Gotham city has Batman,Metropolis has Superman and the people of New York has Spiderman.Well 8 Man is the hero in this town.To be honest I didn't really expect much from this anime given its unusual name,8 Man sounds like a name given because all other cool superhero names were taken.Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and treated to a exciting, well written story.

Hazama Itsuru is a small time detective who runs Hazama Investigations.He"s hired to investigate the disappearance of Eddie Schmidt a top researcher who worked for Biotecho Corp and to uncover the mystery behind a cyborg parts theft.His job gets even more difficult because after hes almost killed by an old foe,professor Tani the same individual that hired him is force to safe his life by turning him into a super cyborg known as the 8 man.

Hazama struggles to come to grips with his new ordeal but at the same time must uncover the corruption behind renegade cyborg criminal flooding the city streets and the political corruption behind it all.

I really like how the story develops,each characters is well done with a strong purpose and quite realistic with most having some sort of backstory to avoid them feeling out of place.I really like the animation the drawing is well done with fairly rich detail and colour.There wasn't a great deal of music in this one but I did like the closing theme.The action is fast paced and intense with typical 90s anime gore.Overall a enjoyable watch.
