Anime series To Be Hero X premieres April 5 on Crunchyroll. The series will air both in Japanese with English subtitles and an English dub the same day. This is a world where heroes are created by people’s trust, and the hero who gains the most trust is known as X. In this world, people’s trust can be quantified through data, and these values are reflected on everyone’s wrist. As long as one gains enough trust points, an ordinary person can possess superpowers and become a superhero who saves the world. However, the constantly changing trust values make the path of a hero full of uncertainties. While the previous two series in the franchise, To Be Hero and To Be Heroine stream on Crunchyroll in Japanese with English subtitles, the new series stands on its own.
Earnhardt premieres Memorial Day Weekend on Prime Video. The history of the Earnhardt family is the history of NASCAR – you can’t tell the story of one without the other – and at the center of the Earnhardt family was Dale Earnhardt Sr., the most influential figure the sport has ever known. A charismatic, working-class hero to millions of fans, Dale Sr. spent the better part of two decades as the most visible figure in stock car racing, breaking through the confines of the sport’s regional fan base to mainstream notoriety, racking up millions in endorsement deals from Coca-Cola to Wheaties, and appearing on daytime TV and late-night talk shows. From one generation to the next, racing would bring the Earnhardt family together, but it wasn’t always an easy road. Now, with unparalleled access and never before seen archival material, the docuseries promises a profound, revealing, and definitive account of a historic American family.

Prime Video has ordered three part docuseries Taurasi. The series chronicles the extraordinary story of basketball legend Diana Taurasi, whose relentless pursuit of greatness has transcended the boundaries of sport. Pioneer. Iconoclast. G.O.A.T. These words – and more – describe the remarkable arc of basketball legend Diana Taurasi, whose personal and professional journey to the top of her sport are truly singular. Highlighted by three NCAA Championships at the University of Connecticut, three Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) titles with the Phoenix Mercury, six Olympic gold medals, and six Euroleague crowns, Taurasi established a new standard for excellence, crafting a resume – and creating an on-court style – that may never be equaled. Taurasi’s journey to the top has been as complex as it is remarkable. Fiercely competitive and unapologetic, she has navigated scrutiny both on and off the court, including stints playing abroad in Russia and Turkey. Through it all, her unwavering loyalty to teammates and devotion to family have defined her just as much as her brilliant and fearless style of play. Now, through incisive, remarkably candid interviews with Taurasi, her relatives, teammates, coaches, journalists and others who’ve witnessed her path first-hand, this three-part documentary series, titled Taurasi, will reveal an at once funny, defiant, vulnerable, and deeply relatable athlete, whose authenticity and commitment to greatness have revolutionized women’s basketball.
