* Based on a science fiction manga series written and illustrated by Oku Hiroya.
Inuyashiki Ichirou is down on his luck. While only 58 years old, his geriatric looks often have him written off as a pathetic old man by the world around him and he's constantly ignored and disrespected by his family despite all that he's done to support them. On top of everything else, his doctor has revealed that he has cancer and it appears that he has little time left in this world. But just when it seems things couldn't get any worse, a blinding light in the night sky strikes the earth where Ichirou stands. He later wakes up to find himself unscathed, but he soon starts to notice that there's something... different about himself. However, it turns out that these strange, new changes are just what Ichirou needs to take a new lease on life and now it seems like there's nothing to stop him from being a hero worthy of the respect that he never had before... unless, that is, there was someone else out there with these same changes...

An old man and a high schooler both get the exact same OP superpowers. The old man uses it consistently to help people. The teenager is highly emotional and he sometimes uses it for good and sometimes for bad. Initially he does bad and kills people, then he turns over a new leaf and starts saving people, but the police won't allow him to escape, this makes him go bad again, and quite horribly.
I really loved the old man's story. But overall it was a wasted opportunity. Difficult to explain well, I was a little disappointed but it was not a loss seeing this story.
7/10

I put off watching this for so long, honestly just not into over the top craziness but I was very wrong about this show. It is very far fetched, out there and over the top but the human element is expertly written. An old family/salary man, average in every way, failing to keep his family together manages to embody the best of humanity and on the flip side a complex antagonist. The last two episodes are masterful. Very emotional.

While far from perfect, Inuyashiki is worth watching simply because it offers a different take on the worn out superhero formula.

Pretty good and beautiful, interestingly can be as enjoyable if you watch it with either your brain on or off -- it has some thought provoking moments but also batshit crazy stuff.
I can only imagine how crazy it can be if it's a long running series, since Gantz manga (same author) is just a mastery of such overarching sci-fi theme. But with how short the series is, it's good for a fans of movies but not so much if you prefer open-ended ones (like me).

A great show all around. Entertaining and thought provoking. Can make you feel sad, angry, and hopeful. I love the contrast between the two main characters in how they respond to their new power. This show has a lot to say about human potential.
It's only 11 episodes. I think everyone should watch it.

show makes no sense many times. why does alien tech have usb 2 or 3 socket? why did they make normal/kind/typical japanese teen have hidden genocidal tendencies that surface once he is strong, but opposite for old man? why does old man hear short/silent cries for help, but never the huge ruckus the antagonist makes? why does the antagonist never hear his friend and the old man? why does the old man not notice his daughter opening the hospital door, etc. also, anime is not about morality despite what it looks. it's more the author's taste justified by some moral themes. disturbing at times.

Great show about how culture and anticulture people works. The first 2-3 episodes were very decent, but still gave me lots of thrills, while the rest was nearly perfect. Must see!
