Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season (My Hero Academia Season 4)

After successfully passing his Provisional Hero License exam, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya seeks out an extracurricular internship with a professional hero agency. At the recommendation of his mentor All Might, Midoriya lands a position under All Might's former sidekick, Sir Nighteye, now a famous hero in his own right.

As Midoriya's classmates further their own abilities through various internships, up-and-coming villain Kai Chisaki utilizes his terrifying powers to gather favor in the criminal underworld. Known by the moniker Overhaul, Chisaki's ambitions collide with the League of Villains and its leader, Tomura Shigaraki.

Through his work with Sir Nighteye, Midoriya discovers Chisaki's crime syndicate and the villain's hostile relationship with a mysterious young girl named Eri. Fearing for the child's safety, Midoriya and his upperclassman Mirio Toogata must work together to put an end to Chisaki's reign of terror.

This season was adorable. I'm not sure why I see so many haters in the reviews. Perhaps people forget enjoying anime isn't just a "love or hate" binary. Sometimes you can find a show just kind of good, or okay. I think season 4 of MHA is pretty good. The story is progressing, slowly but surely, and the action is always really epic and intense. We are introduced to new characters, and old characters get new life by having the spotlight put on them. If you're a fan of My Hero Academia in general, this season is pretty good.

My main complaint about this show ...

Mixed Feelings

I've been enjoying the series of My Hero Academia up until this one. The first half of the anime was really good and interesting, but the last 5 (approx) episodes really sucked and I ended up skipping most of them because it honestly was unwatchable for me.

First part of the series; infiltrating and saving someone, interesting and I enjoyed that. The characters were super interesting and I was able to fangirl over my favorite character...General good anime stuff. XD

The last 5 episodes...SO BAD! It felt like they ran out of ideas and were just trying to throw something together to make the big 25!

You Say Garbage

My Hero Academia continues its quest to systematically murder the battle-shounen genre in its 4th installment, which promises to be more epic than any that came before it. Can it end its previous seasons' trends of never developing its secondary cast in any meaningful way, making its characters mary sues, never giving enough time to important events, and using one repeated piece of OST to cover for its lack of substance?

Nope.

To elaborate:

The overhaul arc happened. And when it happens, oh boy does it happen with a whimper. It wasn't like the show had built up a reputation for delivering on hyped up characters ... in any way, starting the trend of squandering all for one last season immediately following beating the first villain of the show in the second episode he showed up in... but nonetheless, it felt like overhaul was going to be different. It felt like he was going to pose a real threat. And the show doesn't put itself out to make you feel like anyone is legitimately threatened except for, ironically, other villains.

This kind of character wouldn't be a problem in seasons 1 or 2. Keep in mind, shounen progression usually deals with this kind of format where the enemies get progressively more and more hyped as they go on, even when the pacing stays consistant and power scaling isn't an issue. But that's what shiguraki's first appearence and stain were for. We're way past the point where villains should posing a real threat to our main characters, and we still haven't seen enough of this beyond the one time somebody killed a dude in season 3. An unbelievable butchering ang plummeting in quality in nearly all aspects of the show that was previously. Animation is the most obvious downgrade, but isn't even the worst aspect of this terrible season. The sound mixing... most people don't mention this, but it is bizarely bad. There are episodes with awkward silence and literally no background noises and music. I've never seen it this bad anywhere else.

Every character was flanderized and/or made act like a young child. The story became boring, horrendously paced, self-contradictory and hones in on borderline creepy levels on this one girl, every single character's lives now seem to revolve around her for no particular reason, and no one has any other goals, except to.. play in a band?

A joke of a season and I don't see the point to break down everything wrong with it, because that would take absurdly long and in no way be worth it.

Deku's trend of beating everybody on the first try sucks for a shounen like this, and it continues all throughout this season. It's horseshit. Every time he needs to, he has a new upgrade to perfectly deal with every new guy that shows up. And somehow it's always just through the virtue of being the most epic perfect guy ever, which I just don't buy. Deku is trash. He is always treated like he is so much better than all the other characters (hes not), and whenever there is a new villain he just happens to get a new upgrade or learn a new technique that will make it much easier to beat the villain. He always beats the villain easily and I personally just dont like his character.(also i wish he had a cooler quirk.SUPER STRENGTH??? REALLY??) If you want to watch shounen just watch naruto, its so much better.(except for all the annoying fillers).

If the show has to position itself perfectly around a character just to prove how great they are, that makes that character a mary sue. And that's what deku has become. It's asinine, and after 4 seasons I'm just sick of him being treated more importantly than everybody else. He's lost any good will as a protagonist. And his character stays totally stale during season 4.

The season's most egregious sin was once again playing you say run over an "epic" moment to give it that feel, even though the moment they played it over was mundane and empty of personal emotion for the characters involved. Every time they do this I can just picture the director, bashing his head on the table while reading the source material just wondering how he can possibly make this wet fart of a final scene have any impact at all before he has an "eureka" moment and slams it in the "add you say run" cupboard.

The only good parts of this show were the villains besides overhaul. The league of villains feels like the return of the phantom troupe, and is the group I would rather be focusing on, and Gentle Criminale is probably the only character I could see deserving a main character slot in this show, as he's actually more likable than the entire main cast as well as La Brava (but of course the anime sucks deku's dick the entire time he's onscreen regardless). Suneater and Red Riot had good episodes, but they were rare good moments in an otherwise horrible season of anime that I couldn't wait to be over with.

All of the secondary cast besides those are wasted. Everyone besides the main few are treated like sideshow acts, some characters still only get anything to do when there's nothing at stake. The characters were so wasted they even kill them off before we have a chance to care who they are.

The animation was fine despite suffering slide-show disease in a few episodes, and the music, being multiple versions of the same fucking track i've heard a billion times on "inspirational compilations on youtube", sucked balls. Make a new fucking song.

You may notice that the overall score is much lower than the other parts of the score. That's because this show rates a 0 in seasonal improvement, bringing the average down.

If nothing else, MHA 4 proves that the series has no desire to grow or improve, respect its own ideas or characters, actually bother to write real drama, or innovate in any way. And you gotta respect a show that proves itself.

2/10.
