Preliminary (5/25 eps)
After hearing that this show was similar to My Hero Academia, I decided to give it a shot because I liked that one quite a bit despite my dislike for superhero fiction. I saw from the world, the story, and the premise is so similar to My Hero Academia that it seemed like the writer that wrote that manga took ideas from this anime. Unfortunately, My Hero Academia does its ideas a lot better and more uniquely than this iffy anime.

At first Kotetsu seemed like the somewhat adorkable type character and he seemed interesting and seemed like he could be my husbando later on but then, it turned out that he was a hot-headed man who acts like a child.

Blue Rose is the typical bratty teenager who's lashing out at everyone because she hates her job and wants to give up being a superhero. Though, she did change her mind but she's still a little brat, especially to Kotetsu.

Barnaby is an underdeveloped superhero cliche as seen from when he saved Kaede in the second episode when we expected her to be dead or injured. Like, how did he turn invisible like that Clay Aiken song and save Kaede all of a sudden when he wasn't seen under the debris in the first place? Not to mention, how cold and vindictive he is makes him another unlikeable character.

Agnes is the bossy woman who is incompetent at her job and should be fired for being such an angry woman.

I don't think that anyone was good in there except for possibly the Dragon Kid. The other characters and their immature personalities just makes me want to give them a slapping.

The other props I can give to this anime is that it manages not to be boring like most superhero fiction and the story, while mediocre, was probably the most interesting aspect of the writing, and the art is quite good. The dub doesn't make their frustrating characters anymore tolerable to watch but they've done what they could do.

Just watch My Hero Academia, it is so much better with better developed and kinder/mature characters (most of them at least, some of them aren't), less realistic and complex, more unique, and it's hilarious.

3.7/10
