Boku no hero academia anime



Izuku Midoriya is a regular middle school student in a world where people with superpowers known as "Quirks" (個性 Kosei) are the norm. However, he dreams of one day becoming a Hero (ヒーロー Hīrō), despite being bullied by his classmates for not having a Quirk. After being the only one to try and save his childhood bully, Katsuki, from a Villain (敵(ヴィラン) Viran), All Might, the world's greatest Hero, bestows upon him his own quirk, "One For All". The story follows Izuku's entrance into U.A. High School (雄英高校 Yūei Kōkō), a school that cultivates the next generation of Heroes.

Boku no hero academia or My hero academy (not like how japanese are translated it to English: My hero academia...okay okay my English isn't perfect either...) is something new to see these days. Don't mind that it is basic story from a loser to a winner but its visual style is worth to see. This series look is something that you either like or don't. It's very unique looking and different from today's mainstream anime styles. But that said it's still not something fully new. Actually if we look closer this kind of look was really popular in starting era of anime history. How could I say...this weirdly structured and over comical characters remind me of Gegege no Kitaro (started in 60's) and other that era's shows.




I don't know if I'm seeing patterns where isn't any but I swear here is one! these, let's say these last two years 60's style, is rising little bit in to today's shows. Where? At least Kill la kill and Little witch academia has same vibes.




Here is proof if somebody doesn't agree.


One other old trend is also rising here. Not only in anime field but also in movie/Tv show entertainment which is supper maaaans! *fanfare music* Especially old japanese and western (mainly America) styled super heroes. All super fans of old super hero genre raise and shine it's your era now! *goes small hole and waits for horror and fantasy genre to show again in future* Okay I don't hate super hero genre it's just not my thing. Usually. But for once I have to say thou this shouldn't be to my liking I'm actually waiting very eagerly second season (which I have heard to be announced).
It's fun how this show created hilarious super heroes and villains from old day heroes. Best example is All Might. Yeah...he is very...American super hero in that er...spandex outfit and ridiculously muscles.


He looks almost like Marvel's Captain America. With little bit different clothes. All Might's clothes could actually fit Captain well.
Lot of heroes fighting and defending good people in silly costumes.


Midoriya: Can I become hero too?

Nope. You don't have that little weird thing in your toe. Sorry. That's it. Your toe isn't your foe. (lolol bad jokes)


Midoriya: I can't...oh I should knew. Because of that toe's bone I don't have super powers... (what the hell is that thing anyway with toe's bone...shouldn't it be seen in my brain instead or something if I do have powers or don't....)


All Might: Don't believe her. She is always nagging! You can be hero! Here have some of my super powers!


Midoriya: Yeah! I can be hero now thanks!

Yeah, kinda but you can't use your powers almost all because it will broke your body every time.

Midoriya: What???!!!!!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Yeah.. sad, ha? So kinda nothing changed. And top of that don't follow that all mighty behaving All Might guy. Because he-


All Might: Don't say it!

Because this is who he really is.

Midoriya: Aaargh!

Midoriya: I- I... I think I can live with this. I mean I don't really look very hero like in my appearance either.....

You missed the point. He's true identity! He's identity! Damn you really are useless! He has changed his name but really he is Yugi! *tuntuntuuuuuun!!


He addicted so much to playing card games that almost died! And now he has sword to forget about monsters and be hero himself! Watch out! You will be possessed too! You have taken his power inside of you!


Yeah, now I'm happy. >:D Geheheh
Talking about heroes. This show has many of them and they are interesting with nice/ridiculous powers and action full scenes but if something I feel that villains didn't have enough space yet in this story. Especially the worst villains that attacked hero school. So that is something I'm looking after in second season. Have happy times you hero and action lovers! This one is great for yo all! See ya!

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei anime



Magic—A century has passed since this concept has been recognised as a formal technology instead of the product of the occult or folklore. The season is spring and it is time for a brand new school year. At the National Magic University First Affiliate High School, A.K.A Magic High School, students are divided into two distinct groups according to their academic performances. The "Bloom," who demonstrate the highest grades and are enrolled in the "First Course," and the "Weed," who have a poor academic record and are enrolled in the "Second Course." This spring, a very peculiar brother and sister enrol as new students. The brother is an under achiever with some deficiencies and enrols as a "Weed," while his younger sister is a honor student, who enrols as a "Bloom." The brother, with a somewhat philosophical expression, and the younger sister who holds feelings a little stronger than sibling love for him... Ever since these two have entered through the gates of this prestigious school, the calm campus was beginning to change...


This anime was listed one of the popular animes in one site so I had high hopes for this one. The story starts very nicely and has mystery about two siblings background. I felt plot setting was also nice that there were two groups in school the ones that are thought as better ones and not so good ones. Rivalry between them was interesting to follow. Also idea of how magic works in this world was interesting and felt unique. That was one of the main reasons I started to watch this anime.


Yes, It rises hope indeed. Well technology and magic is nicely bonded in this story and I like how it's mechanism was introduced. One example was how flying magic works. It's always nice to see that things are thought well and not only explained as the theory of love or I-can-do-random-magic-thou-I-don't-know-it-works-it-just-happens-lol. Especially when magic is bond with technology.

Talking about magic I need to admit that the secret siblings had was something else that I thought first. Well you can't blame me that I thought Tatsuya is a robot. Yeah, I thought he is an agent robot or something like that. He doesn't have any feelings at all! What ever is situation he always has same look! (why this sounds familiar....oh yeah..Ragnarök the anime..). He also can restore himself even from death! He looks and acts like a robot!


He doesn't seem to have any emotions. Emotionless robot!

Miyuki: My dear brother isn't emotionless robot!

If that's true then why you are the only one who gets all of the feelings that he should have? Are you maybe his lover or something that you need to defend him so much?

Miyuki: Uhm... I would love to be.... and Tatsuya only has some emotions when it's about me...


Others: Whaat!? You two weren't just fooling around! You really love each other that much!? Is this anime that badly written that we need needless sibling complex that actually doesn't have much back story!?

...Then...You aren't a robot? Right, Tatsuya?


Uh...Okay I don't mock your sister anymore... Err.. let's move on to your secret (not the love one).
So Tatsuya and Miyuki go to a magic school but they are more powerful than what they tell. Also Tatsuya is some genius machine maker. Fits for a robo-


Okay okay! He's a master magic machine maker. To that point every episode was nice to follow and I liked to hear more about their a secret. But after all this a nice school life and a competition scheme I felt my interest faded away quickly. Some how all this changed to a war story. All details were somewhat not very clear and who was who and why they did it. It felt like I skipped many episodes without knowing it. I hoped that maybe all those family matters and war things would be introduced more and better later on but even a final episode ended weirdly. It felt like this wasn't a full story. I looked from Internet that maybe this one actually was second season or something but found out that it wasn't. Also I doubt that it's not gonna get a second season though ending episode felt like it should have. I found out this anime was based on many light novels and manga so maybe that's why it felt so scattered.

I'm not even interested about most of the characters in this show because they are seen so damn many times (looks and temperaments). The quiet introvert one (I think this is what Tatsuya is meant to be but fails ), happy neighbour friend, calm and playful lady, some random charas that doesn't even have clear temperament, tough fighter boy, clever bookworm boy, child-like happy shy girl, tomboy redhead girl, shy kind bookworm girl and so on.

 
I mean really? Can't you have more imagination with these?

One from this anime and one from Suzumiya Haruhi. These two could look to mirror and see others faces without realising it's not their own!


 Faceless: I don't care! Gimme any face! I will pay you! Even a generic one is okay for me!

No! It's not what ever matter! It matters that charas are well designed so that anime history won't stop here, will evolve and keep interesting!

Let's face one other not so nice thing in this series: I didn't except this to have sibling complex but also little mix of harem. It's not well showed but you can see some elements of it. I wonder why this anime is full of starts of plots which then are forgotten later on. Well with harem plot I'm not sorry that it didn't grow bigger.


But hey seriously what those all see in Tatsuya-robot? Only his mad skills? Hey high hopes for ones who doesn't have anything inside them but skills and still girls are over them! XD lol. There is no reasons why all those girls clearly start to like him more than friendly way.

But at least all this sibling complex and harem thing just popped here but didn't go further. It would have been very irritating. It's okay see sibling romance and harem in those stories that are meant to have those but not when they are some kind of little fillers to fill big cracks in a main story.

In nutshell start promised more interesting and cohesive story than what I got. I don't know if I should recommend this to anyone because here isn't even any clear plots going on. Not even fan service plot that could interest someone so maybe we will just quietly bury this in anime history. (I need to read all the novels and manga to see if original story is better to recommend to even someone)!
