I saw a lot of yaoi fanarts too, but
after watching the anime, so I wasn't "misguided"

I'm not a big fan of yaoi shipping (I do accept homos though), and although there are a few moments of Kotetsu and Barnaby that yaoi shippers can imagine more into, like they wish they'd go further, they never get into such levels of their relationship.
But, I respect the yaoi fanarts/fanfics too, I'm just not a fan of them. And some are really nice in their way.
I really like the character developments in this anime. And it isn't so very anime-like, no big facechanges, veins,huge sweatdrops, googly eyes etc. And it's humor is placed in the scenes well, when it comes to humor
smile I'dd say it's a bit western, but somewhat Eastern too. I've read somewhere that the script writer didn't write scripts for animes before Tiger & Bunny or so...
It's true, this anime did not come from a manga like many others. It went straight to anime, which I think is the reason the story line takes a little while to pick up. But the creators said they really wanted an anime that reflects American comics, so they did their best to mash the styles. I think they did a really great job of it.
Oh, I see. Well, I know an example (Sailor Moon) where an anime is made of a manga and yet it has many filler episodes plus villains which are not in the manga and/or vice versa. That's up to the creators and the manga author though.
I see. I think so, they did do a great job, also I liked that it had less Japanese-only features (I'm not against them though), but it was more international/American. I liked there were no anime-caricatures (huge sweatdrop, chibi form, huge eyes, vein etc) and I also noticed that the 99% of the characters have non Japanese names, only Kotetsu and his family seems to have Japanese names and there are only English titles in the series, maybe except for the subtitle of Kotetsu's towel (lol). So these make it more international and/or American like. I didn't feel like it was 100% American comic like, but to some degree I did.
