| I noticed a shadowed-out person swinging a guitar a la FLCL's Haruko style, This character should appear sooner rather than later. >,< |

Forever said: Anyone comparing this to FLCL must have serious problems and should consult a doctor. Thanks. Yeah, this is way better. |

llamaben said: I can understand not liking how Americanized this show is since it's rarely (or ever) done to this extent, but now you're just nitpicking :/Also, the colours of the American flag on Heroman were terrible. |

BLeakXBuRSTX19 said: lol stan lee cameo n this show reminds me sooo much of Megas XLR it has been so long since i have watched Megas i pretty much missed it. i did get the feeling though especially when he started moving and especially when he was running. as for in your face this is America crap, i think it distracts from the show just a little bit. they could have been a little subtle about it. the American flag on heroman was too much. i remember just shaking my head at that scene. but then again when you look at the color scheme on the tittle, you pretty much get the motif. |
| Story is cliche, but I enjoyed the episode. Great animation, and they got the feel of an American school/streets and stuff right. I kind of wish this was dubbed in English though. It's just kinda weird that everyone is speaking Japanese when they try to shove the American flag in your face every second. XD I'm kinda excited to see how this show will turn out. |
| So by arriving near Earth, Invading Aliens (that looks like cockroaches) created a storm that created a robot that is, obviously, going to defeat this same aliens. Looks like the aim of this Anime is around Middle school level. |
| lolAmerica. I like Joey Jones and Psy. I love the art/animation. |
    |
| good episode to start with, i kinda like the model of heroman. BTW is it me or did i saw an anime version of Stan Lee about 14 min into the episode, because if true HELL YEAH!!! my head exploded for awesomeness. |
     |
| HATERS GONNA HATE. AMERICA WINS AGAIN!!!! |
| Whoop USA!~ I liked it even though it felt kind of weird watching it since everything is based in the US yet everyone spoke Japanese lol. Well anyways the animation is great, though Joey looks like a girl. And though its really generic, I can see it becoming a big franchise. I <3 Stan Lee and his all so discreet cameo’s. |
 Breath|| |
| Pretty decent first episode. Loved the Stan Lee cameo. <3 There's not really much to say. The animation was nice and so was the music. I already love Psy, maybe it's because he has Akira's voice from Eden. :D Anyways, looking forward to seeing how this goes in the long run. |
| I liked this a lot....a refreshing change from the usual anime. I'm not bothered by the American feel, I was already expecting it. Animation is great...story is fine to me.....though I'm more tolerant of "generic" storylines and whatnot. The only thing that is of concern to me are the aliens... |
| The animation for this anime is definitely top notch. I think character design wise, they should not make Heroman SO obviously american by using red and blue. Im fine with the story although many things are quite expected. They could have tweaked the storyline to make it more realistic... well maybe they are just going for sch kids so reality dont really matter XD |
| hehe Oh i think this will be my guilty pleasure this season. It's nowhere NEAR good, but i still enjoyed it XD |
| Seriously, what are the chances you left your toy under the open window in a storm? Then it gets hit by lightning. I wish it was more believable though. I still liked the episode, looks like an okay start to the series. |
 |
| GREAT first episode. I think this show has a lot of potential. They have some good characters set up, solid animation, great music, I am definitely going to give this show a shot. Premise is a little eh, but mainly I like the way the characters are set up. I think this show stands to have very interesting development. Now what this show needs is a really really good dub, because it's in fucking America lol. |
 |
| Though I agree that I am not fond of "America" being shoved in my face or the color scheme of Heroman...I am a HUGE fan of the animation. I thought the colors were well picked (except Heroman of course lol) and it flowed nicely from shot to shot and scene to scene, just what I would expect from Bone animation. The OST was amazing as well, especially the "aliens" opening song...a very large plus in my books. I am not, however, a fan of the story so far. It's a little bit cliche and unlikely that Joey finds a robot that he can't afford, fixes it up, and then it gets conveniently struck by lightning and comes to life in time to save his friend Lina...oh and to fight aliens in the next episode! lol. Overall however, it was good and better than I had expected. |
 |
| If the dialog change to English,i can't even tell the difference between whether this is japan anime or cartoon . |
| I really wonder if people notice how much detail was put into the animation i mean when heroman got hit by a car pieces everywhere. This anime look GREAT but the protagonist has a bitch-face =( thats a reall letdown too. |
| Ye-e-e-e-e-eeeesssssss *cries with joy* I love it when something truly awesome pops out. |
| It's like I am really watching a saturday morning cartoon! Also, I love how proper english is used (whiteboards and such) throughout the entire show, but the ED has engrish galore. |
 |
| IT'S A TRAP! Although cliche, because of the setting it feels rather refreshing. I just hope that other episodes are gonna be enjoyable like this one... and that it won't turn into another Ben 10. |
 |
| Like someone else said, it may not be the greatest show. But that does not mean I cannot enjoy watching it :D |
 |
| The robot reminds me of megaman for some reason. |
| eww.. I really don't like the first ep. Looks like a stereotypical shonen series with stereotypical characters. Characters are cliche and character interaction is so artificial. Ugg, complete disappointment; even the graphics were a huge letdown. Many people said it had great animation or something. Personally I did not like it and could have done a lot better job with it; a lot of awkward movements like that cg ufo in the beginning. Next episode looks like a generic fighting ep with nothing interesting. Hopefully it gets better later on : ( 2/5 |

| it was good ep ~ I like it but I can't expect any thing interesting from it ! .. eh wait The aliens were Cockroaches XDDDD !! |
| The story is a bit generic, but nostalgic. The animation quality was amazing. Still, I have a quarry with the ending of this episode. Doesn't Joey have the logic to know that it's unsafe to remove passengers from a car crash like that? Putting their possibly heavily injured bodies under more stress will only make things worse...though I suppose the fuel leakage would make up for the horribly rash action. R.I.P. the other people involved in the fenderbender who weren't saved. Also, it's nice to see an American environment in an anime again. |
| Ah... it's been ages since I've watched something like this. It has the Marvel feel to it. The art and the production are definitely a bonus. I shall watch this just cuz I don't have anything to do this month |
 |
| This is rather interesting anime, and the songs are both good. :] |
O_O |

| I don't mind the story being in America, I liked Soul Eater (their school is located in Nevada if I'm not mistaken) but there are a lot of stereotypes and stuff that remind me of Marvel comics which are on a way lower level than manga imho. I liked the animation, Bones are doing a very good job and the music is ok but aside from that this show is not much to my liking. |

| Why I think this show is gonna be vastly entertaining, i point to the opening. I saw ALOT of potential in it. I saw heroman beating the shit out of lots of aliens. I hope thats how its gonna be. ^-^ |
| If only Psy was the main character instead of Josephine, I would enjoy it more. Oh and I can't take Heroman seriously; He looks ridiculous. |
| My hardcore bullshit detector went off the scale. |
 |
| The anime is perfect. I liked the first episode and I hope much of the second ^ ^ Sorry the bad traduction (Google Translator) |
