For citizens of the Ken Empire, justice is a myth. Lord Keiro, the deranged Shogun of the Imperial Army, blazes a trail of terror across the countryside in search of the sacred sword that will make him a god. Standing in his way is Taito, an omnipotent star reborn in human form - a young hero who vows to use his celestial strength to avenge those slaughtered by the villainous Shogun.
Taito's mystical powers steer him toward a violent showdown with Keiro, and if used recklessly, his newfound abilities could shred the very fabric of his being. To master the art of control and become a heroic martial artist, Taito must seek the guidance of others like him: the seven star-born warriors with the strength to shatter a corrupt empire.

Editor's Review
“Hero Tales”, also known as “Juushin Enbu”, is an action-packed anime that takes viewers on a thrilling journey through a world filled with magic and mystery.
The story revolves around Taito, a star reborn in human form, who possesses celestial strength and vows to use it to avenge those slaughtered by the villainous Shogun, Lord Keiro. Taito’s mystical powers steer him toward a violent showdown with Keiro, and if used recklessly, his newfound abilities could shred the very fabric of his being.
Taito is your typical big-hearted and small-brained overly righteous teenage hero with a big appetite. His sister often finds herself in distress, adding to the drama and tension of the series. The rest of the characters have their purpose but felt they were created partially to be each other’s foil.
The animation quality of “Hero Tales” is commendable, especially during the fight sequences between Taito and Kiero. The series also offers some terrific discourse between Taito and the emperor.
One of the standout aspects of “Hero Tales” is its unique blend of action and fantasy. The series manages to maintain a balance between serious battles and humorous scenarios, making it an engaging watch.
The anime has a generic Shonen feel to it but manages to stand out due to its plot twists. The plot elements are thoroughly explored, providing depth to the storyline. The series also does an excellent job of integrating action and adventure elements into the narrative.
In conclusion, “Hero Tales” is a captivating anime that offers an engaging blend of humor, adventure, and fantasy. With its well-developed characters, consistent pacing, and unique plot twists, it provides an entertaining viewing experience that leaves you wanting more.
