Y'know, I hear good things about that. Tell me what you think, all I know is that it's apparently good

I watched it, and personally I think it's really good. Definitely my favorite out of the series I watched this past season. In dire need of a second season though.

Only just watched the first two episodes... I can certainly say it's very pretty. But I do hope we get some more explanations about their world soon, because oh do I have questions.
The main character seems fun though, and that I want to know more about the world already is really a good thing because it has me interested. So I think it's off to a good start.

Inuyashiki - I finish the series the other night on Amazon Prime and I only read the first two volumes of the manga. I really like the show, but I can admit that it could have been better.
I did like Ichirou Inuyashiki a lot as the main character because he was very likeable and it was nice to have a main character to be some old dude, not someone in High School o Middle School. You also have the main villain named "Shishigami Hiro". He is a pretty cool villain for the most part. I do felt like the show focus too much on him than the other characters. I really like the first few episodes the most because Ichirou's character is cool and likeable. Another issue with this anime is the supporting cast since most of them felt underdeveloped and could have a bigger focus. In the first episode, Ichirou's family are pretty selfish and didn't really care about what was going on in his life. I do wish his family would have a bigger focus on the story. Not to mention we never got a background of the aliens or any other understanding of the how or why the two characters become cyborgs. The show also deals with themes like what it means to be human when becoming a machine, but never really executed the themes very well. The animation is really good for the most part expect for the CG in some scenes. Some of it look really bad and lazy. I also really like the music in this anime and the intro theme was so much fun to listen too. The voice acting was good as well. Overall, Inuyashiki is a fun show with a good main character, great action scenes and a pretty interesting villain. This show is not perfect, but I still really enjoy it. I do wish it was a 20 episode series instead since the manga is 10 volumes long and 11 episodes is not enough to adapt the manga. I will probably read the rest of the manga and will buy the show on Blu-Ray. I will rate the show a 7/10 (Good). I do recommended the show for people who like Seinen anime or cyborg superhuman characters like 8 Man and Casshan.

For people who enjoy Devilman: Crybaby, here are other titles from Go Nagai that I recommended to check out.
Demon Prince Enma - A soft sequel/reboot to the original Enma-kun. This series features demon hunters and has a similar dark tone with blood, gore and hellish looking monsters. Demon Lord Dante - The manga that Go Nagai created before Devilman. The TV series has a weak animation budget and a somewhat confusing ending. It is still worth checking out in my opinion. Devil Lady - A spin off series and it is different from the manga. I still think it was pretty good in my opinion. Getter Robo Armageddon - I know Getter Robo is mostly Ken Ishikawa work, but it is still excellent. This is one of the best Super Robot Wars anime in my opinion. I consider it to be better than the original Getter Robo series. Mazinkaiser - I don't like it as much as Shin Mazinger, but it's still good in my opinion. I also have a soft spot for it because it was my first Go Nagai title that I saw on a VHS fan sub copy back in the day. Mazinkaiser SKL - Another mecha series. Heavy metal as fuck! Shin Mazinger Shougeki Z-hen (Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact!) - Another modern version of a Go Nagai classic. I remember it even has references to the Devilman manga panel for panel. The animation is way ahead of it's time in my opinion. Shutendoji - Another horror series from Go Nagai. The main character in Shutendoji also loses his humanity to battle demons. Violence Jack - The sequel series to Devilman, but it stands on it's own. The manga never got fully translated. So you may have to set with the OVAs for now. The OVAs are pretty much grindhouse exploitation films. They are not for everyone.

I've gotten back into Urusei Yatsura after like...maybe a year?
Christ I'm pretty sure everyone who worked on this show was on drugs.
