Don't watch this anime!!
First of all, it's not a comedy anime as stated, but a drama.
And it's not a good sequel to To Be Hero either. Even though the story takes place in the same universe and we can see the two characters again in prequel.
Another mistake—though not the most serious—is that there are only 7 episodes, not 12 as mentioned.
Anyway, check it out only if you like dramas. What I liked were the action scenes, which were really well executed. Other than that, that's it!!
I started this anime to fell better, unfortunately it's make wirst.

This is far more complicated than it appears. Give it a shot if you want something slightly out of left field, specifically something with a bit of absurdity and a bit of heart. Saying anything more will ruin some of the impact, so perhaps just watch the series if you're on the fence. The only catch is that you have to get over the half way mark to even start to appreciate what's going on. Essentially this is an anime that uses the surreal comedy, isekai and school life genres to tell a story about dealing with trauma and growing up. I was engaged and enjoyed it, but its not without issues. Primarily I feel the plot got overcomplicated and silly, it wasn't surreal or heartfelt but just a bit daft.
I still believe this is worth a watch as it's different and feels creative. It's different,…

Writing this review partially to clear up something: there are some people who are confused because the series is listed as having 12 episodes, but there are only 7 if you try to watch it. This is because the original 12-episode Chinese version was converted into 7 episodes for the Japanese version, I think due to having unusual episode lengths or something. The series was also heavily edited in that process, which is why pacing in certain scenes might feel a bit strange.
Anyway, the review: For me, the show's main selling points were its animation and story. The animation is seriously good, with the show going all out with flashy fight scenes especially. As for the story, I had positive expectations because I'd seen its predecessor, To Be Hero. The story of To Be Heroine was clearly made…

I was so close to dropping this anime after 3 episodes. But, I decided to keep going. And oh boy was it worth it. The animation is fantastic and the story is even better. From the 4th episode and onward, the anime is really amazing. You should watch it.
The last episode was by far the best, and it was very hard to hold back my tears. The character progression is overwhelming, and I do not regret not dropping this anime. Its only a measly 7 episodes to watch, and will only take about 2 hours to watch all of it. You wont regret it.

As someone who never wrote a review before, it speaks volumes that this anime makes me want to put one together. At first, I only wanted to watch it because it looked like an isekai, but it turned out to be so much more. It starts off in a way that doesn’t give away what’s about to come. As the episodes go on, things start to take a turn and the whole story line takes a big leap from a happy show to a heart wrenching one, about grief and moving on. A lot of people give up on the anime because of the language, but I didn’t find it bothering at all. It’s a beautiful story with a great message. Although the whole thing about clothes seemed a bit strange at first, towards the end it became clear what the meaning behind it was. The clothes were used as a metaphor, the less clothes you wore, the…

This is quite interesting piece. The plot is quite entertaining and it can give you that emotional kick if you will turn a blind eye on some of the more silly ideas.
The review has some minor spoilers, if it offends you please stop further reading. It is also my first review so I am hoping it will be useful to someone, who does not know whether to watch the series.
The main premise of fighting with your clothes is kind of interesting, could be done better as not many characters have any accent of the cloth they come from, or it is not very visible. But really it does not inflect plot that much, is there as more of a device to convey the story, but quickly after being introduced it sort of dissapears from it. Tiny bit of fanservis is also only present at the beginning.
Despite that, th…

7 Episodes; 1 Powerful Anime.
While the first 3 episodes can be off putting and a little weird I ended up coming back to this anime today and picking back up from where I left off at episode 4, and I really regret having dropped it when it first came out.
The first three episodes feel mindless in comparison but once the latter half of it picks up, boy do you get one hell of a heart wrenching anime that will punch you in the face with emotion in that moment of watching it. In retrospect looking back on it somethings don't make full sense or feel a little rushed but that doesn't take away from how I felt while viewing this story. If you're unsure about watching it just stomach through the first three episodes, you'll love it.

Don't know why a lot of other people are saying its only 7 episodes when I watched 12; also don't know why a lot of people are saying its mixed languages? I watched it in Chinese?
(Edit: so the MC found herself in another world, but from what I watched everyone spoke Chinese except for one person who spoke Japanese - the clone of the gun dude - and to my understanding, that was for comedic effect. I'm really starting to wonder if what I watched matches what everyone else did...)
BE WARNED. You might think that this an action donghua with bits of comedy from what is shown in the beginning; it's not. I don't want to spoil anything, but this is far from a comedy. It almost seems to try to intentionally mislead you into thinking its a comedy in the first few episodes (there are lots of jokes…

First, this is a Chinese produced anime, or in whatever term you prefer to use. I won't be writing any spoilers, and simply my own opinions regarding the anime and the differences between the Chinese and Japanese version.
The story is put into a rather complicated order, it's basically from the fantasy part, to drama, back to comedy and fantasy only to move back to drama. Which continues only to end with 3 episodes (original Chinese version) of drama and a rather decent fight scene.
As someone who's watched both the after editing Japanese version with only 7 episodes and the original Chinese version with 12 episodes. I would personally say that it would be more enjoyable to watch it in the original version. Legit. To be allowed to be broadcasted in the Japanese TV, you need to have at le…

I can't believe this anime made me write my first ever anime review when I can just review other shows that I've watched.
To be honest I'm not sure if it's good because I haven't heard any of my friends talk about a studio called "Haoliners Animation League" and the Synopsis is kinda confusing so at first I listened to the opening song in youtube and it's unexpectedly..... good ,so I decided to watch it (yeah I'm a person who decides what anime to watch by it's op song).
And DAMN I don't regret that decision,this anime suprised me with it's story, I thought it's just another Comedy,Super Power anime but NO!!,the drama caught me off guard even my little brother cried when we watched it.
The art is good ,I'm just not used to it's style but I think it makes the fight scenes more awesome.…

DO NOT HESITATE BECAUSE OF THE SYNOPSIS OR THE REVIEWS!!!
It's one of the anime where the 3 episode rule help a lot. I'm here because i totally enjoyed 'To Be Hero' with its unique story and amazing key animation.
The wacky and comedy atmosphere of the first few episodes can kill it for you. but i promise, endure it and you will not miss a great series.
starting with an absurd and stupid story, making no sense at all in a seems like cheaply made animation. The simple and low budget yet beautiful animation lures me. After some absurd and idiotic conversation, yet funny to some degree...
WHOAAA IT'S A FIGHT!! WHOAAA WHAT IS THAT!! WHOAA THE HYPE!! WHOOAAA THE KEY ANIMATION!!!
that's what happened the first time i see the fight. wonderfully keyed, making me remember 'to be hero' last epi…

I normally never write reviews, simply because if you're gonna like it - you will. If you're not - you won't. BUT this review is only to let you know, the person who isn't sure if they should watch this yet, or the person who is confused three episodes in, that yes... you should finish it. It's only seven episodes, with a weak budget. But comparatively to the full season, big budget assembly line anime we watch every day 'To Be Heroine' is a refreshing change of pace.
The animation is sloppy, the voice acting is hard to listen to and the story is so strange off the bat. BUT WAIT before you realize it you're caught up in a story you didn't realize you were, invested in characters you just met and getting all emotional at those final credits.
If you've got a couple hours to spare, you'll…

To Be Heroine is a hit or miss kind of show. Either you didn´t got or enjoyed the underlaying darker tones camouflaged in extremely vivid colours and animation, wired plot (babies fighting almost naked and clothes are magical weapons = wired), and the mixed Japanese/Chinese audio. Or you totally got it and/or enjoyed said combination. As you can guess from the score I gave the show I belong to the later category. Actually, I think To Be Heroine may have been spring 2018´s best contribution in my eyes and ears. I started to watch it on a whim after seeing the PV. Worth to note is that I usually not go for the combo of Super power and Comedy. But something had peaked my interest, and I was very surprised of how much I enjoyed To Be Heroine.
Somethings can be good to know in advance. In writ…

I am not truly sure which part of this series annoyed me the most. Perhaps the half-Japanese half-Chinese voice acting which served no purpose in the series whatsoever. The Chinese parts were not acted in any sense of the word, instead just spoken in the most monotonous and personality-lacking way imaginable.
Our main character was not much better. Heroine-chan is simply uninteresting and boring. Basically every 5th word in her dialog is "sorry", which would be somewhat meme if she was Canadian. Every time she forms a sentence, she takes the first part of the sentence back and starts over from the beginning. I fail to see how this is supposed to serve the series or her character. It feels annoying and nothing more.
The story is just stupid. Our heroine needs to be a heroine because that'…

Not sure why it says 12 episodes when it's actually 7 but whatever.
The synopsis doesn't actually describe what this show really is. It way more then that. It starts off just like what the synopsis says but it's only for like 3 episodes and then shit happens fast. I don't want to spoil it but it has some really good drama that happens. Starts off funny, insane, and stupid but then transforms into something else as if to hide the true nature of the show in the later episodes.
It's only 7 episodes but it's action packed basically every second of the show. It is a little bit predictable and cliche but I feel like they did the cliche's well and even though it's predictable it's still a lot of fun to watch. I started watching this show on a whim and I'm so glad I did because it was amazing.…
