After 11 years, the leaders in anime about superheroes and product placement are back in action!

quote:

The series takes place in "NC 1978" in a fictional, re-imagined version of New York City called Stern Bild City, where 45 years before, superpowered individuals known as "NEXT" (an acronym standing for Noted Entities with eXtraordinary Talents) started appearing and some of them became superheroes. Each of the city's most famous superheroes work for a sponsor company and their uniforms also contain advertising for real-life companies. Their heroic activity is broadcast on the popular television show "Hero TV", where they accumulate points for each heroic feat accomplished (arresting criminals or saving civilians, for example) and the best ranked hero of the season is crowned "King of Heroes".


Airing as 25 episodes split into two cours, the first 13 episodes will premiere on Netflix on Friday April 8.

One thing that's got me thinking is the dub. The original series had a few actors in its dub who went on to go really big and kinda move beyond anime dubbing, like Travis Willingham, Liam O'Brien, and Laura Bailey. But Netflix has a pretty good relationship and agreement with SAG-AFTRA with its dubs, and they pay a lot better for it than other companies, which is the main reason those big names tend to move on, so it's possible.

Also regarding this, everyone is back EXCEPT Laura and Travis. Even Daran Norris as Mario, surprisingly enough!

I also like how Agnes has put on weight but it's not like...a joke or anything. She's just a bit bigger.

E: Also I'm noticing there's a lot more Bandai Namco sponsors on the suits, like SH Figuarts, Bandai and Namco themselves, Pac-Man, Premium Bandai. Probably a move to more future-proof at least part of the suit thing since those are internally owned brands and wouldn't have to necessarily worry about contracts running out.

Out of curiosity why? Also plan to add him to the OP?

I'm gonna be honest, half of it was it having been a while since I saw the Rising and forgetting that he existed, lol. It didn't help that we wasn't listed on the site or shown in a lot of the promotional material. For a while, guy kinda had the vibe of "movie exclusive character."

Also yes the OP has been updated with Ryan, English VOs, and the rookies' powers


E: Also, the "everyone is partnered up" dynamic they have going is pretty fuckin' smart, and even 4 episodes in, it's already giving us a few fun stories.

I just realized that the dub cast has three separate Spider-Men in it. Yuri, Josh, and Robbie.
