season four of "my hero academia" comes out in less than two months (huzzah!) and i could not be any more excited! i am entirely glad i caught up on each and every episode of that anime (including the "two heroes" movie). there is also a new movie coming out this december, which i am also excited for!
my opinions/ratings on each season:
- season 1: it was introductory for the first half. there were a couple of action scenes and i will not lie, it was a little bit boring, but that is sort of expected at this point. did i like the opening? no, but that is just my opinion. my favorite part of that season was definitely the hero training and the first encounter with the league of villains. i thought this season was okay/sort of decent. i would rate this a 6.5 out of 10.
- season 2: it was an emotional rollercoaster, especially during the sports festival and hero killer stain's fight against iida, todoroki, and deku. both openings are my personal favorite "my hero academia" openings, especially "sora ni utaeba." i got to know a couple of characters a bit better, especially shoto todoroki, who is my favorite male character from the show. sadly, shinsou did not get enough time on screen, but he is wonderful to say the least. todoroki's backstory did make me cry because i felt really bad for him and i don't like how his father treated him and his mother as a child. overall, this season has to be one of my favorite seasons of "my hero academia." i would rate this a 10 out of 10.
- "two heroes" movie: i LOVED this movie beyond words. the setting and the plot felt pretty different from your average "my hero academia" episode, which adds more detail and a little bit more context to the story as a whole. in my opinion, melissa is a very lovable character from the beginning just because she is an extremely positive person. i absolutely loved the action scenes, although the twist in the middle was absolutely unnecessary. the last fight was EVERYTHING. i loved how all might and deku collided whilst using one for all to defeat the villain. it is safe to say that all might is like a father figure to deku. my rating of this movie is a 9 out of 10.
- season 3: what can i say? there were so many twists and cliffhangers in this season that just grabbed my attention to say the least. so many new characters were introduced in this season. my personal favorite villain has to be dabi, simply because he's attractive, his quirk is awesome, and i can relate to him in a sense that i lose faith in society and i cannot trust people too easily. deku improves with his quirk (like pretty much everyone else), bakugou shows us his weak side, and the provisional license exam period was excellent. this season, as a whole, was an emotional rollercoaster in of itself due to the events occurring in the season. i thought it was a great idea to introduce the big three since they are very vital characters to the show. could they have been introduced earlier? yes, but i'm glad i got to know who they are anyway. my rating of this season is a 9.5 out of 10.
my overall rating of the anime (so far) is an 8.75 out of 10. do i recommend this anime for other people to watch? HELL YES! it is my favorite anime of all time. it's not like your average shonen anime, but it has a wonderful story, extravagant characters, and the series as a whole is FANTASTIC! sadly, there are toxic fans and i highly advise avoiding those people at all costs since majority of the fandom is not like that at all.
who are your favorite characters? do you have any ships? if so, comment below! i would love to know your thoughts/opinions! everyone has different opinions about the series so i'd suggest being respectful of other people's opinions.
