Nihon Review's AC writes: "Zetman is a title that involves Western-style superheroes, a theme that has not have a particularly rosy relationship with the anime medium. Tiger & Bunny is the only worthy title in recent memory that the marriage between the medium and theme has to show. And sadly, this series isn’t doing the situation any favor either, as it is yet another addition to a lineup of letdowns. It’s an example of a story with a novel plot that is hampered down by hamfisted execution, preventing itself from becoming what could be a potentially absorbing action-drama series."
