Cinderella Boy is average in many things. And it is a quintessential anime for it's time (early 2000s). From the art, the sound and the background, it just screams late 90's / early 2000s.

The main story is these two botched a job & are in a car accident. A mysterious scientist operates on them; fusing them together. And this is where the other comparisons come in. Following t…
