Inuyashiki: Le dernier héros

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.

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.

Watched this anime after watching the live action movie and trully enjoying it. The anime has more violence and gore and it explores the characters in a deeper level. The action scenes were okay and the art suited the atmosphere that the anime wanted to present.

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.

I have never felt the need to write a review but today I must. After watching this series I have been truly moved, the exploration of each character and their development was truly astonishing to watch, each character feels human making you truly care for them, yes even for the bad guy. Many people will say that the action is what stands out in the series but for me it was the characters and their interactions. Please give this series a watch.
