| I think the concept was well made, but the execution less so. It threw at us a lot of themes that just went unexplored. Like many, the first episode made me think it would be about neglected senior citizens and ill folk, but nope, Inuyashiki was just neglected by his family because they take him for granted. He saves a bunch of people on live TV and suddenly they feel like he is family again... It wasn't very convincing. Shishigami was a well-depicted character in my opinion. In fact, I felt there was too much attention on him, what with his progress from "kid eager to test his god powers" to "kid with a vengeance because the police shot my homies when I raked up 4-stars from killing random NPCs". Inuyashiki hardly got anything in comparison. Also, I liked how the story only gave them one showdown instead of the bajillion recurring duels that shonen protags and antags often do (*ahem*Inuyasha*ahem*). But the build-up was just so poor that I wasn't sure what I should feel when it happened. All-in-all, 6/10. Great concept and good characters ruined by poor storytelling. If people asked me to describe 'wasted potential', this is my foremost example. |
| Predictable ending, but emotional nonetheless. Also, before anyone calls it out, Hiro sacrificing himself made sense because he was only doing it to save the few people that did matter to him. It's not like he had a sudden change of heart towards humanity. If anything, it shows how deep his love runs for Shion and Chokko if saving them meant having to sacrifice himself for the rest of mankind that he hated so much. 8/10 for me. |
| it was a great project a lot here of Shonen lover won't understand it perfectly. |

| My feelings for this are all over the place. The first episode was the best episode to me. It had a lot of ups and downs after that. The ending felt very rushed and left me disappointed. Wish it had a couple more episodes to make the pacing better. The crying faces were so terrible and would ruin whatever scene they were used in. 6/10 |

| I absolutely loved this series,i think it was the best 2017 series + one of my mew faves? I dont really understand why and nor do i want to understand why people dont like this show,i think it was super good. The beautiful detailed characters,very entertaining fight/action,and then just the unique amazing story. I was really sad to see Inuyashiki and shishigami both go but i guess they did what they had to do :(( This show had me in tears,laughter,and cringeness on how stupid i thought it was at first aha but im glad i watched it! Also,the part where Donald Trump is on the news and acts like a ignorant fool was so damn accurate i couldnt stop laughing ;D |

Loriental said: @Jacob_Chimera Thats pretty much my only or biggest problem with the show, how bad some of the important stuff is conveyed.At least from what I got from the first episode Inuyashiki could almost be considered a victim of domestic abuse.Hell, he was trying his hardest to make a living for them and was only met with Ingratitude and them being embarassed about having an old and poor dad.He was feeling so not at place in his home that when he discovered he had cancer he went for a walk with his dog at the park instead of staying with his family. I felt that all of this was completely overlooked in the rest of the anime, specially when that was the introduction of the first episode. I can see why you can enjoy the show though, I didnt actually hate it or anything, I even finished watching it, its one hell of a premise and it is definitely a new outlook.Now a days most media is on the perspective of kids or young adults, with old people being the vilains.In this show we see a lot of the hardships of the older population and the worst sides of the younger.That old bum in the park being attacked by that gang and those school kinds being bullys in the train were really cool scenes to me.I do feel bad that the anime deviated from this later but its still deservers the credit. The show did kind of skip over developing Inuyashiki's family, heck, even the manga saves their development for the second half, so it is a little underwhelming when they're finally brought into the story. I honestly wish the stuff with Mari had happened earlier because her character arch almost feels like an after thought in this. Just as you pointed out, I also like that an older character is the protagonist. So many movies, shows, and books from all over the world focus on nothing but teenagers, so it's really cool when someone makes the main character a middle or late age adult. Inuyashiki kind of had the focus pulled away from him in the middle with Hiro getting most of the attention for a few of the episodes, which was a bit disappointing, but the ending brought the attention back to the hero of the story, which was nice. |
| I kinda figured it would end with both of them dying still a fun show so it gets an 8/10 for me. I laughed at the Trump scene though pure gold |

ellie_a94 said: So after the last episode I realised there may be some meaning to Hiro's name. The anime is called Inuyashiki the last Hero and Hiro is pronounced similar to hero. Since in the end Hiro chose to die as a hero, maybe the name was not only a coincidence... I don't think Hiro is a hero, since even in the end, he sacrificed himself to save the few people he loved, and probably also to escape the harsh reality that the same people have all severed ties with him. |
| OH BOY WE GOT FREAKING DONALD TRUMP IN ANIME NOW. And they freaking nailed him too, he's making anime great again. They also nailed the way dogs trip sometimes and recover almost instantly. I figured they would both sacrifice themselves to save the earth, thought they'd do it together though. And with that, this anime comes to an end. And now for my score. I''m going with an 8/10, a damn cool ride from start to finish and one hell of an experience, though a bit flawed in my opinion by how over the top things got towards the end, but only a bit. I wasn't bothered by the CG at all, it was extremely noticeable, but it did it's job fine, and didn't look like garbage. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Wow... What a shitty way to make Hiro a Hero... As asterod become the deus ex machina... First few episodes were epic... And it all went downhill after they decided to focus too much on Hiro... And BS logic.. Finale - 2.5/5 Rating - 6/10 |
 |
| Great ending. I literally cried at the end. |
| WHAT A SAD AMAZING ENDING !!!!!! |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| What an ending, nothing can really atone for all the lives he took... but props to both for going out with a bang! 9/10 |
| I don't know how to feel about the ending. It just seems sort of rushed. The meteor almost seemed like it came out of nowhere even though its presence was hinted several episodes ago. Perhaps that element should have been more central to the plot? Regardless I'll give it an 8/10 for now. It had some touching and suspenseful moments that kept me interested, plus I liked the current pop culture references it used that makes the series seem like it's in the same world as our own (Trump LOL!). The OP was great, although the animation quality lowered significantly during the last couple of episodes. |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| Wow uhhh looks like people either hated it or loved it. I personally loved it. To me this anime overall was able to cause me to feel a range of raw emotions due to the MC and antagonist going through some shit. Depressing shit. Yeah the asteroid was kinda outta shot out then forgotten then mentioned again at the end but overall the story conveyed the raw emotion of death, life, terror, sadness, happiness, and joy. That moment when Mari coughed was joy. That part where the dog scratched on the door and then fell down the stairs in his rush down was sad. That part where the airplanes were all coming down - or the sheer psychopath terror of watching the whole family killed in each room, or the tragedy of having cancer and your family not caring- In regards to Hiro acting out of character- I honestly think it was a human aspect to it. People don't commit evil acts out of randomness. There is a logic to it. In addition if he didn't randomly latch on to helping people to gain his classmate's and grandma's approval- why even bother saving the earth in the first place? He already said he was gonna kill everyone in the country lol. Thieves have codes, and so does Hiro. Obviously it's twisted but it still makes sense to him. This show in the end was about humanity. About being human. And it makes sense that it would confront it the most when the two main characters had it taken away from them. |
| Went downhill after a while. Tried to do too much |
 |
| FUCK! Idk how to feel about that ending, but ohmygod the fucking feels! As much as I wanted a happy ending, this was a great ending for Inuyashiki, though it was so fucking sad. Inuyashiki-san's family saw him on TV that he was that MIRACLE. He's the same Inuyashiki-san. Gaaaaah. I was scared for a sec there that the Inuyashiki-san we knew was not the real Inuyashiki-san. Glad his wife was there to make sure it's really him. My fucking heart. Jesus. Hiro scared the fuck outta me when he was there in front of Andou in his room. Waaaah. But yeah Hiro was there to like change and he still looks at Andou as his friend. Hiro really is scared of Inuyashiki-san and yeah Inuyashiki-san is much more powerful than him. Hehe. Hiro is still a human being who made the most fucked up choices. He still cares for that old lady and Shion. He self-detonated for the sake of them both. Fucking sucks that an asteroid was the end of them both. I sincerely wanted to know more about those aliens who made them into a cyborg, tbh. (If they were really aliens lmao) I felt so empty not knowing about them. Hilarious that Trump appeared there and they still made him look like an ass. Hahahahaha! My fucking stomach. WHERE THE FUCK IS NASA!?!?! I MEAN BRUCE WILLIS AND HIS GANG CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT FREAKING ASTEROID! HOW COME NOBODY CALLED BRUCE WILLIS, BEN AFFLECK, AND HIS GANG FOR HELP!?! FUCK THIS SHOW! Hahahahaha! Probably, they were made for this. To self-detonate and save the earth, but STILL WHERE THE FUCK IS BRUCE WILLIS AND HIS GANG!2ZLMNEBKASHBGFASIBGSDG! All kidding aside, I thought this was a beautiful ending and it was satiating, but yeah it's too sad for me. I cried so much when that precious inu chased after Inuyashiki-san. ;-; Poor Inuyashiki-san's family, poor Andou, poor Shion. But I hope them two will be the hero of the world. As much as I hated Hiro, he still saved the earth and I think it pays for the horrendous acts he did. Lastly, so happy for Mari that she won! WAAAAAH. I guess the legacy of Inuyashiki-san lives on with her manga. Huhu my fucking heart. I'm going to miss this anime so much. I love love love this show so much! :) 5/5 for this episode, and 9/10 for the entire series. <3 Definitely the AOTS for me! :) |

| for me, this anime is good enough... the ending is predictable of course, and they did it right... too bad, both of the robots die... *Aerosmith start playing* and yes, Mari makes a manga about her father... that Trump though, didn't expect that... lol 9/10 from me oh and the live action is coming too... welp |

smoledman said: I changed my vote from 10 to 1 for the ridiculous Trump caricature. Way to blow immersion and ruin what could have been a great anime. Now I'll always remember the Trump thing. Good doing fuckheads. Pretty much this. Anti- Trump rhetoric and a clusterfuck finale ruined an otherwise truly great series for me |
| It was horrible !!! |
| Way too rushed for me. So much stuff, hard to feel empathy for the characters this way. Overall I don't care about Hiro, he deserved it, but Inuyashiki was a good man. I like the ending but I would have preferred if it was 12ep. |
| The pacing was too fast. There could be a bit more emotion in the last episode, but it's fine as is. Felt sad for both Inuyashiki and Hiro. They both accepted their "fate." One who lived his whole life as an unremarkable person finally found meaning in his life. The other, almost driven to madness by what happened to him, proved that the veil between good and evil can really be thin. Hiro was quite a "chaotic" character, unpredictable at times. Overall, a fitting closure. 8/10 |
| such a powerful episode imo, nothing much to say, a bittersweet ending, but even though it felt rushed at times it worked 8/10 |
 |
| Emotional ending. Both offer their lives to save the earth especially Ichiro. I think it was a good show. It could be better, but. Oh well... |
| So they adapted 85 chapters into 11 episodes. Wow. |
 |
No! Gantz is a shit manga. No reboot!  ^Hiro said so. One piece 4 life! |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| " I felt like riding rollercoaster of emotion" There are so much meaning of life showed in this series, even someone who almost had no emotion at all (hiro) still had person that he loved and he cared. Even when you feel like you have no meaning to be alive, you still had believed that you can do anything right (inuyashiki) I really like that they inserting some reference to gantz(the author also the one who make gantz), MWAM (the OP singer), and Qaijff( the ED singer) and they also inserting some fresh breaker like funny scene when mari following inuyashiki and andou, and the "trump" thing LOL the conclusion, i really enjoyed this series to the best, a lot of emotion poured in it, laugh,cry,surprised,etc.. everything in it. Thank you Hiroya Oku-sensei who made this masterpiece( and gantz too XD) 10/10 from me |
| This was an excellent show. Towards the end I was nearly bought to tears. Inuyashiki-san is a true hero. |

| I'm glad to see Inuyashiki's family bonding here. The ending is pretty rush and predictable to me. However,it's good to see a glimpse of what happened to Inuyashiki's family after his sacrifice to save the world . His son finally fight back his bullies and Mari won the manga award. Hiro came back to Chokko/Ando and try to be like what they used to be but even his best friend won't except him too. Well at least he decided to sacrifice for those he loves. ...that trump speech tho.. The ending is little bit anti-climatic but it's fine to me. Overall, this anime has decent start but rush ending and bit of dragged of story in the middle. I was really enjoyed so much watching this anime from the first until 6th episode and episode 10(mainly because Inuyashiki kicked Hiro ass). Second half of this anime is just so-so to me. At least this anime is faithful to the manga. It got so much potential but it would be great if the not dragged the Hiro killing part too long. I'm still curious about the alien that gave Inuyashiki and Hiro power. It would be great if there are more explanation about them. Hiro is a character I love to hate. Inuyashiki is the character I always cheering on and his actions always gripped my feelings. It still pretty enjoyable ride. Not great but not too bad. It's a decent anime. |
| Stay here and die with us. ^ wtf LOL at the dog falling down the stairs. Not too surprised Hiro became a hero at the last second. 5/10 (average) Good action when it was there. Everything else was "meh". |
