Good adaptation. Very fast paced and it did skip some scenes I would have liked to see, but still it was very beautifully handled and it was as emotionally resonant as the manga. Experiencing the story again like this makes me feel like the ending for the manga was appropriate. If this anime keeps on being as faithful as it is, it may end up becoming one of my favorites.

I'm totally liking this. CGI doesn't bother me, it pulled some heartstrings and I'm so enjoying the fact we're getting an older MC for once. He does look older than 58. OP and ED were nice too. Looking forward to see more of this one.

I just got myself watch this by mere curiosity. And thanks to that, I found this hidden gem. First anime this season that caught me off guard coz it has lots of news. The plot, the way the feels attack, the edginess, the badassery, and specially the old MC :3 So far, so good. I guess I will not read the source material, coz it might spoil the fun. Heheheh

I don't like this type of animation, but the plot is good.

what do you mean by "type of animation"?

Mmm, I mean it looks like 3D. I suppose the word "graphic" is more suitable here (?).

The animation is so weird, especially him moving around while having his metal parts out. But weird is kinda good if you ask me. It could potentially be the best action anime of the season.

I don't have any issues with the cgi or animation

the worst element of this show is the storytelling. Every character is painted as completely good or bad. The motivations of those group of kids to murder that homeless dude is nothing more than the simple fact that those kids are pieces of shits.

Its extremely manipulative storytelling.

Very likely dropping this show if it continues to be this shit.

Sadly, after checking the manga, it's exactly that. Lazy storytelling assuming viewers are total idiots who are going to gulp anything thrown at them. It's isekai level of bullshit.

Poor Inuyashiki, felt bad for him & the first episode was good!
I liked both the OP + ED.
While I'm not a fan of the CGI , it's not that bad either, wasn't really bothered by it.

So that's the view you got? But you're assuming that the story told that it was nothing more than that. It just didn't bother to go in detail, giving each kid some backstory. Can't you just imagine those kids being stressed at school, having family issues and such? The kid at the end saying how their lives ended, didn't have much a delinquent-look; he looked nerd-ish, so I can easily imagine he being with those kids because of the want to have friends (as in school he mustn't have been popular).

But I mean, do you really have to 'gulp'? If you feel in in doubt, you could always google the answers, couldn't ya? When I did so for the kids' actions, I found news about it.

Thinking about a poster saying that in the manga there were scenes that added more characterization to the kids... I realized that problem with you guys is that you don't know those characters--or not enough, to accept them being true. And well, it's 2017... But yeah, it'd be superior storytelling if it told more about them instead of assuming everyone knows them, and well.

Damn this was awesome.

I really love the MC. I love that our hero in this one is an old dude.

In spite of how weird this was, it really moved me. The scene where he was crying and hugging his doggo (doggo is best character) really got to me.

'I love you because you're you. I'm happy that you're whole. I don't care if there are sides of you that I don't know, or don't like. If that's who you are, that's fine. As long as you're whole, that's enough for me.'-Kouko Kaga

@VKDOOM
Honestly i didn't have issues with that, and i've read the manga. There are so many better things to nitpick on than the characterization of minor characters. It just seems a lot of people who watch anime expect those kinds of motivations to be spoonfed to them. While those characters serve the purpose of motivating Inyuashiki down the path of good, they're largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Why should the author spend more time than necessary coming up with some kind of forced tragic backstory on why the kids are fucking awful human beings?

Anyway, putting enough details to showcase something and leaving the viewer/reader to fill in some blanks isn't necessarily a bad way to go about telling a story. Some people can get into that, some people cant i suppose.

Oku totally ripped off Breaking Bad!

Why does he look so old for a man in his 50s?
Honestly, though, this was the strongest first episode of the season.

Thing is, Oku comes up with fun and interesting sci-fi stuff, but he isn't the best of writers. And Gantz's ending was awful. We'll have to see how this one goes.

The kids is just an example I gave. I feel like when you are going to do a scene where a bunch of kids want to KILL somebody, there should be atleast some context given to it. It can't be because these kids just have hearts of stones and want to see people suffer. Again, the nature of murdering a human being isn't something most people, let alone kids, want to do. Yet these kids look like they genuinely relish and love the idea of seeing someone suffer. If there is some reason why they are doing it, it clearly is not shown as anything more than these kids being absolute psychopaths and the worst human beings who have ever existed since Hitler.

I can list more examples. The main character himself is a saint. He is such a nice human being who is incapable of doing a single morally wrong thing with his life. He has just been burdened with not being as successful and looking too old. Again, these things dont make him a bad person. Its just features that manipulate the audience to pity him and the writers play his character completely as such. In jus the first episode, this guy has mega cry fests with an adorable dog, that somehow his kids are less enthused than he is about.

You guys can say we are not supposed to get a full arc about the kids, but thats not the point. The point is that every character in this show so far has been shown to either be absolutely good human beings who have things in their lives that are shown for the sole purpose of having the audience pity them (ironically you guys say the kids aren't supposed to have a background, but the homeless guy they wanna kill gets a couple scenes showing that his life is about to turn around and his wife is going to take him back, very likely for the sole reason the audience pities him and cares about his survival, while hating the kids even more) or absolute vile dogshit humans.

Well, the kids actually didn't want to kill the homeless guy, because they fear the consequences. (Had they wanted to kill him, then it'd really beg the question why. But otherwise is as I said.) So what they wanted to do was simply make someone feel worse so they could feel better about themselves... Yeah. It's human nature, and those kids haven't been taught well, clearly--which worsened things... Simple stuff.

(Yeah you gotta, because the one above isn't really valid.) Well, a saint... But he's been shown feeling stressed, and wanted to vent it on some teens in the train. (This part pretty much disproves your following statement.) Yeah he hasn't been successful, and we can imagine a major contributing factor being he having passive personality. He appears to be the kinda guy to be taken advantage of. Now the writer and the character himself want otherwise.
---
The part with him finding an abandoned dog I can sympathize with. He being deserving of pity, crying there I can agree, too. But I wouldn't readily feel for him. Because at that point he's been characterized as someone that's partially at fault for his misfortunes. When he presented the dog to his family I didn't necessarily disagree with them. It just surprises the viewer because we don't normally expect those negative responses. Now it isn't fair to say that it wasn't unexpected, because the behavior those two have demonstrated gave it good probability. But it's the protagonist that's to blame for not getting the approval of his family before that--instead making the decision on his own, outta loneliness and selfishness.

That's not true; it's your view of it. We're not supposed to because we shouldn't be being like you, assuming what's quite an absurdity. It'd be so poor of the author to really be telling we're supposed to believe they're either black or white, lel. (Your cynicism level must be quite high.)
The scenes of the homeless guy were optional, to be honest; it's just that it was considered more needed than not, reasons obvious. (One of these obvious reasons isn't for we to care about whether he survives; we'd naturally want him to survive, because otherwise it'd mean failure from the protagonist's part--which is the opposite of what we naturally want.)

And actually we didn't say that they're not supposed to be given backstories. It's just that in this case it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

What an ungreatful and cold family. Always nagging and nagging and "the dog will make the house smell". Brat eh...
The doctor gives him a deathly diagnostic and doesn't even look to him or try to tell him this with more empathy. Nobody even bothers about what he's trying to say. And he believes that they wouldn't care at all. That makes me so sad. D=

Because I don't know, if I like the other part yet / if that sort of sciFi/fantasy meets my taste.

It's unfortunate that the only material that was good in the manga (first 20-30ish chapters) felt rushed. The transformation felt forced and there was a lack of crisp SFX; to me atleast it felt very lackluster in-comparison to when I read the manga. Also they skipped a lot of scenes I would like to see, albeit that's not really too important.

3/5, will continue to watch but I have already given up hopes on it being any good.

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.

This was so entertaining. This cult thing really got me interested.
Some of the robot parts were quite laughable, but in the end I really liked how they presented the story.
Will watch next week surely.

The author just took advantage of the possibility that there might be advanced life forms in the universe and that they're aware of our existence and consider us 'animals to preserve' like those we have.

I don't think the story is about the aliens and how he got the powers. I understand you want an explanation, but I believe the anime is more about how this man deals with his life's struggles and how he overcomes such a depressing state.

I meant that we can't question those aliens' existence, as they're a possibility (in reality). And that like animals, in reality, we don't have the means to know more about the 'humans' we see. In the story it's told that they just want to preserve our existence...without intervention. So just don't expect.

Good bye LOL

btw... easily anime of the season candidate...
deconstructing hero trope in the face...
Everybody was complaining about CGI, but lefting out the usual excelence of MAPPA's incredibly vivid and vibrant drawing of settong....

And man...

well animation is the strongest element of anime.... I mean, it could visualize any kind of possibiity.... Thus as element of story, the visualization of some particular incident is extraordinarily important. I mean look at the slow motion scene.... Imagine it being visualized in life action... Would it be as strong and impactfull as the animation? With excessive tear of hobo, unfocused antagonist's facial feature, dynamic motion of zooming.... I mean.... Even hollywood class cinematic team would be at hard time figuring out how to do that....

Good OP though I liked the instrumental part the most. I suspect it will be one of those that grow on you with the passage of time.

The first half was sad. Especially the part whereIc hirou cried with the dog T_T On the one hand I felt bad for the guy but on the other hand like, his kids seemed pretty ungrateful but even if they were in their rebellious phase how you behave also stems from your upbringing. Idk. It was like the author wanted to make the audience emotional but sometimes in a forced manner. In any case, I wish his family shut the fuck up about Hanako. Everyone loves dogs. Hanako is best grill and way more supportive of Ichirou than the others. smh

The CGI was awkward at times, like when characters make simple movements and whatnot, but overall it didn't bother me. I think it was essential for the cyborg-esque parts. Ichirou's VA was really good imo.

Those fucking kids deserved being doxxed. I can't believe they thought they killed someone and they had such a nonchalant attitude. Get rekt psychos

Cool start imo, very entertaining.

That was really weird. Not sure how I feel about it though. The animation doesn't bother me in the slightest. The personality of the main character is kinda annoying though, I hope he ends up gaining more confidence.

I don't understand how can this many people be considering this anime to be the best of the season, maybe they have already read the manga and know it's going to get better.

I wouldn't give this first episode more than a 5/10, and that's only hoping the story progresses towards something better on the next episodes. MC is absurd and annoying. Random alien hit & run. Most of the elements are comedy-like but the show isn't a comedy. I wanted to kill myself to end the suffering while watching this, only got midly interesting after the alien thing.

From 0:40 to 0:50 (the background music) I know I've heard that before.
Does anyone know from which song that is?

GREAT first ep. Powerful OP.
Old man's family is so shitty, I want to take him in.
Those kids were scumbags and my (annoying) sense of justice was very pleased with the end result!

Yea the episode was okay, far from the best of the season, the overall animation isn't really that great but it's decent enough i guess , the cgi also doesn't blend too well with the 2d animation which can be a bit distracting.

what the fuck is up with his family... it hits home. they can't even pick up the phone and his own daughter calls him her grandfather. imagine how that makes him feel! that dog is the only one being there for him lmao. that just hurts, it hurts even more that it's not only a fictional story but probably one that is real for many elderly. he's only 58 with completely white hair? i wasn't aware of the robot-like alien limbs thing going on, i only knew that his life/body would be changed somehow so it definitely took me off guard. the cgi looks strange for that, i guess it's doing it's job if it's making me uncomfortable. definitely not something you see every day... cgi has really come a long way, half of the time i couldn't tell it was cgi while other cgi shows i've watched make it obvious (not that it's a bad thing).

Those kids are psychopaths. Good thing they got caught before they actually killed someone.
