I suspect someone/something turned him into a monster, though.
Welp people are free to complicate things, I like it simple and clear concisely covered. Life is already that complex why the need to over-complicate things when it can be simplified?
About the soundtrack, most of the songs are by an English rock band from the 1960s, called The Zombies. Their…
Thank you for the explanation, still I didn't like it. Feel out out of place and as I said it earlier up above. Off-pitch and out of tune. There is a reason they didn't make it as popular as The Beatles were. Even Jefferson Airplane sounds so much better
For the 8 episodes I can only feel it is an action on its finale. Mostly drama or suspense on prior 7 eps. I get it the director is not Japanese, so maybe the cinematography and vibe not very nostalgic to 1970's or even 2000's Shinobi's flicks.
The soundtrack was trying to hard to get into 1960-1970 acoustics but failed horribly for me. They are mostly off-pitch and out of place eventually. Really watering down the scene.
Saving grace is the casting really well done. Story while there are minor plot-holes here and there major line is good. And the twist while it's so predictable still acted well. So if you crave for some Shinobi action try it while so rare nowadays. 7/10

Good acting both the protagonist and the antagonist, either having distinct charm. Even the child actress impressing. Story a bit uneven, excellent ending tho. Leaving a bittersweet after taste. 8/10

1. The mother
2. The teacher
3. The boy
To fully understand a story, in real life we should see it in different perspectives too.
imho the real monster is Hoshikawa father.
