My annoyance of teenage characters has gone up even more thanks to Hiro.

Good thing Hiroya Oku's storytelling is so decompressed, because this show's supposed to cover 10 manga volumes in just 11 episodes, and it's managing to do that without feeling rushed, at least to me anyway.
And the horribly disturbing material with Shishigami and that family reminded me of why I ended up not reading the manga past the second volume, but I intend to stick with the anime until the end. |

I hope the staff is making a different ending, because man, was the last arc of Inuyashiki bad. Watched the 1st episode, but remembering how the manga was, i'm not going to bother watching this series till the end.

The review says that this show is streaming on Crunchyroll, and it is not.

Was pretty disappointed with ep. 2 honestly. EP 1 goes to great length to make Ichiro feel real and an interesting character. Ep. 2 just show Hiro being an evil bastard... because... I get that were just supposed to hate him, but he feel so cartoonish and uninteresting that can't even bring myself to do that. He's just there. If he wasn't so prominent in the OP my guess would be that he's just the first bad guys there to set the main character on his path or help him awake his full power or something.
But where is the show going to go from here on? There's no justification for what Hiro does so I don't care about his backstory. Interesting bad guys have some sort of reason for doing what there doing, something that make us secretly root for them. Hiro is just an amoral asshole. |

I enjoyed the first ep., even though it featured one of the most contrived ways of gaining super-powers in anime history. But the second had me  quite a bit since it seemed to go for the ultimate shock value just for the heck of it. I'm pretty sure there would have been ways to get the message across without going quite that far...
I've never read or watched Gantz but from what i've heard about it, i'm slightly worried about the direction this show might take. I do agree with the review that it looks pretty nice, though. |

No, Hiro is a sociopath. The kind that cannot feel remorse for his actions. These type of people do exist in real life. If they had super-powers it's reasonable to assume some of them would act like Hiro. Also no, most interesting bad guys don't make us secretly root for them. I don't know why would would think that. |

Episode two made me rethink what my best of the season is as innovative as Land of The Lustrous feels episode two of Inuyashiki crafts a more compelling charcter narrative and has more emotionally invested.
So I have to say that this series has my attention both for the differences between the villain and the hero and that the Hero is so utterly different than the average Manga or Anime heroic protagonist. |

dont' remind me and about hiro, he is an apropiate villain and a good/decent oku hiroya character, things are not as shalow as they look, but also are not the obvious direction, which is ne thing I like about oku's works. most of my favorite moments from gantz come from oku setting up a nice narrative arc, then ending up abruptly because something more important is going on. |

Inuyashiki has the ultra-violence of Gantz but having a hero in it that makes it feel a bit more optimistic. There is nothing wrong with a show that has a despicably murderous villain in it as long as you have a good person fighting them. Also it is nice to hear that the anime will cover the entire manga since that means it will have a real ending to it.

Yeah, I found Hiro to be pretty chilling. I think he is a "good" villain in that he is grounded in a real condition - sociopathy - that is rendered in a fairly realistic way. I despise him, of course, but he doesn't feel like a cartoony villain. I am really hoping to see Ichiro kick his ass. Anyway, consider me hooked.

Wow, I was absolutely not prepared for the brutality of episode 2. Holy shit. Also, I think there's some interesting things to be said about the nature of a villain who takes the idea of "I only care about my friends and family" to the logical extreme. Also, his constant references to One Piece may be playing off that manga's obsession with 'nakama', and the idea of friendship above all else, even at the expense of others. This could be the anime of the season. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
