posted on by Alex Mateo
Funimation announced on Friday that it will stream SUPER HXEROS, the television anime of Ryōma Kitada's Dokyū Hentai HxEros manga, starting on July 3 as part of the summer 2020 season. Funimation will stream the censored broadcast version from Aniplex of America. The company began streaming an English-subtitled trailer:
The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, and AT-X on July 3; on MBS on July 4; and on TV Aichi on July 6.
The manga's story begins when an unknown invader known as the "Kiseichū" (wordplay on the Japanese word for "parasite") invades Earth and begins robbing people of the source of their erotic "H energy," depriving them of the will to live. Retto Enjō, a high school boy, joins the hero organization HxEros, and alongside four beautiful high school girls, will save the Earth from the alien threat.
Masato Jinbo (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei!) is directing the anime at project No.9, and Akitomo Yamamoto (The Girl in Twilight sub-character designer and chief animation director) is serving as character designer. Jinbo is also overseeing the series scripts.
HXEROS SYNDROMES — a new special unit produced by the rock band BURNOUT SYNDROMES for this anime with Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as a featured artist — is performing the anime's opening theme song "Wake Up Hx ERO! feat. Retto Enjō (Matsuoka Yoshitsugu)." Ai Kakuma is performing the ending theme song "lost emotion" as her character Kirara Hoshino.
Kitada launched the manga in Shueisha's Jump SQ. magazine in April 2017. The manga has 900,000 copies in print.
