Heroman 26, the big crash-bang finale, has plenty of action and light shows but, sadly, it took so much time making its point that at times the episode dragged. It looks bleak. Heroman's got a huge hole in him and isn't moving. Kogorr moves to kill Joey but Will gets in the way and makes … Continue reading Heroman 26 – Finale
The pentultimate episode of Heroman is called “Crisis,” and like any good action series it gets to that crisis with an entertaining battle. Joey, Heroman and Will (whom they find and rescue) work to get closer to the big plant thing and Kogorr, who seems half stuck in it. It's fun enough as they manage … Continue reading Heroman 25, Amagami 12
After a splendid opening to this story arc Heroman 24 gets down to business: getting Joey and Heroman to the White House, or what's left of it, to defeat whatever the hell it is. The fights are routine. The Skruggs (and everyone's shocked when they appear, as if they couldn't figure out who their enemy … Continue reading Heroman 24, Amagami 11

Heroman 22 works as a more mature episode until a maudlin ending and the inevitable cliffhanger knocks it off the rails, but mostly it worked. We start with Joey mulling over his late father, and we get a flashback of the man dying heroically while rescuing fellow miners from a fire. Joey was way too … Continue reading Heroman 22, Yumeiro 46
Heroman 21 sort of concludes the missing persons arc, that is to say, the missing persons are safely recovered, but it leads to other questions, like where is that other Skrugg? But in terms of character the episode is mainly about Joey. Tracing Denton's soil samples Hughes knows that the Skrugg is holed up in … Continue reading 21’s: Heroman, Maid-Sama
Heroman 20 is an annoying one. People in Central City are being abducted, along with cows. Naturally Dr. Denton is on the case, wasting Joey and Psy's time, until he vanishes, too. Then Holly decides to join in the investigation. The first half of the show is a waste of time. Holly drags Joey and … Continue reading 20’s: Heroman, Maid-Sama
