Watching Heroes from the beginning is a must. Heroes is certainly not episodic enough for somebody to just jump right in. Especially at this point in the series. |

One thing that I like about Hiro and Ando is that they let them speak freakin Japanese! It really makes me believe that he's from Japan and traveling in a foeign country. I also like Future Hiro also, I'm really interested in how his character gets to that point. Also I've always been a BIG fan of Ali Larter  .
Oh don't tease me......but then again I can dream right? I mean there is going to be a Welcome to the NBC coming soon. |

Masi Oka seems like a cool guy. Doesn't he have a really high IQ?

Well, I already knew it wasn't episodic in the first place, so yeah, I'd say for sure you'd need to start from the beginning.  Guess it's over to NBC.com for me!

It's strange... when he smiles he kinda looks like my boyfriend but a little geekier
 and a slightly pointier chin

yes! I was happy that they kept their language in the show. spoiler[things are gonna get whoa since he's now met his future self in the last episode] Its good to have a fellow fan at the top and yes i do want an welcome to the NBC! Plus what if they do a small aime parody in heroes...that would be funny. It would of also been cool if issak drew his comic art in manga form. badassary! also this is the first time i found other anime fans into heroes besides a few of my friends. at school some people wont give it a chance or those who do like american comics most or is watching 24 at the time and miss it.

I think I heard that the Season 1 DVD was supposed to come out in just about 2 months. I'm definitely getting it since I don't have time or the convenience of sitting down and catching it on it's air times.

Well NBC streams Heroes on their website too. Last I knew they had the full season, if you don't want to wait. It's how I watch it just because I work Monday nights. I would only be happier if it were on On Demand. |

So they say. He did a lot of behind-the-scenes work before acting too. Stuff like CGI water effects in the past 3 Star Wars movies, among other CGI work. Wrote his own software too I think. |

I have never ever watched this show, but a few weeks ago a customer at work said to me, "you look a little like that Asian guy from Heroes." Is that a good or bad thing
? I'm just an Asian guy with glasses. But maybe Asian guys with glasses that seem kind of nerdy all feel the same ?

some Americans can't differentiate Asians. Many Asians look the same to them. (note: i mean some not all) |

Oh, so Mazinger Z toys were shown on Heroes spoiler[when Hiro froze time to save a girl from being hit by a car], I've been wondering were those Mazinger Z toys when I first saw that episode.

Yeah, and any manga-ish drawings made in the 90's were instantly Sailor Moon. Haha, people need to know that there's a difference between one person and the next, no matter what the ethnicity. But if you look like the guy, as the customer stated, try to sneak on the set! Maybe they'll give you money for being a stunt double! That would be awesome!
But that's okay... some people can't tell the difference between Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, and even other ethnicities beyond that. I've never watched Heroes either, I'm eager to see it

I totally love Heroes, and the anime/manga geekery has made me squeal. And yeah, total amounts of JoJo nods in there.

Heroes is what Lost could of become, basically Heroes is done by one of writers of Lost who left around season 2.....so that's why Heroes equals amazing and Lost equals well I'll let you finish that. As for looking like Hiro (on Heroes) if your a shorter Asian Male with chubby cheeks (with glasses) then maybe. Really it comes down to the type of glasses, because if you have same type I am sure it's more of that then anything in reality. |
