| Promising start! 4/5 |
 |
| i found this a great, really unique episode, i can"t wait for the next episode! |
| As others have said, this was not on my list of anime to watch this season. However, I watched it as I've already watched all the ones that I was planning to watch, and have already aired. Honestly, for the first 10 minutes, I was thinking how it looks nice, yet doesn't feel very appealing, but as more of Kotetsu's background/characteristics/etc were revealed, I really started to enjoy the show. Also, this has the best ED song of all the ones aired this season, imho. |
| From the looks of it this is going to be a like it or hate it anime. I liked it. the main character kinda reminds me of Holland from Eureka seven. The animation gets kinda weird though. |
| Interesting start. Glad the product placement wasn't as bad as I thought. The pepsi commercial was pretty lol though. Totally got Karas vibes from this with the character designs. |
 |
| So far, I think its good since, its not another one of those old used up topics of heros heros heros.. instead it actually has something different Yay? xD lol at the ending part "a good bennin make a gud... I can't read this!!!" xDD I like Kotetsu, he seems interesting and not blah 8D yay~ |
 |
| For an advertising anime, it's not bad. |
| WAAAAAAAAAW! I wasn't expecting that this would be anything I would like, but actually I did and a lot! 8/10 for first ep. The animation is great! |
| Love the VA cast for this series! Surprisingly fun and interesting first episode we got here. I'll definitely be following this for the season. |
| Oho, I didn't expect this to be THIS fun! It was incredibly entertaining, I'm looking forward to more. |
 |
STM said: Oho, I didn't expect this to be THIS fun! It was incredibly entertaining, I'm looking forward to more. Yeah a lot better than expected for me too. It seems many share the same opinion. The main guy is sympathetic also. The fact that this anime uses advertising in such way, while the story seems to show the bad side of capitalism, is interestingly contradictory and ironic. |
| Like all of you, i was not so much interessed by that ...And i think i will see more of it. |
 |
| At least it was better than Dog Shit ^_- |
| That was unexpectedly good. |
| This could be the sleeper hit of the season - even the year (if they don't stuff it up). |
| Sky-high soo cool!! This looks like it could be interesting. |
| This reminds me of The Incredibles a little bit. I love Kotetsu. I love how he is passively rebellious but as a middle aged man with no other career options, he doesn't push his luck too far. |
| Ben Jackson looks like a fat Martin Lawrence... |
| I felt that this show is making fun of the western hero cartoon.... well anyway who cares, this Anime is fun to watch and that is what all important. So much unnecessary epic movement for such a normal criminal ...... "thankyou very much and also thankyou very much" I sense the dark side of Agnes joubet ,I am expecting her to be the last boss of the show(since this anime is bout "advertising" anyway) Kotetsu's new boss has best attitude in the anime and Kotetsu's English made my day |

| Well, the episode was funny and i expected anything more serious, but it wasnt bad... I like. |
| Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on... |
| bromance? in this show? i'm sold. jk LMFAO i really like tiger's character a lot. oddly enough, i'm always fond of the ~papa~ characters.... B(a they're so endearing as;ldkajsfklwei. |
 |
| It was okay. I was pretty surprised too. I'll watch some more to see where it's going. |
  |
| Great episode. I hadn't expected much, but the concept and story of it was kind of interesting. And, Heroes with sponsor's logo are really funny. Especially, Rock Bison's "Gyuukaku", that means... well, I love it! I came to feel like going and eating some there! |
| What? No Pizza Hut this time? You disappoint me Sunrise. |
| "I'm commander Shepard, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes is my favorite anime in the galaxy" |
| now this IS SOMETHING? good 1st ep. |
| Far better than I thought it would be. First half was the usual action and introduction of characters. Once it settles down it really becomes so much more interesting. The product placement makes so much sense for the sports-like hero contest. This is already a better hero show than all the Marvel/Madhouse shows... this is entertaining, has a good gimmick, and has interesting characters. All things the Marvel shows really lacked. I really hope the show holds up this level of entertainment. I will certainly watch it as long as it does. |
 |
| I expected it to be bad in a fun way, but it was actually pretty genuinely good. I had to pause the video when they announced the new guy's power. "He's just like the other guy, but young". It was just so perfect. I was laughing for like ten minutes. I'd go to restart, and then it would strike me again how hilarious the situation was. Golden moment right there. It's a product placement show about superheroism having been ruined by capitalism to the point that it's little more than a product placement show. I can't decide what I think of that. Its' central message contradicts its' central purpose. Is that ironic, or is it just hypocritical? Either way, I'm a fan of the dichotomy. |
| As someone who is also a fan of comic books & western animation in addition to anime & manga, I had a blast watching this. Like everyone else has been saying, it reminds me a lot of The Incredibles in that it's a well-made deconstruction of superheroes that manages to stay kid-friendly. |
 |
| BOOSTER GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Anyone else think that this shows is exactly like an American cartoon show? |
| I gave it a 3 out of 5 because even though it was good it was too completely over the top by my standards. This could turn out good though who knows. |
 |
| an old man as the protagonist?<- not bad |
 |
| Didn't really know what to expect but thought it was a great episode. All the characters seem really interesting so far, plus a new take on the hero thing. It's actually a show where you compete for points? Cool. Seems like the new guy will be the "bunny" to Kotetsu's "tiger" ... huh. Felt kinda bad for him with that little kid and his daughter :3 I thought both the OP and ED were pretty good as well. The music really reminds me of a TV show lol XD |
| Was it just me or did that lady from the Hero Show look almost exactly like that business lady from Kuragehime? > v > |
| This is really really entertaining.Far better than what I expected from the description. |
 |
| this was a good introductory ep... never knew it was THIS good!!! the end was just LOL |
| Give it a shot. |
 |
| This was pretty interesting, I must say. I wasn’t expecting it to be as entertaining as it was. I like it quite a lot. Kotetsu is such an endearing man. I think I felt something inside me break when the kid gave him his Wild Tiger card with a smile… only to say he was a Sky-High fan and he didn’t need it; I almost heard the sound of hopes being crushed. I also enjoyed the big irony about being a Hero in this capitalist market. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| This was kinda fun :) Not bad at all :) |
| It was funny, spunky, lovely animation and color plus artwork, loving the superheroes, and I honestly didn't start watching this because 'Whhhhhhhat? The product placement is going to ruin it all!'. But, like other people said, it wasn't overly annoying or in-your-face. And, Blue Rose's insert song sounds nice already - I'll need to find it. Anyways, definitely going to continue this c': |
