The moments are wonderfully conceptualized for the screen, and continue to be entertaining even during a re-watch. Important cast members receive fulfilling character development. While it is certainly action packed, it isn’t stifling or overbearing either. Like its predecessor before it, the pacing in this season is noteworthy and very well done. The imagery and sound design adequately represents these struggles perhaps better than season 1 ever could. My Hero Academia lends itself to a certain level of emotional maturity, characters have to work hard and be assets to their society. The animation follows these dynamic shifts as it needs to, aiding and uplifting the key moments that makes the series stand strong. This is a bright and airy series, right up until it isn’t. All of that is skillfully wrapped in a fresh coat of hero colored paint. The series is packed with beautifully bombastic fights, and a fair amount of atmospheric drama. However, at its best you’re going to get some amazing attention to detail. There’s nothing to complain about at its absolute worst. Fluid animation and mindful sound design holds up even at its weakest points. Studio Bones comes back stronger than ever in this iteration. Production-wise, My Hero Academia is a masterpiece of production and planning in season 2. The image above, even though it is completely mundane showcases the worst of the baseline standard. To look at why, we should probably begin with the surface level production. I personally find that season 2 was actually much better than season 1, raising the bar higher than I thought it would back in 2017. So, enter in season 2, another strong entry in the series and marked improvement to the My Hero Academia universe. There wasn’t much that you could complain about.Īside from small nitpicks or just a general dislike of the genre itself, it would be difficult to just dislike the show. Season 1 introduced us to a strong cast of compelling characters, gave us amazing fights, and deeply intertwined character struggles. The introduction to this series was a strong one. Today I’m moving onto talking about season 2.Īs a reminder, the first season of My Hero Academia, also known as Boku no Hīrō Akademia, features the next several steps of Deku and his hero’s journey.
