I feel the same way. Heroman also looks like a robot boss from megaman. xD

Heroman, Heroman... How many times do we have to hear it during the episode! It's cheesy, it's not original but still it looks sexy, basically 24 minutes of eye candy.

BTW I can't stand american cartoon. (Only exceptions... GI-Joe and Transformers Generation 1, yup I'm old)

oops wrong show :P

Its a fun show, although hearing "Heroman" for the nth time is annoying (if Joey's voice was more manly I wouldn't have minded that).

I'm a bit disappointed that Joey so easily killed the aliens... even if they ARE out to destroy the Earth (i.e. in anime terms "instantly evil"), they are still living beings. I know it's a kid's show and everything, but I would have liked some sort of ambivalence on Joey's part over their deaths. Then again, this anime seems to be painting the Skrugg (?) as one-dimensional, so.

Eh, hearing a man's voice repeating "Heroman" is even worse.

Anyway, I had too much fun when the Skrugg pressed the button to speak Japanese. Moe alien is moe.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. No amount of pretty colors and moe Joey can make up for how lame this episode was. Just...the way people reacted to the alien invasion, the general stupidity of the cast, Joey being a "hero", the lulzy appearance of the aliens (giant beetles with Sharingan?)...no. I'm out. Dropping this one.

I've been surprised with how the creators have been pretty accurate with the american setting, but they are missing a few things.

1. This is south/central california, there shouldn't be a white person in sight.
2. The students are far too respectful/attentive in class
3. The police are giving warnings rather than shooting on sight
4. That crowd of people watching would have ALL been packing heat, and firing on the aliens before the cops even arrived.

perhaps a TTGL ripoff in terms of epicness.


Nothing can be compared to TTGL's Epicness ..

Silly ttgl fags. Ttgl's epicness has been recreated numerous times years before it. And stop ruining Heroman's threads. Joey won't be happy.

I think you should be familiar with the name Getter Robo at least, as TTGL's director was a fan of it and had a large influence on the series.

But yeah, it would be kinda ignorant, that's why it's sometimes better not to talk when you're not sure of something. You can forget about Demonbane since it's some shitty eroge or something.

But seriously, all I want is that people stop bringing up TTGL in here. Both Heroman and TTGL don't have much in common.

Heroman is a remote controlled robot very much like Giant Robo and Tetsujin 28th.

Yo, when I mentioned it being more epic in scale, I only meant to compare it to TTGL and Heroman and that's all.

You wanted to prove a point to the TTGL fags. So yeah, you did.

I don't care about Heroman being barely similar to TTGL since a lot of mecha animu can be compared anyway. It's very obvious. Although I have it on my favorite list, I know damn well it's not original.

Just because a lof of them are comparable doesn't mean that heroman and ttgl are. How about we discuss the show based on its own merits instead of comparing?

Though this episode was, as MANY others have already pointed out, cheesy....and it still screams "AMERICA!!!" in my face with every frame....and I have a headache from the massive overuse of "Heroman"....it's still Stan Lee...it's still Bones...the story, though simple, is mildly entertaining...the animation is smooth and pleasing...and the music is amazing!!! So I'll continue watching this and hope that there is a bit more development over the coming episodes. Till next episode (^_^)

i honestly felt that i was going to be alone in loving this show.
regardless of how cheesy it is, and how it's more or less just "punch shit in the face until it goes away"... i think it is phenomenal. this is definitely in the running for being my favorite anime of the season. i was a comic book nerd long before i ever discovered anime, and the things that got me into comics in the early 90's were the superhero cartoons i watched on saturday mornings. things like teenage mutant ninja turtles, spider-man, batman, and transformers. this series brings so much to the plate in terms of pure nostalgia for me, and everything about it is unmistakeably the work of stan lee.
haters gonna hate, but if you ever really loved marvel as a kid, and love anime now... this show is fantastic. it has the best of both worlds. i am very much looking forward to more.

This is starting to get on my nerves, mainly for all the unironic cheesiness and genericness, as well as that the characters are beginning to look very one-dimensional.

Also, love the ending: "You saved my sister's life, so I still hate you for no particular reason!"

EDIT: Also, needs moar coffee.

I'm hoping Japan is using this as a "we can get kids to watch cartoons again" type of anime. I get that type of air from it.

What I want to know is if anime fans would give this show a chance if it WASN'T anime? I probably would since it reminds me a lot of Static Shock.

If you people are so sick of Joey saying "Heroman," than it's like you haven't seen any other animes. There's alwayss a name that is called frequently through an anime series (mostly a girl yelling out a boys name 24/7). Anyways, suck it up and just enjoy.


About this episode, like the first, I give it a full 5. Pure epicness, and I didn't think that it was cheesy at all. (You people really should stop saying it is.) I mean, there's a lot of other animes which are cheesier, yet those animes are sometimes really popular. In all, I hope the action continues <3

and since an american wrote the story, it seems like it wont get any better.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

i want to know that too.


just saying that i think the original author or whatever
could be thinking only about the typical american superhero story, since he is american.
that obviously doesnt seem to work too well, so i dont think this anime can develop sometime in the near future

For some reason I find this unwatchable... I tried to give it a chance, I never like judging an anime harshly but gosh not this time. I really can't bare watching it, it is painful and feels like a total time waste! I'll drop it now and I still regret the time I wasted for it even writing this... whatever.... i really tried i promise.. gomenasai..

I just saw the episode and I can say I loved it. Love the kind of dramatic approach and the massive world elemination. I must say two things frustrate me:

I did first saw this anime when sawing Joey in shota mode:P Cute men:D Hihi xD

Weird though, Japanese cartoon based in America.

Onto the episode well: CHEESY, LAME, STUPID.
The cockroach aliens have PINK wands XD
Worst of all the UFO looks lameeee.
Lina is annoying but hot <--- only good thing besides the animation and music.
I wish Joey stops shouting HEROMAN, it so LAME TOO -_____________-
Plus its "Too American", doesn't go well with Japanese i think...
All in all i might have loved this if i was 10 years old...

Not sure if want to drop or not...

I almost feel as though this is mocking a stereotypical 1980's, 1990's style American superhero. I mean, they got the cheesy "roachmen," the transforming, and a robot that clearly has colors and design of the United States' flag. And if that isn't enough, what about the Japanese cheerleaders that are spelling out "VICTORY" in English. All in all, I'm up for a marathon!
