Now that's interesting! I am looking forward to a mixture of Western and Eastern elements although the storyline sounds horribly, horribly unoriginal xD

But with mechs involved, it cannot be that bad.

Sounds eerily familiar (scroll down to the Wednesday 26th March entry).

Boy, what a treat. Very Happy Studio Bones and Stan Lee; 2 things I absolutely love within the animation world. Unfortunately it sounds to me from what a lot of you have said about Lee's latest works, it's probably not all that great. Sad

But boy, considering both this and his working with Hiroyuki Tekai, it sounds to me like he just wants to do stories these days. Too old for art I guess.

Stan Lee is good in my books, but how is he gonna pull of a concept like that?

Hero man??? Sounds a bit tacky but I guess Spider Man, Super Man would at first when it was released.

Hopefully this combination will be good.

Stan Lee has never been famous for art. It's his way with words that made him famous. He's a scriptwriter, not an artist (how much input he had into the stories he's famous for is a whole other argument).

Anyway, this can't be any worse than his last animated project.

Damn, Stan! You're like 150 and you're still at it? I wonder if Stan's the one Who's Gung-ho about still doing comics and entertainment, or is he pushed into it?

Some series in Japan have unoriginal titles too, so a title like "Hero Man" is like normal.

I don't have any idea. But he must be enjoying what he is doing. Getting himself involved with other groups to work with, he must still have things left in him for him to keep at it.
