Plot/Story: 7.5/10
8 Man After offers an enjoyable plot set years after the original 8 Man series. The new protagonist, Hazama Itsuru, takes on the role of the hero while seeking revenge in the name of justice.

The similarities seem to be rather obvious but I think it pales in comparison to the robotic police officer. The point people.... 8-Man is rather popular and has developed quite a following.

8-Man After is in no way a work of art and I could never ...
