A new original video anime for the game was green-lit in May. The original video anime will adapt the additional Narumi Seo character event map story that launched in the original game in April 2018. As such, it will feature the heroes of the Seo Research Lab who did not appear in the previous television anime.
The television anime of the Stand My Heroes smartphone game premiered in October 2019. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also streamed an English dub.
