Beautifully done series

In the last five or so years there are rare gems that delve into the psychological genre. Inuyashiki is one of those special series to come along with great hit episodes one after another. A story about two people. Inuyashiki who is an elderly chap who is presented with extraordinary powers to help people no matter who they are or where they come from. Yet opposite of him is another who is bestowed the same powers but uses it for his entertainment purposes such as killing people just by pointing his first finger like a gun then shouting the word bang, which kills his victims in a horrible manner.

As Hiro starts to realize that his actions are taking a terrible toll on the public and while on the run from the police he stays with one of his classmates, and her grandmother to escape the law's grasp. In doing so, she convinces Hiro to use his power for good like saving terminally ill people. Although his new path seems foreign his mind is endlessly bombarded with thoughts of killing, which will inevitably lead him down the path to face off with Inuyashiki.

On a scale of one to ten this is definitely a ten star program laced with story plots that intermingle with one another in such a way that the viewer cannot help but root for the bad guy as well as the good guy. Both try to do their best among the populace who are not aware that they have been curing folks across the country but when news or eyewitness accounts begin to build it won't be long until either the army or JDF is brought in to bring them down.

It is a show about moral issues on why it is so important that life must continue on without interference even by gifted people like Inuyashiki, and Hiro. Although they help those by curing terminally ill patients it also presents a problem for big corporations who rely on those sick people to keep buying medication at astronomical prices. Sooner or later more darker regions of the governments will want to know who these two are, and how to take them out quietly if they can.

It is a densely packed series with wonderful action, music, effects, and marvellous acting for each character. I highly recommend this series for audiences aged fourteen and over.
