Crunchyroll’s Best New 2026 Anime Unveils Its Winning Formula (And It’s Perfect)

Studio Kai’s anime adaptation of Sentenced to Be a Hero is visually stunning, but the story itself is even more captivating. The series follows Xylo and his group – individuals labeled as “Heroes” despite having committed serious crimes – as they strive to genuinely become heroes. While they’ve shown heroic qualities from the start, the latest episode really emphasizes this theme, with the group finally receiving praise for their actions. This moment establishes the show’s core pattern: a compelling journey of redemption and heroism.

The Moment Review: Charli XCX’s Mockumentary is an Unmitigated Disaster

Simply put, this film doesn’t work at all – it’s a complete failure. It’s incredibly presumptuous to create a movie with no real tension or consequences, and it comes across as either shockingly arrogant or completely disconnected from what audiences want. While director Aidan Zamiri has a strong background in music videos and commercials, he clearly struggles with the demands of storytelling. I don’t think this is a promising beginning.
