I'm one of those full breed Otaku that consumes both anime and manga content.
Anime, with it's eye catching animations and colours, having 2-3 chapters combined on frames per seconds and everything packed in a 23-24 minutes animated episode.
Then the manga, the originals work in black and white or colored. This is the one in which the reader is fully immersed in the show. Reading panel after panel and imagining the scenes just how it would be depicted in an animation or even better.
These are the two main sources of anime goodness, there are still light novels and other media but these are the ones that are most known.
I've read the manga of quite a lot of series, also watched the animation and some times (all times) I've unintentionally compared them, and almost all of them has had their animation fall off compared to the manga. So that's why I decided to not watch the anime of a show in which I've already started the manga.
Of course there have been some shows who's animations have just been a treat to behold, and this is just one of those shows.
My Hero Academia Anime Review
Plot
In a world full of individuals with powers called quirks, people see scenes straight out of the comic books as heroes and villains are active in real life.
Izuku Midoriya is a boy who was born without a quirk, yet he has the heart of a hero most of all. This quality moves the number 1 Hero, All Might and makes him share his quirk with Midoriya.
Now the current beater of the Quirk One For All, Midoriya is saddled with the responsibility of owning this power and preparing for his fated clash against true evil All For One.
I've already read this manga. Wonderful story, Moving plot, characters that you won't easily forget and action scenes that leave your adrenaline spiked.
To be honest there are loads of manga like these, yet the difference with MHA comes with the anime adaptation.
I'll put it out simply. I'm yet to see an anime adaptation of a series that is as wholesomely done like My Hero Academia.
Firstly we'd have to talk about the pacing of the show.
The ability to put as much as possible yet make viewers not lose interest is built on the interesting plot of the show and the quality of the episodes.
The cinematography of each episode is wonderful, the spectacular interpretation of the scenes from the manga makes viewers feel as close to the show as possible.
The cinematography is another incredible feat. 7 seasons and counting and it seems the quality keeps on getting better and better.
Studio Bones really showing it's prowess with this show and I'm terribly impressed.
The lighting, the musical pieces, sound effects and everything blends in so nicely to give you the viewer the best experience possible.
The action scenes still leave me reeling from adrenaline ecstacy I was in.
After producing works like Bunguo Stray Dogs and Mob Psycho 100, studio Bones have already shown its prowess with complex action scenes.
Yet those previous shows don't hold a candle to what they're doing in my Hero Academia.
The scenes of the unconventional moving heroes like Bakugo is one that continuously amaze me.
The fact that one hardly see's a break in his movement speaks loads about the animation supremacy.
After so much spins, turns, stops and explosions and it looks as realistic and fluid as possible.
I'm about to start Season 6 and I can't wait for what it has in store. I already know what's going to happen, yet I'm curious to how it was shown to happen.
And for those who may have not read nor watched this show, I totally recommend it.
It's an unbelievable 10 out of 10 and you cannot regret it!!
