Kouga was really pissing me out with all that BS about justice. He looked like a 10 year old boy who can only think in one single way and believes his view is right. Even in the manga.

Well, the show went from 4/10 to 3/10. Even without without reading the manga, I would still rate it this low. It was just... one weak mess.

Reading the manga will turn anyone enraged at one of the worst adaptations I've ever seen.

I started reading the manga back in 2007 and it's great, nothing compared to this mess.

Not having read the manga, what I can say is this series was overall quite fun to watch, but the rushed pacing, lack of development of some characters, etc, made a potential 8 or 9/10 to become a 7/10 imo.

The ending itself wasn't particularly good but it was satisfactory nevertheless. I'll definitely read the manga sometime in the future.

And it´s over...
Aside from basically butchering another superb manga adaptation, even as an individual series it had so many shortcomings: The script was a mess, summed up with bad pacing and rushed presentation that made things have less impact than it should have. The plot was full of convenience and implausibility, and a notorious ammount of plot holes can be found with good attention.
Probably the worst part is how they couldn´t give a proper development, much less depth, to the cast, so it wasn´t possible to grow fond of them and seriously care about the hardships they faced (...)
Still, with all its flaws, the animation was mostly decent and good action sequences were displayed, and certain level of entertainment could be get from it.
Looking on its own right, Zetman actually isn´t that bad. Well, it wouldn't be that good either. Sadly for me, when I was originally eager to see this on its own merits I managed to initially like it, but slowly lost interest the more evident it became that nothing eye catching (for me, at least) would happen, so I can only sigh in dissapointment and slight exhasperation.
Aw, whatever. 5/10
PD: Whoelse is eager to wait for the Zetman Ultimate OVAs?


Pretty much that.

The end was good, but it was a Dark Knight rip off, so it really isn't a merit of the anime.

About Zetman Ultimate, in Hellsing they at least had the decency to not spoil the manga and went totally alternative. Even if done a little bit differently, they spoiled a lot of plot twists.

IT was awesome... but needed some more explanation + more episodes to widen the story....

the series felt like he was GODLIKE and 100% winrate :)) and also a big question popped into my mind...

Why does it seem like there are millions of "players" when the only way to create them was the lab that was already destroyed? XD

I'm sooo freaking disappointed by the last episode... The manga is masterpiece and the anime is pretty good too, but there were some huge black wholes which make the anime not really similar to manga. The paintings were amazing. I hope the manga is going to end in a different way, or there should be 2 nd season of the anime.

Last ep. 2/5
Anime 9/10

What do you mean, how could you expect an adaptation not to spoil you the manga if you haven't read it that far?

The whole series was average for me. When i first started watching, I was a bit intrigued as to what the concept of the series was like. As it progressed I knew the series wasn't going to be mind blowing. I thought the ending below average. It didn't really feel satisfying.

The best part about the ending - Rikiya Koyama's voice (Kiritsugu ftw)

Show is in 6-7 range. Anything higher would be unrealistic.

This. The second narrator said "Three years later" I thought "Feels like Hellsing..."
If they manage to redo it like Hellsing, properly, it could be a good show. This is just bleh.

From what I'm reading, the anime does not adapt the manga well at all.

I liked the beginning of this show but it quickly started to taper off at about the midway point. A disappointment since it could of been a cool action hero show.

Anime adaptions of certain manga don't always turn out nicely; as it seems to be the case here. After finishing the anime a couple of minutes ago, I wasn't sure what to think of it. Judging by the animation and action scenes it deserves a solid 8/10 score and that's what I'm going to give it.
The story itself? Well it's alright in my eyes; nothing too spectacular though.

I took a look at a few of the manga chapters and things seem to get interesting in the chapters to come so I'll continue reading it every now and then. But picking it up as a whole? No need to do that.

All in all Zetman was an interesting series to watch.

I just might be more dissapointed in the ending for Zetman than I was for Guilty Crown.

Kouga goes absolutely nuts, and shows absolutely zero remorse for killing his blameless mother and not a soul even gives him an angry glare about it. Everyone just decides on the spot that Kouga is the new jesus and can do no wrong. Ok, whatever.

They should be ashamed of making this.

Instead of getting even worse (as I was hoping it would), it went to random-trying-to-salvage-something-and-failing.

Thus successfully making it worse. How the fuck was Tanaka a player if she had a family and all, anyway?

Damn once that crazy rich boy went on killling spree and took out Tanaka, I kinda wished for him to be killed and pretty much violently. (Jin) overcame his sadness, anger and player's killing instincts at same time and didn't finish that "wanna be prasied as hero maniac" which almost felt wrong given fact that Kouga's psycho and extremist who murders his own family whenever he sees it as justice. He obviously didn't want to tear appart what was left of Konoha's family because family matter a lot for (Jin) who lost all of his hopes to have one.
I missed some sort of contact between Konoha and (Jin) in that "after 3 years" part. i like those sort of thing haha

Overall
I'm usually taking these costumed hero with reservation but this unexpectedly surprised me, It's very good noe.. it's great show. I like how they dealt with the difference between being seen as "hero" and being real Hero. Also this show didn't work as most would expected so it wasn't "saving anyone almost fairy tale like story" but it went its own way and made the story about superhero more believable.

9/10

Interesting fact is that people say its like batman or something westernish but on the other hand they wanted to end batmanish way > saving anyone > good guys always winning no gray parts. Decide for yourself what you want to before you start contradict yourself in one sentence too.

Yeah, too bad for Hanako. I liked her as well. Meh.
I hear that the manga is better so I guess I'm going to start reading it.
It was enjoyable overall so, I'll give it a 8/10.
Also, the one thing that I loved was the way the drew the lips, kinda rare to see that style of art.
