Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This 1999 supernatural mecha series plays like an addled mixture of Evangelion, Generator Gawl, and an early Gundam adventure. Keita, Hinoki, Sakura, and the gang continue fighting the creature known as Algernon--sort of. Characters and monsters arrive and depart arbitrarily: near the end of "Aqua," a giant polyp causes a large chunk of the sea floor to rise to the surface; nurses with lengthy talons attack Keita in "Poison," and there's a weird subplot involving living humans in fluid-filled capsules that appear and disappear. Fortunately, the title character shows up just in time to metamorphose into various bizarre forms and fight off the monsters. When he can't make it, Chandy, a mysterious girl with a lizard-familiar that turns into a suit of armor, picks up the slack. It must make sense to somebody. Rated 13 Up: Violence, risqué humor, brief nudity, ethnic stereotypes. --Charles Solomon

Product Description

Bandai Entertainment continues the frightening journey of Better Man with the release of "Metamorphosis". Directed by Yoshitomo Yonetani, a secret task force has been formed to combat an unknown entity known only as "Algernon". But can they stop the killings in time or will they face Earth's inevitable destruction at the hands of the enemy? Who is Better Man?
Reunited with his childhood friend Hinoki, Keita has joined the battle against Algernon as a Head Diver in the Kakuseijin No. 1, a multi-purpose state-of-the-art attack mecha. Danger abounds as the Akamatsu team travels around the world in search of Algernon! Meanwhile, Betterman continues to monitor the Akamatsu team's progress and comes to the rescue on more than one occasion. But even he has secrets that no one has even guessed. Will discovering them cost the Akamatsu team their lives?

I've seen the series before (though not in full), and it used to give me nightmares as a child. To this day I can't eat Udon noodles as a result. If you watch this particular disc you should understand why. I recommend not watching it in the dark unless you like to get really ridiculously freaked out.

if you have never seen better man that you should definetely see it. It is one of the most unusal series you may ever see but at the same time it is one of the best it may seem at first that the plot does not flow well but at the end it really comes togther so pick this up (if you dare)j\k
