Squall Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I haven't seen it in a while, but I'll try to do my best to recap the plot: I came into Betterman about halfway into the series, when they recapped all that happened. Their seems to be a disease that turns people insane and makes them all kill each other (sorta sounds like Resident Evil, eh?) thant not many know about. There's betterman, a being which has been around for generations, like the exact opposite of humans that can change into giant monsters by eating a flower. Not that good of a recap, but good enough. Anyway, nobody I've asked has seen it, so I wanted to see what those who have seen it thought of it. I personally thought it was an amazing Anime, ranking 3rd in my list, thought there were times when I had no clue what was going on. A sci-fi horror story combining giant monsters and mechas. Gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetron46 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 It sounds interesting, but I guess like everyone else, I havent seen it. I might check it out. Are they any well known animes that you can compare it to? Is it really good enough to be 3rd on your list, what is infront of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapnronh Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 TGhe series has been shown on pre-merger TechTV a few times and it's indeed an interesting anime. They'll prolly show it again on G4TechTV after they air other series. I'm thinking of buying the DVD set sometime next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuyasha311 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Yes I love this anime I'm watching now and I think its a very good anime. I still have some things to figure out but, I'm not at the end yet.And the best part they play 2shows every day. I love the song that plays at the start of the show I wonder if it has a sound track.I have went to e-bay hopefully I can buy this DVD it only has 26 shows but still its a good anime.I can't wait to see the end and find out what happens I kinda have a idea but I won't say anything for people who haven't watched.I think I would freak out if any of that stuff that happened to them would happen to me some stuff in that show was just freaky.

Blackrose_ Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 [COLOR=Magenta]Hello, I love Betterman! I think It is a great anime! My favorite charater has gotta be Hinoki! She is great, an awsome charater! I also like Sakura, but hate her in that one episode where she wants to eat everyone... But Hinoki was like WAY COOL in that episode!!! Hahahaha " LET ME EAT YOU!!!" haha :laugh: lol! :) :D :p [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy3922 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I need some help. See my brother got this anime called Better Man, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. I looked it up on a bunch of different sites and couldn't find a thing. See he went and got volume 6 by accendent. And I guess he likes it, so he asked me to help him out and look it up. But like you know I couldn't find a thing, so if you could help me out by leaving some sites for me to look at, I would be very greatful. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpy3922 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Thanks but that wasn't what I need. I need a site to buy the dvds at. Because like I said my brother went a bought volume 6. And he asked me to help him out and find the others for hiim. But I've had no luck at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasouKazuma Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Betterman isn't a good anime. It's pretty standard stuff. If it's number three on your personal list of animes ... you simply must've not watched many animes at all. There are plenty of anime series that are WAY better than Betterman. In fact, here's a short list of examples though I could create a huge list of anime series that are better. In no real order .... Evangelion Kino no Tabi Berserk Cowboy Bebop Trigun FLCL Rurouni Kenshin Ghost in the Shell Escaflowne AIR Kimi Ga Nozumu Eien etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Kaley Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I enjoyed Betterman, it's not great or anything but certainly not bad. I'd watch it again if it was on but I wouldn't go as far as to buy it. I did like the Betterman character himself and the whole deal with Algernon. I LOVED the lizard girl. I don't remember her name but she had green hair, tan skin and talked with her mind. Of course it's hard to be a giant robot anime and not be compared to EVA or Gundam. Especially EVA though because this show was trying to mess with your head so severely, then there was the quiet strange girl and the dorky reluctant teen... Still is was a fine enough show to watch (I enjoyed it) and if you want to try to figure out a weird plot then go ahead and enjoy Betterman ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judgement Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I remember watching a 6 episode series called Betterman. After seeing the final episode I sat there asking myself, "what just happaned? Is this the end? It didn't make any sence?!?" I was wondering if someone else was as confused as I was. I thought it would explain itself in the final episode, like FLCL. But I'm still confused :animestun ( and I'm sorry if there is a thread already like this one but I couldn't find it.) :( [CENTER][URL=http://img396.imageshack.us/my.php?image=edcool6bi.png][IMG]http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/926/edcool6bi.th.png[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER] My first picture, too!
