Better episode than the previous one I guess. Some elements of Tony's background, his development, and his relationship with Yinsen strung together this episode. Romance with the assistant was not unexpected.

Tony making gadgets from scraps everywhere. Dream of world peace. And romance with Tanaka. This is so hilarious and unbelievable. Making things like that should take some time and yet there's no sign that time passes in that place? And what about Pepper?? And is Yinsen's mental trap still in place after this episode?
This is getting ridiculous. But I'm the one who's ridiculous for still watching this.
Meh, I said I'll watch this till the end and I shall.

For some reason though it's not really boring. It can be ridiculous and stupid but i can't say i struggle until those 24 minutes get by. If i was i would have dropped it.
So just shut-off your brain and watch it as light entertainment.
Since when did superhero stories weren't full with ridiculous unrealistic elements anyway?

I bet everything was planned by Tony Stark so he can lure that Japanese scientist chic.
Yes this is a big spoiler. His friend hasn't turned evil just like that, his obviously still his friend. Come on, replacing his reactor but giving it back to him simply like that in the end and even giving him a pacemaker to walk around?
They planed everything together so he can get under her skirt.
Yes Tony Stark is an evil man, no chick will play that hard to get and get away with it.

Yes, but, it kinda changes everything about the arc generator in his chest, remember in the movie Tony can't live without his arc generator, here in the anime, he seems to be able to lasted an hour or so without it.

Have you missed the first movie? He lived without his reactor and quite a long time at that.

seriously not a bad episode, and I would have sworn Toney had no chance of getting with Tanaka, they still seem an unlikely couple without being strung togther with coincidences. He was stuck with her last episode too. I should have seen where the show was going with that. One problem I got with this episode is why didn't Toney make an arc reactor, it didn't seem to take him very long when he was captive to make one. But over all I think that new I.M armor looks better then Starks.

Hmm... Yeah that was pretty bad story wise. You see, i have no problem with things being ridiculous and unbelievable but ONLY if it is truly awesome. This is just not the case with this show; it doesn't pass that threshold.

I am hoping that the kid makes things interesting next episode although i can't imagine them trying to incorporate any jokes. Looks like he is fighting Sakurai next episode for her too. (Average 5/10)

So is it me or did Tanaka know that he was gonna get kidnapped. I mean when she came round she looked like she knew some thing was gonna happen, or is that just me?

Not a terrible episode. I kind of liked the fact that Tony was able to do all that in less than a day, even if it was farfetched.

For fucks sakes, A broken ankle? And then a kiss after a ''I want to make the world a better place'' speech? Come on!
And the next episode doesn't look good either. You have a character with an amazing suite, let him use the fucking suit to raise some hell.

Ohhh good episode... why can't we get more awesome moments like this with Iron Man instead of these unknown characters...

Oh wait... it's the ending...

WTF?! WTH?! OH MY GOD! WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?! TONY STARK?! TONY?! WHAT?! WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN--- HOLY CRAP! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Tanaka you little minx...


THAT IS NOT THE TONY I KNOW...

EDIT: Oh yeah and what was with the serious mystery expression Tanaka had on her face when she came to Tony's house? I mean she seems like a suspicious character... because it looked like she was in with the plan, or maybe it's just me. Because that can also explain the kissing and stuff.

Yeah, I thought that too. Seems like they're planting the seeds of revealing that she's working for Zodiac.

I believe Yinsen knew tony's assistance was the closest one to him so he planed for all this commotion to happen on that island. Tony, of course, did the sweat talk at the end and it worked.

I liked this episode more than the last one. I kinda liked that Yinsen really thought out the whole thing.

The end was kinda ranom, but whatever. As long as the action stays.

I liked the episode. And the whole anime is good in my opinion. Much better than the Wolverine anime. That was bad. It was cool that Wolverine did a cameo in this series though.

A bad episode in a bad series. I guess that kind of works out.

The story line sucked. The Japanese J. Jonah Jameson is kind of funny, and definitely better than the reporter and the glutton photographer.

Good episode and a great way for Tony to really believe he has changed. The kiss was perfect but Pepper won't be too happy ^^u.

Much better than the previous episode, yet still only average. Well, everything in this show has been average so far anyway. Seems like Tony really planned this out though.

I didn't care much for this episode. I'm not sure how Tony managed to get the supplies for that makeshift rocket. I wouldn't think he had enough fuel with the scraps on that trash island, but i might have missed something.

Also I'm not really liking how Yinsing is turning out, but i''ll see how this goes for now.
