| I can't help but laugh at the sheer number of times Jin has been stabbed in the chest up to this point XD. Hooray for Kouga coming to the rescue of his boyfriend Jin! :D Haitani is so manipulative and kinda hot :P. Also wow, his transformation :O. Wait what...Hanako is also a player?! o_O WTF?!!! Talk about a cheeseball of a twist. Yes, I know the headaches might have been a clue (I was hoping that was just a red herring), but I still think it's a bit of a naff twist. Haitani's line to Hanako "Tanaka-kun, you've put on some weight" was hilarious though LOLOLOL XD. So the finale will be the epic showdown between Haitani and Red Zetman. Awesomesauce :). |

| i really wonder what the fuck were they thinking when they made this anime. first ep looked promising but the further the anime progressed the worse it got. 2/5 5/10. and we all know they will fuck up the ending cause nothing they do can save it anymore. |

| Kouga killing his father and nearly taking out his mother in the process. Yeah, I think he lost his marbles there at that moment. Then finding out Hanako a Player... |
 |
| LOL never thought that she would be a player too '-' If she doesn't come back to her human form i'm gonna be realy pissed off btw, does the same thing happens on the manga or the plot is totally different?I was thinking on read it, but is it exactly like this but with more pages? |
| So they did have a reason for developing the relationship between Jin and Hanako. Too bad they did such a poor job at it. Past the initial surprise factor, Hanako changing into a player had about as much impact as one of the onlookers undergoing the regression. Still, the story/character development were not completely horrible, despite how incompetently they were done. I'm still interested to see how it ends, or doesn't. |
| Damn, I knew Hanako was a player after all! Looks like Jin and Haitani have battle next week. |
 |
| This episode was awesome. I couldn't help but hope Hanako wasn't a player when she got that headache. Hitani doesn't look that tough...Jin could beat him in ten seconds...well that certainly wouldn't happen though. |
| Holy shit. Everything is going crazy. And dammit, why is Hanako a Player? This will surely put a massive psychological damage to Jin. |

| wtf did they do to Hanako? freaking stupid. I hope it's not like that in the manga since this has seemed to steer so off course. Maybe Kouga's father deserved it but dude killed his father and almost his mother? Harsh... This has turned into a train wreck. |

 |
| And with this a serious shark jump has been done. Like what everyone said, Hanako´s revelation was unexpected, but completely stupid for a goddamn number of reasons. What was the point to begin with, Haitani? In order to make Jin rebel against humanity? Yeah, as if he´d never consider beating the crap out of you!! And don´t get me started with how facepalmic Kouga was in this episode -.- |

It started going uncanon in the last ep, but parts were still correct (plus the Kouga Party was supposed to happen before the fight with the brothers) But this ep is mostly BS. |
| I'm really happy that this anime is ending. Can't find anything that would catch my interest. |

| Loved this ep, love this series. I'll probably think less of it after I read the manga, but honestly, I love it as someone who has never read it. Everyone's dying, Hanako was a player, Haitani set the whole thing up, it's just awesome. But everyone says that the manga is better, so I'lll have to check it out. Either way, there really should be more of this - it's a shame it's going to end like this, but I can't see the ending dropping my score for this anime any lower than an 8. |
 "In both love and octopus-hunting, you have to take the initiative!" - Gintoki Sakata |
Hanako is a player :O Now that was unexpected. Also a shame, I liked their couple. Looking forward to next episode. |
|
| Let me make a quote, out of a song, also taken out of context, but who cares: "...what God could make it stop, let this end...". That's how I feel about this show now. And I really liked first few episodes. Oh well, only 1 more remaining. |
| Man, this episode was painful to watch. Can't even begin to describe the amount of shit they dumped into this episode. I was facepalming during the whole Hanako scene (although in the manga it is hinted that she's not normal, since she keeps getting those headaches every time a player is nearby). Keeping my 6 for now, but may lower to a 5 or 4 depending on how bad the finale will be. |
| I found myself facepalming so many times in this episode. Kouga shooting his parents and making those typical insane rage faces, Jin spending 3/4 of the episode on the floor, that cop bringing Konoha into the buillding, the whole thing with Hanako. Kouga's warped sense of justice. Haitani expecting Jin to be on his side after all that he's done. Too much fail. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| This anime is weird and creepy i still can't believe that hanako is a player!! next week last episode .  |
| Putting the fact aside that Zetman has been butchered with the previous episode, holy shit, what the hell happened, I don't know if it's awesome or just garbage. EnvyMyApex said: The scanlations are behind the raws, so it could be possible that Hanako is really a player, the stake for example exists and Kouga would indeed kill everyone he considers evil but don't assume that all the events and the order of those are 1:1Wait, so none of this is even canon? Guess I'm going to have to read the manga to get the real experience...

| Seem like there's a dichotomy between those who have and those who haven't read the manga. The former absolutely can't stand this anime, whilst the latter actually pretty like it. I'm part of the latter XD. My perception of this anime probably will go down once i finally get around to reading the manga though :L. 5/5 I actually didn't expect Hanako to be a player tho. Special yes, but player, no. ._. |
| Seems like Hanako become fatter this episode. |
ownosourus said: Hanako is a player :O Now that was unexpected. Also a shame, I liked their couple. Looking forward to next episode. Is it possible that Hanako didn't become a player until she got abducted in ep.11? |
| I've lost my interest in characters, this episode was bland. I'm going to read the manga after I finish this anime. It's sad because I've enjoyed the first part of the story. |
 |
| It's good that just one episode left, without Hanako there's no reason to watch this anymore. ;___; Also Kouga this week was so damn derp. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| The character development is kind of poor, you're surprised that Hanako is a player, but you don't give a damn about the character itself, that's how I feel now. I guess they tried their best for a 13-episode anime, wish the anime had more episodes (26) so they could've done it well. I'm gonna start reading the manga after finishing the anime as well. Also, they're gonna release the first soundtrack CD for Zetman on 22nd June, followed by CD 2 (Sep 28 ) and CD 3 (Nov 23 ). |
| Le me fucking seriously hanako is a players WTF? Poor konoha and Kouga madness hell yeah! Such a fucking emotionally eps. |

| I'm kinda surprised there's so much hate for this anime. I mean, it's not the best but it's quite enjoyable and the action is pretty good. The whole Hanako is a player thing caught me off guard lol. I felt Kouga was awesome for once too. |
| I've liked Kouga sorta the last 2 eps... The Hanako thing was a little surprising... and really pisses me off. 3/5. meh. |
  |
| Well this show just went from horrible with some unintentional laughs to complete hilarity. Everything about this episode was so bad it was funny. I think the only way this thing could end would be for Jin to have sex with monster Hanako to prove that he didn't want her just for her looks. |
 |
| Since they didn't adapt the manga anyway, I think they might as well wrap it up nicely. It's unfortunate it took its time to become more interesting, but whatever, the last couple of episodes were highly enjoyable. |
onedaysnotice said: Seem like there's a dichotomy between those who have and those who haven't read the manga. The former absolutely can't stand this anime, whilst the latter actually pretty like it. Well, actually... no. You don't even need to have read the manga to realise this is as awful an adaptation as an adaptation can get... Sometimes, an adaptation is so bad that is just shows. Like in this one. Or Tsukihime. With the difference that even Tsingetsutan Tsukihime was a masterpiece compaired to this hellspawn... I know I haven't read the manga - and probably won't anyway because some parts are so bad that I doubt even the manga has gotten them right - but hell, just look at the pacing and the cohesion of the story... First few episodes, the pacing... well, there was none. But at least they were ok for introduction. Then the begining of the main plot was somewhat ok, but it all went downhill from the moment they introduced Alphas. They made him Batman, but the juvenile version of Batman. I mean come on, he is complaining that his nano-suit doesn't have a CAPE!!! A CAPE of all things!!! How exactly am I supposed to take the series seriously when the main character has the mentality of a 5 year old??? And then it kept going down. Hanako was a good character to get Jin to eventually come in terms with his human side and a normal lifestyle. There was a genuine chance to expand his character that way, but then BAM! Nah bro, she is a player, and we intentionally made her come in touch with you so that... what again??? And, above all else, Heitani is telling him with a straight face that Hanako's love was not real. And Jin is trying to deny that with anguish in his voice. And they go on about it, WHILE ANYONE WITH AN IQ ABOVE 0.2 CAN TELL THAT RIGHT NEXT TO THEM, HANAKO IS MAKING A GENUINELY HONEST "NOOOOOO!!! I REALLY LOVE YOU!!!" KIND OF CRYING. Ffs, how hard is it to make an adaptation that is at least average??? |
 |
| Like i said from the very begging Kouga has gone mad with his self righteous justice becoming his what he fear the most shooting his own mom and dad, cant be a hero without self discipline. jin chose the wrong girl and damn she a brick da na uh house might might letting it all hang out haha |
| this episode was stupid. why did hanako have to become a player? (and a really fat ugly looking one at that) And what was up with Jin's final transformation? he just became red like he did before, but before they said that he was still incomplete when he was red. So wtf? Also, I don't see the big deal with kouga shooting his dad. The guy was an asshole who deserved to die, why does everyone gotta hate on kouga for it? Yeah, I guess his mom got shot too but that was her fault for jumping in the middle of it like a retard. And what was up with konoha? annoying little B****. "Oh, everyone's getting killed, I should go there." no, you sit the f*** down and wait until its over and is safe. I thought auntie was told by jin to keep her inside? And why does the officer just let her in like that, she has nothing do with it! she would've been safer outside. So again, as I said, this episode was stupid. -_- |

So again, as I said, this episode was stupid. -_- I dropped the anime, but the anime is HS. It just does not even like that in the manga. Hanako is not a player in the manga. For images I've seen, the evolution of Zet does not follow the step as in the manga. What do you think, most fan of the manga it is said that the anime will be a disaster. Those who want a season 2, too bad for you, but you will not. So you just read manga now. |
| Bad fanfic is bad. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This show has so many inconsistencies....Common sense does not exist in world Zetman. |
| i was driking tea......kouga's mom got shot...i was shocked ..i spit the tea out....AGAIN!!!! this show is dangerous to be drinking/eating while watching!!!!! This was the third time!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Wow...that was bad. Very, very bad. |
 |
| Kouga was awesome this episode, but his sister is so fucking stupid. Damn Jin is in a fucked up situation. Hopefully he can save Hanako, but I doubt they'll let that happen. I'm going straight to the manga, when this is over. |
 |
| This is just ridiculous now. |
| Oh crap she's a Player, the the big and ugly sand monster to be exact. Everybody runaway!!! One last episode so we can all end the pain of watching this... |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This anime started out cool but now... I quite don't know what to think of it. Probably will read manga considering that I like the context and the universe. It lacks something but can't grasp what it is that this show is missing. |
