Story

Players are monstrous abominations created by the Amagi Corporation that were originally used for amusement while humans watched them fight each other til death ... that is ... until one night when the Players went on a rampage and killed all their human spectators before making their escape. One of the scientist, Kanzaki Gorou, who was a key in the Players creation escaped with Z.E.T ... believed to be the most powerful of the Players and thus dubbed as the 'Hunter' by Amagi Mitsugai who was head of the Amagi Corporation. Mitsugai spent years trying to track down Z.E.T before stumbling upon Kanzaki Jin.

Fate is sometimes a strange thing as Jin was childhood friends with Amagi Kouga and Amagi Konoha ... Mitsugai's grandchildren. Kouga had dreams of one day becoming a hero who protected people and it was this dream that led to his first meeting with Jin. As the years pass and Kouga struggles with trying to make his dream a reality Jin struggles with the promises he makes to the Amagi Corporation so that he can protect the few people that he has come to care about. Eventually Kouga and Jin's lives collide once more when two men. . .Haitani Seiji and Nakata Jirou set out to test the resolve of both young men.

Overall

I don't know about anybody else ... but for me it was like X-men meets Batman ... on crack lol. The anime had a great set up but, it wasn't executed very well and at times was just down right corny as hell. Zetman had a good start but then it kinda tailspinned and eventually came crashing down in flames. A damn shame really ... it could have been great, instead it was mediocre and forgetable. The animation was pretty good, but that was about it. The soundtrack sucked, the VA's did a mediocre job, the plotline went down hill fast and got way too cliche, and there was little to no character development.

Disappointed really...
