----------------------------------------
Actual line uttered in the episode. "AMERICA BANZAI!"

-Who the hell was that guy acting as President? He's too old and not the right ethnicity! In fact, he kind of looks like....a really old Bush. Come on Japan, keep up with the times here!

-Psy says Screw You to wheelchairs.

-Okay, I'm going to just pretend Joey knew the barrier was going to come out and Heroman protected him not knowing that instead of thinking that Joey just pulled an Emiya Shirou by jumping in front of the attack...

-Heh. When they were showing locations of the Skrugg's broadcast, I was like "Oh, they're not going to show Japan?" Turns out, it's in Asia of all places, who knew? :P And yay, they played that awesome villain music during the broadcast

-I forsee Will going evil later.

-STAN LEE NEXT WEEK! WHOO!

Not sure if Stan is chillin' or just waiting for his coffee.



This episode was totally entertaining, including that dirty brawl. My only problem is Will. It's either he's unrealistic or just fucking crazy and no... I don't mean that in a "TK" way.

Can't believe it but, for an action show made by Bones, I'm finding this to be incredibly boring. Not sure if it's the story (never was a big fan of superhero themes), or the characters (which I simply can't like). The animation and the music are the only aspects that I find entertaining.

Same here, the only thing that I look forward to when watching Heroman is the Bones animation. This week's episode is like a remake of independence day. But atleast the aliens in that show actually die... The aliens in this anime are immune to bullets, tanks, helicopter and fignter jets... absolutely amazing yar! =___=''' and yet they are killed by punches? Maybe Heroman's arms are powered by a nuclear reactor... than I got nothing to say. My brain just cant inject any sense into the show

I agree. I give shows scores amount to their fun value. When I'm having fun I don't need to use my brain. That's why I gave Heroman an 8. Because I'm having a good fun watching it and that's the most important thing.

Nice way to attract their attention Joey, just scream out loud. Too bad he didn't get blasted then. Typical for the military tanks and helicopters to have zoom-out explosions that don't emphasize the casualties. Lol at the President's sideburns. I think Will will become an experiment for the Skruggs and turned to an enemy. Guess now we have to get used to Heroman posing everytime he beats the enemies. Still, this show is really amusing. More Stan Lee and Lina please.

Although I still really like this series and this episode, I have to acknowledge the fact that it was completely unnecessary for Heroman Blast. He was already beating them easily making it completely useless to power up.

Comparison: That is like Goku going Super Sayian to beat a Saibaman.

It's pretty interesting for a superhero plot line, but lacks in some places, It's so well done though. the quality is amazing, almost every frame could be used as artwork.

So boring and cliché I'm dropping this today. Hmmm, and now that I think about it, this show's only redeeming qualities are its music and animation, doesn't it ring a bell ? Soul Shitter someone ?

Completely agree.... though this show is targeted more toward younger viewers to begin with so that's to be expected. It is a convenient coincidence (yeah right) that the things we dislike are the things the American side had a hand in.... well, hopefully it will make some good money toward future projects.

Unbelievable. This show has just reached another level of shit.

Supersaiyan Heroman? Really? What the fuck at Joey randomly jumping into the fight? Yeah sure, shounen protagonists always jump in and shit but Joey is just plain retarded. Will is an even bigger retard. I'm not even sure what the fuck his problem is. They should've just left him as the big dumb jock instead of the big dumb jock hero wannabe.

Dropped. Not even Stan Lee can save this shit.

What? Is that even logically sound? You mean entertainment value? Well, you are talking about 49 episodes for the first 4 seasons. That's cheating.

It was a little better than the last 2 episodes. But it's still not that great. I don't know what you people are watching, but to me, it's just your normal cliche superhero tv show for kids. =_="

Drop it? I'll just wait a couple more episodes and then I'll decide.

PS. I don't like Joey's voice. It's too wimpy, no wait, too girly.

I don't even like Ben 10 but so far its better than Heroman. Heroman is not meant to be aired at 9pm. More like 9am.

There's a heck of a lot of Marvel cliche's here. And its quite obvious the show is directed at kids, very young kids. I'm sure they'll eat this up this side of the Pacific once its dubbed. Still, I'm going to stick with it, mainly to see what other Marvelisms show up. Mind you, the whole "military is useless against aliens" cliche really bugs me.

I'm also partially convinced that the aliens theme is inspired by Unicron's Theme

During the fight scene I could only possibly think "Man of Steel"... most of the brawling felt fairly Superman style. Then Heroman went super saiyan on me, as I could only think "Goku" after that spark hair thing. I guess Heroman is the mecha fusion of Kakarot and Kal'el.

So pumped for next week!

its prolly more then that. its clear that joey, will and psy have some kind of history that hasn't been explained yet. question is how long till will goes dark side since it definitely seems lie they are building up to it.

other than the incessant shouting of "HEROMAN!", i am still absolutely smitten with this show.
i hope to keep seeing stan, as that's a fun little perk.
a childhood hero of mine keeps popping up randomly in an anime series (yes, i know he created it, before the pretentiousfags jump me).
still..... basically 10/10 so far.
i don't know, maybe i suck at anime, but i fucking love this show.

as much as i'd like to believe that... and you may be right.... but at this juncture, i am more inclined to think that you are simply reading far too much into this show.
i doubt any character history is going to happen, at least not in-depth.
i am still waiting to be told that joey is a girl, though.

I love it too.

I guess most people here aren't into American cartoons, and that explains the lower scores/criticism really.

The battle between Heroman and the 6-7 aliens was awesome.
