With a Great Giant Robot Comes Great Responsibility

There's finally a trailer out for Stan Lee's other Japanese collaboration, Heroman (the first one being the Ultimo manga, done with the guy who made Shaman King). I admit, I'm a little surprised to see that the Heroman robot is something the boy (Joey Jones) summons as opposed to pilots or transforms into; but now I wonder if he can control it with his arm thing, a la Gigantor/Tetsujin-88 or he just calls it and it punches large bug aliens. It's weird; I'm not looking forward to this per se, but I am somehow intrigued enough to want to see more (the generally excellent animation from Bones probably helps). Just to know what it's like. Whether it's actually as pro-American as it appears. Whether it's too earnest to work in America. And what the fuck is the deal with the kid with the ginormous afro. (Via Comics Alliance)
