That felt more like a Japanese thing to me.
My relatives in Hawaii use hand grass clippers on their lawns all the time. But the way he was using it seemed kind of ridiculous. And I can't think of anyone I know in Southern California that uses grass clippers that way. The grass generally doesn't grow very fast in Southern California anyway because we don't get as much rain. |

the huge tower in this series remind me of teperin in gurren lagann. Though kamina and simon is lot more cooler than a girly face joey. And the beast men vs cockroach.
It just feels like their are similarities to gurren lagann but the studio are different though. |

I think it is more then just push a button as HM keeps looking towards Joey for a command. I think that interface is just something that HM came up with, that Joey would feel comfortable with (since he has seen HM adverts). Makes more sense then Joey suddenly becoming an ace mech pilot

But it's not those areas that bothers me, it's.... fashion. I mean come on man, considering what the girls were wearing, it's obvious it's hot out. And in LA, nobody wears hoodies, long sleeves and sweaters in broad daylight like that, so why in the world is a majority of the students at the school in WCC wearing sweaters and what not's? Seriously, Will is like the only one who's human, actually wearing a shirt. And Psy? Come on man, vests are like for ski resorts What the heck, it was nice to see LA again in an anime. Quote:

That's true, but the difference is that skills are involved to pilot a mech (well, most of them). Here, all Joey has to do is push one button and scream "HEROOOOOOMAAAAAN" for his robot to start kicking ass. So far Heroman is more of a pokemon than anything. It makes Joey seem less involved in the fights, somehow. It kind of seem like anyone else could do it, though I think there is something more to Joey. When he talked about how he also has the "power" inside him and started running toward the aliens, I thought he was going to fight one of them bare handed (wrong show...)

Well there's quite a lot of shows where the main character controls a powerful mech just by shouting or pushing a button (the amazing Giant Robo for example). Personally i just don't see what's wrong with that.

Guess what I thought when Joey mentioned about the power inside him? I was expecting him to say "I HAVE THE POOOOWEEEERRR!" |

Also for fun and episode 2, I put American pledge of allegiance through babelfish a couple of times (english to Japanese, Japanese to English). Here's what came out... "{I loyalty, freedom and justice and this average, completely, the impossible citizen who that is divided because of 帖 republic and one American flag" Who loves their gratuitous foreign languages? Try pronouncing this out to the American flag. "Dat of qu' en precies Of dit of gelovig of the van of liberamente en of betekent; ; the van de of het of onderzoekt de of democratie of basissen of vlagburger Of amerikaanse of nationale of waterscheidingen of the van de of simultanéement of onmogelijke en of volledig of van de" Last edited by NinjaYali; 2010-04-09 at 06:06. |

pushing a button, then shouting the name heroman!!!. Reminds me of an anime before that's been theme of 4 wheel cars. Where the owner runs together with their tamiya and even the cars..... that should be 4 wheel without remote had their own will and fly like a tornado.
But really Joey besides looks a lot like girl the mech itself looks lame to me. Their are lots of things to notice in the show and I wish it turn for the better. And him running their that ends with just pushing the button really irritates me. But him saving or catching the girl looks good but he should really just stay back. I know he got a force field barrier thanks to being the one who controls it but his a hindrance to the fight if all he would do is push a button then shout HEROMAN! though I think he didn't even need to shout. Or its just that its been decided that you always needs to shout despite the needed to shout. He could probably help more if he didn't run and just stay with the doctor and the girl side. And use his forcefield to shield them but instead he run! GO HERRRRRRRRMAN! |

I wouldn't mind the whole button pushing thing if he had to actually choose the damn button, but right now he's doing a job then any freaking monkey could pull off..."Ok now Bobo when you see the button light up hit it k?" *facepalm*
Ah well hoping the action gets alittle bit more depth later...

Could it be a physical manifestation of Joey's inner hero? Who knows, but I still think it is a little more plausible (yeah I know the show is implausible) then a kid suddenly becoming a ace mech pilot. That plot device has always irritated me far more then the shouting a spinning disk or toy car to control it

I can't call a guy ace mech pilot if all he got to do is push a shinning button and shout (even not needed) HEROMAN!!!
I'm watching this due to great animation and I like the girl and drawings but really joey=girl=trap. |
