To Be Hero X is Going to Shatter All Records of Superhero Anime
The wait for To Be Hero X has been feverish since the release of the first promotional video. Another massive Chinese anime or donghua was actually not expected so soon, right after Link Click had shown its unprecedented record-breakingly phenomenal success very recently.
With a scheduled 2025 release, the wait for the next anime year is already on. While the Winter 2024 anime season also has some really exciting releases, To Be Hero X sure looks like one of the most notable ones for the next year.
— Anime News And Facts (@AniNewsAndFacts) September 16, 2024One of the bigger talking points about the series is actually its animation. Also, the trailer that first came out about two years ago, highlighted a seamless inclusion of 2D and 3D elements, leaving viewers absolutely stunned. The visuals in these trailers are unquestionably pretty surreal to even most of the recent Japanese anime.
And now with this recent release announcement trailer, they have reached a new level with an impressive 2D animation standard akin to the renowned Ufotable’s animation quality.
This storyline, focusing on the cryptic Hero X, is highly reminiscent of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s Satoru Gojo, and a lot of buzz has been brewing about it. This storytelling, paired with the gorgeous animation that the previous To Be Hero X trailers showcased, will be phenomenal if everything goes right.
Rightfully So, Fans Are No Longer Able To Contain Their Excitement
