Heroes: Legend of the Battle Disks (ヒーローズ ～バトルディスク伝説～, Hīrōzu ~Batoru Disuku Densetsu~) is an anime series based on a toy line by the Spain-based company Magic Box Int.

Production

In February 2011, Spanish toy manufacturer Magic Box Int. launched a line of collectible toys called Heroes: Legend of the Battle Disks in Europe.[5][6][7]

In January 2013, Magic Box, in partnership with the Japanese studio Asahi Production, announced an anime adaptation set for broadcast in winter 2013.[2] At the time, the series was expected to air in at least 28 markets, with the overall franchise expected to generate $370 million USD in revenue.[8][9]

In September 2014, MarVista Entertainment acquired the global distribution rights to the series and debuted it at MIP Junior the following month.[1] There it was revealed that the show would be directed by Masahiro Hosoda (Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, Digimon Fusion), written by Junki Takegami (Naruto Shippuden the Movie, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger) with character designs by Yoshihiro Nagamori (Bakugan, Beyblade), and available in 26 episodes x half-hour or 52 x thirteen minute formats.[10] The show began airing in Latin America, South Africa and South East Asia in late 2015.[3][4][11] The series officially debuted in the United States through Tubi TV on August 28, 2018.[12]
