Do you Enjoy Stories Of Heroism And Meeting People With Amazing Powers? If You Also Like Watching Anime, Then Join Us In Introducing A List Of Hero Anime.

When discussing superhero-themed comic books, one rarely thinks of manga and anime. Meanwhile, many of these entertaining products have exciting action sequences and a spectacular display of extraordinary and incredible powers.

However, few people think of anime characters when they think of superheroes. Maybe because we don’t usually see these characters in traditional superhero costumes, they don’t need to wear capes, masks, or gloves to show off their powers. In some cases, their appearance is even more innocent than we imagine.

Among the best hero anime, we can mention Dragon Ball anime, Naruto Shippuden anime, Flamenco Samurai, Hiroman anime, and Charlotte anime.

For many years, anime and manga production activists have tried to depict attractive and inspiring hero stories. Stories that can be a source of inspiration for other enthusiasts to create new and more spectacular examples.

Thus, he follows a modeling career during the day, but at night he dresses up as a hero and fights crime under the alias Flamenco Samurai.

The use of special weapons helps his ability to fight crime and gradually attracts more attention.

Like many famous American superheroes, the story of Heroman anime is somehow related to Stan Lee.

Of course, this does not stop him from fighting for a better future. Along the way, Kotetsu meets “Barnaby Brooks” (Bonnie), and these two enter the field side by side to fight crime and form a joint partnership.

Tiger and Bunny’s anime is unique in looking at the world of heroes. In this world, everything is focused on sponsorships, as if superheroes are the stars of the sports world. To stay in this attractive business, they must focus on their heroic qualities, shine in the role of celebrities, and present a new meaning of being a hero. On the other hand, the use of the two names Tiger and Bunny, one of which refers to a predatory animal and the other to a beautiful and tame animal, is a solid and compelling idea that adds to the beauty of the story of this anime.

Anime A Certain Scientific Railgun

• Genre: action, comedy
• Publication time: 2009
• Average rating of A Certain Scientific Railgun on IMDB: 7.5

A unique science accelerator anime should be considered a spin-off of Kazuma Kamachi’s light novel, which deals with events that happened more than what is mentioned in the book. The story is about a high school girl named Mikoto Misaka who lives in Academy City, where 80% of the population comprises students. Of course, they are not ordinary students but people with superhuman and unique abilities. Meanwhile, Mikoto is a kind of prodigy who can control the flow of electricity.

11- Charlotte anime

Anime Charlotte

• Genre: Drama, Family
• Publication time: 2016 to 2017
• Charlotte’s average rating on IMDB: is 7.5

Have you ever thought that if superheroes suffered from some time limit or any other kind of limitation in using their powers, how would they be able to carry out their heavy duties and responsibilities? For example, what would the world be like if Spider-Man’s powers only lasted five minutes or if Flash could only move in one direction? Well, this is the issue that is addressed in the Charlotte anime.

The story is about a comet that passes by the Earth every 75 years and, in the meantime, gives extraordinary powers to children worldwide. Of course, this unique power has many limitations. For example, a teenager named “Yu Otosaka” can take control of another person’s body for five seconds. This is the foundation of the superhero story that the Charlotte anime presents to the audience, wrapped in genius and limitations.

Charlotte is one of those animes you are unlikely to get tired of watching; even after finishing it, you will want to watch it again from the beginning.

10- Evil Man anime

Devilman Crybaby anime

• Genre: Action, Drama
• Publication date: 2018
• Average rating of Devilman Crybaby on IMDB: is 7.6

You might not expect such an anime with such a theme to be among the hero animes, but the evil man is rightfully an excellent example of the appearance of superheroes in the anime world. Despite having one of the most bitter endings in anime history, Evil Man is a famous and memorable work—an anime based on Go Nagai’s Evil Man manga.

The story of this anime is about a young man named “Akira Fudo.” Akira lives in a seemingly ordinary world, although demons continue to live in the corners of this world and the shadows. One day Akira’s childhood friend Ryu takes him to an underground nightclub where monsters and humans are having fun together. This is where the protagonist is attacked by a creature called Amon. However, Akira has a strong will, and although he looks like Amon, he can control his behavior. He kills the demons and saves the life of his friend Rio. He may now have the supernatural abilities of monsters, but he tries to use them to save humanity and protect his friends and loved ones.

The unique animation style and attractive fight scenes are among the reasons that make the evil man anime a noteworthy work that can attract both fans of horror and dark fantasy and lovers of action and action scenes.

9- Silver Moon anime

Anime Sailor Moon

• Genre: Action, Adventure
• Publication time: 1992 to 1997
• Average rating of Sailor Moon on IMDB: 7/7

Silver Moon revolves around the life of Usagi Tsukino, a kitten who is the reincarnation of a princess named Serenity. Along with the reincarnation of his guardians known as the Sailor Senshi, he is tasked with protecting his planet against the onslaught of ancient civilizations, empires, destroyers, an evil circus, and of course, a cosmic overlord who seeks to destroy the entire galaxy.

Since its first release in the early 1990s, Silver Moon anime quickly became famous and popular, and over the years, we have seen its profound influence on other anime productions. The characters of this anime were noticed and became symbolic, and in this way, only the characters of anime like Pokemon and Dragon Ball could compete with them. The popularity of these characters and the creation of unforgettable moments have made Silver Moon always occupy a special place among the best anime of all time.

8- Anime Gachman (Gachman)

Anime Gatchaman

• Genre: Action, Adventure
• Publication time: 1972-1974
• Average rating of Gatchaman on IMDB: 7/8

In the Gatchman anime, we get to know Hajime Ichinose, who becomes one of the legendary protectors of Tachikawa by meeting a transcendent being. He is now known as Gachman and must act like a famous superhero and protect his loved ones and the lives of others. Of course, this is a stereotyped and repetitive pattern, but then, is the duty of a superhero anything other than this?

Hajime now has a heavy-duty, but he must be careful not to reveal his identity. Because anyway, the group of heroes is not supposed to be known, and the existence of this group must be kept secret. Of course, saving humanity is not limited to dealing with internal enemies; Gachman must also deal with some aliens who have attacked the city and endangered people’s lives. In short, Hajime has a heavy burden and must care for everyone.

7- Madoka Magica anime

Anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica

• Genre : Action, Adventure
• Publication time : 2011
• Average rating of Puella Magi Madoka Magica on IMDB : 2/8

Contrary to what it seems, the Madoka Magica anime is neither a work of the magical girl subgenre nor a full-fledged superhero series. This anime should be considered a psychological thriller with a dark background that points to the weaknesses of each character. However, Madoka Magica was a huge success and won several awards. The story of a group of high school girls, led by Madoka, who sign a contract with a supernatural being and pledge to protect humanity in exchange for gaining magical abilities.

The exciting thing about the Madoka anime is that it doesn’t insist on following the conventional elements of a superhero story. Even though the heroes of this anime are trying to save humanity, we don’t see them as heroes. They are portrayed as flawed people who must accept their weaknesses and new realities. Finally, if you enjoy following the story of heroes, don’t miss watching this anime. Be careful, though. Because when you least expect it, darkness takes over everything.

6- Saiki Ki’s disastrous life anime

Anime The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

• Genre: comedy, fantasy
• Publication time: 2018-2016
• The average score of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. on IMDB: is 3.8

Based on the manga series by Shuichi Aso, Saiki Kei’s Disastrous Life anime is easily one of the most entertaining entries on this list. The story of this fascinating anime takes place in a modern environment, where we get to know the character of Saiki. He is a high school boy who was born with many powers. Of course, as the anime title suggests, these powers have made his life extremely difficult. He can know what is going on in the minds of those around him and can control the weather, although his abilities are much more than these things.

These issues make Saiki prefer to spend her time alone, even though her classmates don’t give her such an opportunity. At the same time that Psyche tries to hide her feelings and unique abilities from others, in many cases, she saves the lives of her friends and the existence of this world from danger. Of course, this anime has little action space; however, if you like to watch closely behind the scenes of a hero’s efforts to save the world, this anime can be an ideal choice.

5- Anime My Heroic Academy (My Heroic School)

Anime My Hero Academia

• Genre: Action, Adventure
• Publication date: 2016
• Average rating of My Hero Academia on IMDB: 3.8

The popular My Hero Academia series specifically follows the life of a young boy named Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world full of people with extraordinary powers and abilities. This issue makes Midoriya dream of becoming a hero. Since his favorite hero is Almighty, Izuku would like to have a character similar to him. However, there is a problem that he is one of the few people in this world who has not benefited from special powers. But a chance meeting between him and his beloved idol Almighty provides him with an opportunity to enter one of the best schools of heroes. A place that prepares him to become an all-around fighter.

In the making of this anime, all the factors are arranged together so that sometimes we feel that this work is the product of the association of the world of Marvel heroes with the wizards of Hogwarts. We indeed see the same usual elements of such a world being used here, but what sets My Heroic High School anime apart from other works on this list is what is happening under the skin of action and fighting. The thing that deeply engages the viewer’s heart.

4- Yoyo Hakusho anime

Anime YuYu Hakusho

• Genre: Action, Adventure
• Publication time: 1992 to 1995
• Average rating of YuYu Hakusho on IMDB: is 8.5

His extraordinary sacrifice makes the elders of the spirit realm consider giving him another chance to live. In this way, he can take advantage of the chance to live again by performing specific tasks.

Guided by the god of death, Yoyosuke travels to Earth as a ghost detective to neutralize the presence of demons. Along the way, he recruits several other people to help him in his battle to preserve human existence.

3- One Punch Man anime

Anime One-Punch Man

• Genre: action, comedy
• Publication time: 2015 to 2019
• Average rating of One-Punch Man on IMDB: 7/8

The One Punch Man anime, based on a manga by Wan, takes an in-depth look at a heroic society. What will the world be like with the presence of numerous famous heroes? The main hero is Saitama, who is so powerful that he can defeat his tough opponents with just one punch. Of course, this great power is also the cause of his depression. Because he has had trouble finding a worthy opponent to challenge him, on the other hand, he is not well known, and his heroic actions are not seen much. Tired of this situation, Saitama changes his approach and tries to find a suitable opponent, expand his relationships with others, and, as the famous saying goes, be at the center of attention.

One Punch Man anime is an excellent combination of action and comedy. Therefore, it is not so strange that in every anime list with the presence of the best, its name must be mentioned.

2- Anime Naruto: Shippuden

Anime Naruto: Shippuden

• Genre: Action, Adventure
• Publication time: 2007 to 2017
• Average rating of Naruto: Shippuden on IMDB: 8/7

Undoubtedly, the Naruto manga and anime series is one of the world’s most famous heroic anime, which most or less the world knows or has heard of. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Naruto is one of the trademarks of Japanese culture.

Naruto is one of the attractive characters who has settled in the minds of the audience of the anime world like a pleasant legend. The story is about a young man named, short but full of courage, named Naruto, who seeks to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming the best ninja and is not afraid of any difficulties.

• Publication time: 1989 to 1996
• Average rating of Dragon Ball Z on IMDB: 8/8

Dragon Ball is an anime that made the childhood of many adults today more interesting than ever—the story of Goku, a diligent martial artist who trains as best to save the planet. Of course, the story is a bit more complicated in the new series of Dragon Ball. Here are the feet of thousands of worlds, some of which have been saved and some destroyed.

As this series’s primary and critical character, Goku is a lovable idiot. He passes up many good opportunities to prepare for the big battles ahead. He may seem naive, but he is a popular character who makes the most of his extraordinary instinct to reach the heights of success. He is as ready to sacrifice himself to save his child as he is to fight to save humanity and the world, which is one reason for this character’s popularity and the Dragon Ball anime.
