Bones proving that a studio can love a title more than its author.

This 7th season took us with 0 expectations, due to how unhappy the end of the manga left us. Bones knew how to take that indifference on the part of the fans and rekindle the spark of love that one has for this work. Impeccable animation, highlighting key points of the story and giving us a more memorable narrative, in what is supposed to be the highest point of the story.

Bones knew how to correct many mistakes that the author made in the manga. The biggest problem with the manga was wanting to tell many stories on many different fronts. The anime does not decrease the number of stories, nor the number of scenarios, what it does is simply condense the stories. The best example would be the Todoroki family subplot, in the manga it felt eternal, that it was not going anywhere and ended up lengthening the final arc without any kind of grace, it was just one more stone in the road. This same story in the anime was only one chapter long and it ended up being more emotional than its drawn counterpart. By condensing all the stories so that each one could be one chapter or one and a half chapters long, it allows both heroes and villains to shine, because at the end of the day, all the story arcs that had been handled throughout the work are being closed.

Special mention to Uraraka vs Himiko Toga, in the manga it already seemed like a beautiful story to me, but the anime came to improve it even more. The animation, the soundtrack, the work of the seiyuus, everything that an anime can contribute to this type of story, it did it in the best possible way. If you don't want to watch the whole season and you're just curious about this mini story, then do yourself a favor and go watch chapter 20 and 21 of this season.

A season that I felt was only released to fulfill the contract, ended up transforming into a love letter to the story that is told. A love that the entire fandom had already thrown away, but fortunately the most fervent fan was still there to tell us that a good story could still be told with this material. Thank you, Bones, for being that fervent fan.
