Boku no Hero Academia: Memories

I'm not hating because it's a 4 episode recap that had to exist for (supposedly) Japanese TV timeslot reasons, I'm annoyed that it only reminds you of whatever parts they felt like throwing in. It's not cohesive and I could probably find a much more useful recap on Youtube that would be about the same length or less. Or at least I could without irritating copyright BS getting in the way- yeah you can compile clips and talk over it but you're probably getting demonetized if you use too much footage from a single show. So instead we get this.

You had one job. Refresh my ... memory of all that's been happening, maybe remind me of some of the B and C list characters' names. Mission failed. Even some who I thought were semi important aren't here at all.

Still looking forward to S7 but probably don't waste your time on these specials.

Why did this need to exist? The answer is money.

4 episodes of pure recap, no extra scenes, and very few reanimated scenes. There's just no reason to sit down and watch this imo. It does a poor job of catching new viewers up with the overall story because it just skips so much, and on the other side of the issue, what kind of person watches 6 seasons of a show and then says "Oh yeah, I could sure use some recap episodes"?

MHA isn't super complicated story wise, but it's not so much so that you can condense it's entirity down to around 90 minutes ... of recap and have it still be compelling to watch

2/10 because there is at least some new animation but not much
