This episode came in
pretty expected although I still enjoyed it. With how much I liked last week's
episode, this one came in pretty in par with that. The action was pretty great
most especially now that Haitani's true form has been shown.
With only one
episode to go, I'm pretty glad to see things heading the way I expected them
to. I've been thinking a lot of how to start with this post or how to give my
impression of this episode. Similar to last episode, this one goes on with ZETMAN's typical fast pacing. I don't really
mind the quick battles and talks about what's going on with ZET and the battle
between good and evil. When Haitani just gave Jin the chance to reach his full
potential as ZET, Haitani made Jin decided to transform or not. It's a quick
decision of getting the power for a chance to save or not getting the power and
not power up the Players but not entirely save everyone. Does that count as a
true hero's choice? Jin's decision isn't anything surprising most especially
when Haitani showed Jin the captured Hanako. For crying out loud, I've seen
this coming and it's definitely the only thing I hated about this episode.
As I have mentioned
last post, the time will come that Haitani will use Hanako against Jin and that
time came right at a very great timing for Haitani. Of course, we all see that
coming as well as Hanako's transformation. I mean who wouldn't expect that? Not
going through the details, I just have to admit that I'm not really interested
in Jin's struggle as to fight Hanako or not. The romance part of this series
definitely doesn't please me and I definitely don't want to see some Jin x
Hanako drama when ZET is suppose to fight Haitani in his really amazing
angel-like form as a Player.
Looking at how ZETMAN had been as of now, it definitely had
experienced a lot of highs and lows. The pacing isn't the best but the
cliffhangers are pretty good. The action being one of its assets definitely
gets me a lot and it looks like it's going to be an all out fight on its final
episode. Character development is gradual that until these last couple of
episodes, we see more developments on Jin and Kouga. The main females were
pretty underdeveloped that I didn't even care about them. There's no time for
that now, I guess. Hopefully the conclusion will be pretty satisfying.
