#19: My Hero Academia Two Heroes


Again, not super huge into anime, but a lot of it seems to follow the same format. You get standalone movies like this that are simply extended episodes. Status quo doesn't change so the main storyline can continue.

I did watch 6 episodes or so of the first season of My Hero Academia, but like a lot of anime I come across, I find that it wasn't progressing much. Such is the difference of storytelling. To this day, there are only two works of anime I've watched in full and more than once.

It looks nice, it's fine.  Take the tower, stop the bad guy,  five layers of deceit, more endings than "Return of the King".

I'll pick a background character to get attached to in the main shows (Because I've somehow watched more OVAs than actual anime. Does this count as an OVA?), and I'm glad my choice here, Yaoyorozu (The girl with the kickass hair) got more screentime than what I saw in the main show. I was also fond of Iida ("Does a set schedule mean NOTHING to you people?") and Kacchan (& I know that's a nickname but I can't for the life of me actually find the name on IMDB).

My Hero Academia



I'm not a big anime fan, more from the format and story layout. Many of them are very, very long with only a vague description that doesn't quite entice me to keep watching.

The Last Airbender? Not an anime, but there was a clear goal to get to. I like that.

Cowboy Bebop? Great anime. They putz around in space. Didn't finish it. I did watch the movie.

Something with a very rhythmic title? "Yours is the drill that will pierce the heavens!"? It was pretty cool. Watched it all and it was concise enough to keep me interested. But it clearly left no impact.

Gatchaman CrowdsTiger and Bunny? Even Evangelion? Didn't last too long with me.

Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt? Absolute adore it. I've even got merch. I want a sequel.

Kill La Kill? I love Satsuki. Point blank. I enjoyed the hell out of this.

Hm.
