Pinoy Comic Legends get the spotlight on Hero TV this August

The country’s number one anime channel is turning its sights to the Philippines’ very own animated characters this month of August, when its special production “Comics on Cam” will be premiering on Hero TV.

“Comics on Cam” will be showcasing classic Pinoy comic book characters and putting them back into action through the channel’s motion comics. Gear up to meet original local comic legends this August 24 at 12:00pm before Hero Theatrixx.

Local color also continues to shine through as Hero TV screens Arnold Arre’s “Andong Agimat: Kanya ang Kalye.” Catch this 15-minute short film by one of the Philippines’ best animators, which even took home the top spot for the Short Film category and the Special Jury Prize in the 7th Animahenasyon, the country’s animation festival.

Also hitting local screens this month is the hit show “Yuyushiki,” a series about three lovely girls and their daily randomness and wacky humor at their data processing club. Catch it on weekdays at 8:00pm, with replays at 2:00am, 8:00am, and 2:00pm.

Apart from all these, Naruto Shipuuden: Season 6 will also continue to air on Hero. Catch it every Saturday at 12:00am, with replays at 12:00pm and 8:00pm.

Kuroko’s Basketball: Season 2 also makes its way into weekdays this month at 8:30pm, with replays at 2:30am, 8:30am, and 2:30pm.

Of course, Hero is bringing back current favorites with an awesome line-up of returning titles. This month, catch “The Eccentric Family”, “Love Live!
