At first, the animation style takes a bit of getting used to, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. The story is super engaging, and the music really pulls you in. It kind of reminds me of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Cinematically, it's well put together, with some stunning visuals and solid direction. The pacing is just right-never feels rushed, but it also doesn't drag. The characters are already pretty interesting, and it feels like the story is setting up for something big. I have really high expectations for this anime, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

To Be Hero X is a show that tries to innovative in its medium of being an animated show. Mainly, the very occasional switch of animation style, art style, or even the animation type. It's great for them to be trying new stuff and not just delivering a generic product.
The story isn't lacking either, being to tell a engaging story despite of the fast pace that the show had. It is like more like an anthology but connected. There will arcs where the show focused on different heroes and they're journey and hardship of being one. We started with Nice and how he lives up to the expectation of others.
Overall, it's a great show.

Seems to be something new with beautiful animation and an interesting storyline. Furthermore, I think the love story between nice and moon can be developed into something really nice and I think this is a potential to be one of the best releases this season.

The only thing that stops it from being 10/10 is the jumping from character to character. Which makes it hard to invest in the characters, but other than that, I like it, and I know that the first 24 episodes are building up to the main story,y which I hope can make it more popular since it has a lot of potential.
Okay, I have to say this-there's this anime that nobody seems to be talking about, and I genuinely don't understand why. I stumbled on it randomly, no hype, no recommendations, just pure curiosity. And wow. I was not ready. This show? It's absolutely insane-in the best way possible. The animation alone is chef's kiss-cinematic, fluid, and just visually stunning. You can tell the team behind it poured real love into every single frame. It legit looks like a movie, but it's a weekly series. Like, how??
I kept expecting it to fumble somewhere because that's usually how these under-the-radar anime go-you get a cool idea, maybe solid animation for the first episode or two, then it drops off. But this one? It just keeps getting better. The story actually has layers. The characters feel real, the pacing is tight, and there's just something about it that grabs you and doesn't let go. There's emotional weight to what's happening, but it's also just straight-up cool. It hits that sweet spot of being fun and meaningful.
And listen, I don't say this lightly-but this might be Anime of the Year material. I know we're getting spoiled with big-name releases right now, but this show deserves to be in the conversation. It's better than a lot of the more hyped series I've seen lately, and it's doing its own thing in a way that feels fresh and exciting.
