About Hero Bank

Meet Hero Bank (ヒーローバンク), an action, comedy and sci-fi anime by TMS Entertainment (2014). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: The anime centers around Kaito, an elementary school boy who is suddenly burdened with 10 billion yen (about US$100 million) in debt one day. The only way he can pay off the debt is to master "Hero-Gi" (downloaded off the net) and win matches in "Hero Battle," a new-generation cyber sport.

Further in, the tagline of the game "Change your money with justice!"

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Nagare Amano (Hiroshi Kamiya) and Kaito Goushou (Yuuko Sanpei) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 51 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
