Boku no Hero Academia: Training of the Dead

Returning from their internships, the students of Class 1-A are immediately thrown into more training by their homeroom teacher, Shouta Aizawa. For this exercise, the class will be joining four students from Isamu Academy High School to compete in a survival game. Split up into groups of four, students must either eliminate each other or stay hidden until time runs out to win.

The training also acts as a reunion between Tsuyu Asui and her friend from middle school, Habuko Mongoose. However, not all the students from Isamu are friendly—Katsuki Bakugou almost instantly picks a fight with Romero Fujimi. The conflict between the two leads Romero to angrily release his Quirk, a gas which zombifies anyone it comes in contact with. How will the remaining students deal with the situation after most of the people around them turn into zombies?

sigh...well..hmm...I am not sure what to say about this OVA. Overall was acceptable ...can't say was good tho .
........................................................................................................................
At the beginning I thought that is the worst anime i ever seen but it end up better.
The story was not that bad; nor good either . honestly speaking I'll go with 7/10 bc there was some cute tododeku moments and I can say I laughed a few times.
.........................................................................................................................
if it weren't tododeku then I probably would have gone with 5/10 ( for the hard work that goes into animating something , I know how hard is to make an animation and I really can't put a ... lower grade than 4/10 and mostly i rise a bit the score).
.............................................................................................................................
The behavior of All Might for example was soooo difrent from TV series (i don't like this). he was pretty funny but he never act like he did in this ova.

Stoy:7

I really enojoyed this OVA I laughed so hard I was surprised myself.
It was just one of the funniest OVAs I saw (and I hate OVAs) my friend also had a good time. The sotory is simple they train that's it.

Art:7
Bnha always has good art and its good no offense but the animation felt bad in some scenes or bland.
The training in itself and the fight scenes was okay it felt sloppy in some scenes and the Animation wasn't always on point but I still liked it :)

Sound:6
Meh the sound didn't really stuck to me I barely remember what sound was played so its alright ... .

Characters:8
The characters were fine as always not bad I really liked the new ones they didn't feel cheap or boring but alright.
Sometimes it felt over the top but it was still funny (I am not going to spoil who but ya all know).

Enjoyment:8
I was laughing with my friend and we liked it, the OVA wasn't special or awesome but its alright, i wouldn't rewatch it tho. The character chemistry and actions were entertaining I have no complaints.

I do recommend it for people who didn't watch it and like boku no hero academia, as a fan you will love the characters and training.

Mixed Feelings

This review refrains from spoilers!
To make it short, it's sweet but not that special.

During this specific Episode I had a constand smile on my face. They managed to put lots of funny moments in the storyline and ridiculed All Mights "quirk problems". Also, the art is adorable and doesn't makes the events seem too serious.

But to sum it up, it story-wise wasn't all that special and also not that interessting. Sure, the episode was quite funny and you learn something about Asui´s backstory, but thats about it.

I watched everything till season 4 for the 6th time since it came out (except for this one ... episode) so I´m kinda underwhelmed.

In comparison to all other specials I´ld rate it 6/10.
Still worthy to be recommended!
