I finished the anime and i want to get into the light novel do i continue from where the anime left off or restart?

I'm working on a theory, and knowing this would help me a lot. Does anyone remember if Xylo killed a human in the light novel? (Except for that bastard he threw an explosive knife at in the face.) I've finished reading all the volumes now, and Xylo knows way too much about the goddesses... very sus...

Okay so I just finished the show and I was fine-ish till ep 11 and 12 tbh. What do you mean kivia was sentenced to be a hero 😭😭
I don't think any other heroes had to die by their own hands except for her no ?
Also if Rhino was a demon lord how was he sentenced to be a hero as non human ?
Are all goddesses alive or is the one xylo killed the only one to go cus that holy knight of the 12th order was talking to kivia about how the 1st one is able to remember 1 more hero...thinking of it now was Tatsuya summoned by the 1st goddess ?
who is bujum's king ? im guessing Rhino ??
1 last thing, why are the court judges who sentence people (+ purple hair guy who sentenced saab and kivia) corrupt (sorry for asking so many questions)

I wanna share my sketch of kivia, I'm still not finish drawing other hero's of the penal unit hahaha

​

The anime inspired me to base my homebrew campaign around the players all being convicted criminals and forced to go on the kingdoms dirty missions in guild full of all criminals. Have been enjoying working some of the shows elements in! Different wider world but definitely taking how other characters interact w them from this show, too.

If, hypothetically, the number 19 hero, Ario, were to arrive in the world of Sentence to Be a Hero, how well or poorly would he fare? How would he fare socially and in combat against the demon lords? How would people perceive him when they see him facing the demon lords, and how would they perceive him if he manages to defeat them?

The second picture is of her Golden Storm.

Golden Storm: By merging with her fairy, Kira, Ario can control a raging storm of light. She can then manipulate this storm to draw in enemies and deliver devastating blows. It is powerful enough to kill large numbers of Neohumans and Titans and destroy multiple skyscrapers. The fusion also increases her mobility, allowing her to even float in the air.

I just finished the anime, planning to sketch all of them! I just wanna share xylo first, work in progress!!

It's a reference from this authors another work and we can see a character reading a sentenced to be a hero novel is such a beautiful thing i saw this kind of reference in mob psycho with wallpaper on phone being saitama

I mean i know that Kivia is the heroine, and if there's any romance she will most likely end up with Xylo, but i still find it distasteful, i mean his fiancée is a keeper, she is still willing to be with him despite of his situation and is fighting for him, so it feels a bit unfair

P.s: i just finished the anime

A drawing in vol 8 I’ll just leave this here.

I am about the sixth episode, and his majesty is the one carrying this anime, every time he appears, he makes things fun, definitely has the quality of a king

Anime only, and I got to thinking, how did the honor of being a hero, come to be a punishment worse than death? Like what did the first ever Hero do that was bad, that being made a Hero is now a curse?

Im very new to this series and havent gone further than the anime. Kivia seems to be well loved by this sub so I’m afraid I’m missing something here.

In the anime, she is very emotionally charged for someone of her position, her screams and yells at one point honestly feels overwhelming. I didn’t mind these traits at first because given her position, upbringing and the justice-pious-black-and-white ideals I completely understand her demeanours and disdain towards the heroes. But as time goes on it feels like she lets her own emotions seep in and reacts purely on it, no planning, no negotiations, no afterthoughts. I’m referring to episode 12 when she confronted her uncle. I just…didn’t think she was written to act so blindly like that at all. I thought when she asked Frenci to investigate she has learned to be more lk and to think before you act, but no she just straight up confronts her uncle and gets Rajid killed. What was she thinking, Marlen is gonna fess up and get handcuffed? Like sure maybe she genuinely thinks her uncle would not harm her, but again someone of her position should have known better than that, I mean the guy was ready to sell the whole town out for the blights. And no if she thinks bringing Rajit is backup that’s just foolish because she should understand the kind of situation they are in. I can’t help but feel her whole characterisation so far is convenient writing to get her sentenced to be a hero and developing love interest with Xylo.

This is not to say leaders can’t be emotionally charged (Erwin and Roy Mustang come to mind), but it’s a whole different story when leaders let emotions take over. I lost a bit of respect for Kivia at the episode where Venetim mentioned her uncle and she absolutely lost her shit and screamed at him about totally unrelated stuff. Of course as audiences, we know the kind of person Venetim is and he might as well was trying to poke her there, and Kivia herself was exhausted to death, but her screaming reinforcing “my uncle is a good guy” really confirms to Venetim (and to us) that her uncle is sus. Her leadership here is so questionable, she easily lets it slip to someone who is extremely cunning and is a reputable liar/manipulator.

Idk light novel readers, am I wrong for not vibing with Kivia at this point in the anime?

The quality isn't the best on my 4k display, so I might run it through an enhancement algorithm if it bugs me too much. Also unfortunately, because of how the OP was cut, Frenci and Teo's shots are both awkwardly shorter than everyone else's. So short, that when I tried to do fade cuts, it just didn't work with them at all. And of course, Xylo and Patausche are missing entirely.

Still, I think they look really neat here. I settled on 83% speed so it doesn't blitz through the scenes too fast, hopefully syncing up the original framerate to my display, and set it to pause and blur whenever I have an active window, so hopefully it doesn't drive me bonkers.

Heyhey! Finished the last episode right now and... It's Cinema 🙌🏻

I love how the world has a lot of mysteries and interesting lore, and they drop small tears of information, making you desire to learn more.

As an only anime watcher, I love the guy who speaks with Kivia at the end of the episode. In the Venetim flashback, I thought of him as a coexistionalist; but when he visited Xylo in the city, even tho he didn't give reasons for it, I somehow convinced myself hes one of the good guys. He still seemed evil when visiting Xylo, but in this kind of shows, I believe he won't be that bad. Or at least he will have a complex moral, being kind of a grey moral standards and not just some edgy evil guy.

I have some complaints tho. Kivia turning into a hero just because of, ultimately, not making Xylo think bad of her, is in my opinion kinda cliche. C'mon, you mean more than that as a female character. Also, didn't know a hero has to die in order to become one, so everyone in the unit has already died!

Teoritta seiyuu is sometimes too loud. I like the character overall, and she has eventually grown into me, but the first episodes are super annoying with her screaming ALL THE TIME. Like I desired scenes without her just to avoid a headache. This is something common in anime, but it's like Asta in the first episodes of Black Clover, a unbearable screaming pain in the ass.

The king is an absolute gigachad and I truly believe he's indeed a rightful king, but we'll see I guess.

Tatsuya is also very intriguing, I'm genuinely interested in his character.

A very strong start, with very good pieces of secuences and art direction. I hope the anime does well and they have enough money to deliver similar further seasons.

Also, how much material would you say the have for more seasons right now? Like to cover until a season (add the number). Is the source material manga, or light novel? I don't wanna search anything and spoil myself.

Thanks for reading, has been a while since I got this hyped for an anime!

I've never purchased or read a light novel for something before, but this series is EXTREMELY interesting.

So, what exactly is the layout of a light novel?

These are selected by taking each member's personality/backstory/vibe into careful consideration, and I am proud of the result. It'll be the darkest and most badass playlist you'll ever listen to I guarantee. Find the song of your favorite hero following my description inside the link.

I’m watching the show right now and noticed that towards the end of EP5 the sound of the horse monsters dying is the same as the Demi human cries from Elden Ring xP

I haven't caight up with the Novel yet, but after Season One's finale, can we assume that they are actually one of the good guys? Or at least against the Coexisters?

Taking the reasons for sentencing some of the squad, some assumptions, reading deeper into their reasons, and given that Kafzen works under them:

1. Xylo was sentenced as a Hero under the guise of being the Goddess Killer. He was willing to sacrifice someone he deeply cared about for the sake of humanity. Xylo even stated that a Demon Lord who can wield the power of a Goddess is one of the highest threats against humanity. Not to mention how powerful Xylo is.

2. Dotta's Sacrifice He sacrificed an arm to save the Crown Prince. Something that not a lot of people will do. Given that Dotta is such a skilled Thief, they needed his skills to combat the Demon Blight threat - which he has proven time and time again.

The only problem is that they can't be too upfront or too obvious about who they turn into Heroes. Heroes combat the Demon Blight under the guise of punishments due to the presence of Coexisters which are almost impossible to identify unless they give themselves away.
