Anime fights make your heart race. And Solo Leveling totally smashed it with those epic fights; it was somewhere between 10,000 to 15,000 frames per episode, where you could feel every punch and sword thrust leaping off the screen, and had you glued to your seat.

But hold it right there, there is a new contender on the field that has got fans amped. Lord of Mysteries has entered this ‘frame game’ of anime, as it has got some serious frame counts in each episode, according to some new revelations.

This show is already looking like it could surpass some of Solo Leveling‘s best parts by mixing a killer story with stellar visuals that have already got the anime community all hyped up even before its release.

Jaw-dropping animation that might just outshine Solo Leveling

Apparently, Lord of Mysteries has 30,000 frames per episode. That is twice what Solo Leveling brought to...

People were waiting for over 2 years since the official Bilibili YouTube channel released its first promotional concept movie, and honestly, there couldn’t have been a better start for To Be Hero X. With its 3rd episode finally out now, it seems things are only starting to escalate from here on.

Who would have expected a Chinese Donghua to top the popularity charts, going head-to-head even against ongoing popular Japanese anime? The storyline looks promising, and the characters are all to die for; the animation is totally out of this world.

But, on top of all that, the fact that To Be Hero X (Season 1 presumably) will have 24 back-to-back episodes is making fans even more excited.

Why don’t studios understand that 12 episodes aren’t enough for an anime season?

For whatever reason, modern anime has come to a point where you cannot expect the first season of the series to have more than 12 episodes.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for To Be Hero X Episode 1.

When I tuned into To Be Hero X, all I knew was that it’s a superhero series with awesome animation. I had a hunch, just a small one, that it would take me down the same path The Boys did, and I also wholeheartedly believed that Nice would be just another Homelander. While it is too early for me to form any conclusions on either of those, I can say with great assurance that the first episode was everything I had hoped for and more.

The animation caught me off guard in the best way possible. What do you mean this is an anime? I need more anime like that. I know Lord of Mysteries is another donghua to get an upcoming anime, and if anything, this just gave me more confidence.

Fans had hoped that The Beginning After the End would become their best summer watch this year and revive the Isekai genre for the best. However, after the first episode dropped, that dream went down the drain.
