Note: This is a review for all of Boku no Hero Academia. The reason I chose this season to review was because in my opinion, this is overall the weakest entry in the series.
Like several mainstream anime, My Hero Academia has serious problems that are overlooked by the majority of its viewers who are blindsided by its "creative style" and "exciting cast of characters".
As a long time reader and watcher of the series, I've grown to be hurt more and more by the unfortunate mediocrity this show likes to consistently stoop to.
Every time something relatively game changing or hype is in place, it's either used for plot convenience to make the main character look good/become more powerful, or it's outright done horribly.
My Hero Academia bathes in its own mediocrity and excels in nothing a…

INTRODUCTION
Season 2 of MHA was filled with poor writing and new boring characters except stain that didn't leave much of an impression on you. it was a disappointment in many areas and i do personally feel like the writer gave up in some moments throughout the season and did whatever was necessary to move on to the next scene/plot. i found myself constantly sighing throughout the show due to its poor writing and hopefully ill be able to explain my reasoning clearly enough so that you understand my dislike for this season...
TOURNAMENT ARC
The tournament arc was TRASH!!! I'm not even going to get into specifics because there's no need in order to explain my reasoning. the tournament arc was supposed to give the students of UA a chance at showcasing their quirks in different settings so t…

This is by far the best season of Boku no Hero Academia.
What is great:
The characters see so much growth, Deku is much less of a crybaby and the writers actually poke fun at his emotional state which is refreshing. In the internship arc you finally get to see Deku get a handle on his powers.
The tournament arc is fantastic and goes by quick. The action is great and you really get a better understanding for the relationships between the heroes and their individual strengths and weaknesses. It also introduces some fun new characters. It got me really involved trying to figure out he wold come out on top.
The hero killer is also a great arc. He is the most interesting villain we get to see and Tenya's quest for revenge strikes to the heart.
Negatives:
I can't really think of any. The on…

I know this might sound exaggerated — “2/10? Are you insane?” — but please just hear me out for a second...
Spoilers ahead:
Protecting people in the face of adversity; even in the means of sacrificing yourself, using unique strength only found in the hearts of some people for good, being brave and standing up for the people you love… this is what it means to be a hero. A hero isn’t something you strive to be, nor is it something to be viewed as a career. To be qualified as a hero in the first place, is to be selfless. By devoting all your life trying to become a hero by wearing a cape and a superhero outfit made by plastic is, in and of itself, a selfish and childish dream. By dreaming so only results in a messiah complex.
To be running around and jumping from building to building weari…

Picking right up from where the first season left off, the 2nd season of My Hero Academia continues to keep up and match with the expectations. We get to have a closer look to characters that had been on the sidelines on season 1, but still having a clear red line with the plot. Characters had some great developments and each of them contributed to the story greatly. While, yes the Sports Festival Arc took about half of the episodes, it didn't feel too much spaced out story.
I really enjoyed this season and I think it's even better than the first one (mostly because in this season they didn't have to introduce us to the world or the characters that much) and I can't wait to watch season 3!
If you enjoyed the first season, I highly recommend watching this too.

So my biggest issue with is series and the reason I dropped it straight after this season is the writing, which I feel is pretty bad. First off we have villains, who I never actual felt really did much to be consider that ‘evil’, for instance they only seemed to ever target others with quirks, for instance they repeatadely target the students, why not go for aneasier target, to make them look truly like villains? Additionally a main character that just wants to be a hero, I’m sorry but that is a crap reason and bad motivation, give me a reason to care about him.
Another issue is the lack of character development, of the cast litererally dozens, where there they only concentrate on a select few, and never bother with the others, instead the writer’s idea of character development is instead…

I really did try to go into this with a positive attitude. I wanted to like it. This season could have very well been 12 episodes instead of the excruciatingly drawn out 25. Really all that tells me is VERY. POOR. WRITING. With this show being so popular and having such a high MAL score I had high expectations. I am being sorely let down. I didn't even want to finish watching this season. I usually only drop shows if it is boring me to death. I was almost to my limit with this one.
Lets hop to the spoilers.
Story: A mess. It is all over the place. I mostly only kept watching because I want to know WHY this universe is how it is. Why is everyone mutated? How did the world react in the beginning? We finally saw a glimpse of the world's (japan's) reactions, at the end? of the 2nd season? H…

The goddamn hero ideology....why.....what is it with that naive hero mindset?! Let's talk about Endeavor, the guy literally ABUSES his wife, but he's still a hero?!!! You hypocritical pieces of shit!! Such an unoriginal and annoying anime! It overuses some of anime's most annoying tropes. They took the worst characteristics of all the Shounen MCs from the past 10 years and created Midoriya....one of the most frustrating characters I have ever come across. Makes this one of the most overrated shows in Anime history. I really don't understand the charm of a nerdy coward, who is very very unrealistically nice to everyone. Although have to compliment the artwork, which is very unique and attractive. The best way to watch this show is to ignore Midoriya, and focus on Bakugo or All Might

This one will be short. May contain some spoilers, but I'll try keeping it as clean as possible.
Story 9/10
UA sports festival = The chunin exams from Naruto. In a good way. Lots of character developement (not only main character), introduction of the villains. Deku learns how to control his quirk more efficiently. A lot of crazy stuff going on, but the pacing is doing wonders.
Art 10/10
Outstanding animation and consistent art-style through the whole anime. A pleasure to watch. Sound 10/10
Keeping up the standards from the first season. Awesome opening and ending themes, as well as the background music.
Character 10/10
If you thought the first season was lacking in terms of character developement, you have plenty of it here. Developement for everyone, even the villains!
Enjoyment…

My review of Hero Aca Season 1 made the claim that it was the prime example of what a Shonen story is and that still holds true for season 2. In the case of this second season I would say the only way to describe it is PLUS ULTRA!
The art in the show still relies on minimal CG to the extent that outside of 1 car, some water, and the show logo itself everything seemed to be 2d animation so a round of applause for another well animated season of Hero Aca! *clap*
Complaints I had about the pacing of the first season were almost entirely resolved. The whole season seemed to move much better than before with maybe things being hurried along a bit in the second half of the tournament arc. The season covered…

This review covers both seasons and will contain some vague spoilers.
For a show called Boku no HERO Academia there's definitely a lot of academia but not much heroism. Makes sense too since according to this show, the word 'Hero' doesn't have an actual definition.. Yeah, apparently being a hero is whatever you want it to be. this is something a character in the show actually says at some point and we're supposed to see it as some kind of profound gospel.
I'll start by saying that I think the first 2 episodes of season 1 was the show at its best. Deku's backstory had a good emotional punch to it and we get a glimpse of real heroism on the part of his childhood hero, All Might, via YouTube video. and in episode 2 Deku himself demonstrated real heroism by risking his life to rescue a kid w…

Uh ok, so ... the only progress from Midoriya we see is after season 1, and after the first part of season 2? Is this a joke right? i mean... all of these episodes full of blah blah and fights, that made Todoroki have more mental progress than Midoriya. The MC keeps being a chiken after what we saw happened in first season, he is still full of openings like we saw through the whole story, but specially at that last episode.
Story. 4/10
What can i say, the first part of the whole thing aka the School Festival was boring, but let just say that the race and the chavalry competition were pretty boring while the Tournament was only boring. I would've loved to see more of the other side of the story, the author likes a lot midoriya and i get, he wants us to see his progress but there has not be…

The shounen that took Naruto's place was a huge disappointment for me and I will try to explain why here. I do not think that this review will change a lot of opinions, but I found it fun to write this, so here is a piece of my mind.
Starting off with the... start: the setting.
From the very beginning what I noticed is that there is a distinct lack of effort put into the setting and the world-building in general. The story takes place in a world where everyone has these quirks and those with useful ones in battle become heroes. Makes sense... But you know… Starting from the acquirement of quirks to the establishment of a society that functions is a veeeeery long way, which was all completely missed.
In this season, we do get some hints about certain things that happened in the past, but…

Time for another review that no one is gonna read!
(Thanks to that one kind person who had been finding my reviews helpful)
Boku no Hero Academia,another great season,another hit,another awesomeness
1) Story:
The story,just like season one,is about his road to become a hero
I wouldn't say there are no times when you don't get bore or something like that,there exists those.I think at least one episode was boring(in my opinion,most would not find any flaws) so there were some pin holes in the story.But if we talk about overall,the story was fantastic,very good and enjoyable!
8/10
2) Art:
Perfect syncs,perfect reaction,nice coloring and attractive animation.An ideal piece of art for any upcoming anime.
10/10
3) Sound:
I don't think I found any flaws in sound(I should quit making separate spac…

Boku no Hero Academia is often said to be the new Naruto or One Piece - the next smash-hit action series. Season 1 laid the groundwork for that, but at a mere 13 episodes, it couldn't truly demonstrate why Hero Academia deserves to be considered THE new great action series. But with season 2 comes a solid 25-episode run, giving it the chance to spread its wings and prove that not only is it a great successor to the old genre greats, but in many respects improves on them.
A big part of why this works better than the first season is that where the first season could be slow at times, season 2 is perfectly-paced. It moves at breakneck speed with barely a wasted moment, even despite the presence of a single (surprisingly good) filler episode. This makes Hero Academia an excellent binge-watchi…

This is a two-part review where I'll be weighing in the positives and negatives of this show.
Starting with what I thought it did right:
Despite Boku no Hero Academia’s rather familiar and simplistic premise, its thematic consistency and high production value made it possible for this title to gain recognition and significant following among the anime community. Season 1 managed to deliver in an impressive note and thankfully, that didn’t waiver at all in its continuing season. Much like its predecessor, Boku no Hero Academia 2 looks and sounds just as good—if not, even better. While it still didn’t take any risks, it did capitalize on the tried and tested formula in battle shounen that never failed to appeal to this genre’s fans and took the liberty to put its own creative spin to it—w…

(You must see season 1 first before you go to reviews of the 2nd season because there will be some spoilers about season 1.There will be some spoilers also from Season 2)
Heroes Vs Villains. Good Vs Evil. We are always presented by these topics. Whether it is a movie, tv show, soap opera, or even anime itself, it is quite common and typical. But even though it is common on almost every shows out there, we still can't get enough whether the good guys or the bad guys will win on the last episode of the series or film.
Last year, the anime community was hitted by a ''meteor'' in Spring 2016. A meteor that brought as another shounen anime, trying to compete to countless shounen anime out there. That's right. I am talking about 'Boku No Hero Academia' or 'My Hero Academia'. We were all shocke…

After watching the first season of Boku Hero no Academia (My Hero Academia), I can’t help but feel wanting for more of this series. The first season consisted of only 13 episodes. It adapted the general premise of the story and had its character roster in set. However, it missed the opportunity to expand more and build on those elements. Have no fear. Season 2 is here and it’s set to fill the gaps for you diehard fans of this classic shounen adventure.
One major part of the sequel is that the length is almost twice the duration of the first season. It consists of 25 episodes (including an anime original) as part of its storytelling. Therefore, expect almost twice as much as details. As an avid fan of the manga, I’m also rather impressed by the faithfulness of its adaptation standards. Exp…

*Minimum Spoiler Plus Ultra Review*
If you did not watch BNHA S1 then go watch that ASAP.
TL;DR: Hype Hype, Finally a Shounen Anime worth watching Plus Ultra Hype! BNHA S2 is basically Naruto and DBZ's illegitimate child, Hunter X Hunter's bastard child raised by the all mighty Bones STUDIO that has stayed true to the manga and doing the show justice it really deserves! Definitely Binge-Worthy!

“You can become a hero too!”
Before the review I am gonna say this: Bones knows how to make a great shounen anime that gives you a bump of adrenaline and boils your blood with each fight.Season 2 was awesome and we need more anime like this on the market! Season 2 is what I was earning for all this time as a fan of this series , everything was done right starting with the side characters who got development, the directing and writing who improved a lot since season 1 and also the fights who I must say are the best thing from this anime. Season 1 lacked all of those things but season 2 came in strong and made us all forget how bad and generic season 1 was , for that I wanna praise the staff who worked on this season.
Boku no Hero Academia is a shounen anime with generic characters but wha…
