Hiro the Hero
July 30, 2007
On Wednesday, the cult series Heroes began to air on Uk terrestrial TV, and although I’m not usually one for British tv, and managed to greatly avoid the new wave of cult shows from the US such as Lost and Prison Break, I found myself sat on the edge of my chair avidly captured in the double episode special of this newest show.
Besides it’s obvious sci-fi, and comic-esque style appealing to the boy in me, it was one particular character which makes the series what it is for me; a particular businessman named Hiro Nakamura. None other than a naive otaku with dreams of grandeur, he can suddenly control the time-space continuum, in the loosest possible sense of the word control, and sets off to save the world, if in a very innocent way…
While a little steriotypical, it’s definately amusing to see the generalised modern otaku with super powers XD
