So about halfway through this series and Jin finally takes the form of ZET we see in the opening. Strangely enough, this is triggered with the help of Haitani, who stabs him with a piece of the Ring of Exposure. I’m curious about his motives. On the one hand, he may have transformed Jin in [...]

And I thought that grandpa Amagi was the best villain in the series. There was a considerable amount of goodness in this episode: Jin struggling for the first time Kouga being more dependable and the debut of Alphas Haitani’s reappearance  The completion of ZET Some romance So let’s explore. It [...]

Ah finally, an episode of Zetman where I felt like it didn’t go a million miles per hour. Looks like it was true that a Player can assimilate into human society without having to fear the Sweeper appearing as long as the Player doesn’t regress. Of course there would be a natural division in the [...]Zetman – Episode 5 is a post from Typenights.

This week’s episode marks the arrival of Kouga into the fray. His suit’s complete and he’s on his way to save his sister. Still…he kinda annoys me. The way he reacted to the suit when it was first shown to him and his sense of justice…he’s such a child. He really just sounds like a [...]

I disagree that the faces in Zetman are ugly. In fact, I find them very refreshing, and I love this show for how much emotion it has managed to put into its drawings. What I am hoping for the most right now however, is the kind of animation that we saw in the first episode [...]

So…. Is a cape that important? Apparently it’s VERY important to Kouga and is yet another display of his character not having gained any maturity all the while Jin has been acting without over-thinking the little things.  I don’t know whether it was the same in the manga or not but with every [...]

I was shocked that they skipped two more years after episode 3. I wonder if that will be the norm, IE, they will be skipping around when they need. That would be pretty cool, but I don’t think they will …

Wow, another time skip already? What’s the point when so little progress has taken place. Oh well, seems like Auntie is no longer in the picture ever since Jin agreed to cut all contact with her for her own safety. Jin in the meantime has spent the past two years in Undertown playing guinea pig [...]Zetman – 4 is a post from Typenights.

Back again with another episode and another time skip. This time, it’s two years past. After taking Amagi’s offer, Jin has to distance himself from everyone. Kind of a weird turn since normally the superheroes of western culture tend to voluntarily do so. Kouga also seems to have slacked off in these two years after [...]

Four episodes in and we’ve already had 2 time skips. Wow, even for an adaptation that’s compressing A LOT of the manga into a 13 episode anime that’s pretty insane. So far I’ve been less than sensitive with the fans of the manga and have been backing Zetman and the fact that it has to move at this [...]

Interesting: someone actually saw a bunch of thugs beating up someone, and did the most sensible thing: run away. Unfortunately this was nullified a bit when she headed outside again afterwards, but at least this was for a better reason than the usual “I want to help too!” In any case, what also was interesting [...]

This is why signing consent forms are mandatory This post is kind of late because of a torrent of real life events (exams, sudden hospital visits, karate) and aniblog tourney stuff. Well, as long as I don’t start racking up two episodes in one post, I’m still in the green zone. I’ll be faster next [...]

Oh thank goodness they didn’t kill off Auntie. That would have been the end of this show for me right there if that stunt they pulled was real. Now, if this didn’t feel rushed, I don’t know what to say. Maybe if they actually didn’t spend precious time animating Kouga shaking hands out of all [...]Zetman – 03 is a post from Typenights.

This episode started off really strong. I was pulled into the emotions that Jin was feeling after watching Akemi getting eaten by a monster. Still though, I thought that Jin should’ve been a bit more pissed off after watching her …
