The complete 13-episode run of Zetman, the dark superhero action series based on Masakazu Katsura's manga, is now available on Hulu with both English dub and subtitles. The anime adapts the story of Jin Kanzaki, a young man who can transform into the superhuman ZET, and Kouga Amagi, a hero wielding advanced technology as ALPHAS. Their intertwined fates drive a narrative focused on protecting humanity from monstrous "Players."
Produced by TMS Entertainment, Zetman delves into gritty urban fantasy themes, blending sci-fi elements with horror and romance. Its mature tone and focus on anti-heroes set it apart from more typical superhero fare, exploring the darker aspects of power and justice.
While not reaching the heights of Katsura's earlier work like Video Girl Ai or I''s, the anime adaptation of Zetman offers a compact, completed story for fans seeking a seinen take on the superhero genre. It scored a 7.23 on MyAnimeList, indicating a solid reception among its viewers.
