This was an anime that many people recommended for me to check out and follow for the winter 2026 anime season! So let me tell you that everyone tha recommended this anime made a great choice because I’m really enjoying it so far
The 2nd episode just released today and at first I wasn’t sure but after finishing the 2nd episode I definitely plan to keep up with this anime. Sentenced To Be A Hero is about a guy by the name of Xylo who is sentenced to become a hero which is actually a punishment and not something to be celebrated. I found this to be an interesting concept and it made me continue watching.
Also one thing that was surprising was that the first episode was a whopping 58 minutes. I was thinking it was going to be 25-30 mins but whe I saw that 58 minutes it stopped me in my tracks. The 58 minutes was worth it to me since it did give me a chance to really find out more about the world. But I gave it until the end of the 2nd episode to really give my first impression since fantasy shows can sometimes need some time for me to get into them.
Overall I really think others should check out the anime because os far it’s really good and the premise is quite interesting. Check out the video linked to below to listen to my first impression.
