guess that time has come. Having read a few chapters of the manga I have to say this was horrible. Total nobodies as main VAs, CGI dog, CGI on the old man simply running or walking. If they're already using CGI on such simple things what the fuck are they gonna do when it comes to flying around the city?? Never trusting MAPPA ever again.

The only good thing that came out of this crap is the OP.



Agreed, the OP is also shit tho

Not a bad beginning. Sad sack becomes robotic hero. I wish they would have shown, with a bit more detail, what those light/laser things that shot out of him did. Anyways, I seem to be in the minority but the OP is god-awful. Seriously. It just conjures up the image of a privileged white guy with cornrows trying to be tough. (nothing inherently wrong with that it's just a lifestyle I have no interest in)

They are unfit for the role, at least the old man is, his voice acting is awkward and average at best. Don't know about the other guy but he doesn't sound any better in the PVs.

In the PV below, you can see a lot of CG being used, like when Inuyashiki's on the swings, etc.
Yes I see, but I wouldn't define "mainly advertised as CG anime" something with 2-3 scenes of CG (outside robotic parts and flights). And most of the PV was in 2D, very beautiful 2D to be exact, so it's shame that they're applying CG to such minor and simple things.

I'm not gonna disagree with you on that since it's apparent that MAPPA screwed up this year. But I'm not automatically gonna hate a studio for one bad year, since all studios had their ups and downs.
You shouldn't, nor will I, I just won't trust the studio anymore. So if they make a show in the future that I'm interested in, I'll wait till it's finished airing so I can first know what others think.

That was a strong first episode! Gave me goosebumps the whole way through!

I already feel sorry for Inuyashiki; his family treat him like crap. They constantly disrespect and ignore him; he couldn't even tell him about his cancer prognosis. He even believed that they wouldn't cry if he died.

I'm happy that he's found a new lease on life and able to do some positive things in this world. I look forward to seeing what he does next.

The OP is fire!

The animation was pretty good, the CGI is being handled properly for once!

Out of all the shows I've picked up this season this has become the one I'll look forward to most each week.

Made by MAPPA and OP by man with a mission <3. 8 minutes in, dude needs to man up. show them bitches who's boss. I see he drinks the same amount of water as me. I was really hoping he killed those kids, Oh well. Overall, good start. Looking forward to watching this.
