What happens when the power of music becomes humanity’s last line of defense?
That’s the central question driving The Sound of Heroes, a new anime that fuses idol culture with supernatural warfare. Episode 1 wastes no time throwing us into its high-energy world and while it stumbles in a few spots, it sets the stage for something truly unique.
In the universe of The Sound of Heroes, music isn’t just art, it’s a weapon. The world is under threat from mysterious beings known as Mirages, and the only ones capable of fighting them are SI-VIS, a co-ed idol group that channels the collective energy of their audience into raw power.
We meet Kyoya, a determined newcomer who dreams of joining the group, and Yosuke, their stoic leader. But during a major concert, things take a dark turn when a Mirage attacks mid-performance. Suddenly, the stage lights become battleground flares, and Kyoya’s dream turns into a fight for survival.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger that blurs the line between performance and heroism, leaving us with more questions than answers, but plenty of reason to tune in again.
Mixing idol performances with supernatural combat sounds like a gimmick on paper but it works. The series balances spectacle and symbolism, showing how the energy of performance can literally become power.
Episode 1 shines in its production. The concert scenes are dynamic, with sweeping camera work and powerful lighting that transform music into motion. The soundtrack slaps, too every beat and note feels tied to the characters’ emotions.
Kyoya’s passion and Yosuke’s cold professionalism make for a strong contrast. You can already feel a mentor-student tension building, hinting that their partnership will be the heart of the series.
We still don’t fully understand what Mirages are or why music affects them. It’s intriguing, but some viewers may find the vagueness frustrating.
It’s visually striking, musically charged, and full of potential. Episode 1 doesn’t answer all its questions, but it delivers enough heart, spectacle, and mystery to earn a spot on your watchlist.
It’s the kind of premiere that feels like a live concert: loud, emotional, and just a bit chaotic, but impossible to look away from.
