I liked the concept, and the first Episodes were very interesting, building the plot and the characters, but it felt dragged somewhere around the middle, most likely to create the tension between characters and events, but in the end, it felt like it could do a lot better. Not a bad show, if you can overlook some very convenient situations for the MC. Animation was ok, considering it's not an action packed anime, so a more still and simple animation works. Story and plot, there were some very convenient situations for the MC, but overall good and intriguing, at least in the beginning. Later on it felt like Tom and Jerry with increasingly high stakes, but not delivering that tension and fear for the well being of the MC and his family.

Definitely have to give a review. Another underrated anime, another missing gems. I could confidently say, this is one of the best, well-written story for an anime standard, if not the best. And, I'm not even exaggerating. No plot holes (at least according to myself), no wasted scenes, no filler bs, no boring dialogues. I've watched almost 400 animes, and I never ever ever ever watched one without wasted scenes. I hate it when an anime shows unnecessary dialogues, or events that don't even connect to the main plot. Really such a well-written story. How the mc was able to come up with all of that, framing the other character, are baffling me. Genius, very structured, entertaining.
Ngl anime that sells the story is what impress me. Not like JJK or Demon Slayer bs who just fight fight and fi…

Story (8):
This is a genius anime, where a husband and wife cover up their criminal acts to protect their daughter. I have never seen a story like this in the crime, mystery, and thriller genres. Although there is no action, here it relies on the way of thinking to deal with a problem and the strategies that must be made. The husband and wife are very smart and very competent in this story, they look like an ordinary family but they are geniuses. Here everything is related to criminal knowledge, negotiation, manipulation, backup strategies, betrayal.
Characters (9):
Here the characters are well written, not cheesy. I like the relationship between Tetsuo and Kyoichi. They are both smart and want to achieve their goals even though they have to be opposites but work together to get the goals…

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, and this anime has its own unique features.

It was entertaining sure wasnt an masterpiece or something memorable like others series but keeps you hook to know how it goes unfolding its not exempt of erros or things that feels kinda off like the way that our protagonist (and the wife also) react or are prepared for such situations on early moments of the series making it kinda surreal and little credible even going further to say that they felt a little cold on how handled everything without too much remorse for a everyday family (taking out the daughter of the equation that didnt play any rol on the events besides of being the point of departure for the overall plot).
I never comment about the seiyuu who make the voices for the characters on anime because for almost all the cases if not every single one of them that i have watched…

My Home Hero is a suspense/thriller anime, offering a narrative that may stretch belief but keeps you hooked with its impeccable pacing and storytelling. While the plot is straightforward, unexpected twists ensure a consistently enjoyable viewing experience. And just when you think it's reached its climax, a new challenge emerges, adding another layer to the suspense. The well-crafted pacing is a standout feature, cleverly concluding each episode with a cliffhanger that leaves viewers eager for the next installment. However, not all characters shine equally; aside from the main duo, others may come off as underdeveloped. Additionally, some character decisions might leave you scratching your head in consternation. Acknowledging its outlandish nature, My Home Hero doesn't always adhere to lo…

Review made by someone who hasn't read the manga before.
History: 10/10
Almost a Western Thriller, suspense, psychological, organized crime and drama. The methods and strategies of the protagonist together with his wife are very cunning, putting all of this together, it captures the viewer in a beautiful way.
Art: 7/10
The appearance of the characters remained somewhat similar to the manga, it is possible to say that the look is great for those who want to watch something serious and mature and that makes you get more into the story. Animation: 3/10
Bad, low fluidity, it's notable that they did it with a low budget, it could have been much better in many ways, such an engaging story should have been of better quality, but even though it was of low quality, the proportions and shapes o…

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 lives and 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

I literally knew nothing about this anime but I saw it in the recently updated list and thought it’d be funny to just jump on it and give it a try and I was kind of impressed. I don’t normally like explaining stuff that I went in not knowing anything about but I figure if I don’t win you over then you won’t be interested so here’s a little something.
This show features a dad, someone who's already gone through what we're used to with anime, but has lived basically a normal boring life. This is the part where you say everything's changed now or he grew tired of it. But the real case is that he's in a strange set of circumstances that keep stacking onto each other where one crime leads to another. Is he in the right or is he in the wrong? Even he doesn't know but he sure feels guilt over it…

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 him who 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 cat…

The story is intriguing, but the animation quality is highly questionable.
The previous statement perfectly sums it up. While the story itself isn't bad, the narrative quality is dubious. There are moments when the series has a fast-paced dynamic, with things happening quickly, but there are also moments when the opposite occurs, lacking a consistent speed.
Now, regarding the characters, I wouldn't say they are bad, but they aren't perfect either. There are instances where their actions contradict the character development previously established, which can be somewhat uncomfortable to watch.
Is it necessary to mention the animation? Well, yes. It's terrible. It's normal for animation quality to decline slightly throughout a season, but in this case, the animation is already poor from t…

"My home hero"
Despite the direction and animation being quite weak, the entire anime gave me a feeling of curiosity and tension.
The desire to want to know how the Nobuto case will end always made me anxious and also excited about what the next situation Tetsuo will find himself in and how he will get out of it.
"Tetsuo", well, he's just a father desperate to save his family, I think anyone would at least try to do the same as he did. Tetsuo's relationship with Kyouichi is very good, it's a shame that this relationship collapses during the last moments of the Nobuto case.
The ending of the last episode was pretty sinister with Tetsuo saying "I know it's going to be okay" with that face. After all that I doubt he's all right in the head.
The story for me is ok, but I think it might be…

And the champion of the suspense anime of the first half of 2023 goes to...you guessed it, My Home Hero!
These are just a few thoughts and impressions, a laid back rant, don't expect a thorough analysis unless I really love or hate a show.
It is not the case with this one for sure. My Home Hero is a quirk because it proves that a shit story and bad quality pictures can hit the suspense brakes really well. There's not much else that it excels at. For instance, this anime is clearly on the train of progressiveness, if not politically, at least through the gruesome contest of gore that seems to be where most consumerist anime tend to attempt at winning, and if you're here to say that MHH gore is benign compared to more bloody and horrendous shows, that says a lot more about the saturated a…

I didn't exactly planned on making this so this is going to be pretty small review.
Everyday life. We got our struggles, we got our hopes. We got someone we love and someone we hate. We got something good and bad at every corner, but we have control over it. At least we believe so, but that's kind of the point. Having a belief, that tomorrow's going to be a better day. But like someone once said, "Life fucks everyone".
Family
For Tosu Tetsuo, his family (his annoyingly oblivious daughter, to be precise) is what rises problems but it is also what grants him power, a reason to push forward. While the story tackles some other notable themes like Justice, Survival, Teamwork etc., it ultimately is about a father trying to protect what he loves, a son trying to get back what he lost, and a fath…

My home hero is a fairly mediocre show, but despite its mediocrity I still found it to be consistently entertaining.
The good:
The first 75% of the story was well done in my opinion. It was entertaining and tense and had progression that felt natural. Despite the show being slightly slower paced due to its genre (compared to the constant action many shows bring) it was still constantly engaging and interesting.
I also think the characters were good overall. The characters felt consistent and acted in ways that you’d expect. The show also did a good job of showing different sides of most characters that needed it. Many of the characters acted extremely or had extreme thoughts, but it never felt unjustified or confusing based both on the characters personalities and the life or death sce…

A very good combination of a modern day problem that can happen to an unlucky individual.
Definitely didn't expect this show to be as suspenseful and drama filled with the main character being just an ordinary salary man who's father was a cop which had to jump through hoops to cover himself up.
The show starts off going from normal to straight to the point and continues with a very nice flow with little to be filler placed inbetween episodes. The characters in the show were made to be modern everyday personalities, such as Tetsuo being the father who'd even self sacrifice for his family, Kasen and Reika making up their family of 3 to the organised crime group with most of them being professional yet stern with their interests.
The show revolves around the act of forcing a loving father…

a let down to say the least , as many would have let you know in the forums, and as an indian i have to point out that this show has a setting that is completely the same as an indian movie by the name of 'drishyam'. if you want to not waste of your time ,and constant cliffhanger cockblockers that amount to almost NOTHING! id rather recommend this movie than my home hero which poses as an mystery thriller and fails on the thriller aspect so hard that the mystery one even if competent falls flat due to the friendly fire.
plot (6/10)
the setting was good , the characters alright so everything was set when we were actually treated with a fairly grotesque and dark setting and themes were represnted properly in the trailer as well, but it all suddenly fell like dominoes on poor direction simp…

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 selfish but 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 stra…

The show in a TL;DR format: great manga, not so great, or shall I say: an even subpar adaptation.
I don't blame you if you don't know who mangaka Naoki Yamakawa is: his first anime adaptation in the form of 100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru a.k.a I'm Standing on a Million Lives, studio Maho Film's adaptation of its 2 seasons back in Fall 2020 and Summer 2021, just does not do the source material enough justice. And at the time of his next forthcoming towards this Spring season, I foretold that if the next adaptation of his much more successful work in the form of the drama and psychological suspense manga "My Home Hero" got the adaptation it deserves, then at the very least, Naoki Yamakawa would be justified in saying that it got the attention and recognition it should have gotte…

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 to an 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…
