The guy targeting Tony, his name was Sho I think, but does he have any other real relevance to the story and Iron Man in general?

ok episode. Story was generally unremarkable.

Considering how much character built-up they did with him in this episode it will be stupid to just forget him after that. Hope it wasn't just a one episode appearance and did all that for nothing.

The end was kind of exciting there but it felt like something was missing to make this episode really exciting. Actually it felt a little like this was an opening episode of a story involving that Sho guy or something and the way we suddenly reached the end was very anti-climatic.

Ok, how did Iron Man reach space without any other equipments? Wasn't it in episode 5 that he was testing out equipments to reach space and had to use a jet and his special booster to reach orbit? So inconsistent.
And what a lame episode, the virus destroyed itself because of a promise.
At least last part with the new suit was promising.
On to the next episode.

Actually, from the movie Tony was able to modify his suit to go to space, remember when he was testing his suit to go to the upper atmosphere his suit iced up?

So the virus guy died after he destroyed the virus, or he just passed out?

It started interesting with the virus thing, but ended low.

A knew robot guy appeared, wonder who it is...

Yes. Because having to fight a shark in a alternate reality is totally how viruses work.

Thanks Iron Man, never would've realized that beforehand : /

lol. The story was pretty average. Of course we had a mandatory appearance of that guy eating in the reporters car, and in turn the reporter screaming at Tony.

I thought that the general premise was interesting, with the protagonist trapped in his own building. Also, the whole computer virus felt like something from Digimon or Megaman NT Warrior.

The villain felt like the writers were trying to make him sympathetic, but he came too suddenly to leave an impact, and then at the end, if he died, well, thats it for him.

So, yeah, not the best episode.

Okay so I'm not the only one who noticed. First he needs a jet ride, boosters and a special armor coat to get to space, and now he magically needs none of it. Plothole much?

The mech is from the JDSF. I think the pilot guy was supposed to pilot it, so it's probably him that saves Tony. The Shark thing was stupid.

Hmm, a dramatic episode. I don't understand the complaints, this show has been random from the start.

Good story with Sho but I really don't see the point in making a huge plot story for a guy that's only going to be in it for one episode.
Also, how did Iron Man suddenly be able to reach space? A line explaining that he worked on it immediately after episode five would have been nice.

Just. So many things wrong with this episode. *facepalm* Good story so I'll give it a break this time.

The robots looked like Daleks from Doctor Who.
I don't know if I'm enjoying this Iron Man anime, it's so different from the Marvel character.

I like that they let Iron Man not win for once. Kinda neat.

Did the hacker guy not think about his promise to help rather than hurt people when he likely caused multiple traffic deaths? Injuries at the very least.

Very inconsistent and average episode. A shark in an alternate universe? Okay.

This episode is kind of bad, this is another virus, but a computer virus, and most of the episode is CSI levels of dumb cyber hacking...

It's pretty stupid, and kind of similar to the previous episode.
