| This is like a cheesy B-movie with a sky high budget that you can't stop watching despite it being genuinely bad. I guess it somehow makes me feel nostalgic of when I was a kid watching cartoons Saturday morning. x) -Hei- said: Lina doujins fucking where? Delicious (reverse) trap Joey's will come out first. x) |

| I seriously hope Lina is not going to turn into some kind of damsel-in-distress every fucking episode. |

| So far, the only great thing this show has to offer is its eye candy and design. However, there's not much else I find notable with this show. It feels just like a regular comic book. For a show with such high production values, it feels like a wasted effort. Maybe I would love this show more if I were younger.. Ignoring any fault with the story and focusing primarily on the visuals and the action at hand. |
 |
| Yep. Generic Saturday morning-style show. Reminds me of the things I watched when I was 8. If it's short, I guess I'll stick with it till the end. HEEEEROOOOOOMAAAAAAAAAANNNnNNN .... GOOOOO! (Oh, gawd.) |

"/GRABS MOP" "OH THAT DIDN'T WORK, LET ME USE THIS EPIC RULER INSTEAD!!!" When he pulled out that ruler i thought: Holy shit now we are fucked!!! To bad he never got a chance to use it.

I'm surprised no one thought of using bug-spray. They are cockroaches after all. |
| Good god, I am already bored with this series. Dropped. Someone tells me if it gets good later on. |
 |
| I wish the alien ship design was more original or something. I think Lina is wearing the shortest cheerleader skirt I have ever seen....not that I'm complaining.....she's pretty attractive (at least for an anime character). |
| I agree, its super cheesy, generic and the alien ship design is SO -__-''' One thing tat really bothered me was tat the bullets the police fired at the cockroaches (aka aliens) simply bounce off them but Heroman's punches squashed those bugs to goo. Are they saying his punches have more force per unit area that a bullet?! Come one lar... |

I just KNEW "-boku" was the male one. I just wasn't sure. With that logic doesn't that make more than half of the pronouns ambiguous since they either say "both" or "Mostly male/rarely female (boyish)" vice versa? It sounds like you guys are just trying to push the trap joke too far when he's clearly a boy. I mean, I'm not disagreeing that he looks and sounds like a girl but seriously. Guy. But fine, if it must be that way. "I just KNEW "-boku" was the one that was used mainly by young males but sometimes females, it depends on the setting, but in this case it's male." Is that better? |

| For all its clichés and cheesiness, I'm still liking it so far. |

I LOL'd so hard while reading that and yes the anime is cheesy but if you get over that fact its actually a pretty fun anime. It kinda does feel like a Saturday morning cartoon which is kind of nostalgic for me, plus BONES art is nice to look at. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. |
| Predictable and cheesy but what the heck, it's fun to watch...Only bad thing was no Stan Lee cameo... Lina is so hot... |

Yet you have problems with a small 30cm toy robot transforming into a 3m high "living" robot?[/quote said: Im not sure if Heroman is living or just AI with human emotions. Actually, Im fine with a 30cm toy robot transforming into a 3m robot if there is a somewat credible storyline. In this case, their idea of a lightning transforming a toy to 3m robot utterly lacks creativity nor shows any attempt at injecting a sense of realism in relation to the circumstances of the setting. |
| It's cliché. It's cheesy. For some reason I still like it. btw: Joey: "Heromannnnn!!!!" Heroman: -glares@Joey- |
Haylias said: I lol'd at how Heroman airs in the same time slot as Dora the Explorer. Says alot about the target audience. Hey did you know Gintama originally had this timeslot. |
| |
| I felt it really really went downhill in awesomeness and quality this episode..it was pretty cool in the first episode but the second wasn't nearly as good. I wont drop it since I want to see Stan Lee ask for coffee some more. |
| Ok™ |
Fiaca said: This is SO shitty I can't believe someone likes it (talking about the story, music and animation aside). Well, maybe you US people (not american, America is bigger than US >_>) do because you've been accustomed to shit since you were little (I'm talking about those "saturday cartoons" you've been talking about). The problem is not that it's a cliched story, I don't mind a little of it. The problem is when the ONLY thing about the story are cliches, and nothing really new. I was planning to give some example of a cliche here, but I realised I just should narrate the full 2 episodes so far. gudo said: or a fairly unique plot that turns out a steaming pile of shit (slice of life series about a hardcore anime nerd). execution is what matters - how the writers handle the concept. I wouldn't trust very much the judgement of someone who thinks Lucky Star is a steaming pile of shit. You fail at contrasting. Saturday morning cartoons > Lucky Star |

Fiaca said: SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE MY GOOBY MOESHIT ANIMU! THEY MUST BE WRONG tell me more about your butthurt |
| I'm not sure about the kinda shows you guys watched saturday mornings but I'm positive GI Joes, Transformers G1 and Swat Kats would rape Joey and his doll up the ass. Heck, even Winnie the pooh would. |
kaena said: this shit is so cheesy. its the typical american children cartoon show. and since an american wrote the story, it seems like it wont get any better. i watched this cuz it was bones, but this anime fails in too many aspects. characters are still so lame. animation is good, yes, but story, characters, setting, etc, are all very cliche. and i have developed a person hate for joey. he literally seems homosexual. and heroman looks like a fag. on the verge of dropping this show Just had to point this out. It's like a mixture of a weeabo and a homophobe! |

kuroshiroi said: It's not. It may be used mostly by males but females, especially young ones, use it too. Again, it's ambiguous. As far as I've heard (from people who actually speak Japanese) "boku" is used almost exclusively by males in real life. Yes, a lot of female anime characters use it, but anime characters don't talk like real people. |

| did someone say Reverse Trap? |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| I wonder how many episodes there will be. I mean, they can't drag it on forever since the invacsion starts in the next episode. Or... uh, forget it. They can always drag it out. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
Marow said: I wonder how many episodes there will be. I mean, they can't drag it on forever since the invacsion starts in the next episode. Or... uh, forget it. They can always drag it out. I am so positive it's 24 episodes. |

| This show is going to be huge in America. I can already imagine seeing it on Cartoon Network. As far as the actual episode, I liked it. |
SoFarGone said: Indeed. It's so cheesy; feels like something you'd watch on cartoon network. I'll stick to it, because it's bearable at least and I don't feel like dropping it, yet.its kinda lame. |

Nyktos said: I know this. That still doesn't change the fact they used the most ambiguous term. Watashi would just mean he was polite, ore would mean he was really masculine, boku... ambiguous, especially at his age.kuroshiroi said: It's not.

Yes, a lot of female anime characters use it, but anime characters don't talk like real people. Hydrazoid said: What I was going for was the science or the physics of the thing. Heroman gaining mass out of thin air is about as believable as him being able to punch the aliens to a pulp, due to the physics behind it being very similar, i.e. mass out of thin air. I'm not going to touch the lightning bit, that's just standard Stan Lee superhero stuff...kuroshiroi said: Yet you have problems with a small 30cm toy robot transforming into a 3m high "living" robot?

kuroshiroi said: EuphoricField said: I don't care if it's childish or not...or cheesy I LOVED IT! The OP is growing on me but the ED still sucks. I actually like the Opening and and I don't think the ending sucks. It may not be Remember, Go Fighting Dreamers, or Around the World.. but hey Flow can have song that not everyone likes.... Anyway.. yes its cheesy, I will agree... BUT I FREAKING LOVE IT! :) THIS must be dubbed and I would hope they use a guy for Joey's voice in dubbed version... and let Bandai do it.... btw... I want some great MALE Seiyu to do Heroman's voice that's the only thing it REALLY needs... |

| alien invasion- did the professor not think that it might happen? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
VincentIII said: That would suck but I can't see that happening. However, that would be maximum heroic in a sense. I have a feeling this show will end almost exactly like Iron Giant. T_T |
| Lina is such a damsel in distress... The fact that after screaming she ran TOWARDS the big bug aliens... Well at least Joey doesn't have a secret identity anymore. That's right Joey, a true human doesn't hide the fact that he is kick as and has a robot minion! Some things bug me; why did he use a "special" punch to finish the bug off? Why does the invocation of Heroman make me think he is trying to say Megaman? Where is stan lee's coffee? Why do the Bugs IMPLODE when punched in the stomach really hard? At least next episode it looks like the aliens turn into typical storm troopers! Actually i am enjoying this show, but more so because i can be cynical of everything cliche or shounen like it does. ^.^ |
