I've been watching a few eps. of Monochrome Factor.  It's still not going to win any prizes for originality, but it has a not-quite-as-tough best friend who's ready and willing to jump into the fight side-by-side with the superpowered hero, to hell with the danger.  Loyal best friends are like my kryptonite. 

One thing I find interesting is that the flashbacks in this series show Kengo and his sister as having dark hair when they were children.  Both are blond in the present day.  I am oddly charmed that the animators thought to make this little touch.  I can't think of any other series where it's made explicitly clear that no, that very Japanese character's very un-Japanese (blue/pink/chartreuse-with-purple-polka-dots) hair color is not natural.  I like it.
