  • Cutscene Ep 126 – To Be Hero X episodes 1-12
    Aug 20 2025

    An anime so nice we're gonna watch it twice. And by twice we mean we're watching the rest of season 1.

    In a world full of brilliant heroes, it’s the trust of fans that turns heroes into superheroes. If a hero loses the people’s trust, they lose their special abilities. Trust value is collected, quantified, and used to determine a hero’s ranking, displayed on their wrist. Every two years, the top heroes go to a tournament to fight, determine new trust values, and earn their rankings.

    Next episode we're going to talk about 13-24, so be ready.

  • Cutscene Ep 125 – A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof
    Jul 15 2025

    Well, we weren't supposed to catch feels from this anime but here we are. This was a great watch and all three of us HIGHLY recommend it.

    On the way home from school one day, Konoha Koga rescues Satoko Kusagakure, a ninja who escaped her village. Soon, pursuers from the village show up in search of Satoko only to be deftly dealt with by Konoha. As it turns out, the unassuming high schooler is actually an assassin. Thus, the potentially cutthroat cohabitation of a ninja and an assassin begins!

    Our next anime is TO BE HERO X:

    In a world full of brilliant heroes, it’s the trust of fans that turns heroes into superheroes. If a hero loses the people’s trust, they lose their special abilities. Trust value is collected, quantified, and used to determine a hero’s ranking, displayed on their wrist.
