  Some aspects of the multiplicative anomaly of zeta determinants are
investigated. A rather simple approach is adopted and, in particular, the
question of zeta function factorization, together with its possible relation
with the multiplicative anomaly issue is discussed. We look primordially into
the zeta functions instead of the determinants themselves, as was done in
previous work. That provides a supplementary view, regarding the appearance of
the multiplicative anomaly. Finally, we briefly discuss determinants of zeta
functions that are not in the pseudodifferential operator framework.
