Synopsis

This is a world where heroes are created by people's trust, and the hero who has received the most trust is known as "X." In this world, people's trust can be calculated by data, and these values will be reflected on everyone's wrist.

Preliminary (3/24 eps)
Alright, it's been three episodes, and I think it's time for me to share some thoughts. To Be Hero X might be one of the most creatively bold anime this season.

First, let's start with the obvious. The unique blend of 2D and 3D CG is phenomenal. While I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, it's great to see this kind of experimentation in the anime industry, and I welcome it. The way it mixes styles gives the show a look that stands out.

I genuinely believe this show strikes a balance between strong writing and impressive animation. Now, I know some people might raise their ...

It never stops, it never breaths, it never allows even its own serious moments to have weight because no cut is allowed to last more than a few moments on screen. How the show will keep up this exhausting pace for 24 episodes I have no idea.

The animation and style on display is obviously a big draw, ...

Pro: The animation is flashy. That's pretty much all it has though.

While being sold as a show about being a hero, it's really more about media and the plight of the celebrity. The masses are mindless consumers who see a flashy commercial of pretty people telling them to "believe in themselves" or some other generic canned corporate line and that builds enough trust in to give actors superpowers. The show starts with some random guy who is meant to show the civilian perception of heroes. And he outright says someone prettier will come along to replace the hero. Then immediately sees a hero die right ...
