| Kadokawa's Newtype magazine has confirmed that Stan Lee (Spider-Man and X-Men creator) is working with the animation studio BONES on a new animated television series tentatively called Hero Man. The story will center on a boy named Joey who discovers a toy robot near the west coast of the United States. Then, the toy becomes Hero Man, a giant robot that Joey pilots against evil threats.

| Well I love bones and stan lee is great but I hope theres more to this story |
     |
| Interesting combination. Hope something good turns out (it's Stan Lee and it's Bones after all). Although the short plot line preview sounds so incredibly cliche. But it's obviously the dumbest thing ever to judge something with only 2 lines. |
| I'm very intrigued by the premise of the project. I know what I'm getting from a show produced by BONES, all that's left is how Stan Lee does on his end. |
    |
| oooooh original haha. its the colaboraton that sounds more interesting. stan lee makes some cool stuff so it should be interesting. |
| sounds kinda cliche *is doubtfull* >_> Stan Lee is cool so maby it wont be bad? |
     |
| That's such a pathetic name. D: |
| so... is this mecha? |
 |
| Doesn't he have some project with Hiroyuki Takei as well? Pretty active for an 85-year-old. |
  |
| the premise sounds really pathetic... I was also under the impression that he was working on that other thing... |
 |
| The title sounds like no thought was put into it and the plot sounds very cliche, I guess we'll just have to see how this turns out. |

| It seems he is doing both the manga thing and this anime thing as well. |
|
| For some reason it reminds me of "The Iron Giant". So is this going to be an anime or an american cartoon? |

| Why do most American cartoon names or hero names always have to end with "man"?? Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Ironman or if you like Wonderwoman.Now we have Hero Man...............come on....>_> |
 |
| Sounds like a shitty over done plot line. |

Hero man gets recalled in the series. =P Joking aside, this is very similar to Iron Giant like everyone else said. >_>; I liked that film so I'll keep in mind about this series, but if it ends up too Superhero-y then I'm going to drop it. >_< I didn't like Superhero shows. |
| I'm with the general consensus - while it sounds really lame, given the people involved it could turn out to be pretty great. Some of the best animes I've ever watched sounded ridiculously bad when boiled down to a several line synopsis. |
 |
| I agree with most. Sounds lame. With BONES involved, I'm interested. Although I'm not fond of Stan Lee. |
| It's going to fail they just did it so people would say "oh it's anime it might not fail" |
 |
| oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn Stan Lee x Giant Robots = <3_<3 I'm pumped |
  |
| Being that I'm a huge Stan Lee fangirl, I'll likely check it out. |
  |
| I'm not a giant robot type of person. |

seasaw said: Sounds like the beginning of the end... Yees...i can see it...people who does stupid cartoons will come to Nippon and curse the people who does anime...i'll kill myself ^^ not all american cartoons are bad, kim possible (yes, i know its a kiddie show) is much better than many extremely crappy anime shows i've seen that were intended for the same age range. also there is the possiblity that things will go the other way (ex: avatar), though i do hope that the lolicon stuff never leaves the shores of nippon. btw, i also think that hero man is just a working title and would be shocked if it wasn't changed before the show actually aired. i'm more upset by the idiotic art design of the robot, i'd rather gouge out my eyes than watch a show with that as the hero. unless ofc it was a parody show, then it might be alright... maybe. |
| sound crappy and kiddy but since Stan Lee and BONES is involve, why not so is it going to be in English or Japaneses? <- nvm i saw the spoiler... |
   |
| Hmmmm, This reminded me of Afro Samurai. Mixing elements from US and Japan may not be a good idea. They dont mix well. With Stan Lee, it could be a success like Avatar! But lets see..... |

  |
| BONES! :D |
     |
| Interesting. No, I'm not talking about the name. |

| I don't know karate, but I know karazy |
| Good old Stan "The Man" Lee, for a guy whose turning 86 at the end of this year he's still got a lot going on in that head of his! |
