That about sums up the anime. *spoilers*
The concept could have worked if it was comedy, you are watching an incompetent senile old man trying to become a superhero, and sure enough the show is comical, but for all the wrong reasons. It's simply laughable how off are the ratios of the people the villain kills and how much the old guy manages to save, and he is acting like the typical low class office worker, bowing to everyone, constantly apologizing and ask for someone else to solve his problems for him, because he can't even take that much responsibility. He pathetic and it's disgusting how he acts most of the time, and the show makes him out to be jesus. The villain is far more likeable, even though he is also a shit character, at least he is somewhat relatable, because unlike the mc, he acts like a human being. Let's be honest here, who gives a fuck about a bunch of randoms dying (if they are not cute girls)? Except for the random killing and torture to make him out to be the villain, and somehow not understanding why people don't like that, his motives are perfectly fine. Most other characters barely get screentime or do anything important, they are merely there as tools to show how good or bad the main characters are, which is another bad thing, since instead of showing it, we get people telling us what to think. They also suffer the common case of being retarded for the sake of plot.
The story is garbage, extremely clichéd. And even though it's tagged as sci-fi, it's not. Nothing is ever explain, not to mention it conflicts with out current understanding, so it might as well be magic, there is nothing scientifical about it. As for the psxchological part, it is trying at least, but also failing, the only thing it ever brings up is about what it means to be human, and the mc and villain are the two sides, but it's left as that. It tries to be deep, but it is very shallow. Emotional scenes get fucked up by either intentional or unintentional funny inbetweens. In the last episode there is random part where the dog falls down on the stairs while the MC does the self sacrefice.
Art is good. That is the hand drawn parts are. There are some problems with distorting faces too much to convey emotions, so some scenes that are supposed to be emotional turn out to be funny, but most of the time it is good looking. The CGI though is horrible, it just pops in and stands out so much it's distracting every time.
The OP and ED are nice, but nothing special.
This was not an enjoyable show, you get the morals of the author pushed down your throat, with a very childish take on what a human is and tricks to make you "feel". With none of the powers being explained all it has going for it is a very few flashy fights.
