I haven't seen the entire anime yet, but they did cram 100+ chapters into a short 13 episode series so the story comes off a bit rushed. Its not bad, but its not great either. Which is unfortunate because a good anime could have propelled the translation of the manga series. :/
Still its not a bad introduction to the series, the animation is nice, but it just didn't have enough time to fully flesh out the story the way the manga does.
Its not a bad thing at all! I'm doing my marathon of Fullmetal as I write this so I can do an Anime vs. Manga vs. Anime comparison. I didn't include it on the list since its one pretty much everyone knows about already. ^-^
I love Zetman and Yasha is a really good read as well! Unfortunately neither of those have been published in English so you'd have to turn to the internet. The only ones on that list that have are MPD and Eternal Sabbath.
This was an interesting read. The only one of these I've heard of is Zetman, but I didn't know anything about it. Yasha sounds cool, too. Good luck tracking those down, Keba.
Is it sad that when I think of manga with artificial life, my mind goes straight to the homunculi of Fullmetal Alchemist?
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

I know Zetman has an anime adaption. Do you recommend it?
