| another great ep i still don't understand why she was dead in the first ep, it was just in his head so... problems are far from gone for him... E2 (8/10) |

| This is the best show of the season. So far, anyway. That was another amazing episode. I love how this show uses the various art styles with each style looking fantastic in its own right. Also, very interesting that the company also employs the villains, so everything is one big "reality" TV show. It would be great to see an entire episode or two about the original Nice and his friend. I think it is a bit of missed opportunity that they didn't make OG Nice and his friend be a secret yaoi couple. Of course, I doubt China would even allow something like that. Being best friends that dreamed of becoming heroes together worked well too though. It made the complete emotional breakdown believable. It was a very emotional ride. Moon's departure included. I wonder if they will see each other again, or if that cliffhanger from last episode was some sort of premonition rather than a dream? Either way, hell of start and I'm excited for whatever else is to come. |

| bro i'm so excited for the next episode! this was pretty hype |
 |
| this show is really good holy moly !! by the way should i watch previous season ?? seems different universe or will connected later ?? |
| thought the first episode was slightly overhyped but i'm starting to get hooked. this was a really good episode. the backstory of the previous nice and his best friend was good, the 2v1 fight sequence was great, the artstyle transitioning was smooth, the stuff with moon was nice too. starting to like the mc, bittersweet that moon left though. looking forward to more. |
 |
| It's great Moon got her ticket out, I was afraid she'd take Nice's route if it seemed hopeless. So now there is a villain who is empowered by fear. It makes me wonder if there will be other heroes and villains who will be empowered by yet other emotions. |
| i know its only 2 eps released but damn it keeps getting better its been a while since i watch something this good |
| It's NICE that wreck wants, I cracked omg |
| Definitely something sus about Moon not being dead. It's foreshadowing, but for what? Maybe nothing we see here is real? By the way Lin Ling is the perfect superhero, because the superpowers depend on the audience and knowing an manipulating audiences was/still is his job. Nice's nemesis being his partner being hired to play a villain makes totally sense in universe. J is still my favourite character and her chinese voice still my favourite VA in the show. Her goons are pretty sympathetic too. Great ending song, tho I am not much of a fan of the opening song. |
| I didn't like the idea of โโignoring the closing of the last episode, but the rest of the episode was good, the animation is still impeccable |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| This is incredible. How did this series evolve from the previous two? Both of those were trash from what I saw, and share nothing except the superhero genre and an author. |

Well I am honestly really confused about the status of Moon. Was it a dream, a vision of the future, an alternate reality, or something else that Nice saw at the end of last episode? Regardless, this episode was an interesting look at Moon's character. I appreciated how she felt trapped as an accessory to Nice and wanted to finally be free again - this seems to be the key feeling of most of the heroes and villains shown so far. They are all forced to ever increasingly play into a role that is predetermined for them rather than live out their own dreams. This was the same for Nice's rival this episode too, who seemed to feel genuine sadness at the death of Nice given their history and original shared dream. The action was brilliant again this episode; it was stylish, snappy and overwhelming in a good way. It seems at this point that the art style change is purely for aesthetic reasons, with it switching for the fight. Whilst it is a little jarring it looks great so I can't complain too much. The interviewer from last episode showed back up at the end so it seems he will be somewhat of an ongoing antagonist, especially now that he is teaming up with some kind of evil organisation.
| @InfinityDude88 My guess is precognition, The Hero Moon did die at the end anyway. |
| Great episode, but I’m so disappointed that Moon survived yet still ended up leaving. They finally started getting chemistry. I hope she regrets this decision |
| Two very enjoyable episodes, from both the animation and characters along with the story. I really liked the fight this ep between Nice, Moon and Wreck. I really hope we see more of Wreck throughout this series as so far he's been my favourite character, especially with his story being intertwined with Nice and them Becoming heroes together also his design and display of power where amazing. So far a great show with great characters, I cant wait for more. |

| I wasn't going to get around to commenting on this anime, but its first few episodes lead me to want to say just one thing. If there is anything in which this spin-off can be related to the previous anime, To be Hero and To be Heroine, it is that it is very likely, considering how the first episode ended and the events of the next, that there will be one or more Earths, they will bring up the parallel lines thing and that the dead Moon happened in another timeline. Perhaps the other thing that is also used from its predecessors is that the hero's power, apart from being fueled by people's trust in the superhero himself, he/she must channel it by believing in himself/herself. |
Batteru!  |
| I think moon's arc was really great, nothing went the generic route like her falling in love with lin ling or something, and yay she actually didn't die (cant believe this, LH0 did good here finally). She gets to go and live the life she wants now. Still though, was that cliffhanger in ep 1 a fake-out or was it foreshadowing something...? Now i STILL want to know more about the original Nice and who he was really. Zamnn wreck just got left behind in every way possible. It would be sad if he doesn't show up again, after getting bombshells dropped on him like that, seriously. He looked interesting. But I guess he just died...? Oh holy gotdamn, wreck's name sure be describing his life amirite So far the characters have been great, and i still see potential for insane drama, but the pacing has been a little fast for my liking to really focus on finer details about the character's thoughts etc. Like all the information and plot gets across well, but it's done so in a very brief manner. The events of ep 1 and 2 seem like they could've been spead out into 3 episodes. My favorite thing is yummy delicious DETAILS and there's a slight lack of those. So overall, there's nothing wrong with the writing, but it's like it's trying to speedrun through the story on screen. Still an enjoyable watch tho, with amazing visuals. Okay I came here from link click and YET AGAIN now we have black & white doomed yaoi too?! I wasn't aware I needed to bring a bingo card. Anyway so far, this series is looking good; still cant completely judge it at least until nice's arc is done. I quite wonder if/how the different hero stories will tie together or what X has to do with everything. Also, how much do the people's beliefs affect reality? Will lin ling later become Nice to the point he loses his own original personality? He even said he felt like more of a neat freak than before... Maybe not, but who knows |

 Cause every time I wake up in the morning I got burgers on my mind |
| I mean I am happy Moon is alive, but last episode cliffhanger was criminal, and then we just "LOL IT WAS A BAD DREAM CHILL"? It's like the laziest, the most idiotic way to explain and trick your audience. I'd rather them to actually stick to this and make a murder mystery with suspects and stuff But the show is good on its own. |
Reply to moxx_
So far both episodes are very condensed. I dont understand anything at all lmao
| @moxx_ It is not that difficult to understand. |
| Even better than Episode 1. Great fight animation, the sakuga was there. Nice x Moon relationship comes to its natural end. He cried because he didn't want to let her go, but he had to. I think he was way more attached than she was. Wreck being the original Nice's friend is just even sadder. There's just so much potential storylines in this world, it's insane and I can't wait to see more! |
 |
| Visually it is very nicely done but everything happens too fast and is quite chaotic. I have the impression that plot-wise you can't count on anything 'wow' |
| I love how optimistic most people here are about the real reason behind the fake death cliffhanger of Moon. The scene being some sort of horrific foreshadowing and/or a currently unknown premonition skill from Lin Ling sounds promising. And seeing how many viewers, me included, hated the "it's just a nightmare" explanation that was given for now, I hope one of your theories or something equally interesting will be the real reveal later. If not, that cliffhanger scene will leave a foul taste in some people's mouths. btw the German dub made a jaw dropping mistake during the wedding scene. The TV commentator guy said "Xiao Yueqinq hat zu Lin Ling JA gesagt!" - and I was like, wait a sec, did he just reveal Nice's real name to the entire world? No waaaaay. And indeed, rewatching the scene with subs and Japanese dub, the voice never mentioned Lin Ling's name ("Xiao Yueging said YES!"). What a strange dubbing mistake. |
