Add an animal , especially the dog and everything becomes much more impactful. How we went from sad grandpa griefing about his life coming to an end into spaceship in one mere moment was suprising but hilarious at the same time.

He doesn't have a biological brain but rather some ball in the center of the head , but he's conscious of himself as human , has memories and emotions and not an AI.. Did aliens store his conciousness in that sphere ? And are there water pumps under his face that shed "tears" xd ?

Are those teenagers mentally ill ? Firing fireworks at a person and talking about killing as it's nothing , but then fearing that their lives are over..come on..

I assume there should be a purpose why old daddy was made into a cyborg. I hope this will be a complete and FAITHFUL adaptation so we'll get to know most of the things we are asking now.

Fell in liking Mari from the first moment :) <3

A faithful adaptation is what you don't want lol. A lot of questions are left unanswered.

Animation style? You mean art style?

No, I mean animation style. The CG from scene to scene is awkward to watch. It only plays it off well during the far shots.

This was quite decent but I am somewhat disappointed that they cropped so much stuff here. I hoped this EP to ends with the alien`s ship collision. Too bad, the beginning of the manga is really amazing, with all that heavy/depressing stuff. Inuyashiki family was even more disgusting in the manga. What a wasted opportunity.

But I won`t complain too much. They had to show some actions scenes otherwise a lot of people will hate it.

I started reading manga a year ago, never finished. The begining story about old man and his adventures was bloody great, but then they decided to focus on something else and the quality was going downhill. Hope this will get better ending.

Also shitty endings are Hiroyu Oka trademarks. This guy makes great story but really struggle to end them on a decent level.

Why the hell are people calling those young thugs unrealistic? This shit is happening in real world. In my country some teenagers just burned down a homeless person some years ago. Shoking, but real. Welcome to real world, kiddos.

Very promising. I hope it continues well. I agree that the OP was tight. I didn't mind the 3D, though I noticed it.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

I was actually hooked all the way through. I did hear from several manga readers that the story gets worse later on, but I won't deny that this was a really engaging first episode. The series has the premise of a typical underdog story but with some nice extra flavoring to it (geezer protagonist and cyborg reconstruction). The CGI didn't bother me at all since I've enjoyed shows with much worse (Kemono Friends).

Looking forward to the second episode!

So you mean you're not a fan of how the characters move?
And is there even a style of animation? I am pretty sure there are only two "style" of animation, full animation(characters move fluidly) & limited animation(characters move rather stiff).

The way characters move, their bodies through their facial expressions, yeah.

Styles, techniques, types... Whatever word you want to use for it, it's all the same. Hand-drawn, CGI, stop motion, etc.

One of my biggest weakness in life, is sad old people. This hurt me. Quite a lot. As far as the anime itself, the mix of CG and normal animation was strange, but nothing all that bad. The bit towards the end was pretty damn cool with the slow-mo, and on top of that, this anime struck another of my many weaknesses... happy old people. I look forward to seeing more of this.

From start to end this was a delightful surprise. Whoever directed this did an outstanding job, and we get a lot of insight on inuyashiki's character, especially about how his new body works. Like how he is always thirsty because the water acts as a coolant for his machine body, and how he cannot eat food because it'll mess up his inner body. It also seems like he was given another chance to live and this brings up many questions as to what the fuck will happen. Will he be able to get closer to his family? what will he do with his new found power? save people like he did that homeless guy? we'll just have to wait and see I guess. The opening is catchy as fuck and the more I play it, the more I like it. The animations is surprisingly good considering there is CG animation mixed in but it seems to work well with this show. I'm already super attached to the robotic old man and I hope it stays this way throughout the rest of the show.

Those that wouldn't want to have to frequently smell their poo, and, rarely, even step on it. Plus it's another mouth to fed, and that family isn't prospering. The old man was selfish--he was feeling lonely. They not thinking much of him is a natural thing, when he doesn't appears impressive compared to other parents.

What a great start! I really loved this episode.
It went beyond my expectations. Really like how real he and his life looks, i mean...you can almost feel his sadness and suffering.
I really hope his life gets better. His family is a total trash btw.

The animation is shit, a lot of recycle scenes and there is no one scene that I can consider a good work because there is always a poor movement(very static animation), null work of shots and camera angles, no talented animators and in general the scenes are very poor and it seems like there is no work and no talent behind the draws.

I have read the manga because it was written by Hiroya Oku and in my opinion it is not a good manga, I liked it more or less but is not as incredible as the people say. The problem here is that I hate this chapter, not only because the cheap sentimentality and the incredibly forced script because the manga had it too.

I hated this chapter because of the atmosphere and the timing of the screenplay, the timing is too quickly and the dialogs are very forced without time to process the scenes. And the atmosphere... Well, I think there isn´t atmosphere becuase the manga at least tried to make you cry (with stupid things) but here you can´t sense the music or this moments to think: "wow, that is an unfortunate man" because all is too quickly and the anime haven´t music work or something to manipulate you.

That was pretty good I even shed some tears when they told him he had cancer, that was such a big shock to him.

The animation doesn't look that promising tbh, a lot if CGI scenes and the mc voice is kinda meh.

Those damn bastard deserved that I'm so glad scum kids like those will see hell ahead of them.

Good start I guess this could score 8-8.5 if they go manga original. 5/5

I thought it was a very disappointing opening.

1. Voice actor did not match the image of the old man.

2. Very bland and forgetful opening.

3. CGI dog too? Sad.

Had high hopes for this, hope it gets WAY better. I was expecting something epic, came out lame and flat. No idea how this got anywhere near a 8. Feels like a 6.5 based on the first episode. Emotional scenes felt rushed, didn't really care for the characters.

Just watched the first episode. As someone who has read the manga, I really enjoyed the first episode. The op is rad, the animation is decent, the cgi isn't unbearable ( i like how it's implemented with the mechanical robot stuff). Hopefully, it stays consistent throughout the season.

I really don't know what to think about this show yet. I was really curious about it when I first read the resume and I was looking forward to the first episode. Well I'm not exactly disappointed, but I guess it's not exactly what I was expecting.

What I liked:
- The MC. I feel so much sympathy for him.
- The doggo.
- The OP. I don't like the song, but the video is really something.

What I found disturbing:
- The OP as well, lol.
- His powers are kind of gross. Somehow I never thought the androids in the Terminator movies were gross, I can't explain what's the difference...
- The other characters. I'm not even talking about his family (sadly, things like that can happen in real life), but those kids??? I mean, their hobby is to beat homeless persons to death and they have got away with it up until now??? And what the heck is wrong with that doctor? How can he tell the poor man so casually that he has only three months left?

I'll watch episode 2 and decide after.

Now that first half of the episode was really fucking depressing. And it's much sadder than shit like Angel Beats etc. Why? Because it is real. Because this is extremely relatable to the problems of real world old people, and not just some overused tragic love story. It's not just sad, it's depressing, how true it is. jesus..

probably my #1 new anime this season. Well that's not really something to look up to, since other ones of this season are all shit yet again, anyways.

Also, the OP is amaaazing

WTF

That OP had me wondering what I was watching.

WTF

Old dude looks 78 not 58.

WTF

Aliens are like "oh no we just splatted some dudes, we better rebuild them, but we only have weapons, oh well do it anyways I'm sure it will be fine"

WTF

Those punks are basically murderers.

WTF

This show's hero isn't some teenager (a good thing).

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.

The CGI was crap and it feels like they add it when they feel lazy to do otherwise... If it persists I'll switch to the manga cause Gantz author draws way better than this anime is animated. The old man dialogue was rather insufficient, does he not talk that much in the manga?

What a shitty, ungrateful family he has!
Aliens only had weapons to rebuild them with. LOL!!
Loved how the old man took his new, robotic body in stride.

"It's over. My life is over." Funny how he wasn't thinking about that when he and his friends almost took two lives that night.

He's 58 years old?! I would've pegged him for over 70 at best. That pathetic family of his has caused him to age poorly and unnecessarily.

When I saw the main character, I didn't think I would like this show. While, I'm not against CGI, I didn't initially see the reason for it, so I didn't like it. The character was pitiful, but he was supposed to be. Somewhere along realizing this and realizing that the depression I felt watching this was intentional, I liked the show more. The CGI is well done, and has a reason. You can see a clear direction for the character. And it just seems like it will be good overall. Only question is why he looked so old at 58 and why his family is fucking awful.
