Sentenced to Be a Hero had a showstopping first episode, and now we're getting ready for the party's next mission. Episode 2 is taking Xylo and the crew through underground mines, and the preview looks like it's going to maintain that same energy from the premiere. What's really cool is that the anime is doing a series of "location visuals" to tease where the hero party will be traveling - it's a nice touch that gives us a preview of the world-building to come. The new location visual features Xylo, goddess Teoritta, Norgalle Senridge, and Tatsuya ready to delve into those mines. With Hiroyuki Takashima (Mushoku Tensei animation director) at the helm, the production quality looks solid.
