Are you ready to do everything for loved ones? Our MC ready and boy he is doing! This is story about Lies, deception and willingness to fight the world in order to protect your loved ones. It's funny to see how mc being extreamly weak manages to find his way around dedly world. All schemas he doing are desperate yet calculated. And MC's wife deserve absolute adoration in her willingness to participate in all schemas. It's not a story like Death Note or Code Geass where there is absolute geniuses fighting each other. Here we only have weak man and women desperatly fighting for their livesand future and in my oppinion, in some way it's better. Also bonus points to title for one of the best buddy\enemy ark in form of Tetsuo and Kyouichi. 8/10

The mystery/crime thriller genre is a difficult genre to create a masterpiece in. A tight-knit story with a high level of suspense, while keeping the contrivances and convolutions low is most definitely a tough task, and even more of a tough task to satisfy all viewers. “My Home Hero” has its fair share of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat at times, but unfortunately, it had a very low budget to work with, making the important moments not hit as hard as they should be. However, it still did a good job at making some of the characters feel realistic toan extent. The set up for the show is relatively simple, as it’s about a normal man, Tosu Tetsuo, doing whatever it takes to protect his family, even it means murdering someone in cold blood to save his daughter. In doing so, he gets the yakuza on his tail, and he has to attempt to diffuse the situation and cover up his murder to save his family. The idea of protecting your family is present in both the protagonist’s and antagonist’s point of view, and the story attempts to make you feel for the characters, even the villains. As with most mystery/thriller shows, there are moments that aren’t particularly well written, and you question the intelligence and consistency of some of the actions of the characters. I suppose the most difficult thing to believe, or something that requires a degree of suspension of disbelief, is how the characters are so skilled in escaping the yakuza, despite being seemingly a normal family. Tosu Tetsuo, the protagonist, gets his skills from reading and writing mystery novels, which is quite an interesting concept, though admittedly a bit flimsy. His wife, Kasen, was quite a highlight of the show, as she was able to support her husband extremely well, and together, they made an excellent tag team. One major complaint I would have is towards the daughter, Reika, who despite being the focus of the initial conflict, didn’t play much of a role in the story, and felt a bit too oblivious to what her parents were doing. What I did like about the characters however, is how realistic they felt at points, especially selling the point that they aren’t experts at crime, especially on the emotional side of things. One might criticize Tetsuo for not acting when he had a chance to resolve the issue, perhaps by killing another person, but you got to recognize, he’s just a normal human being with empathy. I also liked some of the fights, as they were realistically awkward and clumsy, because the characters were never trained to fight. It was a good touch for sure. The other major issue is obviously the animation, which was extremely stiff and took away from the major moments of the show. I honestly feel a live action adaptation might have worked better than this anime. However, the soundtrack was quite decent, and had a level of a thrilling tone to it to help compliment the show. Overall, the show’s fine, but just severely held back by the production values unfortunately. The story had its ups and downs, and requires a fair share of suspension of disbelief. It’s a fine showing of a crime thriller, but lacked the execution to make it stand out from the other shows in this anime season.

Anime seasons as of late have been filled with a hopeless amount of formulaic productions. Season after season of inundating slice of lifes, reincarnation fantasies, and morally binary superhero fighting shows that all seem ostensibly different. Not to say they’re individually bad, in fact, I’ve enjoyed a fair share of them. But it’s important to remember that anime is a storytelling medium. You shouldn’t have to go into a season expecting most of the shows to fit into one of those three categories. And sadly, long were the days of Death Note and Code Geass where we had characters who were manically supercilious and selfishbut also unbelievably charismatic that made you hooked. So with the intriguing premise My Home Hero provides, it’s only natural to get excited about something that strays so far from the usual anime titles. But to answer your curiosity and the ensuing question “Does My Home Hero break the mold?” - well sort of and I’ll explain that in this review. But as a quick TLDR for those who just want to know whether they would like the show or not without having to read the whole review to come to the same conclusion. If you’re someone who appreciates methodic careful storytelling, respects strong characters with conviction, and admires hand drawn animation that flows seamlessly: you’ll hate this. If you’re someone who just wants something different from the seasonal bombardment and don’t particularly care about the finish: you might find this interesting. Or if you’ve exhausted all the anime on your plan to watch because eating without watching something seems so otherworldly in 2023 then I'd recommend you give this a shot. With that being said, My Home Hero is the most disappointing anime of the spring 2023 season for me. Not because of how the show ended up, but what it could have been with its premise and source material. While it does try to adapt something unique in anime. It also shows why anime producers have gravitated to the limited show archetypes they produce within; it’s because they don’t know how to make shows of this kind and using a working formula is so much easier. My Home Hero as a suspenseful cat-and-mouse crime thriller fails in appalling fashion and ends up a weird amalgamation of anime triteness and imitated seriousness that misses what makes other shows of this nature gripping and exciting. While it’s unfortunate that this review will have to address these serious problems of the show, I’ll also explain why it’s good in some other aspects. Tetsuo, the dad, is a frustrating character and detracts from any potential sympathy you may feel for him. On one hand, he’s an admirable family man that continuously shows his love for his family. but on the other hand, he’s just this goofball that feels so alien in the show my home hero is trying to be. He’s constantly getting caught in these shameful predicaments that every storyteller knows not to include because it damages the main character's respectability. Worse than that, he makes these high pitched squeals in the slightest discomfort and makes these embarrassing facial expressions in scenes where he’s just conversing with people that feels so unnatural. He also unironically fist pumps the air every time something goes his way which feels extremely forced. Who the hell does that? It’s this lack of composure and this unnaturalness only seen in anime that makes him seem so pathetic in a setting like this. The sad part is he does some intelligent stuff and is somewhat calculating. But it’s completely overshadowed because his plans are always foiled by variables he hasn’t accounted for or other people outsmarting him. Only for him to somehow weasel out of it by sheer happenstance or submission. That’s bad, not bad for the story per se even with the questionable overindulgence of deus ex machina. But bad if you want to make a main character people can root for because it makes him feel powerless and unassertive. Those wimpy self-deprecating characters might work in a more light-hearted story. But when you place a timid salaryman in a crime thriller, you best give that character some redeeming qualities so he becomes somewhat respectable and competitive in the dog-eat-dog world you place him in. Or make him start off not fit for this world, but slowly and unbeknownst to the characters themselves, morph into someone who does like Rock from Black Lagoon. That’s bona fide development and it makes characters feel more three-dimensional. But these come from a complete lack of understanding of what makes a suspenseful enthralling story. And this lack of understanding is even more apparent in the animation, or more precisely, lack of. To classify something as animation, the things on the screen have to move. In which the characters and background of My Home Hero do very little of if at all. That's bad in just about any show. But especially bad in a crime thriller because you want a lot of subtle facial expressions to accompany dialogue that exemplifies intentions, inner feelings, and the mind games at play that sometimes tells more than the actual dialogue. The characters in My Home Hero just don’t react to the things they’re hearing or react so slowly and obviously telegraphed that you’d think everyone else would catch on to whatever fib they’re trying to hide. But this rigidity becomes so much worse when you look at the beading sweat on their face to convey nervousness. The sweat doesn’t actually pour down their face, it just stays there as the character it’s supposedly beading down mouths whatever they’re trying to say in real-time. It’s this lack of even trying to make the animation look somewhat lifelike that’s so ire-inducing. There’s a point in the show where Tetsuo needs to wear some bandages from a head injury he sustained. They made the bandages into this plastic see-through film that looks like he just put a glass bowl on his head that only propagates the goofy narrative. It’s these things that show a lack of effort or care of the production that makes it so much harder to watch for anyone with eyes. In a surprising turnaround, the opening is actually gorgeously woven to fit the narrative with imagery that plays into the show really well. The difference between the opening and the rest of the show is night and day. You’re shown scenes As Tetsuo walks across puddles and in the snow alone. Representative of the hardships he endures to ensure his family remains safe as he reminisces of the times they were happy. Of a time when his family was happy as he willingly takes this journey of self-destruction for a daughter who shows infinitesimally less affection for him. With scenes of his family together vague enough to be relatable to many but specific enough to feel realistic and heartfelt. As Chiai Fujikawa belts her heart out about a love so profound yet fleeting in an octave high enough to blow Ariana Grande with all the autotune she can muster out of the water. This lethal combination will make even the most hardened anime viewers shed a tear. But the real kicker; the main reason as to why I enjoy and would go so far as to recommend this show to some? It’s because that stupid insolent daughter reminds me of myself. A child oblivious to any of the hardships their parents have to undergo and will complain just about any inconvenience that comes their way. The litany of offences you make that your parents can somehow umbrella under the term “rebellious teenage phase” that only a loving parent affectionately ascribed as a home hero can love. I didn’t even go into the show expecting to get so emotional over a bad daughter. It might be because I’m now a university student studying abroad or the fact that this aired on father’s day and I get to spend time with him after what felt like years. But I get really emotional when Tetsuo randomly blurts out stuff like “Let the three of us continue to live happily”. I see the potential, he’s just a father forcibly placed in shrinking confines of a situation he himself placed his family in because of his blinding love for his daughter. It reminded me of all the things my dad did for me growing up. All the things you never say but do to express love. Driving his son to 6am football practices every week for a school team he wasn’t even a starter for. Buying an insane amount of snacks for his son’s first airplane ride by himself because he was nervous his son might be hungry on the plane. Sending care packages with tons of little things I love to make me feel better during exam period. The show captured parts of that type of love a dad has for their child, in its own extreme way. It's just a shame the show didn’t know how to mix that in with the crime thriller portion of the story and made him sound like a bumbling idiot every time he did something loving or sacrificial. I think that’s something that might resonate strongly with you if you grew up with a loving dad. So that’s why, as everyone trained their sights, preparing to drop and cast this show off as more seasonal schlock. I couldn’t help but choose to fire a blank.

It was entertaining and was never boring, an ordinary man who is neither physically nor financially strong tries to save his family from a rather powerful gang, everything he does is a gambit for the life of all his family members. He needs to pre-plan everything and sometimes things go unexpected, which keeps the audience more entertained. I love strategy stories& this one is definitely on my list of animes & series. As an experienced anime guy, I recommend this anime to everyone, please give it a try, you won't be disappointed. There are minimal characters & details are good, the art style is good, andthis anime has its own unique features.

I was excited for this realistic mystery/crime/thriller as there aren’t too many amazing ones out there- Monster and Kaze no Yojimbo come to mind. To sum up quickly, this anime has an amazing start, gets tedious and fails to find it’s footing, gets amazing again near the end, then slams you with a huge annoying aggravation, before delivering a decent enough ending. The good- the op is one of the best of the season, and thats saying something as I cant remember one season that had so many shows with amazing music. It’s a story about a normal person with nothing special about himwho has to suck it up to save his family, allowing for some interesting growth. The characters all were pretty interesting for the most part, each with their own motivations. The bad- for one, the mob seems to catch on way too fast that their darling member is missing, giving the lead almost no wiggle room to get his act together. They catch on so fast, in fact, that it’s almost unbelievable that they need to play cat and mouse. The pacing seems to also go off- there’s a large portion of the show where it feels like very little progresses. Many of the things that the lead does during this time to throw the mob off seem short sighted and not very well thought out. Animation is average. Its not a bad anime, but not particularly good either. If nothing else, it stands out because it’s different- which may be a nice change of pace in a sea of isekai’s. I might watch it again sometime, but I’d have to be pretty bored.
