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.

This is an insane 10-episode series based on a manga (which I've never read). It is incredibly dark, incredibly visceral, and at times incredibly emotional. This is a good series, probably even a great series, as I finished it two weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. There are parts that are wholly and completely bananas, like Clockwork Orange level out of control, but the story has layers and it is always more complicated than it seems. Inuyashiki is probably the most interesting character, even though at times you're straining to deal with his intense level of emotional vulnerability. He defies most conventions of your typical super-hero makeup, as he's much older than your normal protagonist. I would say this series is not for children, and really it's not for some adults either. If you're not familiar with anime or manga, you might want to start with something lighter, easier to watch. That being said, if you're all-in with how dark anime can get, strap yourself in, this one's a ride you will remember.Inuyashiki is an unlikely story about and an unlikely hero, and it's certainly worthy of attention.

From the start of this anime everything was well made and had a nice story to it. At some point it started to get weird seeing how one of the protagonist was a bit fucked up how fast He could change opinions. First He killed, then He saved, then He killed, then He saved... Felt like watching a kid in a body of a teenager. Could have just stick with one of them instead of changing them in every few episode. From around episode 8 or so it started to feel like forced plots where put into episode. Massive asteroid is going to hit Earth so missiles would not make a dent in it. Felt like when they first died (old man and that kid) they were meant to die at the end of this anime. 2 extremely powerful beings able to destroy Earth had to die to save Earth from sudden death. From episode i don't really know it felt like fake feelings were put into it. At some point it started to feel that old man from the very beginning of being totally useless was overly powerful and just had to do everything. At the same point that kid wanted some attention and then left alone only to get it too much and lost his way in that world. In the end all i can say is that it started out fun and then turned into weird crap.

In the last five or so years there are rare gems that delve into the psychological genre. Inuyashiki is one of those special series to come along with great hit episodes one after another. A story about two people. Inuyashiki who is an elderly chap who is presented with extraordinary powers to help people no matter who they are or where they come from. Yet opposite of him is another who is bestowed the same powers but uses it for his entertainment purposes such as killing people just by pointing his first finger like a gun then shouting the word bang, which kills his victims in a horrible manner.As Hiro starts to realize that his actions are taking a terrible toll on the public and while on the run from the police he stays with one of his classmates, and her grandmother to escape the law's grasp. In doing so, she convinces Hiro to use his power for good like saving terminally ill people. Although his new path seems foreign his mind is endlessly bombarded with thoughts of killing, which will inevitably lead him down the path to face off with Inuyashiki.On a scale of one to ten this is definitely a ten star program laced with story plots that intermingle with one another in such a way that the viewer cannot help but root for the bad guy as well as the good guy. Both try to do their best among the populace who are not aware that they have been curing folks across the country but when news or eyewitness accounts begin to build it won't be long until either the army or JDF is brought in to bring them down.It is a show about moral issues on why it is so important that life must continue on without interference even by gifted people like Inuyashiki, and Hiro. Although they help those by curing terminally ill patients it also presents a problem for big corporations who rely on those sick people to keep buying medication at astronomical prices. Sooner or later more darker regions of the governments will want to know who these two are, and how to take them out quietly if they can.It is a densely packed series with wonderful action, music, effects, and marvellous acting for each character. I highly recommend this series for audiences aged fourteen and over.
