The score of 6 let me think that Zetman will be bad, but it definetly deserve a 7 or a 8.
This anime is good, you got old scientist who creating dangerous creature which run out of control, a main character with badass hidden hability, almost authentic love story ( without annoying fan service, women are not over-sexualise by other character) and some rage moment wich are pretty satisfying. The story, as you could gess, is pretty generic ( like tokyo ghoul, kiseiju and a bit like devilman ) but it's coherent and the animation is relevant (better than lot of crap 2D or 3D animation which have higer score *humm first episode of kingdom* ). The story-line doesn't spend time in boring explanation, action are promptly coordonate and there are a lot of explanation explane by camera angle or expr…

The last two episodes managed to drop my rating from an overall 8 rating to a 2. I've only been this pissed off with anime 3 times in my life, congratulations. I won't spoil and while I know some people might find the way the anime ended fine, it really isn't my thing and I can't reommend the anime thanks to that.
Right as Kouga starts sounding like he knows what he's doing and that he'll start being a decent character, he just drags the anime back downhill and into the pits of hell, being probably the worst anime character I've had the bad luck to stumble upon. The whole anime ending is unsatisfying, ruining the nice building the anime had the effort to build throughout all episodes. It really is a shame, it feels like the author wanted to have some non-clichê ending or something like th…

ZETMAN Review : SPOILER FREE
👌🏼 Very well rounded anime, action, thrill, suspense, story, soundtracks characters...
Ofcourse it could be better, in a few places but I would be nitpicking... It almost felt like I was watching a Hollywood movie for the entire time... There is a little bit of skin show as well, but only for a few seconds, nothing cringe worthy as it is very well blended in with the story and doesn't feel forced, like in many ecchi anime... Moreover as it's a seinen anime, it's totally acceptable and I shouldn't complain on that...
Ending could have been slightly better, but its not even close to bad. I am surprised that I didn't come across this anime earlier...
A very enjoyable superhero anime...
Animation 9.5/10
Action 9/10
Story 8.5/10

ZETMAN, I found to be very inspiring that two people, one who came from a poor upbringing, who has been through so much heartache that anyone person could endure in a life time, and the other from nobility and just wants to devote his life to "justice" an do whats right, but both have their own different ways of doing what they believe in this case is both, "just" and "right". I won't spoil anything as I hate spoilers, but the beginning is very sad, as the one with the poor up bringing, had no such knowledge of the world, so doesn't even know what being dead means, and not knowing that you cannot come back from that, and doesn' even know what the feeling of being sad or shedding tears is, this anime well, with the way Zet looks, like a zoalord from the anime guyver. It's really a great ani…

Pretty good. At least Konoha still has a shot at him and i thoughtt he couldnt return to human at full form but apparently he can change to human and zet at will now, meaning he can have sex as he pleases. She still loves him at the end which is a bonus considering no normal female can love him after witnessing his transformation . Quite the superhero movie posing as a villian to others but in the shadows he's a hero. Kougas way of justice is messed up, i think someone dropped him as a baby. This is 10x better than devilman crybaby. I truly ship Konoha x Jin from the beginning. 9/10. Her brother is a maniac/villian here but eh... It's also a shame they skipped some parts of the manga into the anime...

Animated by Studio TMS, which never produced an above average work (its best attempts were Hundred Stories, Kenichi, and D.Gray-Man). Directed by Nabeshima Osamu who has directed all sorts of shows over the years, from children’s, to mahou shoujo, to fighting shounen. None of them managed to be above average either (the most famous amongst them are Saint Tail, Hamtaro, D.Gray-Man, and Lost Canvas). Can’t say there is much to expect from all that.
Zetman seemed very promising at first to me. It was dark, it had rather realistically drawn characters, it was very violent, and had people turned to monsters and using lots of gruesome superpowers. It would be a nice change from the average superpower shounen with its comical goofy kids and never-dying cast. And yet the anime managed to make me…

TLDR; Instantly forgettable, with some redeeming points.
Zetman has a few redeeming features in it. I found the premise interesting, but I could never connect very well with any of the characters and felt them all to be a bit standoffish, with one or two exceptions. Because I hadn't connected with them, the ending (which I assume would be more shocking and more eliciting of emotion if you read the manga) felt like another drab turn.
That having said, I did enjoy watching it, and have no regrets having done so. I do think that if it had had more than 13 episodes it might have been able to invest the audience more deeply in the characters and story rather than dash through it at lightning pace.

"Justiça", é uma palavra um tanto curiosa, me pergunto até agora "o que é a justiça?". Bom Justiça de acordo com o google, seria um equilibrio, uma igualdade que deve ser razoável e imparcial entre os interesses, riquezas e oportunidades...
Não está só resumido em "fazer o bem", pois assim como o "bom" pode ser interpretado de um jeito, o "mau" também pode, e assim a "justiça" é, cada um tem seu tipo de justiça, claro que a justiça que o google fala é muito boa, mas não esta certa, porém também não esta errada.
O curioso do anime, é que a "justiça" ali teve dois lados, uma pessoa que só fazia a "justiça" como resultado de suas ações, e outra que a "justiça" era mais uma desculpa para receber elogios. Salvar pessoas, é justiça? Ao meu ver "salvar pessoas" não é justiça e…

This anime doesn't stand too far out from other anime and manga like Guyver and Devilman. But that is fine and not where the problem lays.
Starting off there are a few things that start off rather ludicrous and out of touch with reality. I give those a pass and then the anime begins to pick up and I enjoy the pacing.
but then things are thrown in that aren't properly explained and are just completely ignored. One thing is something you'll come to see called "The Ring of Exposure" which is all I'll say without spoiling the story.
The character Alphas feels interesting and unique. You go on an emotional trip with him but that emotional trip is rushed and his character arc falls flat on it's face towards the ending.
Some things regarding Zetman's powers are never explained and the anime e…

What would you do to bring justice to people? How far will you go? What sacrifices will you make?
These ideas and more are explored throughout this show. Both in show and tell. It was another one of those days where i chose a random anime to watch and see how it goes. As always, my rule when doing this is that the show has 3 episodes to hook me or i just drop it and move on to another. There was no need for this one though. So let's explain why.
Story: 9
A show about two friends out to fight crime. One a rich kid with a sense of justice straight out of a Saturday morning superhero show. The other a slum kid who does it because the people need saved......and maybe to make some money along the way. A common goal forged by two different views. Can you see the picture I'm painting here? I'm…

What can I said about it? It was an anime with enormous potential and up until episode 12 that potential existed. The last two episodes though basically screwed everything up. The anime starts kinda all over the place, but until the last two episodes is nothing that cannot easily be fixed. I will not give spoilers to the ones that still want to see it but you will be disapointed by the resolution of he show. Also Kouga is just a puppet from beginning to end even though he could have grown into a great character. The Jin character also develops quite nice until the last episode when I guess the readers decided to do some marijuana or something because this seems to be the only explanation for what happens.

I was suprised by this Anime, Didn't think I'd like it that much.
Zetman is a Seinen. If you like violent stories, full of psychological warfare, Full of Blood, Monsters. You will surely and truly Like Zetman.
The Story was a bit confusing at first, Getting clearer and clearer throughout the Anime. Monsters created by Humans break the law and start killing they're creators. I liked the story.It's a dark anime. Violence everywhere, Blood everywhere, And bunch of psychological mind games happening to the characters. I gave it a 8.
The Art was good. Unique Art which differs from other Animes, Although I did not find it was the best, But yet good enought. I gave it a 7.
Sound. Some Good OST's, Okay Sound Effects, Good Voice Actors. I gave it a 7.
The Characters, I fell in they're story, Ve…

This is my short and hopefully sweet review of Zetman, which is an action anime that revolves around human engineered monsters called players, the rebellion of these "players" and the growth of the player hunter Zet.
The show in it's self isn't a bad watch. The art work, action scenes, voice acting, and characters, are all very good in my opinion. You can also tell there is a story good here. But without ever reading the manga, you can also tell that everything is rushed plot wise because of the series only being 13 episodes long.
Everything appears to be disjointed or very hard to believe because the show expects you to have knowledge of the manga as well. Also to keep up with the time constraints, key plot points in the anime differ from the manga. Which isn't bad when done right "see…

What is the true meaning of justice? Is it doing the right thing no matter the situation, or achieving the right result no matter the cost? This is the question that ZETMAN centers around. What may seem like the right thing to do can actually end up not being the case and vice-versa, as shown many times throughout the series. The decisions that one comes to based on their kind of justice will undoubtedly vary from person to person. Thus, ZETMAN attempts to illustrate the effects of various viewpoints on justice within a city that is riddled with evil and crippled by the conflicting mindsets that its inhabitants carry.
Art 7/10
Personally, I found the art to resemble the quality of rough sketches that have been coloured in. The sharp strokes and uneven outlines of the artwork, although I…

"Zetman", the story of genetically engineered "creatures" who fight for the amusement of powerful men. The story is simple, clean, and to the point. There is nothing overly deep here, but there doesn't need to be. For a 13 episode series "Zetman" was loads of fun and not as predictable as one may think. Sure the characters were cliche but the direction in which the story takes us was fresh and fulfilling. Most questions were answered by the last episode and the ones that weren't didn't really important.
The character models were really well done. Facial expressions were well defined, noses were realistically shaped and, lips were plump and rounded. However, color could have been used more rigorously while structural art was utterly forgettable with the exception of one or two scenes.

It's a bird, it's a plane' it's ZETMAN!!! This is my very first review and I'm glad I started it like that. Since this is my first review I will try my best not to write a bunch if garbage. Zetman is an anime I have been looking forward to ever since I saw the 2012 anime lineup online. The superhero genre does not really exist in anime since the only real superhero anime out there is Astro Boy, which is considered a classic and one of the first shonen anime/manga. The superhero genre I personally think has the potential to be a great addition to so many things that already make anime great. It can make you forget about slice of life and psychological thrillers if it is done properly. Zetman could have put this genre on the anime map. But like this review's introduction, this anime is anyth…

Animation: quite standard but the artists dare to give a lot of details for the facial expression
Character Design: could have been better actually
Story: quite so-so. Just another "choosen one" type of story which in the end ended up like the Dark Knight (Batman) i.e. trying to protect the city from within the darkness.
Good Points: harsh reality tested on one of the characters, i.e. that the idealistic justice is unrealistic.

Zetman was certainly one of those animes that had me a bit torn on whether or not I liked it. It certainly was different from a lot of the animes I do watch.
I felt Zetman's strongest aspects were its artwork and story. The artwork for this anime was just gorgeous. This didn't have your typical shonen cartoony animaton feel. It had a dark, gritty story and had the animation to go with it. The story itself I felt was very solid as well. I was hooked as soon as I saw this was about a boy with supernatural powers born from the very monsters he was hunting. What made this story's dynamics even more interesting is when Jin befriends Kouga and Konoha Amagi, two aristocratic children who also share the same goals as Jin, even though Jin knows about the darker, deeper evils that lurk within the s…

"To be the man, you gotta beat the man".
- Ric Flair
Being a superhero is never easy, especially when you try to live a double life. Superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman deals with the dangers they get exposed to on a daily basis. They feel like it's their responsibility to protect the innocent and deliver that strong sense of justice. After all, justice is the judgement of truth and to uphold such a sense comes at a great responsibility, sacrifice, and lives.
Then there comes a hero at the darkest hour. He is ZET. Enter Zetman.
The story is set in the modern times with technology that passes our own in the real world. Such technology of course brings forth wealth, prosperity, hope, but also crime and monstrosity. Luckily for the good folks, we have heroes.
Now, to call…
