Content warning: This review is SFW, and there are no screenshots, but if you're 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. That's when I knew "Oh I gotta review this one." And so here I am.

There's a Roger Ebert review that I love of Shaolin Soccer. In that review, he explains that his rating system is relative. I won't go in-depth with his examples to keep this on topic, but it's a philosophy important to bring up when reviewing Super HxEros. If you are here reading these words, you're not interested in knowing how I think this compares to Mob Psycho 100 or Ranking of Kings. You're 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. It's the name of the game that I signed up for. If you watch episode 1 and hate it, you're not going to like the rest of the series so I suggest dropping it. If you don't 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 don't 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 they're starring together in an ECCHI? That is a sign that there is zero shame to be had. That's 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 it's a harem consists of one boy and four girls) that fight against bug monsters that have invaded to suck up our "H-energy". The Super HxEros use their own H-energy 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 full-on hentai.

How's the animation? All things considering, pretty good. Yeah it has that "early 2020s" look to it, and if you're a stickler for high quality animation then I can't imagine this winning you over, but considering how LOW the bar is for ecchi comedies with extreme amounts of fanservice (that aren't borderline porn), I'd say Super HxEros looks good to me. The same can be said for the sound. Nothing noteworthy, the music isn't special (and that's fine, it's only a problem if it's distractingly bad and it isn't), though I have to admit that both the OP and the ED go much harder than they have any right to. I won't be listening to them outside of the show, but I can recognize a good bop when I hear it.

It's hard for me to explain this without spoiling scenes (which I don't want to do) or showing screenshots (which I'm 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 isn't. It doesn't try to be serious in any way, it has lore but it doesn't expect you to care. I certainly didn't. 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 it's not. And this goes for all media, not just anime. It's 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 you'll 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. It's 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.
