So, I have loved the superheor franchise for a long long time and thus I absolutely enjoyed and loved My Hero Academia. It was my favorite Anime for years, I think Seasons 1 to 3 are probably one of the best Anime experiences I ever had and I can recommend them to absolutely everyone who loves the Supernatural and a lot of Action. From Season 4 on the Anime started to become a bit crazy, but not necessarily bad. Arc 1 was still pretty fire and Arc 2 was a little letdown but ended with a pretty nice to watch bang so it was fine. in S5, especially second arc, everything began to derail a bit I would say, but not completely terribly. Giving the League of Villains more screentime and meaning was a pretty good idea, especially because there was so much to discover for every member and it was overall a pretty crazy Arc. It was also, unfortunately, the first major point were "Powercreep" started to take effect (maybe the second if we account for Deku in S5 Arc 1 I suppose). And while that wasnt a major Issue for S5, it kinda started to become one in S6.

Now, while I was being pretty brief above, I have to take a little, more spoilerheavy dive into S6 and 7 here, so be warned (If you read a review about final Season it prob wont matter but still).

S6 and S7 were, in my opinion, easily the worst BnH Seasons. The entire beginning of the war was kinda rediccolous. Gigantomachia is probably the worst plothole I've ever seen in an Anime, holy shit that guy is whack. Shigaraki starts to become too insane for his Own good. Especially physically, not really mentally. The Anime starts to approach a point were you realize that nothing really matters anymore. Shigaraki is absolutely broken with all for one's Quirk, he is basically unbeatable, and whenever something MIGHT be able to actually beat him, the Anime just gets rid of it via some weird shit (Like Aizawa, atleast partially). It doesnt get any better with other LoV character either. Of course, Twice is dead which was a pretty bold but necessary move, but somehow they still managed to go completely crazy with his Quirk with Toga, Dabi is just a big LMAO moment, even tho I would say his Storyline with the Todoroki-Family is still the best out out of all them but it's kinda....eh, yea. Spinner, who solely lives off of his personality suddenly gets broken because "We need MORE troublemakers" and now his personality gets kinda gutted for the rest of the war (Final Season not included!) and don't even get me started with AFO. How they managed to make one of the coolest and most interesting Villains ive ever seen into such a whack ass mess is a mystery for me. AFO is really one of the biggest let-downs together with Shigaraki during this War, except for the little, minor difference, that Shigaraki kinda manages to get a proper, final moment. AFO just sucks through and through lmao.

From the Hero-Side, I don't have as much criticism honestly. Deku is kinda redicolous of course, Bakugo just patching himself up by sweating really hard and with a bit of help was defenitly something, and the entire stuff were all the Heroes start to get discorouged feels a bit odd at times ig, but its not as big of a deal. I actually even think that the second Arc in S6 was a pretty pleasant surprise. Of course, it only adds to the craziness that is Deku, but atleast it was a bit different and brought up some much needed "calm" compared to the shit that was going on before and continues after.

Now, about the actual important part. If Season 6 and 7 went so crazy in a bad way, what does the Final Season actually do to patch this up? Pretty good Question, and I don't quite understand it myself. I'll just say it right away, I feel like there is quite a lot of nostalgia going on that may manipulate my reasoning a bit, but I still gave it my best effort to kinda figure out what I actually like so much about it.

The first part is probably just the fact that all the chaos actually gets resolved. That was inevitable, obviously, but it's still overall just a good thing. With all the single fights coming to an end, you actually get the feeling that something happens. Progress, yooooo. Something that was pretty much absent for.....46 damn Episodes. Yea, sounds crazy, I know. Either way, that alone doesn't help with all the issues that the war brought with it of course. Especially not with the 2 biggest issues: AFO and Shigaraki. And I'll just be straight forward. Basically all of the Issues I have with this Season are completely tied to AFO. He is dead! Oh no, he isn't. But NOW he'll die!!!! Oh....yea no, nevermind. Well but NOW he must be dead for sure!!!!!! Oh........ Okay but this time he literally evaporated into nothingness due to Eri's Quirk, there is no way he'll come back aga-...... Yea, that is pretty much all there is to him for this. His entire Persona get's just smacked around in the room, he is completely broken and unkillable for hardly a reason and it just feels redicolous. Throughout the entire time the Heroes fight him, you never have the feeling that any of this achieves anything which is a major issue from S7 that carries over to Final Season. Of course, you get a few snippets and pieces from his backstory, and being completely honest, I think they are pretty nice as well, but it's just gets overshadowed by how much nonsense he brings apon the entire franchise. That he manages to overtake Shigaraki after he lost wasn't even a got plottwist either, because of course their had to be one final battle with the power of Friendship against the truly big bad evil demon lord!!!! Urgh, atleast the one Episode with the fight wasn't completely bad I guess, so let's just move on to Shigaraki.

For the most time I despised Shigaraki way more then AFO, but that actually changed through Final Season. He is of course completely redicolous and doesn't make any fucking sense with his Powers, but atleast in the Final Season, that hardly matters. Changing the fight with him and Deku into a fight with One for All against All for One and Shigarakis mind was actually.....a pretty decent Idea? Okay so, maybe the idea sounds pretty whack on paper, but in all honesty, Shigaraki was so blatantly OP and unreasonably broken, how on earth would you find a way to actually beat him without raising the stakes over and over again. So they had to introduce some way to stop that continuisly raising ceiling, and that was honestly pretty well done. It feels like Shigaraki was never truly beaten, because thats what the devs made him. Something unbeatable. And forcing a way to let him "give up" was fine imo. It was also emotionally pretty well done and it kinda helped Shigaraki to redeem himself as a Character which I am extremely glad it happened. Because I did like him a lot, but not as a overpowered beast, but instead just as a kinda weird but also enjoyable Villain that you could follow along. (Unlike a certain other Villain that just went out of a serious as a massive joke....cough AfO cough)

ANYWAYS! So what about the conclusion of the Anime? The final few Episodes? Hard to say. I think they were good. Deku doesn't just managed pull through by the power of.....believing, but instead found another way. And that kinda just goes for everyone? Spinner managed to do what he set as his own goal without stopping being the kind of Villain that once entered the League. Dabi still being alive is extremely questionable of course, but I think it kinda helps with the Todoroki plotline and giving Endeavor a proper chance to atone, and I kinda appreciate that. The family is still broken apart, but it feels like it all had a meaning and something actually happened. Not all the students just becoming broken new Heroes either helps a lot with realism and you get a feeling that.....sociaty actually changed a bit from these events.....which, yea, makes a lot of sense. It's a happy ending that just kinda feels well rounded with some edges that are there for a reason and shouldn't just disappear. It doesn't unnecessarily try to extend it's duration either.

The Story Boku no Hero tried to tell was Dekus from the very first Episode, and it does truly end with most things rounded up and resolved. Character-Growth and changes that feel earned, and when all is said and done.......I still think that BnH created one of the most mesmerizing worlds in Anime history, even tho it kinda lost its track for a final, way too long and redicolous, war. I dropped the Anime during S7 but decided to give it another shot to redeem itself with its ending, and I don't regret it. Despite a lot of frustration over the years, I can say, that as a big, old fan of the frenchise......I am quite happy that I witnessed an End, that gave me the opportunity to realize one final time, that this Anime did have, in fact, a lot of Magic too it.
