New OP and ED are both great

The government definitely makes a better enemy than those the Skrugg as well... Though from the OP and ED it definitely seems that they will team up against another enemy at the end...

Hell yeah. Kylee OP was great. ED was really cool too. I liked the 2-D on real life parts

-The OP seems to foreshadow a lot like Joey on the run for most of this part, the Skrugg coming back and for some reason, Stan Lee's character is all over the song. Does that mean he'll be playing a bigger part? I really hope so.

-Hughes is pretty cool. Though the OP and ED pretty much spoil that he'll be friends with Joey at some point.

-The way this arc is heading is way better than the Skrugg arc. The story has had a full narrative before but this just seems like a much cooler direction to take.

(Chibi-Joey and Lina are so CUTE! :P)

Love the new OP. I like that song better than the last one. The ED was interesting...I don't really have any comments on that song but I liked the 2D with reality thing.

I also agree that the way the story is going now is a lot more interesting than before. Now I'm starting to feel glad I stuck around long enough for this part of the story.

Oh and did Joey forget he had super speed?...He could have used that to easily escape.

Is it just me, or does Heroman look a lot like Joey's dad?

Guess I'm the first to say that I didn't like the new OP and ED songs. But the content is pretty good. Lots of foreshadowing and spoilers for future episodes.

This government chase/escape arc is pretty good. Though from the OP, another enemy will show up and maybe Joey will team up with Hughes. Meanwhile, Joey is on the run now. Wonder what Lina has to say about this. And the preview says that Psy and the prof will get captured next episode. I agree that this show is getting better now, whatever the ratings on MAL say.

So, we all up and skedaddle now?

as far as the spoil in the op and ed, its really not much of one since the skruggs were not completely destroyed. even so, this show has pretty much become fairly predictable.

it would be so much cooler if joe could merge with heroman. unfortunately its not that kind of show.

The new opening reflects the improvements of this show since that other atrocity of a song and plot. I agree with llamaben, the government is such a better enemy.

While the roadblock thing was sort of standard, but i did get excited with the helicopter. I guess i will have to wait for the next episode to see the van get caught though.

Still enjoying this show though.

Heroman and Joey can leave Heroman like that while escaping or Heroman have to be closed to get that superspeed.

When everything was clear that Skrugg will come back since they leave something behind.
But why does goverment make Heroman as bad guy, those reporter didn't like those lies either.

That was a pretty cool chase scene. The government sees the separate entity as a threat to the national security of their nation and do anything to either capture or destroy it. There will always be conflict. (That and the government lies a lot)

1- some spinning Giga Drill Breaker kick
2- a lightning ball that explodes on impact (finally some dbz reference ^_^)

Same here. It's still generic and predictable as hell but at this point I don't even care anymore. It's been ages since I enjoyed an anime this much.

And God dammit Stan lee! Do you have to place yourself in the OP and ED?!

OP and ED were nice... Stan Lee in both of them. <3
Only thing that I liked about this episode is Holly... I was laughing hard when I saw her sleeping face and then all of a sudden she started screaming all of the sudden.
Stupid episode overall... anime isn't so worth of my time, but with due respect for Stan Lee I will see this anime through.
Why is episode stupid? Joy could find some route where he could go by foot while those 2 passed with some excuse for leaving. We don't know if there are some kind of track team off road, but its still easier way to get out. Just think about this, Joy uses his power without summoning heroman and runs like Forest Gump. Easy as american pie.
Too much american promotion... but that is Stan Lee, he can even make Japanese do what he wants to. :S

O.o Stan Lee puts himself in the OP and ED? Hehe love it! Didn't like the OP song much but I did like the visuals. As for the ED, I love it! I wish the whole series used real backgrounds like that.

The music playing when they were crossing the check points was pretty cool.

New OP is awesome. Ending is okay. Are they going to fight in New York?
Anyways for the episode, I kinda like it and it's much more interesting than the skrugg story and I see a lot of awesome fights in the future. Glad that I didn't drop this anime ^^

If you get lost by a simple series like this then dodn't ever try to get into psychological philological series like Evangelion, Experiments Lain and all that. Stay with shounen and only the simple ones.

As i said before and seems others share my opinion, this series got a lot better from the moment we got over the cockroaches.
Let's hope it doesn't ruin everything again.

New OP song was good and all but OMG! this pic.

Were to begin to even analyze it. The flag with the hero holding it, the blond cheerleader, the black muscle guy, Stan Lee with his coffee, the rock sister, the small bullied boy that finds power, the best friend, the crazy scientist friend, the government agents. If clishe ever had a pic to go along with it, this would be it. Stan Lee just can't get over his obsessions can't he? Not that i care really, it can still be fun if it keeps going like the last episodes. It's just that that pic was so epic in an lol manner.

all i meant was it felt like there's is a missing episode or a lost episode because it just jumps to there escape and monad and evangelion is one of my fav animes thank u very much. i only watch heroman because i want to see what stan lee can do with japanese animation because he is the USA animation king and this is a great crossover

I liked the first OP a lot more, this lacks a bit of character.

Also, how convenient! An abandoned mine that THE ARMY did not see! Weren't they planning on leading Joey into a trap? How could they overlook that? That, in my opinion, is a severe plot hole.
But well, I watch Heroman for fun, and fun I had.

(speculation alert!)
In the opening animation we can see that

Very nice ep. New OP is okay song-wise, animation wise awesome. ED is good too, but both give off easy spoilers which sucks.

I like how they used Holly for an example of how fucked up Green Eco-freaks are in the head!!! TAKE THAT ASSHOLES!!

Loving every minute of it :)

OP forshadowing them going to NYC? perhaps? Maybe DC?
ED was beyond epic. If you imagined what 2d would look like in 3d locations, thats what i would think of. Not that the art style is unique, its just that they hardly ever use still life to 2D in a 1 to 1 ratio. Its usually out of perspective and awkward looking.

Joey on da RUN! Fun episode... Lina... kowai-so...
Wish she came with them srsly.

I am enjoying heroman way more than I thought I would. Its a little... it is a lot on the kiddy side of shonen, while I like the more brutal stuff. And I can ignore all the.. ummm, they just don't know that much about America thing, though they do get a lot of stuff right. But you can tell that the creators are marvel fans, and they give us americans fan service. Its a fun anime to watch. And the art is beautiful too. Bones is a great company!
