Best arcs in MHA, showcasing what's so great about it. The way the fights complement the narrative along with the growth of the characters in the tournament arc is insane work, and then the Stain arc showcases part of the systemic issues which will later become the core of the series' narrative.
The constant twists and mindgames in this one are amazing, with incredibly strategic fights that put even Death Note to shame. Lelouch exudes charisma and his journey deals with morality and revolution in a compelling manner.
It starts weirdly but it quickly picks back up and continues the action and twists, making you cry and feel for the conflict at hand in which everyone is fighting for a better world, culminating in one of the greatest endings in anime.
It gets appropiately darker and it's better because of it. Everyone develops amazingly and their resolve inspires YOU to be better and to appreciate the beauty in different people. It has a grasp on emotional trauma and healing like no other show has. I LOVE YOU YUKIII
Amazing and real characters, along with a heart-wrenching story that many can identify with. The decisions these characters take are awfully complex and they showcase the cycle of trauma in a wonderful way. It's badass, it's sad, it's everything.
It'd get a 10 if it was adapted well, but the end was rushed... Still wonderful, with great voice acting, use of music, and style. Just as Nana, it teaches you about love in a realistic and crushing way like no other anime can.
NIA IS SO GOOD. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?! I love how it makes such a dumb power scaling and the asspulls be so natural and work within the context of the story. The hypest anime imo. Ending 2 is goated.
