About INUYASHIKI LAST HERO

INUYASHIKI LAST HERO (いぬやしき) arrives as an action anime by MAPPA (2017), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Ichiro Inuyashiki is down on his luck. While only 58 years old, his geriatric looks often have him written off as a pathetic old man by the realm around him and he's constantly ignored and disrespected by his family despite all that he's done to support them.

Along the way, on top of everything else, his doctor has revealed that he has cancer and it appears that he has little time left in this world. Just when it seems things couldn't get any worse, a blinding light in the night sky strikes the earth where Ichiro stands. He later wakes up to find himself unscathed, but he soon starts to notice that there's something…different about himself.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Mari Inuyashiki (Sumire Uesaka) and Naoyuki Andou (Kanata Hongou) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 11 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
