    With great power, comes...

    Great series! Could not stop watching it! Ended up binging it on two weekends. Emotionally, reminded me of "Grave of the Fireflies" (one of the greatest animes I have ever seen), just on a different level. Excellent characters. Great story. Great ending. Escapes me how more creative asian cinema is than here in the states. We usually end up doing remakes of their films under different names.

    A bit bizarre, but this is an incredible show.

    There are a lot of bizarre (sometimes nonsensical) moments that would confuse anyone in their right mind. Also, the CGI and animation can be a bit awkward at times. However, it was interesting seeing how the hero and the villain interacted with other people, and how their personalities clashed. The characters, the theme, and the overall plot were done very well.

    It is a very good show and it is definitely worth watching, but it has some pretty trippy moments.

    Cancer is truly mankind worst enemy

    Inuyashiki is a very interesting and refreshing anime to watch if you're tired of the usual mainstream stuff and want to try something dark and edgy that look like it come straight out of the early 2000s anime. There enough shock value and absurdity in this anime to make you laugh like hell or shake your head in disgust, but in the meantime the characters development can be a bit rushed and the horrible CGI animation can take you out of the anime sometime but please don't take anything in this anime seriously or else you will miss out all the fun. I really like Ichiro Inuyashiki as a character not because how rare it is for the main character to be an old man but because anything he been through so realistic while the bad guy Hiro Shishigami who we supposed to hate and he did a damn good job at it just an edgelord for the sake of being an edgelord

    simple but engaging characters with fine voice cast

    Inuyashiki - Last Hero on Amazon Prime Video - a touching sci-fi action anime about a cancer patient accidentally got cured by a space ship, and uses his power to rescue and cure other people. The super villain is a high schooler who also happens to encounter the alien technology, and uses it to amuse himself with random killings. Good voice acting, simple and engaging characters. About 10 episodes, based on a manga series. The main character is voiced by Fumiyo Kohinata, a genuine character actor, who can convincingly plays a variety of roles: cops, teachers, doctors, family man, wise man, humble artist, calculating executive, slimy conman, to name a few.

    One of a kind.

    "Inuyashiki" is an absurd but quite good anime.

    I had to get used to the animation style, but that was done quickly.

    From then on I was able to enjoy the full range of the anime and watch with excitement how differently two people deal with the same power given to them.

    I've asked myself what I would do if such a fate befell me, and I think Inuyashiki wants that too, in part.

    Make the viewer think.

    The anime contains many impressive, sad, shocking, but actually funny moments too.

    The ending is also very satisfying.

    I recommend this anime to anyone who wants to see something different!!!
