The English dub is directed by Manuel Aragon, produced by Zach Bolton, and adapted by Matthew Greenbaum, with audio mixing by Rickey Watkins.
Crunchyroll currently streams the first season. It follows the story of Koichi Haimawari, a college student who abandoned his dream of becoming a hero. His outlook shifts dramatically after he and Pop☆Step are rescued by the underground vigilante Knuckleduster. This encounter pulls them into a dangerous, unofficial fight for justice.
