Not enough Saitama, not enough hyper super hyper Sonic, too much Genos, who for some unknown reason I found terribly annoying here. On the other hand, I thought Gary the “Hero Hunter" was fine. I'm glad I finally got to know a bit more about the other S heroes, but this series didn't quite grab me like the previous one, which I've seen several times already. Maybe the viewer learns more, but at the same time gets nothing. When will we see the sequel? That was such an ugly ending!

Better than the first film, even though it’s our dear Class 1. And it was very artificially thrown onto a sparsely populated island to help out. Who could have guessed that some very powerful baddies just happen to be heading for the island where the foxes are saying goodnight, right? The serenity of the setting country sun is replaced by an ominous storm, and the animators at Bones Studio handle it very well. Apart from the final battle, we don't get anything extra, but that's okay because this is a silver screen movie to enjoy our heroes in a bigger way – I recommend throwing this on a quality projector, it's really worth it. Action, rescue, and finally a fighting partnership between Bakugo and Midoriya; this is what I’ve been really looking forward to in this series, when these two say it's time to work together to kick that strong motherfucker's ass. It's a movie, so I wasn't as worried about the characters as I was watching the show, and by the end I was wondering how they were going to work it out, because this can't happen, which was a little disturbing (who wants to be wondering during an action scene what scripted twist they're going to use this time instead of enjoying the fight?), but otherwise I'm happy. After all, I went for more experiences of 1. And I got those.

I've read that it's not the same when he's chasing some strange girl. After watching it, I'm like, "Excuse me?" It’s the same. The girl isn't a stranger, they're heroes, no one is a stranger to them, everyone is worth saving, and that's exactly what this series shows. Among other things. Dark times are looming, and somehow society has to deal with it. That's what it's about, too, and that hesitation ends in flames. The last two episodes were just Shōnen-esque yumminess. We got a hyped up start that continued with all the consequences into the second half and it was still a good show, even if it slowed down. Except for the part where they played kindergarten, it was a very above average anime and as I’ve already written, it ended great. The last two episodes knew how to nail you to your chair with their intensity. Who would have expected that. Sure, the previous series was a bit better; this one unfolded nicely too, whether we're talking about the school festival or Gentle Criminal (again, a different type of fight, and it's good that it was there because it helps Midori grow). My Hero Academia is still my favorite current Shōnen, and this series merely reinforces that. It's got it all, yet again – hope, battles, suspense, poignancy, and amusement in a hilarious mix. Not to mention that all the characters are getting us somewhere, we're always learning something new about them, and even the enemy doesn't sleep; whether it’s the bad guys or the general fear or uncertainty. A very strong 4 stars.
