Actually, I started this anime with some prejudice. Well, the plot wasn’t so unfamiliar. "Zero to Hero" kind of story. And the way it developed wasn’t really surprising. It was obvious how it will end the moment it started. So you may say “So, it was a boring shounen anime.” Well, no. That’s the weird point. Even though you know pretty much everything, you still feel attached to the story like you are one of them and excited like you don’t know how it will end. I didn’t realize that story wasn’t that good until I started to think about the anime. Watching the characters grow through each episode and watching them fight with each other… It locked you to the screen, even though it’s three a.m. in the morning your heart says “continue” and your hands obey as your heart pleases. When it ended, I realized I binged watched this anime even though I have a lot of to do.
It ended as it says:“It was only a prologue to the second anime. Watch the second anime for more.” So I’m not going to throw a lot of questions that didn’t have answers. But I kind of wish that they put a little bit more clues. I hope that they will be answered or at least given some kind of explanation. But I want to talk about characters.
The thing that I loved was the fact that every character has a weakness along their power. I don’t want to give spoilers so I won’t give examples but if you have watched the anime you will understand. More power they have, more apparent their weakness. So that was a nice thing to add. They have to learn to fight with their weakness or like learn to accept their weakness and all that jazz. The main characters of this show were All Might and Deku, of course. I like Deku because even though everybody said that he can’t be a hero and mock him for his dreams, he didn’t care about them. He scared to death but he tried his best to pursue his dreams and become a hero. Which, I think everybody can relate at some point. Nowadays, it has become almost everybody’s problem. People break others dreams by accident or on purpose. Even though most of the time, a little bit touch is enough for that person to fly. This brings me to All Might. Well, at first I didn’t really like All Might. Because he seems like a dude who really likes to brag about himself or don’t really care about being a hero but show off and gain reputation. But, after a few episodes that I realize that wasn’t the case. Actually, he was under the big responsibility and struggle every day in order to make everybody safe. So yeah, in the end, I like All Might. And that’s the end of the character review because other characters were just… There. I don’t even know any person’s name. I don’t know, maybe because of the 13 episodes or the fact that there will be another season, the side characters were, side characters. I wished that at least I remember their names. They were kind of dull and really unoriginal so...
So, if I had to summarise my review, I’d say that if you have all the time in the world, whose into action anime and want to binge watch an anime though you don’t really care about the plot, as long as it engrosses you and makes you crave even more… You will like it.
