Heroman seems to be completely tailored for the American audience. I could see it doing well over here with the right promotion.

Theron's reviews, Ikki Tousen screenshot: long arm is looooooooong.

That is the weirdest possible dealbreaker ever. Would it help if they were cricket aliens? |

...They are a flamboyant purple. Does that make it better or worse?  I thought they were threatening enough considering Heroman's extreme appearance and our protagonist's stature. (People are already calling him a "reverse trap," pretty much.)

Heroman looks like it could be fun in the same way that something like Digimon is fun. Plus I really like the character designs.

Honestly if it doesn't wind up on DisneyXD I'll be surprised. |

*GASP!!* You mean I might be forced to rewatch what was a marvelously fun (if lightweight) episode? Well, if you say I have to...

Haven't watched Heroman yet, but from all the promotion and design and hoopla I've seen for it, it reminds me very heavily of the Big Guy and Rusty.

Wut? A show all about a girl's quest to jump 100 guys? At least it's not all at the same time, though. Be grateful for small mercies, Zac!
 I'm sure some people will try to pass off B Gata H Kei by saying something like "all teens are horny" or somesuch, but I'm not buying it. Ick.
Heroman sounds like it could be all kinds of awesome, though, and I'm liking the comments about it harking back to a simpler time. Personally, I think the whole uber-gritty thing has been done to death with superhero stories. EDIT (Somewhat OT): And speaking of ickiness, I'm looking forward to the review of Strike Witches. |

Just got through Zac's take on B Gata H Kei:
Burn. I also enjoyed the two-for-one takedown of Chu-Bra in the process. I'd like to say that B Gata H Kei is probably going to be the worst offering of the season, but the Kiss X Sis TV series is out there... I've read reviews here and there but I've never seen Ikkitousen. As usual, the latest round of opinion about it leads me to the belief that it's not worth bothering with. Tenjho Tenge got me to not watch this kind of purported action show altogether quite awhile ago. Like I was saying in its thread, Heroman's got potential and it's certainly well-made. Yet it's way to early to tell whether it'll do something interesting or just stay in very safe territory the whole time. I'm hopeful, though. |

Zac man... you just love torturing yourself during these times of the seasons huh? Also what's the deal with Tim's review on Heroman? We getting a crossover baddie?... Galactus?

Honestly, first time I heard about B Gata H Kei I told myself I had to see it. And judging my Zac's review, since we more often disagree then agree, I may like this. I just hope it gets simulcasted soon or someone licenses it (I may even buy a sub-only
 ).

I read that and thought advisors, as in SHIELD perhaps. But yeah, he probably more likely meant adversary... |

Geh, need shoujo big time after reading these reviews. Kaicho wa Maid-sama aired today didn't it? May it heal the damage done to my eyes, or perhaps it'll make it worse with crappy animation/adaption. I really need to look at the lists of anime this season to see what other shojo titles there are.
