Review: Heroman Episode 1

A boy and his pet giant robot, now where's the chocolate?
Heroman is the anime that Stan Lee teamed with BONES to do and it definitely has Stan Lee’s ink stained fingerprints all over it. This is a show that is bucking for Saturday morning and a toy line, possibly brought to you by 4Kids. Having said that, I’m still debating whether or not I like the show or not. It has a feel of the kind of Americanized anime that has become popular, and it also has a feeling that reminds very much of 70s and 80s giant robot shows that lends it a unique charm if you’re looking for retro giant robots. But the charm isn’t quite enough to erase the face that the giant mecha genre has come a long way since Voltron and Transformers.
