Synopsis

Tetsuo Tosu never expected his daughter, Reika, to be a victim of domestic violence. Suspecting that her yakuza boyfriend, Nobuto Matori, is the perpetrator, Tetsuo decides to investigate him and his associates. But as he searches for evidence at Reika's apartment, the father learns that his daughter is not the first victim and that a worse fate awaits her.

When he is discovered by Nobuto, Tetsuo ends up killing him in the ensuing fight. Assisted by his wife, Tetsuo hides the body in fear of retaliation from the yakuza. To add to the misfortune of the Tosu family, Nobuto happens to be the son of the mafia's head. Considered to be prime suspects behind Nobuto's disappearance, Tetsuo and his wife will have to deploy all their ingenuity to protect their daughter from the yakuza and their ruthless investigation.

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 ...

Mixed Feelings

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 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.

Funny

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 simply due to the fact that HO LITTLE THE cliffhangers actually matter in this show , one example is when tetsuo almost gets caught at a place he should'nt be in and that is left as a cliffhanger for us , a week later we come back and see what? the guy JUST MISSES seeing him there , that is it , a week of hype and anticipation all gone! the rest of the plot in general is underutilized and full of holes , the daughter becomes semi irrelavant , most of the cat and mouse games are just repetations of themselves but with a slightly different situation which lead to the same outcome .

characters (6/10)
none of these characters are interesting in the slightest which makes it hard to ACTUALLY PICK A SIDE and support someone , the depth of the characters was almost enhanced when there was a small glimpse of the past of the MC and FMC (ie the father and mother) but that only amounted to a single episode , and somehow we are simply supposed to believe that they can actually go up and murder someone just cz their daughter was harmed by this one dude and the dad is a mystery fan , come on that is not how you want your story to begin if you want to go for a realistic setting! people like tetsou however noble they may seem are MURDERERS and he does not ever show any sign of violent behaviour are actions , and even pities someone he frames for said murder , do you really think some one like that is capable of doing this author?

sound and VA (4/10)
Insufferable mess , the VA of tetsou is usually a monotonous thing , the animations sometimes dont even sync with the lines spoken , the OST is just resued over and over again to the point that this one ost which signifies tetsuo's guilt is almost just stuck in my head when i think of this series! i may have been brainwashed :3.

art and animation (3/10)
please use atleast stock walking and speaking animation? i dont understand why but most of the animation is very incosistent because of this and other visible mistake i know i am no expert but i am pretty sure modern anime should not look this janky.

its a mess , I would forgive plot holes and character motivation inconsistancies if the show wasnt trying to hammer home the "realisitc mystery thriller identity" it is a show you should probably not waste your time on , but if you must , please give only the first two a shot and you will understand if it is worth following this story through.
