My Hero Academia Season 7: The Final War Delivers a Thrilling, Earned Spectacle

My Hero Academia Season 7 arrived with monumental expectations, and for me, it didn't just meet them—it soared past them. Having meticulously developed its world and characters over six prior seasons, the stage was perfectly set for this climactic confrontation, and the payoff is immensely satisfying. Every punch, every Quirk unleashed, feels earned, resonating with the emotional investment we've poured into these heroes and their struggles.

This season dives headfirst into the final war, and dedicating most of its runtime to this overarching conflict was an incredibly rewarding decision. This isn't just mindless action; ... it's a culmination. The action sequences deliver on everything the emotional development has been building toward throughout the series. We understand the stakes, we're deeply rooting for good to triumph over the corrupt, and seeing our heroes push past their limits feels incredibly impactful.

What truly elevates Season 7 is how it leverages its established cast. With character relationships and personalities so meticulously built, it's all the more impactful as they face their demons—both internal and external. These are not just battles of power, but intensely personal confrontations that feel heavy with years of narrative weight. Watching these characters, whom we've grown to love and understand, confront their ultimate challenges makes for a thrilling ride from start to finish.

This season serves as a near-perfect way to guide us into the series' conclusion. It amplifies the tension, solidifies hero resolve, and provides a visceral, emotional experience that proves My Hero Academia still has plenty of impactful stories left to tell. I genuinely can't wait to see how it all ends in the final season.

Quick review minor spoilers

Story 6/10 - It falls off hard imo. It's extremely predictable what happens and you can usually tell how the episodes are based. The pacing is EXTREMELY off, and you find yourself skimming through a lot of the episodes to get to the actual decent parts of it. It does hold some extremely well designed characters, which makes for some really good enjoyment but the story just falls short, standard good v bad guy, bad guy backstory before bad guy loses a fight or reinforcements come on.

Music 8/10 - really well done - no complaints here.

Art 7/10 - Let's just say some ... things shouldn't be made with CGI.

Overrall - 7/10. It holds some strong points but the predicatably of knowing what is going to happen episodes in advance really drags the score down sadly. I genuinely love the characters and their development but when you have that many characters in a story, and you go from a fight with one character, then revisit that fight 5 episdoes down the line.. it's a real off putting

What can I say about this train wreck? Villain power creep with "we win" pawn powers; the heroes who seem to have gone from seeming like a powerful army protecting peace are now a mere resistance movement against evil, and worst of all having the arch enemy magically return from a near death state.

What sort of lame ass, half baked story telling is this? After the investment in watch hours of the previous series, the story likes screwing over the heroes time and time again. If there's no hope in the story, there's no point watching it.

Art, audio and the animation is as good, ... if only the story didn't take a left turn into the ditch, bounce off and plunge into the lake of an abomination it turned into...
