The funny thing about the episode is the Skruggs created the only weapon on earth that could stop them. I've never met such a bungling race of aliens. At least in independence day, they had to use a mac to upload a virus into the mother ship, but this is just too funny. Talk about irony.

Suddenly I realized Heroman's toy form head could be a homage to the Fantastic Four robot HERBIE.

Spoiler for HERBIE:


In the '78 cartoon instead of Jonny Storm the Human Torch the fourth member was a robot.

You forgot levers! Sometimes there's levers!

But I kinda get what others are saying...maybe for them it's more exciting when you're actually in the pilots seat spouting pseudo philosophies instead of outside giving it commands on an iGlove.

I think Joey will be more useful as the story goes on. If this follows typical boy adventure themes, he'll start out as the school wimp and end up growing up a bit...through giant robots and aliens destroying half the planet. ^^

Again I already think Joey probably has superhuman powers from hints in the last episdoe or that arm band gives him some powers that he doesn't know how to use yet so we'll see how that plays out.

I concur, i think Joey's character development could be based of the fact that "controlling" Heroman he becomes the "Hero". So far I'm looking forward to it. (Slightly biased because it's BONES and i love them, I've loved most of there shows-LOL).

My brother in all his wisdom said a joke that I'm not sure if somebody here mentioned already, but

"You can't even nuke [the cockroaches in this series]"

Is anyone bothered by how much of a girl Joey looks like? I've just downloaded episode 1 and I'm constantly ticked off by his girly look. Is this a girl or a boy? girl or boy?......

I think just about everyone has had a similar reaction. I for one don't understand why (his? ) hair couldn't be shorter at least, because that face is pretty much a carbon copy of Lina's face

Pretend he's a girl and imagine the yuri!

As for his power the fact that he didn't die when heroman made that 5 story jump in ep1 with him still on its back should prove that he is at least made more durable.

Not really, I have a friend who some people think looks like a girl and we laugh our heads off at him. His character design reminds me of a longer haired blond Renton.

Question one...

Do you ship LinaxJoey?

Question two...

Do you prefer yuri or het?

Question Three

Rinse and repeat step 1-2 but replace Lina with Stan Lee.

Question Four
Do you prefer LinaxJoey or JoeyxStan Lee

Depending on your answer to question four, the gender of Joey in the relationship of your choosing is now his official gender. (Yes, there are JoeyxStan Lee pics)

BTW, Stan Lee is a meme now.

Spoiler for Only links that worked on this site.:

But he's an All-American trap. Official Trap of the US of A.

Or could it be it's a first day at work thing where this extremely attractive seiyu failed miserably on a more masculine voice and so we resulted in a effeminate?


Spoiler for Lina is even hotter:


That said for Masculine Joey, I'd have pick Rie Kugimiya.

Incidentally, I tried searching up ヒーローマン 百合 (Heroman yuri) on pixiv.

Didn't work.

Danbooru is getting confused though. Joey gets the 'androgynous' tag.

Wasn't it meant to be this way? If the author wanted to make Joey your Rambo in a teen suit, they'd use the classic spikey-haired jeans-and-jacket figure.

Too many high school shows that cast 25yr+ actors as 16 year olds

Oh, be open minded. Gender doesn't matter as time goes by. Men turn more and more feminine and women become more and more feminists (yikes!)

I don't think there is replay value in this series from what I see so far. It is funny to watch once, especially now that it is a poor anime season. Unless it reaches Tengen Toppa levels later on and people don't keep comparing it with that all the time, lol.

But seriously, where is a hard boiled Kamina to keep us cheering? The lead is a pu**y.

Once Psy fully recover I expect him to fill that roll.

Episode 2, was great. in western sense I got the idea of Hulk and Rick Jones. But I wonder if maybe at some point Heroman will open up and can be controlled from the inside, that would be interesting. Unlike Spider-Man, it seems all of Joey's friends and (some of his enemies) already know about Heroman.
