| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode, liked it. On one hand, it showed some progress about the Project, on the other hand it developed some characters. I like the way they are showing the way the japanese population thinks about Tony Stark and the Iron Man - and the way he gains their trust. It develops the character of Tony Stark into the likeable hero-direction. Then again, we finally got to see more of Tanaka, seems like she's quite a genius. BUT I'm glad that Nanami proved to be less useless than I thought she'd be. It was nothing big, but it gives me hope~ Oh, btw, is it only me or is the Opening really just lame? Everytime I see it I wanna turn on AC/DC again... |
| I agree on the feeling of how the public in Japan reacts towards Tony Stark/ Iron Man, and Stark Industries. As a die hard Iron Man fan for years, I appreciate the writers keeping Tony just as blunt and snarky as he has always been, instead of trying to humble him. Great story development on this one, now we know that Zodiac is getting a lot of their information from inside sources, and that clearly that these sources of information are clearly expendable. Also since episode 2 I have felt that some of the characters such as the Prime Minister know far more than what they are letting on. Hold on to your socks everyone because it looks like we are in store for a Marvel style plot twist. |
 |
| Does it seem that the CG animation has improved by bounds since episode 1? The movement of the Iron Man suit looks a lot smoother and sharper. Really nice episode to develop Tony's character. Looks like we might have a nice flashback to the Iron Man movie 1's scene with Tony imprisoned before he developed the Mark I suit. Looking forward to it~ XD |
| good episode by far the best one. |
 |
| much better than the previous ones.. |
| The show has gotten a bit better but it's still largely forgettable fare. If things keep improving at this pace it might still turn into something decent though. |
| Ara ara. |
| What, no Zodiac enemy of the week? =3= Nanami is really getting on my nerves now, she asks for an interview so badly then stutters when she's given one. She's persistent that it's getting annoying. And I really can't piece together what they want with the tech their stealing and what they're building, although I know it's for world domination that's typical for Marvel villians. Next episode is a flashback and a reunion. Wonder who was Nanami referring to that's with Stark. Maybe it's Pepper? I kinda want to see her here. Wow, not a lot of posts yet. We're losing viewers fast :3 |
 |
| Good episode and the next one is a flashback from his begginings. I wonder who will be with Stark. I wish to see Rhodes here but I think Pepper will be the one. |

| That... That was a pretty good episode. Everything from music to the CG to VA has improved.. I'm impressed. Keep going the way they are and I think this might actually turn out to be half decent. |
| Good episode... So i guess the moral in this moral episode "Don't judge a book by it's cover" Like Tony Judging the EMP emitter. Tanaka Judging Nanami etc... |
| Meh. i thought it was better than the other episodes so far. That professor sure was crazy. Anyways, I liked how Nanami didn't pester Tony the whole episode and the fact that there was some thinking involved to beating the villan. I actually don't really like how they portrayed the rescue worker. I mean, what person in their right mind would refuse help like that? I think that the theme of gaining their trust is good, but i just don't like how that's the focus of the whole show. Zodiac is just there so he can show off and so far have no real intentions. Despite that, look forward to next week? |

Looking forward to it~ XD Yeah it seems very probable from the preview. This episode was probably the best until now. It had a nice done of action and suspense. I wonder if this zodiac guys will keep getting harder and harder each episode. This guy was quite tough. |
| WOW. Much better guys, MUCH better. It's finally feeling like Iron Man... kool_kidak said: Looks like we might have a nice flashback to the Iron Man movie 1's scene with Tony imprisoned before he developed the Mark I suit. Looking forward to it~ XD THIS. I still am not "blown away," (or even satisfied really) but I can see it's getting better. |
  |
| I hate reporters and I hate her, too bad she wasn't caught in the tornado.Good episode though. |
| Now that is more like a Marvel feeling. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Nice episode. A few parts probably could have been done a little better, but I'm not complaining. At least Nanami wasn't as annoying this time as she was in the last episode. |

I think that the theme of gaining their trust is good, but i just don't like how that's the focus of the whole show. You know, that worker is a proud worker. He does his job, he likes his job, he probably hates to rely on other, external people. Help was already underway, but the road was blocked. helur said: Zodiac is just there so he can show off and so far have no real intentions. Yeah, that's because there only were 2(/3) Zodiacs that just did their jobs, nothing else. There was no real dialogue, we just see that they're preparing for something. Hell, do you really want to know the villain's plan after 3 episodes? Do you really want to already know them? That's what I HATED about some Troll who also wrote a review about this anime. Complaining about the 'new mecha enemies' and lack of evil archenemies without even knowing what the background is. And pardon me, Iron Man IS in a way naturally Mecha. Nothing organic could stand against him in the first place. |
| Good episode. Disliked the man that refused Tony Stark to help :\ But he know what to do if it happens next time :) Felt like the episode was 5min. long.... 5/5 |
     |
| better than the previous ep, and action packed! cg aside, this show is awesome! and the preview for the next ep...just like everybody is saying, we'll get to see Tony's first iron man suit |
 |
| Another boring episode I feel like I've seen a million times in my life. Something is still very off with Tony's character that I can't put my finger on, and I wish the public reaction was more varied and less douchey, but maybe Japan is naturally that irrational and xenophobic. |
| Yay~ This episode was the best by far. :3 It had lots of action. I do hope they keep up the good work! |
| I really like one of the songs they use in the soundtrack, during the final tornado fight scene. |
| I still feel that the animation and drawing could bee soo much better for this anime. But, its getting better, at least it wasn't so cliche like the past episodes :) I guess we're going to see some Iron Man 1 movie material in the next ep. |
| this was waay better than the previous epds imo, of course I continue to watch for the action :) |
| Now we are getting serious! |
| That was interesting but.....seriously? Sending fucking massive tornados to assassinate people? >_> I find it funny how the whole city wasn't in panic over the huge destruction...then again, the city's been terrorized in every episode. And also, interesting how the professor chose to use a bulky laz0r gun that charged before shooting it's blast, rather than using a simple handgun which would have no such delay....(also the girls left his weapon right where it was when he was knocked down) I mean, if he can have access to a destructive lazor-blaster gun in Japan, then why wouldn't he have access to something like a hand-gun? Eh but screw it, I guess logic simply doesn't apply to this show. It seems the antagonists will do anything to show-off, even if it's impractical and foils their plans. |
 |
| This is actually turning out rather good, i think most people dropped this too soon. Nanami was even more annoying :< I like Tanaka most :> |
| I liked this episode, but I was kinda sad that there was no Zodiac this week (or was that tornado one?). However, I found it more boring than the first two episodes. I do think that the CG has improved, but I hope that Tony spends more time in the armor next time. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Signs of improvement, but now we need more out of the main arc. |
 |
| The twist was okay. I don't mind that this episode didn't have a lot of action in it. At least there's more progress in the story. |
 |
| Well better episode still not sure how much how i actually like it yet though. |
 |
| I disliked this episode. Good parts: Iron Man showing citizens that he's a hero (a little forced though) and Nanami doing something. Plus more Tanaka. Bad parts: Everything else. |
 |
| Nice action and development, let's see what's next! |
