Synopsis

Ichirou Inuyashiki is a 58-year-old family man who is going through a difficult time in his life. Though his frequent back problems are painful, nothing hurts quite as much as the indifference and distaste that his wife and children have for him. Despite this, Ichirou still manages to find solace in Hanako, an abandoned Shiba Inu that he adopts into his home. However, his life takes a turn for the worse when a follow-up physical examination reveals that Ichirou has stomach cancer and only three months to live; though he tries to be strong, his family's disinterest causes an emotional breakdown. Running off into a nearby field, Ichirou embraces his dog and weeps—until he notices a strange figure standing before him. Suddenly, a bright light appears and Ichirou is enveloped by smoke and dust. When he comes to, he discovers something is amiss—he has been reborn as a mechanized weapon wearing the skin of his former self. Though initially shocked, the compassionate Ichirou immediately uses his newfound powers to save a life, an act of kindness that fills him with happiness and newfound hope. However, the origins of these strange powers remain unclear. Who was the mysterious figure at the site of the explosion, and are they as kind as Ichirou when it comes to using this dangerous gift?

I've seen the titles of the upcoming episodes and I'm assuming each episode is focusing on certain characters? I could be wrong but eh. Anyway this episode does primarily focused on Shishigami- a character we've seen in ep 1 and is introduced more thoroughly in this episode, he's a very unhinged character so braced yourself. There's good news and bad news, good news is that I learned that he was voiced by Chishiya from Alice in Borderland (peak series), bad news is that the voice actor supports Trump so erm... lowkey disappointed. Update, he recently admitted he abused his ex-girlfriend welp. I guess a terrible voice actor voicing a terrible character isn't that far off huh

So I'm only a few minutes into the episode and I already want to throw hands. Everyone is so shit holy. Also our main character does NOT look 58, he looks like... 70+?? Moreover, I'm lowkey creep out, like... this is kinda unsettling for me. Maybe I'm not used to old man being the main character but yeah kinda weird for me. The switches to 2D and 3D probably played a role in this, actually yeah THAT and the fact it feels so grotesque somehow. Also not a big fan of the art style tho.
