SUPER HxEROS

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, SUPER HxEROS is available in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll right now. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 52 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka leads a cast with real comic timing. Put it on tonight on Crunchyroll and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, SUPER HxEROS is worth clearing space for. The jokes in SUPER HxEROS land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Earth faces an unprecedented threat from an invasion by the mysterious Kiseichuu. The Kiseichuu feed on human sexual energy, also known as “H-energy,” and weaken the human population. High school student Retto Enjo is a member of the hero group HxEROS, who fight together to save the earth from the Kiseichuu. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Ai Kakuma lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It first aired in 2020. SUPER HxEROS earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, SUPER HxEROS respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to World Trigger will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
