Witnessing the terror at USJ, the future heroes of U.A. cannot stand back against the villains who plague in every hole of the city with eradicating the heroes instilled in their minds. They surely savored the overwhelming difference in power when it comes in dealing villains in a real-life situation. Hungry for power, wisdom and knowledge, they continue to march on towards improvement. Thus, the 2nd season of Boku no Hero Academia has been unraveled to continue the journey of heroism.
After a year break, Izuku Midoriya and the rest of Class 1-A of U.A. are back in action to follow the cliffhanger-ed ending last
...
Spring 2016. This has been one of the most awaited sequels of a well-animated shounen manga by Horikoshi-sensei. Surely, the production team behind cannot let the hype of the first season to be faded to dust but planning, budget, workforce, and quality assurance are also big concerns.
Story (9/10):
From the Sports event to the Final exams, the writers really know how to balance the story well in a given number of episodes. Each arc is presented well, bringing to the depth of the story. But there are times that some situations are being sped up and could have been elaborated further for more thrill and excitement. Nevertheless, each story arc has been packed with action and emotions that are easily grabbed by the hearts of the viewers.
Art (5/10):
The art style of BONES is somehow unsatisfying on this one. Filling some essential parts like character faces with black shows the laziness or being time-constrained of the artists. It might be a blind spot if others take it as a consideration of being a style (as also employed in Pierrot's 2016 adaptation of Divine Gate). However, the character design has improved a little in comparison with the previous season but still remained the flaws of lazy outlines and scattering lines to show some emotions of characters. Generally, the art is left mediocre.
Sound (8/10):
The score for the series is typical for an action anime. Nothing new in this one but still enjoyable as it blends with the fighting animation. The SFX is remarkable although some parts were exaggerated. Also, Seiyuu(s) never disappoint the audience with their outstanding performance.
Character (9/10):
Character development is undeniable in this season. Seeing the main character, who's seen as mediocre and a wet blanket from the earlier parts, develop and became able to master the art of his quirk. This is not only for the MC but for the rest of the class as well. There's this also an interesting villain who's moving the plot by working in the shadows in the first part and eventually making a mark on the second part. The returning League of Villains is still on fire, although less of the screen time. Anyway, characters in this season are promising.
Enjoyment (9/10):
Throughout the course of watching the show, it's been enjoyable despite some boring situations and scenes.
Overall (8/10)
Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season, so far, is still loved by newcomers and long-timers, alike. Being an adaptation of a shounen manga packed with thrilling fighting scenes, be it with bare hands or with powers, it can easily capture the interest of everybody regardless of the age and preferences. Who doesn't love shounen manga? Bleach? Naruto? One Piece? Yup, they're all best-selling manga whose anime-adaptations have also places in the hearts of avid anime watchers. BnHA 2nd Season is never been a disappointment to the community but there's still a room for improvement. Hoping for a more thrilling and more improved 3rd season.
