Just got to watch Zetman Episode 1 and I must say I’m very impressed.  This episode actually moved me to tears which is a rare event with a non-romance anime.  The childhood story of Jin and his friends really got to me though.  I’m assuming that this is the first and only episode of Zetman that [...]

Time skip engage. Quite a few years have passed since the first episode and Jin and Kouga look to be in their late teens. They still both have their sense of justice, though. It looks to me so far that Kouga seems to have taken the role of Batman, in that he is a normal [...]
