Putting aside the fact that like many Japanese action character series Yokai Ningen Bem also had the over the top B grade costumes and somewhat low special effects the show was ok. The effects themselves were not really bad but the costumes were about B grade at best however the series didn't require a lot of either and the jumping and leaping across roof tops and up walls and such was pretty cool and a few of the transformation scenes weren't too bad. However, with every change into monster form I wondered where the heck they found the exact same clothes they just ripped apart to put back on. As for acting it was ok for the most part. It was pretty typically of that type of show. In my opinion Kame has never been the most fantastic actor but he's not bad and seems to always put his all into it and his emotions are always great in everything I have seen him in but what Kame does best is look good and you could have totally seen him fit right into a bishonen manga or anime he was so like a beautiful god with is soft features and some scenes bordered on OH MY GOD I CAN ALMOST SEE HIS... which is why I watched it to begin with. As for the story, I thought the idea of humanities struggle to find the good in themselves was all well and good but it got very repetitive and old very fast. For me, the main reason I watched it was for Kame and on thinking about it, if he had not been in it I don't think I would have even picked it up to watch but Kame was in it and the eye candy was more than enough for me to finish the series so I don't feel like a wasted time watching it. So If you like Kame then yeah if not the Bem character was still cool and to me the best Belo and Bela where ok. I loved the Detective and his family as well as the other side family so the characters were still pretty good so maybe still worth watching.
