User blog:Amelia Lonelyheart/I Wanna Be a Hero: A Somber Tale of Growing Up Animated

Premise
The story follows Joshua Adamms, a young man (Age 14) who grew up on heroic media and has genuine passions for heroism. Unfortunately, the dull reality keeps him down to Earth, but it doesn't stop him from trying. Despite the more fantastical premise, the show is mostly a grounded slice of life show with on-going story arcs and real continuity.

Joshua Adamms
Joshua is a generally optimistic and easy going kid. Though his longing for justice can be seen as comical as others, he's truly selfless ad actually does want to do heroic things, even if his dull reality keeps him grounded. Although usually easy going, he does sometimes feel angst or sulk on particular occasions. He can't quite explain it, but sometimes he feels it in his heart to do something, like someones in danger, only to find nothing, contributing to his odd sense of loneliness.

Joshua is a total geek. He loves comic books, cartoons, anime and toku shows. When his family was going through a hard time in a rescission, Joshua read his dads old comic books and watched old animations from the 70s. These would jump start many of Joshua's interest. The comics of superheroes gave him a deep sense of wonder and awe and taught him that even in the most dire of situations, good people are still doing good things. Joshua adopts somewhat of a boyscout persona, much to the ire of his siblings who find it "stupid", though even they're impressed -- and proud -- of how far his heroic personality can go, and how earnest it is.
