[Guyver Spawn]

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.
