THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I have awaited this arc since the promo trailer and the start doesn't disappoint. And it is quite interesting to see that an anti-hero joins the storyline (ok, it is just Will who trie to be badass but still...).

Another good episode....seemed like this episode had a different visual approach than previous episodes, could just be me.

I was afraid they were going to forget about Joey and Lina's relationship, but it looks like the next episode will cure that.

The problem is not that he destroys the remains. It seems that the problem is that he doesn't mind creating victims along the way.

In other words, he is an Antihero: he does what is right but at the same time he doesn't.

Yes, I noticed that as well. And it worked for me! I loved the way in which they handled the episode. The masked man being Will was predictable, but they handled it well.

I'm not sure I want another beach episode, but then again, I love fanservice. :P

Well, I enjoyed this one as usual. We got another gif-able Holly scene (which I'm requesting), which is good. Also, it's nice to see that Will isn't a true villain, I think. Overall, this episode was good for plot, but not necessarily very exciting.
And woohoo, a beach service episode, with tentacles. Though I bet they're not going to do that sort of thing...

I think it would be illogical that Will would become a true villain unless he was mind controlled again. My guess would be that they can trace the remnants of their technology hence he wants to save Earth by destroying it all? Catch is that he didn't explain though. Oh, and it was nice to see Heroman 'lose' to somebody for a change.

Finally Collins discovers Heroman at the end there. Yay! (Hater of secret identities)

Once again, Heroman appear to be some sort of missing link in japanimation.

Simple plot, but well-handed. There's nothing flashy in this episode, a basic, previsible plot twist that doesn't even try to look better it actually is. It takes less than one minute for Joey to identify Will, no need for tenth of episode for that. If Will would have suddenly dropped his revealing his double geass, i would just have dropped the serie immediatly.
This isn't previsible because the plot is weak, it is because this scene doesn't come out of nowhere. This is actually how a story is written.

This is Heroman, there's nothing more to be expected. Just shut your brain off and watch.

Heh I wondered what happend to Will boy, If heroman stuck out as a sore thumb and got so much attention, I woundered about Will. My guess is he was injured right, he needed treatment, he found other scrugg equipment and secret organizations fiddling with them, something something my mind is trailing off now. But Its good to see him again, the darknight is a good charachter development.

When the teacher showed up I figured she was going to find out, how else would we to see her out side of 5 sec class time. The next ep looks fun, and more joey and lina development, also seriously that very last part of the preview cracked me up.

Will became awesome after his training/soul searching/darkness powerup something. That claw was something else, though only hitting Psy's guitar was lame. I thought for a second that Psy will spurt out blood because those claw traces looked a little like he was cut but alas, no excessive violence in this type of show. We already predicted that it was Will but still, being an antihero adds a little spice to the show, along with his foreshadowing whatever it means(though it must mean the final boss of the show.)
And the teacher finding out about Heroman was really surprising and interesting.

Damn, I can't wait for the next episode. Collins and Lina(again) in swimsuits!! I can even ignore that there will be an enemy there as long as I see Lina's legs and the teacher's melons XD.

I'm with you. Just let him do whatever his doing and he will stop after that. Probably more will be killed by those weapons than a few guards that he might kill destroying them.

Next episode is beach fanservice filler huh? Did i see a possible tentacle action occurring with Lina there?

WTF @ the next episode preview.

I was amused when Joey was shouting at the teacher. Her face was like 'the hell?' >_<

Aw, too bad Rosarch is DC because then I could say that was on purpose.

I guess this explains why Collins-sensei is suddenly in the new OP and ED. She becomes part of the group.

Next episode looks like one of those "this is the last normal episode episode before all the serious plot goes down"

Aaaaaand he's Will. How unexpected. It's an american comic book custom to have characters have sporadic comebacks. I'm pretty sure they'll resurrect the Skrugg boss too.

And now, the highlight of ridiculous reality twists in favor of the plot!
First of all, even after he entered the gym that was clearly full of light from every direction, his skin/shell/whatever was still pitch black. Then suddenly, it turns blue. But only after Joey recognizes him! At the beginning I thought they kept it black because if they showed us the Skruggs' orange it would be too obvious. But no, it was blue. Couldn't they show it to us at least since he entered the gym on?
Then, when Will seems to be hurting Simon, why didn't Joey use his hyperspeed? There is really no excuse for that, except they had no other way to show that Will wasn't so bad after all in the episode's time. But that bends the reality they established in Heroman's world, and that's bad.

Apart from that, I liked the general tone of the episode, and the shape of Will's new character really remembers me of a set of american comic books' characters: right, but twisted and with a lot of problems. Although the raincoat's a little more like Alan Moore.
I think I'll enjoy this arc. :)

OK, will looks cool, I suppose. But I found his little speech a bit cheesey. I get it, weapons are bad, life sucks blah blah. I have to admit, what he's doing doesn't necessarily seem bad though. He's still a douche.
