THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
"NONSENSEU DAAAAAA!"

-What I was the most curious about this episode was why Joey's eyes are glowing. As I thought, he also has power from the the arm gauntlet thingy. I'm sure it has something to do with the power-up mode that Heroman had. Something tells me it's taking his energy away or something.

-BTW, I really like the Skruggs leader's voice. And again, awesome villain music when the sphere was released.

-Now, I thought that the concept of a sphere that crushes anything was pretty dumb since this seemed kind of like a set up for "Failed Alien Plan of the week." until not only did they not really stop it, they released like five more and I was like "FUUUUUUUUU-." These aren't the tokusatsu "we'll get you next times Power Ranger' aliens. More like the "let's not let up this invasion and kill all humans" aliens

-Next week looks really good (They really aren't letting up)

Well...this episode was a so-so. Not as entertaining as the last 3 episodes but I guess it's okay. 3/5

Also, seems like next week Psy will play the guitar.
Can't wait^^

I fucking love this show!

The extra tracks they played really enhanced this episode greatly for me. I was actually in suspense and when Heroman busted his hand I was like, oh shit!

Of all the good shows presently airing, I can't help but look forward to this the most. Yes, that includes Durarara, FMA: Brotherhood, Angel Beats, etc...

So the great weapon of this supposedly highly advanced race, is a giant pinball ball which grows spikes? >_>
Eh.

As for the episode itself, I didn't find it as boring the as previous ones, but it was still pretty bland.

This was exactly what I was thinking!! But I don't think that anything in this series makes sense...

i.e. why did they have to evacuate the people with trucks??? I mean couldn't they just cross the street to get out of the ball's way??

Stan Lee is getting senile...

Well atleast they didn't use the balls in canon shots, that would have sucked, also I beleave Joey made connection with Heroman when his eyes glow, its a link that is going on and their both pretty much fighting the sphere together. Thats why he was tired, because he could feel the weight of the sphere.

Now I liked this ep alot, it showed that the aliens weren't just a joke, that hero man and Joey, are going to have a tuff time, especially if they're alone in the fight.
Poor willy, got what he wanted, and what was coming to him, for sheer and utter stupidocity.

At the beginning, I agree with you but well isn't it a good thing now that they evacuated them with trucks since there is a lot more of those spheres?

This. Somehow it was more bad ass then a bunch of aliens with advanced weapons. Even Heroman couldn't stop it! *gasp* Well at least it was not really cliché, just stupid.
I agree with Garfield; The skrugg's seiyuu is awesome and most likely the only voice that doesn't drive me insane.
Psy slightly irritates me; it might be his enourmous and puffy hairball, or the fact that they have a crippled person running all over the place acting as the courier. "Quick psy run and save the refuges!" O.o

I'm not liking the Heroman megazord. Joey screaming "HEROMAN!" every 15 seconds doesn't help either. Behind every main character, there's a girl that wants to fuck his brains out, but for whatever reason, Joey ignores Lina and goes after Black-Spike? Deathball better makes things more interesting.

You seem to forget that these are highly evolved cockroaches. Even the normals ones are much more sufficiently radiation resistant than most biological life on earth.

Just hit me that that is a terrible idea.

If it is theorized that normal cockaroaches can survive a nuclear explosion, super-intelligent cockroaches should brush it off like it's just a humid day.

LOL this episode. I admit I enjoyed it, despite its flaws. "HEROMAN... AUGMENT!" Damn Joey, props to you. I would have expected "TRANSFORM!" or something haha.

Comments:
- I laughed so hard when Joey employed Psy to help. "Psy! I know you're crippled but we need YOU to go evacuate people. Hurry!" Oh geez.

- Anyone else feel weirded out when the ship, er, "let drop" that first ball? Looked so much like someone taking a shit. Or even giving birth, lmao.

- Will and his sidekick are so annoying. Hurry up and die. And how did they even manage to sneak on board in the first place? Surely the Skrugg are advanced enough to detect intruders. Oh well, I guess their purpose is so we learn more about the Skrugg.

- Haha the weapons may seem primitive, but damn, they're effective. What the hell are you gonna do when you can't stop a ball that destroys everything in its path? Seriously, that one ball could run to the other side of the world and back again. What's interesting is that when it was released from the ship and ran down the side, the ship wasn't harmed. So either the ship is incredibly fortified or resistant to their own technology. (Also, it appears to be alive.)

- Lina is annoying and useless. I hope they flesh her character out and she actually DOES something. Otherwise she can gtfo.

- Am glad Heroman couldn't easily stop the ball. Yay suspense!

Um...because there are 3 million people in the city? There's 10-20 Trillion dollars worth of infrastructure in the city? You don't nuke your own cities until you absolutely have to. I'm sure the idea has crossed the President's mind, but first he'll want to exhaust all other options.

Oh, and if the alien ship's forcefield is too strong for nukes, the backup plan is usually to nuke everything within 100 km of the invasion force. If they move, nuke that region, too. Make it worthless to them to invade, in other words. But that really is the last resort.

The nostalgia effect is wearing off, so I'm not enjoying the last couple of episodes as much as the first couple. Joey is a so-so lead character. Psy is pretty cool. Everyone else is snore to annoying. The baddies are roaches. Why aren't they experimenting on Will and his portly sidekick or is there no longer any interest? Sigh. I'm pretty sure I would be loving this series if I was much, much younger. Not bad. Just doesn't grip me in the least bit.

About Will and his friend ...
You don't look in the preview ?
Look better ... You will saw two "others" Cockroach who are differents ... One Smaller ... and one with bigger muscles.
So ... Why do you think if Will and his friend are killed by Joey ?

Why not ? Not possible because it's a show for kids ? o/
Hum ... Two name : Stan Lee, Gwen Stacy.

It's why, i have big hope for this show.

Oh ... And about the ball ... If you really want to compare another show with a big ball ...
Try the series : The prisoner.

This is getting interesting...

"Heroman...Engage!"

SPLAT!!
*Heroman gets squished*
LOL

I find it troubling that they evacuated everyone but they left Psy. From the preview also, it seems Lina stayed. How could the military miss evacuating people. Stupid military.

I was expecting a random powerup here and they gave it. Though how far can they go with the powerups? Maybe extra parts from the toys, since Joey replaced Heroman's arms.

Next episode, assassins. I'm starting to enjoy this show, though it's kind of irritating when Joey is screaming Heroman like every minute.

Then all they need is disinfectant. I don't know if you ever tried throwing some at a cockroach but it's immediate death.
Even with bug spray they run quite long before they die but once i threw a little Dettol(don't know if you know the product at the US) at one and she died at the spot. This enlarged my idea that they are more like a dirty microbe than bugs, no wonder they are so dirty.

THIS.
The show gets more lame as it goes. I don't expect it to be more than a comic style of show but still there is a limit on how childish you can be before it starts to look bad.
I also hate how the army always does nothing in Alien invasion shows like this. I'm certain than the US army and world army in general can do a lot better than just sending ten F-22 and quiting after they get destroyed.

Also why are people gathering at a building in an Alien invaded city instead of starting moving to other city's? Would you stay there?

Lame alien plan is also lame. Yeah let's throw some big round spheres to go around earth. What exactly to they expect with that?
If they want to destroy humans then just release some biological,chemical weapon or some massive destruction weapon and get over with it.

Oh yeah the idiot got captured. Surprise, surprise!!

Me too and i don't think it's just for that. I hate his face and his hair and how they try so hard to make him look like the most decent person ever that can be the perfect supportive character.
