Good. Finally real Bones stuff.
Funny how you put Heroman as if it were one of Bones best examples of its awesomess. I will take as it being there just for being new John othewrwise I would doubt you have watched the series. On second thought guess you only watch first episodes of most (All?) series as you have metiones multiple times so wont be too hard.
Anyway at least for me Heroman is not sexy, I dont like this kind of Americanized anime, but guess the target audience are not Japanese this time so no big deal. It will probably work for you USA-Americans.
Great *rolls eyes*; another mecha show. Theres something original.
If you cant think of a story just make the typical “mecha story, just add water” and you’ve got a whole series…
What matters is the execution Yuki, or are suggesting we should have had one soccer series, one mecha series, one boxing series and so on? Good thing you most likely dont run or have any relation with this business then, anime would be done for and dead then before I was even born.
And when you have Bones behind the series you can expect something really good particularly if its original. I will take that hopefully you are just using a play on words and actually knows what “original” refers to here Yuki.
@chise
Well you don’t have to put it down to genre do you? Whats stopping it from being Mecha and Boxing together, huh? Now there’s a hit show! …
Execution alone can’t save a series, just look at Code Geass.
Look at the image. Character looks like he’s wearing some kind of uniform?
Let me guess “school kid” saves world with giant robot. That’s how they execute it.
The “X” shaped light coming from his chest. Man they’re not even trying with this one…
Well even without me in the business looks like anime is having trouble so ah.. can’t blame me for that one Chise.
Ok, so I’m half kidding around but you gotta understand where I’m coming from.
Chise, I credited BONES with FMA and Heroman because those are the studio’s two current productions.
Actually, I have watched all of Heroman up to date, but even if I am a “USA-American,” even I recognize that the show has some serious weaknesses.
