The second ending theme, using cel characters against “real world” backgrounds, was very interesting because the backgrounds were vivid and from real life. This isn’t the only anime that’s pulled such a trick – Sekimatsu Occult Gakuen has a real-life girl laying in a field with a close-up on her face, no “animation” except some particle effects at the end – but Heroman’s ending just seemed to work better (for using such a trick).
Also, I really dig the song they use.
