Fatalism, nihilism, egotism, narcissism, selfishness; we could go on for hours discussing what personas Hiro has.

I think he's just the representation of 'what not to be' from a societal standpoint.
I think we're having issues agreeing with what persona he truly holds based on the fact that none of us can personally relate to him as a character.
We'l have to see how his character unfolds during the series, maybe see him get worse so we can come to a static conclusion together.

Safe to say I don't like this character, for all the right reasons.

Yes, that about sums it up, and you're right on every point. I couldn't agree with you more. Sometimes I get a little too into debating such things, but usually I'm pretty pragmatic and would have said something similar myself.

The fact that he looks like some super old dude, fights like he has absolutely no idea what he's doing, and sounds so lame makes the fact that hes now a robot and can actually kick butt freaking hilarious. That whole fight was funny as heck and he is just such a great dude. And on that note, it also really shows the difference between the two robots. HIRO SUCKS and I look forward to his ultimate defeat.

Damn, this episode was a little bit softer i think but still...
They really managed to show how different they are and how different people's minds can be.
Really glad that he finally learned some of his abilities. And that he saved that guy and the family. At least something positive in this episode :D

Andou is such a Gantz fanboy with all those posters in his room. Shameless self-promotion on the creator's part.

Hiro kinda reminds me of Nishi from Gantz because he enjoys killing so much and has little regard to life and the people around him. I like Nishi more though.

LOL at Inuyashiki singing Astro Boy's OP song to get his flying gear to work.

"Omae wa GAY ka?" That made me lol and I'm a little gay myself.

Hiroya Oku loves making his characters cry, whether they be good or bad guys. He loves his tears.

As usual, Hiro killed the bullies. Not even Andou approves. Hiro just loves killing. He has no drive or reason, he just loves to kill because he can.

Another excellent episode!
The OP music and visuals is really getting into me! A MAN WITH A MISSION is really a great band!
So both can heal people and animals huh...
Old Man saved an office worker from thugs!
Finally Old Man can now learn how to fly! and saved more people from the fire! Good deeds are always welcomed!
I'd already expect that Hiro would eventually kill the bullies from his school.
And here he goes again! nonchalantly killing some random family.
5/5.

Omg, lol, that Astro Boy reference. XD

Seeing Ichirou fend off those gangsters to save that salaryman was pretty great too.

As for Hiro, he's a proper villain who is just so easy to absolutely despise, I really can't wait until he comes face to face with Inuyashiki again. Here's hoping he gets some swift justice when that happens.

the damn hospital security- I hope walking willy nilly into wards and hovering over patients isn't a reality in Japan :P

I'm willing to bet they have some kind of security check in the hospitals, but even so, I'm sure he could get past the receptionist no problem. Either by sneaking past in a group of other people or by lying his way into the building, saying he was visiting somebody in a specific room. Nobody would really question him, being a gentle old man.

Glad that Inuyashiki back in action in this episode. i love this episode more than the last one.
That old man not only saving human but animals too and I'm glad to see he is happy that he could save people with his power now. He look really sad when he couldn't do it for the family that died in the last episode.
The scene where the old man fighting the gangsters really funny to me. Tbh, I feel bad for Chokko/Ando. His long time friend suddenly turned into a murderer.
Maybe Hiro didn't kill those two boys because it reminding him about his friendship with Ando.

The old man is such a lovable character. He's the moral man that we all aspire to be.

Having non-anime industry actors doing the voices really gives this adaptation of the manga a certain something. It makes more gritty, less over the top and by that more compelling.

I agree about the voice actors giving this adaptation a certain something. I like it just don’t know how I would describe it.

How Hiro didn't realise anything about Pops once he shoot him? Clearly every person he killed before shed blood while it was complete opposite with Inuyashiki. Now we simply have two people with same abilities with their intentions splitting them apart. One brings pure destruction while the other brings life or I should say recreation , meaning Inu saves lives. With this Inuyashiki is able shut down whole Health industry :) Honestly expected Ando to be banged once he decided to part ways with Hiro , but I am sure even in his place many wouldn't feel comfortable having such a "person" next to them. When you see four students falling on the ground you still are feeling some kind of pitty , even if they are bullies. And money which comes out of the blue isn't giving much joy either.

Hiro really is the perfect antagonist in terms of ability and intelligence, but his cockiness will 100% be his downfall, that or underestimating Inuyashiki when they inevitably fight

Very cool episode. I really hate Hiro more and more but it's very interesting to see both of them using their powers for very different reasons.

Inuyashiki learning his powers makes me so goddamn happy and I liked that he he was able to save that cat and learn that he has the ability to heal.

Hiro still needs his ass beat though.

I fucking lol'd at Ichirou when he hummed the Astro Boy song trying to fly. It was so hilarious and bizarre at the same time. Good on him for using his powers to heal the cat and rescuing the family which makes him take a step to cure the diseased patients as well. Ando came out of his shell quickly and spoke his mindful on Hiro.
I think Hiro has crossed all the limits of sanity, curious how he will lead up into the series.

On the other hand, Hiro... with the amount of power he has, just kills anyone who's a bother. Luckily he hesitated when he was aiming at the two children.

Ichiro seriously warms up my heart every time he does a good deed and gets emotional about it. Or when he's desperately trying to save someone but feels shattered inside when he can't make it in time TTATT he's so pure and genuinely kind. So lovely to see everyone loving him and being Team Inuyashiki lol.

But damn, Hiro must be intelligent or have natural talent to have already figured out how to immediately use his powers. Ichiro is over here tryna learn how to fly. Super cute how he has to sing the Astro Boy song to activate his flying abilities LOL. I hope he learns how to do things faster if he's gonna face Hiro one day D:

It's too bad Hiro lost his only friend :( but also great to see that his friend retains his good morality and doesn't abuse Hiro's powers to gain revenge on bullies and whatnot. You could see the fear in him and how even though he got bullied, murder wasn't the way he wanted to handle things :(

So childhood friend doesn't want anything to do with Hiro anymore. To cope with that he goes on a killing spree. Still don't get the attachment (especially since he let those two boys go at the end). Is it the power of friendship?

The Astro Boy scene was great. As part of the older generation, it makes sense that Ichiro would need more time to get used to/figure out the technology in his body than Hiro.

If Hiro would stick to using his powers for getting bullies to repent rather than killing people for shits and giggles, the world would be a much better place.

Ichiro doesn't interact with his family members to talk about the issues he has. That ends up with him being disconnected from people who he wants their intimacy.
The other character is not mentally distressed on the other hand.
And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

This episode did a good job in conveying the contrast between Inuyashiki and Shishigami. And I got to say, the live-action voice cast is really creating a unique mood for the series. Despite the absurdity of the premise, the series feels more grounded, thanks to the more natural voice acting and the themes it presents. Only 4 chapters adapted this time, with the rest of the second volume being cover. I think the next episode will cover one whole volume, plus a bit of the volume after that, and will adapt the entirety of the "yakuza" arc in one episode.


Totally agree. I've seen many complaints towards the VA, but I found it very fitting. I think it would have been much worse off with a generic and over-acted VA instead.


I'm part of the VA complainers. most people think there's only 2 levels of voice acting (normal and over -acted) the voice acting for this show is lackluster there's no doubt about it or else no one would have noticed or mentioned it, people that don't agree think we (complainers) are asking for an over-acted shonen type of voice acting, and that's not the case at all, in my case i'm just asking for the kind of VA goes unnoticed and doesn't distract me away from the plot, and this shit is so distracting that i feel like i'm on a movie theatre and everytime both main characters speak someone is throwing popcorn at the back of my head and i just get pissed and can't concentrate on the fucking movie,

Hiro might be talented in using his newly-acquired body parts but he lacks the heart Inuyashiki has. He knew what good he could possibly do for others but he chose not to do so because it would've been too much trouble yet the old man went to the terminal ward the moment he found out he can heal even those who are near-death.

My favorite Robocop learning how to fly by singing the classic Astro Boy opening song was both hilarious and awesome. It was great that he had managed to save more lives but a lot more are getting killed on a whim by someone else who's just like him.

Young start to kill things just cause he see them or ear them , just a robot thinking is alive

Old start to heal ppl that should die

They killed the other cute girl cause she didnt talk about one piece

There was chaos child manga, that mean steins gate , so the daughter might die and the old man will save her

The only thing bothering me , is why the ship comme to earth , they come , land , then go back

I like how the story is told , it give me the same feeling that madoka , i rank it 9 for now
