My Home Hero is a thriller anime about murder where a salary man and his wife try to hide a body of one of the yakuza members which was abusing their daughter, now the yakuza is after him and his wife (as of episode 3 the yakuza does not yet know it was them but are suspecting it was)
This is my first review on MAL so I'm just going to wing it and hope my point comes across, please note that I am writing this as of the release of the 3rd episode which I just finished watching.
Firstly I want to point out reasons
...
why this anime is sure to get a below average rating:
➡ The animation, the animation is below average for a 2023 anime, there is a lot of still frames, badly drawn frames, and overall the shadows and lighting aren't great.
➡SFX/Music, The sound effects weren't overly bad or didn't take me out of the environment/story but it wasn't anything that would appeal to someone who doesn't enjoy anime or someone who only watches the big hits, this may be annoying for some but it should be ok. (The ending song is amazing though)
➡The rating is 17+, if the action it has will keep staying the same as it is then I think this rating is way to high and should be lowered, unless something changes, but besides that I think the age rating might put some people off.
Now while all of these reasons are valid points I think this is a must watch, it might not seem like it but I'm a big guy when it comes to animation, if you go onto my list you will see most of the anime I watch are either high budget productions with amazing animation or they are heavily stylized (e.g. Kaiji), animation is one of the biggest factors that determines if I watch an anime or not (one of the reasons I haven't watched many old anime) another thing I don't overly like is thriller murder stories, it's not that I dislike them, it's just that they don't overly appeal to me, so it seems like I would be the guy who hates this based on that, but I like it, have full faith when I say that this anime has some of the most true feeling emotions, every emotion that the characters feel I could see myself feeling if I was in such a situation, the raw emotion is crazy and it will leave you feeling empty, next is that the plot is just really exciting and while you know that the mc will somehow get out of the situation, it leaves you wondering how will he get out of the situation right until he gets out, sometimes you might even be thinking that he won't.
This anime is sure to get a low rating, but I bet if you give the first 3 episodes a chance you will get hooked and will enjoy it, that's coming from the guy who hates bad animation, bad music, and dislikes murder thrillers.
