pros
+ superior animation with nice attention to detail
+ intense fight scenes
+ plays on an ethical dilemma
cons
- characters and their personalities are hard to understand
- rushed release hardly makes viewers able to empathise
- dialogue isn't that great

conclusion: honestly -- if you haven't yet started on the manga and you still see that the anime's release has been rushed, you know there's something wrong. that's exactly what happened to me. started the manga just recently and it's awesome, but this anime is so rushed it's just meh. great concept with the expected darkness to it, playing on deep questions, posing an ethical dilemma, and everything the philosopher needs (lol) -- but the problem with the anime is simply that a time frame of mere 12 episodes does not work for this kind of concept. the story feels rushed, characters are hard to understand and harder to empathise with, and the dialogue isn't anything to get hyped about (okay, neither is it totally in the manga). battles throughout are intense, and the animation is superior with great attention to detail; i'll give it that. however, as much as the manga plays on awesome ideas, in the anime, those don't work simply due to a short time frame. i'd definitely recommend the manga to fans of the darker-themed stuff and some philosophy, but the anime doesn't really seem that great to me personally.

Well the most important thing to say about this anime is that it does not follow the original storyline of the manga. I must say I didnt read the manga completely but at the moment it skipped a lot of stuff and changed some moments. Therefore I recomend you to read the manga if you cant get into this anime at all.

I personally enjoy this anime a lot. It indeed is very fast paced and that is bad for this kind of anime because it becomes harder to understand the characters and their personality. But to be honest the action and cool designs + the superior animation make this definately a decent watch.

Things that I love the most are:
-Amazing character designs
-very good animation
-good voice actors
And most of all, no recut oif the previews episode at the beginning.

Good action anime with a message behind it, but telling you what exactly would be a spoiler ;) (show less)

Honestly...Zetman is one of the best mangas i've ever read.
the story is awesome, it's dark, thrilling, entertaining and everything.

But why the hell couldn't the makers of the anime stick to the manga-story?
just why do koga and jin know each other since childhood, why does a player hurt akemi when it should have been some thug/pimp. why does kanzaki die more or less unseen, when should get his arm cut by the chameleon player while protecting jin? that way it would be more obvious how little jin knows, because he tries to glue the arm back on with spit.

honestly im so dissapointed...
my tip is to just stick with the manga. (show less)

This series still could have been revised more. The dialogue is still very simplistic especially during battle when it degenerates into a "I'm better than you are" back and forth taunting. The animation still is full of filler sequences (sequences where all that happens is a character seems to take forever charging up and grunting or switching over to a character that is merely observing a battle). As a result of the insipid dialogue and the filler sequences, what could have been a good story is hamstrung, and the viewer is frustrated by the lack of plot advancement. (show less)

Many many trolls write reviews on this website and even moar do they enjoy it if you reply or get mad at them. So let me start with my review

First of all this anime starts off very slow. The first 3 episodes dont seem to make sense and the plot is i9ncredibly hard to understand. But later on after episode 5 you should be able to see what the anime is about. Also The animation looks a little too childish. Its okay if they wanted to animate goku like a girl but did it have to look like this?

Storyline: Many flaws and sadly too many polottwists confuse you. After episode 40 you might become a living slug but thats worth it becauser this anime has too many good characters like naruto, luffy or sun-ken rock

Overall this anime gets a Cock/10 from me while most people might think this anime is only a penis/10 stars (show less)
