Content warning: This review is SFW and there are no screenshots but if youre against most sexual talk/content I would not recommend reading this review and especially not watching this show. After I finished episode 2 of Super HxEros the H is silent I decided to check on Anilist what the reviews were and the only one I saw was in Portuguese. Thats when I knew Oh I gotta review this one. And so here I am. Theres a Roger Ebert review that I love of Shaolin Soccerhttps://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/shaolinsoccer2004. In that review he explains that his rating system is relative. I wont go indepth with his examples to keep this on topic but its a philosophy important to bring up when reviewing Super HxEros. If you are here reading these words youre not interested in knowing how I think this compares to Mob Psycho 100 or Ranking of Kings. Youre here to know how I think this compares to High School DxD or Domestic Girlfriend or at least you should be. And in that regard I believe that Super HxEros is better than both of those shows. And to keep things clear before I continue I am fully aware that Super HxEros is an ecchi series with massive amounts of nudity and perversion. Its the name of the game that I signed up for. If you watch episode 1 and hate it youre not going to like the rest of the series so I suggest dropping it. If you dont like overly sexual anime I do not recommend Super HxEros. But even if you have no sexual attraction to the female gender I would still recommend checking this out just for how absurdly fun it is. So why did I watch Super HxEros? How did I decide Yeah this is worth 5 hours of my life. Well for starters you dont forget a name like Super HxEros. But also the English dub stars Brittany Lauda and Matt Shipman. Both are great voice actors in their own right but if theyre starring together in an ECCHI? That is a sign that there is zero shame to be had. Thats why I pulled the trigger but having now seen the series the main characters could be played by any actor and I still would have liked it. Super HxEros is about a superhero team of teenagers which because its a harem consists of one boy and four girls that fight against bug monsters that have invaded to suck up our Henergy. The Super HxEros use their own Henergy to fight said bug monsters. In other words five teenagers are so horny that they use their horniness to fight monsters. All five of the teens in their own different ways try to restrain themselves regarding their perversions. Which is good because it leads to many batshit moments and keeps the series from being a fullon hentai. Hows the animation? All things considering pretty good. Yeah it has that early 2020s look to it and if youre a stickler for high quality animation then I cant imagine this winning you over but considering how LOW the bar is for ecchi comedies with extreme amounts of fanservice that arent borderline porn Id say Super HxEros looks good to me. The same can be said for the sound. Nothing noteworthy the music isnt special and thats fine its only a problem if its distractingly bad and it isnt though I have to admit that both the OP and the ED go much harder than they have any right to. I wont be listening to them outside of the show but I can recognize a good bop when I hear it. Its hard for me to explain this without spoiling scenes which I dont want to do or showing screenshots which Im not sure I can do but the reason that I like Super HxEros so much is because it is insane. I think the reason for that insanity is thanks in part to the knowing exactly what it is and not trying to be anything that it isnt. It doesnt try to be serious in any way it has lore but it doesnt expect you to care. I certainly didnt. The only thing Super HxEros is concerned with is being a goofy fun time. And really is there anything wrong with that? Dumb lowbrow entertainment should be appreciated for what it is than be shunned for what its not. And this goes for all media not just anime. Its a series about embracing perversions and how shutting them down can only make matters worse. And the way the series goes about exploring that is some of the most genuinely unhinged youll see an anime go for a while. Anime is a wonderful section of the animation medium able to explore themes and ideas that most worldwide animation rarely thinks to dabble on and it does so in mass quantities. Several of these stories are some of the best that the medium has to offer and their stories are considered classics worldwide because of that. Super HxEros is not one of those shows. Its a tits show. You are here for the tits. You are here to see beautiful women fight bug monsters and somewhere along the way remove their clothing bonus points if the reason the clothing is removed makes sense logicality not required. It meets its goal by being exactly as I just described. It succeeds at this for not going about it in an uncomfortable way a trapping that many anime of this genre fall into. If you want a great anime that pushes the medium forward watch Sonny Boy. If you want a stupid corny anime that just wants to have a fun time watch Super HxEros.
