VERTEX FORCE (Season 1)

VERTEX FORCE (2026) is a Japanese anime series you can watch online on iFILM starting from episode one. Akira's routine looks ordinary enough — he lives with his older sister Haruka and their mother, who runs a small café.

It isn't, though. Haruka has quietly inherited their father's power, called the Engine, and hides it from everyone around her. Akira wasn't so lucky — no power came his way, and the gap eats at him more than he lets on. While the siblings keep their secret, strange incidents start piling up across the globe.

The cast includes Makoto Koichi, Kaede Hondo, Ami Koshimizu, Megumi Han and Rie Takahashi. Given the setup, this leans toward a coming-of-age story about living in someone else's shadow rather than another straightforward superpowered brawler. iFILM streams VERTEX FORCE in full for anyone curious where the Engine leads.
