Nice, we're getting more focus on Hiro, the other character that was with the old man during their incident.

I like how he's protrayed in this anime so far as his personality fits quite well for his character. He's a very different character compared to Inuyashiki though. They didn't waste much time revealing his ability either.

BANG. They kept the blood and violence in this show as well to show how dangerous Hiro is really capable of. I felt bad for that family he attacked. RIP. Pretty thrilling episode.

I think the villain is not evil enough, if he's gonna kill the kid he has to give that kid a hope first and then kill him like Caster from Fate/Zero. Overall I'm disappoint in the villain's insufficient evil but I'll continue to watch just in case there's more evil villain than him.

The rest of volume one hand half of volume 2 were adapted (6 chapters). But yeah, this episode was a good adaptation. Lmao, porn plays on all the TVs and a kid is actually watching it. All those manga references Shishigami made, lol. I love how the mangaka made fun of his own series with Gantz, lol. I like how they handled his creepiness. And I also like the contrast between his and Inuyashiki, where one feels alive when saving a life and the other feels alive when taking a life. The directing and use of music in this series is really good so far, but the animations are pretty iffy. Honestly, the 3D animations look better than the 2D ones, since the 2D ones lack proper fluidity and overall looks like a step down from MAPPA's other works.

4/5

Crying because of a One Piece chapter O.o So Hiro is the younger MC/Villain of the series. I'd say that the old man's pov was more interesting to see, probably due to it being uncommon. So the first episode was more enjoyable than this second one for me.

The kid was just standing there watching without getting flustered, while all the adults around went into panic mode lol

The kid standing there watching porn was amusing. Hiro is a completely different character than Inuyashiki. He just killed that family in cold blood. I really feel bad for them. Got to see his other abilities too. He's quite powerful. He needs to be stopped.

I mean they have no experience, it's the same case when they call an actor to dub some animation, in my country there was a case where a great actress made a bad dub.

I do not doubt that appear people on Twitter criticizing the anime for putting children in situations that are harmful and dangerous to their mental health, unfortunately the politically correct is reaching Japan.

If this episode wanted to showcase to me that Hiro is a monster, it absolutely succeeded on that front, that's for sure, although I really could have done without seeing the kid drowning in all honesty: even considering everything else that happened in this episode, that was sickening and way too much.

Japanese voice acting in anime almost never sound like how Japanese people talk in real life. This anime is trying to replicate the non-exaggerated style Japanese people normally speak in, by using live-action actors as voice actors.

Holy shit that was fucking brutal! o.O

I really liked the pacing here and the way things were presented, it felt kinda different and more natural from what I'd usually expect from anime. I really felt the suspense in the air.

I think the VAs are doing fine job, some speech in the beginning could have been better, but overall I think they sound good enough. Nothing bad in giving a chance to new voice actors.

Lol'd at the product placement.

I'm not saying the voice acting is good or bad, I'm just stating why it sounds like that. If I were to close my eyes and listen to just the audio, I would've assumed that a Japanese live-action series is going on right now. They weren't intending the voice acting to be bad, they were just intending it to be different... which still ended up as off-putting.

Since all of the characters are talking in normal anime style, yet the two MCs are talking in regular style, the voice acting isn't blending properly. Plus, anime is an exaggerated form of media anyways, so there's no need to not make the voice acting exaggerated.

Seriously there's a difference between actual bad voice acting and just not overacting like in 99% of anime (not that overacting is a bad thing, i love me some good screaming shonen characters and i'm not talking about that dumbass in black clover). The thing with inuyashiki is that despite the actors being relatively new to anime, they still manage to convey the emotion they have to convey most of the time. FLCL sure did better with voice actors that were new to anime, but this show's voice acting is pretty decent so far,

Probably he figures that if he is ever caught, he can just kill the police or whoever. It's not like he's holding a gun in his hand that they can take away from him. And things like straight jackets probably would be totally useless, since he's probably got superhuman strength as well. So, I can understand that he might feel a little brazen.

Anyway, wow, what an episode. I kinda wish Hiro wasn't such a sociopath because, damn, he is ikemen! That bath scene was pretty rough to watch, and I had to keep reminding myself throughout the episode that I have only a limited amount of empathy and I shouldn't spend it on fictional characters. When the girl said she liked OneP, I figured Hiro would let her live, just because he seems that capricious. Loved the discussion with the friend about Gantz.

This is a great setup for an epic story of good vs evil. And I think as a whole, the story reinforces the idea that any technology is only as good or bad as the user's intentions. Looks like it's time to revise my Top 5 of the Season... Gotta move this one higher up the list.

Well Hiro is a fucking psychopath, causing chaos in the city and killing a random family in cold blood. Inuyashiki tried taking him on but was unsuccessful.

I liked the references to other series in this episode and i found it amusing how Hiro was talking shit about Gantz since this and Gantz share the same mangaka.

Also, Hiro's VA sounds exactly like Mamoru Miyano.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

The Anime does a great job so far in making me wish that Inuyashiki whoops bad guy's ass at the end of each episode.

I have the same feeling. I think they want to establish the point that Hiro is new to this 'bussiness', hence his reaction when he kills the mother. But his psychotic behaviour seems a little too weird rather than threatening yet. But, I guess, there's more to come.

Fuck,that was intense.

The build up leading to the massacre and the encounter of Hiro and Inuyashiki was so well done and breath taking as the tension slowly rised.

And the cruelty this episode gave me the chills.

I like the contrast between the two main characters. Both have become human cyborgs but in the first episode we see Inuyashiki saving a person and using his new powers for the good. Whereas Hiro is amused by his powers and simply kills an entire family to “feel alive”.

I won’t judge Hiro very early on my opinion could change of him but what he did this episode was.. brutal. I expected him to be a loner and quiet kind of character but he seems talkative and acts like a regular person around friends. His mom and dad are alive but I sense something tragic is gonna happen to him.

I did not read the manga as I try to avoid spoilers so I can watch this show without any expectations. I liked the pacing of the episodes but the first episode was definitely more enjoyable.

I would still be cautious of military grade weapons that can eject strong EMP bursts or potent acids. At this rate he might fall flat on his face faster than Light did. Then again we don't know how much time has passed so who knows, maybe he did do his research.

Time to meat the main villain of the series, who turns out to be a completly irredeemable monster.
I mean, he likes One Piece and hate Gantz, so obviously the worst.
Well, there is also the part where he kill several people because he it makes him feel alive.

As a villain he made a good first impression. It's clear that he ahs to be stopped asap.
He is also the opposite of the main character, which almost always makes for a good conflict.
Looks the are going to fight next episode. Let's see hoe the handle that aspect of the show.
