This show doesn't have a single flaw, it's successfully fulfilled everything it's aimed to do so far without missing a beat.

I guarantee if this series took place in Japan and spent 60% more time on school episodes, its MAL score would be 1.5 points higher at least. It's a series that's honestly just too good for weaboos.

You really don't have high standards, do you?

This show has hundreds of flaws. The only thing that makes it stand out is that despite those flaws it's still enjoyable. But not great.

Pfft. I dare you to name these mythical flaws

Oh boy, where do I start?

Pick up a Marvel comic. In it you will find every plot twist, story mechanic and characters that this show has presented. It's been done.
Villains with no motivation or clear goal besides being stereotypical evil.
A extremely hypocritical main character who finds the Aliens actions against humanity monstrous but does not seem to find his robots mindless slaughter of their kind wrong in any way. Oh except when his robot goes berserk and tries to kill them without him. Then it's wrong.
A love interest who's role is to be nothing more than a damsel in distress. She does not seem to have a personality either.
The old "school bully turning evil villain" gimmick. With added mind control to boot.
President is white.(Alright that one was a joke)
American flags everywhere. Even on the damn robot. Like a giant flag saying America is the best country in the world which is very funny as the animation is being made in Japan!
Gimmicks everywhere. Aliens land with people screaming and a single crying child. Mother takes child away who drops her teddy which then gets stamped on by aliens. You must have seen that somewhere before.
Elaborate transformation scenes just to show a kid pressing a button.

And many, many more. Now I am not saying this is a bad show. And considering that this is based on the first nine episodes things could change. But it's not even close to the best. It's generic to a T.

You see, those are all good qualities to me. This show plays by the books so hardcore that it's almost nostalgic
also, hilarious

Especially America's greatness sprinkled all over ever frame. sooooo good.

Well what ever floats your boat....

Also I'm Irish so that America greatness only comes off as obnoxious to me. Plus I am still trying to figure out what makes America so great.

we have more to be proud of than potatoes and susan boyle xd

I sincerely apologize for this ignorant person. Not all Americans act like this.

this is true
South Americans are louder and speak Spanish

you have a bad taste dude....
personally i know this one is shitty... but I miss my mecha Animu T__________T
still watch this just for eyecandy and lol, but still have a BLIND hope this one can became like Gunbuster (half shit and the other half is OVER +9000 CLASSIC)

but let be honest, once shit is always shit

whatever, I watch this awhile waiting for Break Blade BD/DVD release

Sorry, I'm South American and I speak Portuguese, not spanish. |:

Anyway, this anime is so chicle ..
Heroman is the typical show that has a common history, but it is nice to spend time.
But ... Never be'll the best.

- Sorry my bad english. :D

I know. Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. I am just glad he didn't say anything about leprechauns and thatched houses. Besides I made a crack about America as well.

Well Nyron my idiotic friend. We do actually have more to be proud of than potatoes and.....who the hell is Susan boyle?(Looks it up)
Ah

Well...would you look at that....So....do you prove you are an idiot with every sentence you speak?

Race wars are stupid, Irish started it anyway. And Brazilians (and the surrounding countries) love their Saint Seiya dont they? ^_^

Back to topic...

Well its good to see what a Marvel comic looks like anime'd up. Also a good show to see a taste of how Iron Man and X-Men will pan out. Any irony Irish pointed out is the exact same for 98% of the anime titles they bring out. The only good thing about this one and comic books, is that they're plot holes arent as fantastical as most manga and anime plotholes. Side note, look at all the JPN games none of them have stories or barely have one (Tekken, Street Fighter, Shootemups, Ninja Gaiden) with the exception of JRPGs (but they're all the same with just different characters)

You can scream "its been done before" till you're blue in the face but lets face it, most anime have that virus of being an anime.

Anime that has the anime virus contain:

• At least 4 out of the 9 character types (quiet, cool, smart, cute, strong, etc. or to be technical, shounen, tsundere, kuudere, dandere, etc)
  
• None ever really dies (or N.E.R.D)
  
• Everyone yells more than they should
  
• Unexplainable things happen at the most opportune moments. (i.e. Driving that car through the dojo in Kurenai, or they find a cure for virus X in anime Z)
  
• Things that are obvious to the viewer but not obvious for the anime characters (like the concept of teaming up on a bad guy in One Piece)
  
• Outrageous things happen that usually can't be explained either way (from fact checking or historical references)
  

This is all in reference to shounen action anime. Theres a reason why they're categorized into things called genre's. Same elements are typical, the only difference between all of them is the art and the direction.

Come on, as far as shounen anime goes, this is one of the better ones. And compared to all the titles this season, its way better than the rest (including Hajime no Ippo meets Prisonbreak anime called Rainbow. It may be a typical "comic book" story but that is what it is. It's made by Stan fukin Lee. You either love him or you really REALLY hate comic book superheroes.

Also, its a damn kids show, a little too critical for a kids show don't you think so Irish? The kid you're arguing with is probably 1/2 your age so might as well not keep rollin with the punches. I grew up watching these kind of cartoons when I was a young'n (Xmen, TMNT, Batman, etc) So its more for a nostalgic value for me. Shame that Saturday morning cartoon format is pretty much long dead.

@Ranvius
you know after watch more episode
but yeah I miss mah' Saturday Cartoons T___________T

You have no idea how hard I lolled at this thread

not really, we know this thread is a troll

try harder bro

Saint Seiya is the shit! Saori-saaaaaaaaan!!!



Ahem. Heroman is super generic but Im just hoping that the opening sequence full of battles ends up happening. If I get something with half the epic of Gurren Lagann Ill be happy. Im on episode 3 right now, BTW.

The America Fuck Yeah attitude in the anime is funny as hell. Also, I live in California so the locales in the anime remind me of places around here.

Yes, Saint Seiya is very popular here, although I don't like it. I'm not so old to watch Saint Seiya for love it, those who watched in my childhood, I prefer Digimon.

Anyway, I Heroman until I'm liking just as I like the HQ.
And... The troll this topic is not me and I don't want a race war, sorry if I misunderstood.xD

Irish has a name by the way Ranivus.

Well I can't argue with that. There are exceptions but you are correct that a lot of anime reuses the same formula. Still even so there are Animes that take these generic formulas and turn it into something original. I don't mind if a show borrows a good few cliches as long as it pulls something good with it. However this show has taken cliches at every turn and used them in the exact same way as they have been for centuries.

You would think that Stan Lee might have picked up some new tricks after all these years. However this shows he's still stuck in old ways.

True it's a kids show. So I may be judging it a bit harshly. But come on. Give these kids a challenge. Just because it's a kids show does not mean that it can be generic as hell. Now I feel the same nostalgic value that you do. Hell this is ten times better than the crap they pass as Saturday morning cartoons these days. It stops me from calling this a bad show. But I could never label this as great.
Also I figured he was not a mature age. But hell I call an idiot when I see one. This is the internet. If you act like a bitch then you will be treated as one. Age is of no importance.
