This season, My Hero Academia has given us one quality episode after the other – and "Japanese Hero Bilboard Chart" keeps that momentum rolling along. It was interesting to see how they are finally trying to get things back around to superhero action again. This episode proved much more of a balance between slice-of-life anime […]
This new vibe of offering viewers more intimate, behind-the-scenes moments appears here to stay – at least for the time being – on My Hero Academia… and I am definitely good with that. This episode was well-structured on a number of fronts and brought tears to my eyes for many reasons. From beginning to end […]
It was one thing having to wait for the midseason return of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty when our lives were normal and we had a number of other pop culture "shiny objects" to keep us distracted. But now with more and more of us finding ourselves in lockdown… self-quarantining… social distancing… and every other […]
The second part of this season of My Hero Academia has had more of a slice-of-life anime vibe; however, last episode brought us back to the action we are quite used to. This episode started right where it left off and showed how Deku is more than capable of holding his own against a villain… […]
On My Hero Academia "Gold Tips Imperial", we continue to see Class 1-A giving their best to prepare for the upcoming School Festival. Once again, not much really happens in this episode. Mostly set-up… but for what? Hmmm… However, I am sure that we will soon be up to our quirks in impeding doom before […]
On My Hero Academia "Prepping for the School Festival Is the Funnest Part", we get to see Class 1-A put together the plans for the school festival. While the vibe is amazing and it is nice to see them back in the school setting, not much really happened in the episode. At least it moved […]
Last episode of My Hero Academia kept the chill vibe going, and I am very glad to see our heroes-in-training back to the school setting. I know it might seem weird and oddly anti-climactic after a few of them almost died fighting the Shie Hassaikai – but we all needed some unwinding after a ton […]
This past weekend's episode of My Hero Academia was so much better than the last one. I think they could have shaved off some of the "apologetic crying teacher" and make it one episode instead of two-and-a-half. That said, it was much more enjoyable and made my heart so happy. Yes, it was weird… but […]
Let me start by saying that My Hero Academia "Win Those Kids' Hearts" was… okay (you can check out my review of last week's episode here). I think it was good in terms of setting up for the next one, but not my favorite in regards to content. While I enjoyed certain aspects, it moved […]
Last week's episode of My Hero Academia was an attempt to return to real life after saving Eri… you know, being a student while saving the world. They always have these type of light-hearted episodes between story arcs. However, this time there was something different: our heroes in training left part of themselves on the […]
With My Hero Academia S04E14 "Bright Future", viewers got the "sequel" we were hoping for – wrapping up and showing us the aftermath of the fight against the Shie Hassaikai. Even after three amazing episodes, it all felt like it was building up to this one on so many levels. Talk about an incredibly emotional […]
This week's episode of My Hero Academia picks up exactly where things left off last episode. It was a little bit slower and with a bit more exposition than I have seen this season so far – though once again, I was expecting this as the season continues to offer different perspectives. Another episode that […]
Starting where it left off, this week's episode of My Hero Academia continued the quality momentum started with the season opener. It was a bit slower-paced than the past couple of episodes, with a bit more exposition than I have seen this season so far. However, the character development was definitely worth the words. I […]
This week's episode of My Hero Academia started off pretty much where it left off – and then took off like a rocket from there. While I was not happy we did not get amuch Class 1-A, I really appreciated the little moments they pepper in every once in awhile to show they are still […]
The fourth episode of this season of My Hero Academia was truly an amazing one – and I will confess that it nearly had me sniffling. It was wonderfully paced, with writing and dialogue handled beautifully throughout. So far, they have done a great job with not over-doing it with exposition, adding in some excellent […]
With its third episode, My Hero Academia continues what's looking to be a strong fourth season. First, I loved the way recaps were handled in this episode—actually, this season in general: it helps establish Deku's growth as a character without just rehashing clips. While it may only last the span of three minutes, it did […]
I often struggle with two things: finding new anime that keeps me glued to the screen and finishing shows. Demon Slayer totally destroyed both of those issues. I could not stop watching and now I have spent the last day sulking around Crunchyroll because I don't know what to do with myself or what to […]
When I grew up in the Dominican Republic, Cartoon Network used to play anime during the day, Mondays through Sundays as part of their regular animation schedule.Flash ahead to this past week, with the announcement of November’s "Toonami" line-up change Cartoon Network still continues to find a way to surprise viewers (myself included) with news[...]
Funimation gave the Otaku crowd a chance to experience a taste of what is to come in the fourth season of My Hero Academia, set to premiere on Saturday, October 12. They were kind enough to show us a compilation of the first three episodes of the season. Here's a look at some of our […]
On Friday during the anime's NYCC panel/screening at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, Funimation gave us a chance to experience some My Hero Academia before it premieres later in October. The panel was moderated by Jacki Jing (Nerdist/IGN) who announced right away that they had a big treat for us: a compilation of […]
