Happy Hiro - UK

[importednascar]

the rhymes are crappy.

[7Lightening]

I think if this story was set a few months after it was aired, then Hiro may have been unable to return to Japan because of the earthquake and tsunami. It'll add a bit of a realistic touch to the story.

[93DOL]

That's right

[imjustmakingthisstup]

racist wwwwwwwwwwww

[Heroduothecomedian]

i dont what it is about hiro voice actor but i love,next to thomas.hiro has become my next favorite character.maybe it has to do with where hiro from?

[UltramanCronosV2]

Hiro = the epitome of wasted potential. =(

[roloboy97]

thomas realy need to listen more

[roloboy97]

did hiro go back to his island at the very end of hero of the rails im confused??

[heeyimwill]

The narator talks to us like we are all retarded.

[Deathawaitsnoone]

@heeyimwill

Probably because the new series has been designed for autistic children....Well from what I've heard.

[MrGetBusy69]

@heeyimwill He never used to talk like that. He actually managed to sound relatively articulate.

[floorspeed]

i really dont like the CGI honestly

[class37trash]

The birds sang they worbeld and whisteld, and shat on thomas's golden toped whistle.

[484berkshire]

On another note, isn't Hiro technically YOUNGER than Thomas (Thomas was built in 1915 and I think D-51s were built later)?

[Vita1530]

@484berkshire

Yes, because D51s were FIRST built during 1936

[484berkshire]

Man Hiro has one BEAST of a whistle! Unfortunately that was the only part of the episode I enjoyed...

[captainofthetitanic]

hiro needs to see a therapist. hes always sad and depressing

[Deadq]

they never listen, never think, too excited to pay attention and make the same mistakes over and over again. sigh

[Kimipeikko]

dammit, why does thomas have to be a such goodie two shoes character in these new episodes?? doesn't HiT remember how he was described in the first episode? "Thomas is a cheeky little engine too..." and so on

[ClearwaterMK2]

I guess Hiro's home was not wat it used to be.

[93DOL]

I like Hiro I wish they gave him better storylines

[LionelThomas200]

@93DOL : / probably say like he is not the first steam engine on Sodor, possably like say this I had in mind that he was to be use for the second World War, and was send to Sodor by mistake and Hiro perfers Sodor better than just being part of a War, just like No: 2/Stanley from the RWS that was a War Engine as well from America. it's the thought that counts, just think about it if that might be good for a Story instead, that's what's going to happen in mine story. (Secrets will be Reveal). ; /

[16DDHhyuga]

Hiro is Japanese D-51 type engine.

[BriCareful]

damn outsourcing making Hir sad

[darkblade049]

@TMRReturns no they are blue brakedown coaches idk y he would have them but he does

[1dunky1]

Does thomas not have a branch line to run these days?!

[TFdragon64]

HOW THE HELL IS MISTY ISLAND ANYTHING LIKE JAPAN?! 0_o

[bobo577]

@TFdragon64 Lots of trees in the countryside perhaps.

[bigthomasfan624]

Hiro should like living on Sodor than Japan.

[mrtrainboy97]

@bigthomasfan624 Well, It's A Fact That Hiro Is A JNR D51 Mikado. And Japan Is Where He Was Built.

[toby070]

for some reason, the voices at times sound a little homosexual and helium inhailing.

[bluecomet10]

wow thats very amazing to see engines catch their cargo

[mycazify]

jfb mkhg bc  ljhxgvg d vbfrerfrc

[93DOL]

Make ur mind up Hiro when you're at your home you miss sodor and when you're on sodor u miss your home.

[pennyf9]

this episode was good but as always, Thomas is air headed, not thinking of what he is doing, 3 strikes and then he will figure it out, Thomas really needs to start listening to his friends, He should listen to Hiro, he is wise! If HiT is going to make Thomas the lead role in an episode, make him smart! Make another engine do mistakes and let him do the right thing!

[leepatto1]

what season is this episode on

[93DOL]

@leepatto1 season 15 the new series channel 5 last episode of it airs on monday 7:30am

[MrComedy01]

cool :)

[lego4555]

cool

[MrComedy01]

If Daisy came back, who would you like to voice her, Keith Whickam or Teresa Gallegher?

[TTTEpisodeS15]

@MrComedy01 Probably Teresa Gallagher or Jules de Jongh

[Naylte]

@TTTEpisodeS15 How about Patricia Routledge?

[MrComedy01]

@TTTEpisodeS15 Just 1 more thing, do you think that Keith Wickham makes a good Bill and Ben, or do you think they could have hired Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood (Dick and Dom) to voice them?

[7Lightening]

@MrComedy01 In the SiF interview with Keith Wickham he confirmed that he will be doing Ben's voice in the future. I think it would be good if the twin's voices were in the style of Nick and Fetcher from Chicken Run. (They were voiced by Timothy Spall and Phil Daniels)

[MrComedy01]

@7Lightening Yeah! LOL

[thomasandfriendfan01]

@MrComedy01 Teresa Gallegher

[SuperMarioNJ]

@MrComedy01 THE VOICE OF GlaDOS

[Ty43219CPV]

@MrComedy01 Honestly, if any old characters ever do come back, I don't think anyone would be that happy really.But if they do, it won't be very soon.

[MrComedy01]

@Ty43219CPV Good point, Hit Never have any fun with the old characters! all they do is add more new ones, I also think that flynn needs to be seen on the road, I mean we only see him on the rails! just because he's got the word "engine" in him doesn't class him as a train...

[Ty43219CPV]

@MrComedy01 Yeah. I could think of a million ways to replace all these useless characters,especially Sidney. He's seen laughing with the diesels when Percy cracks a joke in the Dieselworks, and then later, when Kevin is playing with Happy Hook, hes gone for the rest of the special! Plus, they could have added Boco and Daisy back a long time ago. Trust me, if Boco and Derek haven't been seen since season 5, they DEFINATELY aren't coming back. Derek may have appeared as a cameo in CAE but still.

[MrComedy01]

@Ty43219CPV 1 more character we need back is Duke! I can just imagine duke uttering his famous phrase of "That would never suit his grace" in CGI! I think we also need a wider range of voices on Thomas! maybe others who were famous in 80's cartoons since Thomas is an 80's programme, we need people like Susan Roman (The Raccoons), She'd make a great Lady Hatt! If you watch an episode of the Raccoons and Listen to how she voices Mellissa, you'd be amazed!

[Ty43219CPV]

@MrComedy01 If you ask me to be a voice actor, I'd ask for Percy and Bash. For the US their voices aren't bad (I'm USA), but honestly, Percy's and Bash and Dash's UK voices are HORRIBLE! It makes my ears crackle. Plus, they need new plots. Instead of 3 strikes and you're out. They needs more crashes, runaways, collisions! Hit did an okay job with about 5 season 15 episodes, but altogether I only truly liked about 3. Stop That Bus!,James to the Rescue and Percy the Snowman.But it sucked otherwise

[MrComedy01]

@Ty43219CPV I think the trucks deserve to be voiced too! they haven't been given vocals yet!

[Ty43219CPV]

@MrComedy01 Yeah. The last time they spoke was in season 12 in James Works It Out!

[93DOL]

@Ty43219CPV they did make mumbling type noises in Splish, Splash, Splosh

[ALEXA6385]

cuayet



[MrEndrew8]

@MrComedy01 wat happened to her? Scrap heap?

[etenks1]

If Thomas wasn't thinking about anything, what was the point to this episode. Just merchandising i suppose!

[RandomRobloxian]

*finishes watching episode* Geez, so many repeated lines!

[RandomRobloxian]

And didn't Hiro just come back from his homeland a few weeks ago?

[RandomRobloxian]

O_O Annie and Clarabell have been replaced! NOOOOO!!!!!

[thomasfan69]

"One Biff, One Bash, and there's always a crash" Reminded me of TTTEParody's YTP...

[TTTEpisodeS15]

@thomasfan69 Yeah, he needn't of bothered piecing the dialogue together from separate pieces of audio - he could have waited for this episode XD

[TrainzFanNumber1]

0:33 Percy still says that?

[darkblade049]

i like the episode :]

[LionelThomas200]

@darkblade049 and so do i. ; )

[sirrliv]

Okay HiT. At what point did you decide to make Thomas a freaking retard?! I mean really.

And you couldn't even see the great opportunity to have Hiro cross the Shake-Shake Bridge. Sure, it would still have been stupid, but I actually kinda wanted to see that.

[LionelThomas200]

@sirrliv oh give it a rest you idiot, it Hit's decision, and no yours. 

[littleblueengine]

amazing how Thomas learned his lesson rite after Hiro whistled... and... what's the point of bringing Hiro to Sodor if he just complains about it anyway?

[Sidekickjason]

The episode is awful, and there is no mist on misty island. I thought the mist lifted rarely. Not everytime Thomas wants to visit.

[UnknownThomasFan1]

@Sidekickjason With HiT,anythings possible :P

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

Oh my goodness, what a load of tripe. i could write better than this asleep with my hands tied behind my back and my table a mile away.

Watching the puffball take Hiro on a "tour" where nothing exciting happens really got my goat. Quite possibly the worst series ever to be created by HiT.

It disgusts me how shows like TUGS get shunted into the background and forgotten, yet this crap gets all the merchandising and publicity it could ever want.

[NemesisHero123]

Why won't Thomas learn from his mistakes? XD

[UnknownThomasFan1]

I think Hiros voice actor is the only one who takes his job seriously :P

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

@UnknownThomasFan1 Absolutely correct.

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

Charlie's joke was also awful. Besides the animation and music, is there no creativity at $HiT these days?!

[BorisFangirl]

@UnknownThomasFan1 Indeed. He's cool. Especially how he's the voice of Dr. Moshimo on Robotboy.

[cactus190706]

It was an ok episode maybe not the best but the cgi made up for it.

[TheFattHatt1943]

Wow, that was bad...

[carson08022000]

i thought they were going to show the shake shake bridge

[trainboy7]

"what has four legs, but never walks?"

"..a table"

>.<; god are charlie's jokes bad! if he were to go to a comedy club, he'd get booed off the stage

[trainboy62]

My ratings: 3/10

[LionelThomas200]

what a great episode, i loved it. :D

[lbbrian]

This episode was quite good.

It was a little like jitters and japes somhow, but it was also nice to see More Charlie.

First E&D, EtH, JttR, now Happy Hiro.

My rating; 7.5/10

Next Up: Up Up and Away

[trainlover658]

well hiro WAS bought back for the summer season... must be one hell of a summer ._.

[BiggestThomasFan]

It's great that Hiro got to star in another episode. He hasn't starred in one since Season 13. And I like how Hiro got to meet the logging locos for the first time.

[TheBlueE2]

I wanted to say good things about this episode but its so weak :/



[clashrogers]

Thank god that it's one episode where none of the character rhyme. Until Michael Angelis goes Dr. Suess on our asses.

[LEON13858]

i quite enjoyed this.

good points: hiro on misty island ,thomas with as a main episode character, charlie,hiro and logging locos in one episode was nice and hiro getting angry was an unexpected change.

bad points: thomas being too cocky and rhyming,charlies joke riddle, and hiro going back and forth from japan to sodor. why even visit if your going to whine about your home. also why does thomas need to be the leader with the ideas.

[Lightninging63]

Good Episode.

Thomas has his first lead in what, six episodes?

Big-headed as usual..and the rhyming was a bit much

But it was nice to see Hiro on Misty Island.. I wasn't expecting it

And Hiro speaking out was pretty interesting too.. never saw Hiro get angry before..

[BramGroatFilms]

Thomas finally has a main role.

He seems to be over confident in his ideas...again. :\

But I like how Hiro interacts with the other new engines, and that he feels homesick.

The only engine introduced in the CGI series that didn't appear in this episode was Scruff.

[ThomasPercyandToby2]

@BramGroatFilms And Victor and Kevin.

[modelsofsodor]

Hiro has an epic Peter Fonda moment...

[modelsofsodor]

@rjconnolly64- Rather, this is the furthest? :P

[crazyracer12]

Charlie's joke was the lamest one EVER HEARD BY ME. And that's saying something!

[TheSI3DRemakist]

Is it just me or is Hiro the most depressed engine ever?

Not a bad episode 7.5/10

[TheUnluckyTug02]

The music that starts at 7:00 is epic!

I don't understand why everyone says this episode was averagish. Sure, it had some bad spots, but it was pretty decent in my opinion. My only major beef is why Hiro is still on Sodor. He must be taking one very long vacation from Japan!

[plunderbird]

great to see Hiro,Charlie and Ferdinand in the same episode

[disneyrangerblue02]

@plunderbird *Ahem!* What about Bash and Dash?

[alexanderprice6]

This one was pretty good. It was really nice to see the strong friendship between Thomas and Hiro again, and it was good to see the Master of the Railway talk to Charlie and the Logging Locos. But we could have done without Angelis doing so much rhyming.

[Zorran202]

Another 3 strikes you're out....-_-'

Buuuuuuuut, it's great to see Hiro in a main role again, compared to Season 14 that is, not to mention seeing him interact with Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand too :)

[TheSodorSteamworks]

Almost ALL Thomas episodes are the same! Thomas won't listen, he makes a mistake, and fixes it up again. I get so tired!

Well, it could've been worse. Many beautyful sights. :)

[ThomasPercyandToby2]

I must say, I can write better episodes than this with my eyes shut. But I suppose it's nice to see HIT utilising their CGI characters
