Mob Psycho 100 is a story of a young boy who struggles to overcome his student life because of his power who hold him back and turned him into a shell who has locked his emotions after a traumatizing event he always remembered from his childhood. And that's the message behind this anime: magical power doesn't mean everything and can even be troublesome if you're "naturally" gift.
The way the story was executed was simply spectacular and blew my mind in many ways. If you've watched Final Space, you wouldn't be surprised to hear that Mob Psycho can turn to a laugh-fest into a dramatic
...
moment right off the bat.
It doesn't matter how much theories you can make, you will always be surprised by the turn of events and how well it can actually become. Despite being a shounen, it overcomes cliche and makes fun of it but not in a disrespectful way. The beauty behind Mob Psycho resides in its character and charming story, focusing on Shigeo Kageyama (Mob) relationship with others.
This second season offers new feelings that taste even better than the first season. Don't get me wrong, the first season placed the foundation and fundamentals of the series, but season II delves even deeper and provides even greater satisfaction. A long await for those who watch the first season, but an excellent reward when it was released.
The soundtrack is pleasing to hear, and season II doesn't hold back on it. Giving an outstanding movie-like visual with amazing choreography, I've never seen this sort of well-animated graphics before. Nevertheless, if you've watched Fate Apocrypha, I give to them that they've made great looking scenes despite a huge problem in understanding what was happening. However, in Mob Psycho, we can clearly sense what's going on and we can easily notice the sides characters doing their jobs. With the fight scene, everyone got their chance to shine and even the main character who's extremely powerful is beatable in many different ways, and show to us "you can be what you want to be" if you have the will and the heart to do so. (By the way, several episodes were released at the theater)
In other words, you won't find any other anime that has the charm One can offer. You will be ablaze on how the life lesson behind this anime can be related so well in our lives despite being in a society who contained superpowers deities. Superpower can ruin your life, and can't bring you, friends, easily. The main character is a pure cinnamon roll, that even after growing up still has a pure heart willing to do what's necessary if needed to, but still aim for the greater good. Each and every author are different, and I claim One is a genius at storytelling and creating a link between his characters. If this seems biased to you, know that I've watched many different movies, animes, and series and now know what it's like when the author knows what he's doing with his character, and where to make them truly shine and how to develop them.

It has been a long time since I haven't done a review, so here we go. I will maintain my spoiler low so don't be scared! So let's resume the beginning of the first season before I jump toward the juice of the second season.
Boku no Hero Academia was at a first glance a comedy show for me, seen Deku being bullied a lot by Bakugou, which is a recurrent character throughout the story.
However, it was after each minute that I understood my mistake. What a great mistake I have done. The first meeting between All Might and Izuku made me feel extremely sad for
...
the main character, seeing how his dream was being crushed apart from his favorite star since his childhood. Imagine if your favorite idol, who you have been watching constantly met you alone and said you that your dream of following his ambition his foolish and can't be obtained because you simply lack the power to do so...
I didn't expect that. I didn't expect this show to go dark so early. I didn't expect philosophy of life to go all out.
But right after the end of the episode, thing keep moving out quickly. I was sad, happy and hype in a single episode that I couldn't saw time flying fast. And at the end of the first episode, I teared up like a crybaby. And the whole season was exactly the same as a start: Permanent cliffhanger, character development, extremely powerful music, a flashy and interesting art along the great enjoyment I still maintained at a high level.
But wait, this is a review for the 2nd season, right ?! Let's things start moving !!!
I finished catching up the season in only 2 NIGHTS! I usually don't do that so that means that I was hooked. Overall i find the second season even more great than the first one, simply because of the fact that all the characters started growing up and the final of the first season made them change their visions quite a lot, because well, they were near death. We saw flaws and others sides of them that we didn't expect, like why Todoroki was that quiet and saw more spotlight of interesting characters like Tokoyami who got an awesome quirk and seem to be a bro personage. We also saw more bad sides of the heroes organization, like Endeavor who is holding the spot of the second world heroes along the title of the first most bastard dad in the world too. In this season, we're seeing villains that are definitely not killing for the sake of the plot but with a proper ideal. I'm looking at you Stain. In order to not spoil you, let's just say that I was surprised again. I first thought that he was a simple psychopath, but his way of talking is way more interesting and righteous than at my first glance.
Story: 8
I could rate it better, but this isn't the story that makes the series that awesome. It's the quality of the flashbacks and talking that make you into it. They don't stand there talking and forget everything right after, no. They don't fight for one minute and then show other things.
However, many mistakes were made. I mean, how the hell did the school have enough money to create a stadium that his 7x time bigger than a football stadium, organizing a worldwide broadcast tournament where students where shown to be beaten so badly they had to go to the infirmary multiple times, and an invisible girl made it to Izuku class when there must be other overpowered students who applied?
Look, I'm not bashing the whole story of MHA but there is more evidence I could think off. But, they aren't enough to make the whole plot looks bad and there were many epic moment and lessons of life through it which save it. It's like with Star Wars case, this is a like a modern/futuristic/fantasy universe allowing some random things to happen.
Art: 9
The art is really great. They show a lot of details like Bakugou being hurt from the recoiled of a huge explosion he had made in order to make him survived in a fight or some crazy face of Lida and Midoriya when they got fired up but also Stain evil smiled and Shigaraki eyes behind his hands that hide his face and a lot more. But it's also colorful and really fast pace when needed.
Sound: 10
Ok, the sound of the effects mixed with the arts is sublime. It's a perfect fusion between those two that make your jaw fell in a One Piece style. Most of the awesome tracks like "You say to run" are not abused which made them still awesome to hear when you're in, it's more than a meme trust me. But honestly, the music was even better than the first season! They could probably put them in a movie in the right place honestly.
Character: 8
Not really that surprising if you watched the first season. The character development is still there and liked I said, you will understand more the ideal more of the side characters and iconic like All Might, Endeavor, Todoroki hiding his second side...
The way they act, the way you see that even caring and a lawful person like Lida can become mentally break because of a huge impact in their hearts show that nobody is safe from hatred. Heck, even Bakugou is seen less as a brute person because we saw more of his intelligence and the fact that he can recognize his opponents and will always fight them at his fullest even if they are weaker then him, which make him respectable despise his tantrum of words.
However, Todoroki father was one of the main reason why I didn't rate this category by 10. Kicking your wife and son for the sake of making the biggest hero? No, I don't think it would be possible and you would be placed in a prison.
The pervert purple guy is also one of the characters I wish wasn't there. He doesn't have any relevance to the story and removing him wouldn't make anything change, really. I don't know if his main goal is supposed to be funny, but each of his scenes was kind of awkward instead of making me smile. To explain more my opinion about the purple guy case, as for Bakugou case, I didn't like him but I still got it that he was important for the story, making the series more interesting so in a way, I started to like him more and more.
As for the introduction of two new bad guys at the end, I feel like it wasn't a great choice. Why? Only manga readers know who they are and we don't have any information or clues about them, only that they despite Shigaraki way of thinking and then leave without many talking. I would have preferred this scene to be put at the beginning of the season 3, I know they tried to make a cliffhanger at the end but this part was unnecessary, most importantly thanks to the scene at the mall which already settled it.
I also liked the filler episode, but not as well as the others. I mean, it was great to expand froggy purpose, but some moments were quite boring.
Enjoyment: 10
Now, that is a tricky question. I need to stay objectives but also to show my own emotions in this review. I can't guarantee you will like the part I'm writing right here.
Did I say how childish I was when I was watching it? The tingles that I got on my back when the music and flashbacks kicked in the right moments? I just can't wait next week, this is hard. I could hardly contain my lips moving on their own when something amazing happens, which is quite regular in BNHA.
And that what is amazing with My hero academia. Despite all the mistakes I could found by myself, I still was fully hype toward each new scenes, waiting for the next episode to come up.
Overall: 10
This is what I was searching for. A story where a lot of characters are not there just for the sake of being shown and we learned more and more about them. I won't really expand this part because you clearly saw with this review that I'm becoming a fanbo... No, a fangirl because I keep feeling my heartbeats going faster and my emotions being fueled again and again along my mouth moving on its own. I LOVE IT <3!

Boku No Hero Academia follows the journey of a young boy trying to achieve the dream of becoming a hero, inspiring his ideal from the top hero that ever exist: All Might.
However, this young boy is quirkless, which means that he doesn't possess any powers at all compare to his school where he is the only one in that case. Even tainted by the bullying he is getting from his idea of becoming a hero despite his situation, he isn't giving up and even met All Might, the person who saved him.
But after a harsh discussion between the two and learning the dark secret
...
behind All Might and his life situation, All might clearly state that only being a police officer would fit for his cases. Izuku Midoriya who will be the main character if the story didn't give up and even tried to save someone who was bullying him the most since school from a villain who couldn't be beaten by any pro heroes present on the scene. Thinking about his books, he had the idea of throwing his backpack which clearly shows that this short kid definitely knows how to make up strategy in a crucial moment. All Might, who was scared to jump in finally accepted it thanks to the kid who shows him how a hero must work works and gave him back the spirit he had before.
And that is where it all started. Despite the blame he received from the pro heroes, he saved the spirit of All Might and he gave him his power because hence All Might possess a power that can pass through the generation and he deemed Izuku as the next successor of "One For All."
Story: 8
The only flaw of Boku No Hero Academia would be the story which is basically isn't what make how much popular the anime is. Sure it's heartwarming a lot and the cliffhanger are there, but it's just a normal story of someone becoming a hero. But that doesn't mean it's bad! The way they pull it off make it extremely enjoyable along the flashbacks that are placed well and not too much, not overflooding the anime.
Art: 10
The visual of BNHA is remarkable. They are matching well with the sounds impact, as well as being colorful, flashy and we can clearly understand what is happening even when things are moving extremely fast like in a battle or a crucial moment. When there are some comedy scenes the face drawn are well funny or even cute during some occasions. The model of each character are well made and the little details they put, like when someone is doing a fist, their eyes and facial features reacting toward the action make it even greater. There is a lot of details here and there that make the visual enjoyment even better.
The opening is awesome and hype me a lot. The angles and movements they are doing with the camera is lovely along the amazing transitions (Like when Izuku start running on the screen and the background suddenly change)
Sound: 10
Nothing more to add apart from the fact that they are awesome to hear. They are placed when needed and not abused.
Character: 10
The character development in this anime is really one of its strongest points. Even with the flood of characters Bones did manage to show off each character's personality and powers well.
Enjoyment: 10
Extremely pleasant to watch. It's great and did satisfy my taste well.
Overall: 10
A note that this anime truly deserve and made its way into a good rank and it's easily understandable. If you still haven't watch it then go on now!

After watching the whole series,i decided to write a review about this amazing show.
So basically in the beginning : A character named Natsuki Subaru went on a new Fantasy world, containing powers, a medieval and lovely place. Buying some stuffed at a market by blinking his eyes in the real world,more precisely in Japan was his traveled method. After failing miserably by trying to save someone, Subaru finally understood that he didn't possess any power at all... That what he though on the beginning. A torturous loop happen again and again where he died, after finally founding happiness and a beautiful girl who saved her,
...
and Subaru understand after his second death that he possess not really a power,but instead a curse : Return by Death.
Subaru as a neet still possess a huge strength in hand combats, letting him kicking the ass of three street thugs, wearing a huge weapons and also act really fast on his feet, which means he is not fully hopeless. He also possess some courage, but broke up after some dramatic death and it's totally under-stable.
So, this story will showed you a new and more serious Kono suba !
So, do you like watching the main character suffering and growing up?
Do you like amazing music ? Amazing opening and ending ?
Do you like comedy? Do you like Tragedy? Do you like crying and feeling happy after watching a episode ? Then, Re:Zero is for you.
Story : 8/10
The Story is interesting, but could have been explained better. It's still have some great plot twist, and the cliffhanger are ALWAYS present.
Some awesome scene were skipped from the Light novel, which i don't understand why. Maybe because they doesn't had enough time ? But still. It's really a shame for me.
Art : 8/10
The art is good, but some scenes possess too much camera shaking, which reduce the enjoyment i had.
Otherwise, i also like the design of each character, and the CGI made the world around alive. The flashback were also really well place in each scene, and some face of Subaru are so well drawn when he goes wrong, you really feel disturb when need by watching it.
Unfortunately, the last episode of the series were becoming worse with the arts, maybe because they were starting to lack of budget and time. But it was still great overall !
Sound : 10/10
The sound was really something wonderful and powerful. It's the typical music that bring you tears of joy, and put some tingles on your back. The track of Re:Zero could even reach some level of music movies !
Character : 10/10
Oh god, the Character are soooo amazing ! I love them all so much. They all have something interesting that i like.
Natsuki Subaru : Oh god, his voice. Some people find him annoying, but i love hearing him. The voice actor put and awesome job on him.
Also, Natsuki Subaru always changed and surprised me.
Well, i find all voice in this show really good, thumbs up for all the voice actor !
Enjoyment : 10/10
When i'm watching and anime and realizing that i have to wait one more week to see another episode, it's mean for me that i really enjoyed this.
Everything was well done perfectly to make me enjoyed more and more each episode, White fox did and awesome job.
Like i said before, the cliffhanger are always present, along with amazing soundtrack. I feel hype at every episode !
Overall : 10/10
It was a great surprise, and i don't regret watching it even with the negative comment about it.
This show is truly a masterpiece for me, and nobody can make me change my though about it. It's true that it contain some lack, but overall it doesn't matter for me. One of the best anime that i watched.
Everybody rating it shit are of course some people who doesn't watch it seriously and though it was a harem by looking at the main picture, it's truly a shame.
