About

"Godlike power given to the least likely people"

An unassuming, terminally ill old man and a troubled teenager are killed and unknowingly rebuilt as nearly indestructible alien-tech bodies. One decides to use his new power to help strangers; the other spirals into violence just to feel something. The show alternates between quiet, melancholy character moments and sudden bursts of brutal, high-stakes action. It's less about spectacle than about mortality, loneliness, and what people do when handed godlike power. The animation blends CG and traditional style unevenly, but the emotional core and escalating dread keep it compelling.

Watch it for

the wrenching contrast between an old man's quiet kindness and a teenager's spiraling cruelty.

Maybe skip if

you're bothered by inconsistent CG animation or sudden graphic violence.
