The original anime series, Hero Mask, premiered on Netflix back in 2018. The action/mystery series was developed at Studio Pierrot and was written and directed by Hiroyasu Aoki and ran for two seasons.
The series follows a hot-blooded officer on a mystery to stop a murderer, while also tackling the problem of masks that give people superpowers. While the series deals with multiple different genres at once, the balance works in the series favor, making it a hit on the streaming service.
The 24 episode anime featured a lot of stunning animations to match the superpowers that were on display with the series. At first, the average viewer may have assumed that the series was based on a comic of sorts; however, the series had never crossed onto that platform; until now!
