THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


The final gunshot is fired as this series concludes.

Meh not bad although not the highlight of the Spring Season.

Jin struggles to fight against you-know-who from last time as he continues taunts him about his duty of "defeating the players". Kouga later comes and decides his own justice.

Justice served? Tsh.

whats witht the endign straight from batman the dark knight?????

avrage anime with predictable ending

It took itself waaay too seriously.

I agree.

Zet became Batman for a second :D

That was a bit of a mediocre ending to what started as a promising series. Zet's winged form lasted even shorter than the time it took for Kouga to dispatch Hayami and his accomplices XD. And so our lone hero continues to fight for justice from the shadows in the end...hmmmn wait, this is sounding awfully familiar to me... :P

I really wanted to like this series but the whole anime was bogged down by serious pacing and character development series. It really could have done with perhaps 26 episodes (and a different script writer :P) to allow the characters to grow more and have relationships like the Hanako/Jin one make more of an impact on the audience. I wasn't feeling particularly sympathetic when Kouga ended Hanako's life :|.

One aspect I'd put in the show's favour is that it had decently choreographed action scenes. Haitani made a pretty interesting villain as well with his wits and cunning. The fact that Yusa Kouji voiced him is a plus :D.

Auntie Akemi remains one of my favourite female characters ever for the kindness and loyalty she showed to Jin, and also for dealing with the scar on her face so well, it shows that she's a good adaptable person. A stamp of awesomeness for her :).

Well what a bumpy ride Zetman the anime has been. We say goodbye to ridiculously fast time skips, chest stabbings galore, a female character with a rare case of the braces, a monosyllabic protagonist and psychotic breaks from a white haired man who parades around in a pimped out suit with a cape purely for aesthetics XD. It's been fun...kinda ;).

For a final episode, it was kind of weak... Oh wells... On to the manga.

wow bad ending to avg anime ... i mean he let that fag kill his girl and let him live??? really hate that white hair bitch.

My thoughts exactly.

You took the words right out of my mouth. When I saw the ending and heard that monologue The Dark Knight was the first thing that came to mind. Man I am very disappointed with the ending. I give it a 7/10 maybe lower.

Wow, that ending was just from The Dark Knight, and I also couldn't help but compare Batman more to Kouga since he did have the gadgets and he was the rich guy.

Meh... This ending was very disappointing, but it was predictible.
Poor Hanako :(

The anime started off well but damn it got horrible fast. The ending was pretty bad too. 4/10

Well, I felt that ending was appropriate for what lead up to it. While I don't care for what happened in the manga, the show did lose its potential near the beginning. Jin had his path laid out for him, and he followed it. Jin's dilemma was simply to choose between isolation or risk people around him getting hurt. Kouga's mental transformation was much more interesting, as was his character, though Jin served as a perfect contrast. While most people here see Kouga and his justice as annoying, for the most part he's been thrown in unfair situations. Save 1 person out of 2 for certain, or try to save both at a lower success rate? It is a morally gray area, and neither is right nor wrong. The is the main dilemma for Kouga in the show, but it is also too simple a concept for praise. Barring the ending scene, I felt Kouga was much more similar to Batman. In the end, Jin and Kouga ended with trauma and a skewed mentality, both useful tools for a hero. It is unfortunate that the series suffered from numerous contrivances and inadequate pacing. While I feel the show should have been longer, I don't feel that would have fixed anything other than minor pacing problems.

Where to start, this anime had so many hole and so much unnecessary aspect to it, everything felt rush, kouga became a "hero" with a warp sense of justice, it started out so good then just crashed and burn with everything just being a bad flow chart with a predictable ending.

On a side note Kouga is nothing like batman, batman has limits that he wouldnt cross but this did feel very dark nightish.


3/10

Without seeing the manga, I find this ending satisfactory.
I knew Jin would be the hero of the shadows.

8/10 for the transformation and the anime for me!

damn kouga that bastard he killed hanako, it WAS possible for them to turn to normal after being in the pressence of the ring. haitni was shown in the end, atleast i think it was him. i'm thinking of looking into the manga but does he still end up with hanako or is it that crummy "child hood friend" kougas little sister?

It's weird because I don't like or dislike this.
Basically I didn't feel anything for any of the characters.

26 episodes would have done wonders here but oh well.

The phrase was more like Batman, compared to Jin. The most obvious is their wealth and resources. On the surface, both work for justice, but are driven by something else. Everyone has limits they wouldn't cross, including Kouga. It was a minor and relative comparison, but saying they are nothing alike is more of a stretch.

Meh, I was hoping for better ending here.

I just hope they making season 2 here.

7/10 for me.
