Ok... Just how the f does that ear piece of Joey say attached? The way he did it it's as if it's a magnet and his skull is made of iron.

Superglue.

I mean it's a world crisis... You can worry about the pain of removing it later assuming the world isn't destroyed by aliens.

Trying to bring logic into Heroman? I thought you knew better than that by now

I did, the animator for that part probably forgot that english books don't flip that way. Mandarin and by extension Japanese goes both ways.

What a fantastic episode,

Spoiler for 22:

Can't wait for next weeks, but then. I also can because I know the quicker it comes, the quicker it'll be over, nooo!

Well to be fair Psy attacked first and started the fight

. It was a trap they set after all. I just wonder about the thinking of the characters in general. It took until this episode to figure out that Will wasn't a bad guy. Really the group has tried to limit Lina's involvement in things from the start during the Skrugg invasion even though Denton and Psy are hardly going to be much more useful in a fight. Hand Lina an Anti-Skrugg guitar and she equals Psy's combat level

. Probably was more about the desire to protect Lina, but think she still should have been told the truth before hearing it from another source.

Mr. DJ · 2010-09-05, 01:07

I wouldn't say she'd equal Psy's combat level

he has more mobility due to his apparent all-terrain 2-wheeler ;p

Unless Lina is secretly lifting weights and does kickboxing, she isn't an equal to Psy on a combat level.

Her brother the siscon also told her not to associate with Joey and that he won't be returning. In that scenario, the last thing I would do is to tell my bf I don't want to see you now. I'd want to hear the other side of the story.

Crontica · 2010-09-06, 09:51

Nah Lina's course of action was correct, she just picked a very bad time in telling him to buzz off, and now it looks like she's rushing towards somewhere in another plot twist.

Gah i just hate her cheerleading outfit, she should wear her nightgown more often. ( > <)

Episode 23 was pretty cool, Body armor for a robot, interesting idea, kind of the same concepts as the

Spoiler for It's been out awhile but just to be courtious:

Huh, a hidden bunker under the whitehouse, that even the president doesn't know about what goes on. Interesting idea.

JBourque · 2010-09-09, 09:16

I think the "full armor" concept has been around a long time, certainly since early original series Gundam model kits.

This isn't an episode review, but I blogged about the series here:

Yeahhh Joey's life beyond this point is wrecked, that or he will have to live in a NIA compound to avoid scrutiny.

Shiroth Beautiful fighter. Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: England, UK Age: 37	Spoiler for Episode 23: Decent episode. Basically your calm before the storm set-up, as we lead unto the final arc. No surprise that all the events so far are all to do with the return of the Skrugg, though this series has never been one for surprises. Do like that they're planning to bring back the big bad Skrugg boss, because i knew he'd be perfect end boss material. Anyone wanna take a guess at one Joey said to Lina right at the end? Heroman's new battle armor looks pretty damn cool, i have to admit. Looking forward to seeing this new ability. __________________ MyAnimeList Twitter

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	Spoiler for Ep23: If they damaged Will's cool hat I can say that it's on . That's a nice hat . Kind of funny how Will went from a character I hated with a passion to a pretty likable one. Guess turning into a monster is good for sympathy points. I'm pretty happy that Lina did get to throw the information Will told her at Joey. That group has been hiding a lot from her and not trusting her. Of course she might be upset, but it's her brother. No matter the intentions she was bound to be hurt when told. I'm sure it didn't exactly help with Joey's probable confession. A good call to make this final few episodes related to the skrugg. They were always a good villain group. __________________ Anime-Evo Last edited by FlareKnight; 2010-09-04 at 23:26.

Kanon Kana Hanazawa ♥ Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: France Age: 37	Spoiler for 24: Well, not much to say. That was an action-packed episode. Joey's identity was exposed to the world thanks the stupid reporters, too bad we most likely won't see what kind of impact this will have on his life. I loved Holly's reaction when she found about Joey's involvement. __________________
