But the OST is crap (especially when compared to the old series), it feels more childish when the original series kind of felt like seinen/shounen, and there's stuff cut from the original series that I really enjoyed. But from what I hear, I guess the 2011 series is more faithful to the manga and a lot of the stuff in the original that is now gone was filler. It was really good filler though. What I'm really waiting for is the Spiders arc and beyond, I haven't seen anything past that and haven't read any of the manga.
Zetman... it's okay but it's a really bad adaption. I don't like what they did with Kouga and Jin's relationship at all. I'd say it gets a little better with each new episode, but yeah, manga is infinitely better. Guess you can't expect much out of a 13 episode adaption of a 17 volume on-going manga. I have a pretty good feeling of where they're going to end it though, should be interesting to see what they do there.
In many ways, it kind of reminds me of the Gantz and Hellsing (2001) adaptations. They're all enjoyable on some level, have good action, stick to the story pretty closely, but overall deviate far too much from the source material and suffer for it.
Yeah, I just caught up with the Zetman manga and don't see how they could really do a fair adaptation of it with as few episodes as they had. I started making the Gantz comparison too. Does it at least have an amazing opening theme like Gantz did?
