Slow Start, Good Finish

By DarkZestal on Aug 14, 2011 - See all reviews by DarkZestal

Starts off a bit slow, but I found myself really getting into by the end.

If I wasn't a fan of Anime made by Bones, I probably wouldn't have finished it, but I'm glad I did.

By the end it was mostly the characters that kept me hanging, more than the storyline.

This show almost lost me.

By ZachZag on May 16, 2011 - See all reviews by ZachZag

If you are watching the first half and you are wondering when the pain will stop, well it did for me.

I was watching this and I could not find myself to enjoy it at all. I'm glad I set it down and let the episodes build up because I do not think I would have liked this at all if I could not watch it in bulk.

But Joey did deliver for me in the end. He mans up during the anime and as far ...

But Joey did deliver for me in the end. He mans up during the anime and as far trying to be a hero goes I think it works.

The next great SuperHero

You we all know the superheros of America. Superman, batman, Ironman, the incredible hulk, but now we are introduced to "HeroMan". If you know and love Stan Lee, creator of Iron man, The Fantastic Four, and The Incredible Hulk, you will love his next creation of Heroman.

You we all know the superheros of America. Superman, batman, Ironman, the incredible hulk, but now we are introduced to "HeroMan". If you know and love Stan Lee, creator of Iron man, The Fantastic Four, and The Incredible Hulk, you will love his next creation of Heroman. Heroman was once a toy robot but thanks to a storm caused by aliens, Heroman is struck by lightning and becomes the new hero of America. Joey Jones and Heroman stand together as they battle aliens, a mad scientist, and a enemy only they can stand to defeat. Heroman is an anime all superhero fans should watch as well as fans of pure action and sci-fi.

Decent children anime

By ajohn483 on Oct 24, 2010 - See all reviews by ajohn483

Honestly, I think the only reason why I finish the anime is because I was hoping the storyline would have expanded more from the original idea. And even though, they went back to original story arc, it ended so crappy I couldn't enjoy it. I believe it has potential.

Honestly, I think the only reason why I finish the anime is because I was hoping the storyline would have expanded more from the original idea. And even though, they went back to original story arc, it ended so crappy I couldn't enjoy it. I believe it has potential. It was originally created by Stan Lee I believe (who makes a cameo all over the anime), it had Aliens, a silent but strong main character and yet it still found a way to still suck. Like it literally had like 5 story arc where everyone span for 3 episodes. They introduce this "Red angry mode" for Heroman but never explain it or bring it back. Well, take that back, they sort of bringing it back and let Joey do something because issue "commands" actually fight (and show he is pretty powerful) and then take it away because of some stupid reason. Then he goes back to his useless self once more. The idea it is in USA is nice and they do capture American lifestyles pretty well but there are a lot of useless characters and a lot of annoying females characters who only hinder the Joey from doing what he needs to do. No one does anything besides Heroman and personally I believe Heroman doesn't even need Joey but the fact that they drag another 4 more character who just get in the way is annoying. I recommend watching it because the drawing is good and the fighting is ok. Otherwise, skipping this isn't a bad idea.

An exceptional anime for the kid in all of us.

By Paxtin on Oct 12, 2010 - See all reviews by Paxtin

Heroman speaks to that little kid that we all were at one time who daydreamed of being a superhero. This anime is just a joy to watch. While the story and plot may be very campy, it is handled rather well by it's cast of likable characters. Even some charm can be found in the eccentric villain Dr Minami.

Heroman speaks to that little kid that we all were at one time who daydreamed of being a superhero. This anime is just a joy to watch. While the story and plot may be very campy, it is handled rather well by it's cast of likable characters. Even some charm can be found in the eccentric villain Dr Minami.
Some people may wonder why the title character Heroman seems to get so little actual characterization, but the truth of it all is the star of the show is really Joey. One might hypothesize that the character of Heroman is merely the extension of Joey's own will to be a hero. Something the character, being a small shy boy, had suppressed till the faithful night "Heroman" came to be.

The feeling of the show has a blend of both Japanese manga and Western comics, which may not be too surprising given the show was co created by Stan Lee of Marvel fame, who's likeness makes several cameos throughout the show, almost to the point of being an actual cast character.
The animation is topnotch, as well as the musical score. It all does a very good job to make Heroman a show that is very enjoyable to watch. I'd highly recommend this to any anime fan who is still a kid at heart.

I believe this is worth watching.

By pockeyfox on Sep 25, 2010 - See all reviews by pockeyfox

Although Stan Lee has been the kind of guy where you have to stick through to the very end to see the best of his work, this is still a good show. Take this series for what it's worth, and not what you think it is trying to be.

I believe that this is a good anime to start people out on if they don't really have any experience with anything serious.

Still worth watching because it gets way ...

I have mixed feelings for this show...

By animeAnalyn on Aug 31, 2010 - See all reviews by animeAnalyn

I like this anime. The animation is really good, I like the choice of characters, and I like the action. Unfortunately, for me, it's all for the kids. As a teenager, I expect more gruesome action and more intense romance. But that's just me. I only watched up to episode 4, so don't rely on this review.

I like this anime. The animation is really good, I like the choice of characters, and I like the action. Unfortunately, for me, it's all for the kids. As a teenager, I expect more gruesome action and more intense romance. But that's just me. I only watched up to episode 4, so don't rely on this review. All that I didn't like is how the plot is so... cliche. Why aliens? And a robot? At least the alien isn't some deformed, anorexic, big headed being with big eyes and green skin. But it looks like a cockroach... I REALLY hate cockroaches.

Also, I feel sorry for Joey. I -- and pretty much everyone who watched the show -- thought he was a girl. That would be interesting, though, with Psy being his best friend. Actually, it might have been better if he was, or he was going to reveal he is a girl, which is highly doubted. It MIGHT have though. Addition to that, what is up with the Psy's hair?!

So far this is a good anime but with time I hope it gets better

By Anewlight on Apr 24, 2010 - See all reviews by Anewlight

Okay, I have watched 4 episodes of Heroman and so far I really like it. What i like about it is how the story gets progressing. It definitely has Stan Lee touch to it. I have to say this. I am a huge fan of Stan Lee so that is a plus. Anyways, the only thing I don't get is why aliens always have to invade America first. I do like the characters so far but the main character is a little on the soft ...

Okay, I have watched 4 episodes of Heroman and so far I really like it. What i like about it is how the story gets progressing. It definitely has Stan Lee touch to it. I have to say this. I am a huge fan of Stan Lee so that is a plus. Anyways, the only thing I don't get is why aliens always have to invade America first. I do like the characters so far but the main character is a little on the soft side right now. I guess with time he will learn all of Heroman's powers and they will be a unstoppable foe. What I wonder on the big factor is how slow or fast are they going to progress the story and how many episodes will this anime be. I guess we will have to see. Right now it is good and I really hope it gets even better. I am looking forward to the next episode. Long Live Stan Lee.

Not great, but definitely not bad!

first things first...this is more of a kids show. do not go into this thinking that just because Stan Lee is involved, it's going to be complex. it's not. what it is, though, is a show about a kid, a robot, and the aliens they fight. overall, it IS a simple, kid-friendly, Digi-Mon esque kind of Anime, with all the tropes you need for a Saturday morning cartoon...but overall, i like it. what can i ...

An Excellet Show - reminds me of Anime classics

By narutoan on Apr 10, 2010 - See all reviews by narutoan

This is actually an excellent show.

The storyline reminds me of the old days when the country and kids were looking for a hero like: GiGANTOR and Tobor the 8th Man.

This show is actually better than both. Joey even though he saved Lina with Heroman is still despised by Lina's brother. Maybe, just maybe after they save the world he "may" lighten up.

CR you have another good pick here. ...
