So here for "Boku No Hero Academia" Produced by Bone Studios, known for Fulmetal Alchemist Brotherhood mostly, is a gorgeous, fun, uplifting, and inspiring anime. Many would say the story is generic. It is about a small weak main character who magically starts to be on the upcoming by some miracle event as the episodes goo on. Now, don't get me wrong I did say generic, but generic isn't always bad!! I absolutely love this style of anime. In fact, this is to me the most inspiring kinds of stories. I mean who doesn't love this stuff!?!
The story to me is easily a ten. With the amazing idea of "quirks" and super powers really taking a stronghold for this anime. What made this story kind of unique was that the main goal of students was not to just go out and fight crime, but to get accepted into the best super hero school. Super hero school ? Some might say that is a bit corny, I actually agreed with that when it was first mentioned. But as later in the season shows, the tests these students go through are really intriguing. It shows the depth of the characters, the drive, their ambition, their heart, and their will to fight evil. It wasn't just some reading or writing, it was full on mental and physical anguish these student characters went through once in the school and during the tryout. Now yes there are some plot holes in the story (which I'm not going to spoil as you can see i haven't said specific characters). However, I know for a fact these will be filled up as the next season comes out and peaks my interest all over again.
Art: Not to much to talk about. To me just normal 2015-2016 anime art. Which obviously is gorgeous, but nothing unique or extraordinary. I did love the colors in some scenes. During certain scenes the art played an UNREAL role is setting the mood. Really making the viewer feel what they were supposed to feel.
Sound: Soundtrack was SOOOO IMPORTANT. I mean the anime is all about superheros right??? This anime had to have a good soundtrack or something would of been missing for the viewer right away. The music was so preicise with the scene it was mind blowing. I would think of music in my head as the scene was going on and then BAM! The music was playing perfectly with the scene. The sounds were great too. Well matched with the movements of the fights, explosions, punches, kicks, breathing, everything. ANNNND THE VOICES. I watched both the dub and sub. Now let me just say wow the dub was excellent. Every character had a beautifully matched voice. Congrats to all the voice actors.
PS: It was a combined superhero/anime music. I dont know how to put it. WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF IM SORRY ITS HARD.
Character: 10 easily. No doubt about it. Here I am gonna go into some detail but no spoiler I promise.
Izuku Midoriya: The main character in this anime. He is a very emotional young fellow who seems to really make you feel his emotions with every word and action he says or does. The viewer really does nothing but support him throughout the whole anime. Wishing the best for him and hoping he achieves everything he wants to. Extremely like-able and incredibly genuine. What a great character. YOU JUST WANT TO JUMP OUT YOUR SEAT AND ROOT FOR HIM THE WHOLE ANIME.
All Might: I mean wow. He is a very love able character as well. Even makes you laugh a bunch throughout the series. I would say that if it wasn't for him cracking jokes, having a great personality, and genuinely caring for the people who fights for, he would seem extremely cocky and unlike able. But all those traits make you hop on the All Might train whenever he is kicking ass. He compliments Izuku well, showing how rare and uncommon Izuku's traits are. Making him the true main character we all love thanks to All Might.
Katsuki Bakugou: I really do not know how to put him into words. He is an arrogant, self centered, egotistical, spoiled, jerk, over the top, and cocky character. But....but.... somehow, you still like him....because of how cool he and his quirk is. He is such a good fighter, his quirk is honestly awesome, and he just knows how to use his body in fights so well. I really don't like any bullies in anime. In fact, I usually hate their guts. However (sigh) I still like Katsuki. The vibes he gives off when he fights just makes your jaw drop. He is so damn powerful and you just want to see him show his true potential and win every time he fights. His anger is off the charts. Katsuki explodes at any slight comment and its quite hilarious. One of my favorite scenes derives from him being so angry. Hopefully his personality changes DRAMATICALLY in the next season. YEA RIGHT. (There are tons of characters so I did the top 3).
Enjoyment: I'm keeping this short. I mean I put a 10 for a reason right? I enjoyed this anime so much. At the end of the last episode I went outside and ran 10 miles since I was so motivated. I love inspiring anime and this was nothing but pure enjoyment since the first ten seconds of the first episode.
Overall: 9. This anime is phenomenal but no masterpiece. Masterpieces are rare and this one was very close to it. Can't wait for the next season.
Thanks for reading. I will be doing a lot more on a lot of different anime's. Not just popular ones! Thanks :)
