Stan Lee and Heroman

I'm not seeing much press about this series, but I am personally curious about the upcoming Heroman anime. The original story was created by Stan Lee1, and I'd like to try out his take on the "Boy discovers/builds a giant robot" genre. I was going to pick up the manga to check it out, but now I'd rather see the anime; BONES' work on it looks pretty slick as usual, as can be seen in the trailer floating around:

I'll probably give the first episode a look (as with several of the other anime series coming out this season).

UPDATE: Looks like Heroman will be simulcast by Crunchyroll an hour after the Japanese premiere. Too bad there won't be any easy way for me to watch that simulcast on my main TV2; I'd be open to paying for a premium subscription if I could do so.

  1. 1. for those that don't know and too lazy to click on Stan Lee's name to go to his Wikipedia page, the one of the original co-creators of Marvel titles like Spiderman or the X-Men
  2. 2. Unless I setup my system on the front TV, or until the Popbox comes out (which is supposedly partnered with Crunchyroll)...

That guy looks like a girl.

Well, it is anime!

Alternately, it does take place on the "West Coast, United States".

Alternate alternately (to steal a phrase from a friend), "DAMN YOU ZAC EFRON!"
