Heybot! English Sub & Dub

About Heybot!

Here is what Heybot! (ヘボット!) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and sci-fi anime by Bandai Namco Pictures (2016). The premise: The anime takes place on the screw-shaped island country of Screw Island and follows the "Vocabot" Heybot and his partner, Prince Nejiru as they collect different "Vocab Screws". When the Vocabots wear the Vocab Screws on their heads, they're able to compete in "Vocab Clashes," battles for who can think up and tell the best jokes.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Shiori Izawa as Heybot and Nao Tamura as Nejiru Negil.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 50 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
