Sternbild City is home to people called "Next," who use their special abilities to protect the people as superheroes. These heroes solve cases and save lives so they can wear sponsor logos or acquire "hero points." Their activities are documented on the popular program "Hero TV," which picks the "King of Heroes" in a yearly ranking. The veteran hero Wild Tiger has always preferred to work alone, but now he's been assigned the rookie Barnaby Brooks Jr., who has a different perspective on being a superhero.

At first I wasn't sure what kind of anime this would be considering all summary tells you is that it's about people with super powers and they are on some tv series being "heroes". It sounds ridiculous, but at the same time I thought it did sound a little interesting so I watched the first episode, and then the next, and then the next and so on. Before i knew it I was anxiously awaiting the next episode to air and was completely taken in. The story sounds a bit strange and deviates from the normal action anime in the fact that it's not about some kid who had some hidden power and goes off to live some kind of awesome destiny. This show is about adults with hidden powers! haha, but yea, it is a bit more mature in the sense that they are just trying to make a living and if they so happen to save the city to make that living, then so be it.
This was a really awesome anime that was done very well. I hope many people watch it and get as much enjoyment out of it as I have.
