Zetman (2012)
ゼットマン

Zetman

the world was separated into 2 forces, the Zet and the Alphas. the Zet had the ability to transform into superhuman to defend humanity; while the Alphas used extreme technologies to defend justice. Jin was a Zet who lived under the bridge with a debt-ridden old man; while Kouga was an Alpha who would one day inherit his grandfather's wealth. as different as they initially were, together they were able to protect humanity by destroying an abomination called Players.

the story had a refreshing plot that evolved around genetically modified beings who escaped captivity and dangerously wiping out humankind, lurking within the city. Jin and Kouga was brought up in a different environment, making them a completely opposite character. although it took quite a while to get the background straight, it was intriguing enough to be interesting. however, it didn't last. unlike its first episode that dragged on for a little too long, the rest of the episodes went by in a flash. i didn't feel engage with its character, nor did i care how they turned out to be.
