'Finally, The Best Football Story Is Back': Ao Ashi Anime Season 2 Officially Confirmed
Ao Ashi fans finally got the much-awaited announcement on Season 2 of the anime series. Here's all you need to know about it.
Super Cube Is About An Average Boy Who Stumbles Upon A High-Dimensional Artifact
An Underdog Who Rises Up To Become The Strongest
Based on a Chinese Manhua from Shuiluo Sheng Sheng, Super Cube is about a young boy, Wang Xiaoxiu, who is always scared to stand up against his bullies. However, after learning that this childhood crush, Shen Yao, also likes him, Wang somehow finds the courage. Wang doesn't take up the fight against bullies for himself but to defend the dignity of his would-be-girlfriend. But things take a rather unexpected turn when Wang comes across an other-dimensional artifact called Super Cube.
This Cube was possibly created by some higher-intelligence civilization that grants extraordinary abilities to its user. Instantly, after getting merged with the artifact, Wang is able to teleport to long distances. He also gets an incredible boost in power and speed, which makes the boy almost superhuman. There's one catch, though, Wang has to search for any form of gems or stones to unleash the cube's full potential. The more gems he collects for the cube, the stronger he gets.
Wang was having a great time exploring these newly-found powers, but before he could get fully accustomed to the Cube, tragedy befalls. Shen Yao gets kidnapped by Yan Luo, who also hires several super-abled humans to defend him. Apparently, a few years back, Shen Yao was saved by a mysterious man, Xigu Qin, from being kidnapped or possibly killed. That same mysterious man bullied Yan Luo and cut off his fingers. Yan Luo held a grudge against Xigu Qin for several years and decided to kidnap Shen Yao to lure Xigu Qin out into the real world. However, Yan Luo never imagined that he would create another strong enemy in the process, Wang Xiaoxiu. Wang, who was once considered a coward, shows up to save his girlfriend, which eventually leads up to a series of exciting battles.
Super Cube Offers World-Class Animation, But The Story Needs To Get Better
The Story Does Get Better In Manhua, Though
The animation work in Super Cube anime is undoubtedly worth every praise. Each and every frame in the anime is a work of art — Episode 7, specifically, will be considered one of the best works of animation fans got to see in 2025. The seventh episode was a non-stop action sequence that makes you wonder what this anime will have to offer next. In fact, it was the fight sequence in the seventh episode that helped the series go viral in the anime community. All being said, t he story of Super Cube is where the creators need to put a little more effort.
While the animation in Super Cube sets a new benchmark for Japanese animation, the story goes all over the place. Wang gets accustomed to the Cube and the fact that super-powered beings exist in this world way too quickly. The series bombards you with different forms of enemies and hidden organizations altogether, making it difficult for anyone to keep up. Of course, the great animation and fight sequences don't let your interest waver even for a second, but S uper Cube can't survive for long without a great story.
100M: The New Sports Anime Film By The Author of "Orb" Is Coming in September
Uoto's 100M manga is getting an anime film adaptation this September, while the US release can be expected in October.
Fortunately, though, there are enough mysteries and interesting plot points that the series will explore in future episodes. For instance, fans who watch the series may get curious about Xigu Qin, the overpowered man who, surprisingly, will remind you of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. Regardless, Super Cube has great potential not only in terms of animation but also in terms of story. The Manhua also received the same form of criticism, but the story got surprisingly good as it progressed. Hopefully, the Chinese anime adaptation will get more recognition from fans, and they will get to see meaningful depth in Wang's story through more seasons.
You can watch all episodes of Super Cube exclusively on the iQIYI streaming service.
