Following an all-out battle with the Paranormal Liberation Front, it is difficult for the people of Japan to continue placing faith in their heroes. To combat the combined power of Tomura Shigaraki and All For One, All Might calls for his ally from the West—the strongest woman on the planet, Star and Stripe. However, All For One decides to intercept Star and her fleet to get his hands on her overpowered quirk before she can enter Japanese airspace. Although Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist are headed to the rendezvous point, Star makes a gamble in the present to save her comrades. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

The art style is nice and fitting. This anime has amazing animation and build up up to this point, but the round up of characters is very bad and many flaws, they just didnt react in any realists and normal way, manu will like the story. Its just that the story of this season just became very predictable and stupid, constant a*spulls everywhere, heros making stupid decisions just for the sake of the story progress is so unnecesairy...in what world would a hero defeat a villain and just watch and let him save another villain who will pull a even bigger a*spull......

I was really hyped about this season because of the match-ups where the 6th season left off. I was specifically looking forward on the Dabi vs Shoto, while that match-up did not disappoint, the others did. I was also hyped that on the last season, they tease the No.1 Hero from US, which is star and stripes and I think that her quirk is so broken. I was disappointed on that fight, I mean realistically speaking, she's the best bet the world has but they treat her like a fodder, I blame the mangaka for that. Shigaraki is inconsistent, I won't spoil too much butthere's too much plot holes on him, especially after his fight with star and stripes. I also don't like the fact that some kids with a couple of heroes, last longer than star and stripes, well you could argue about eraser being there but still. The mangaka gave the villains too much plot armor here. While watching midway, I became bored with it, sure the mangaka wanted to make the stakes high by letting the villains have plot armor, but I feel like they overused it, it didn't balanced out to me. The only saving grace for me was when (I won't spoil much) a man using a trampoline shows up, I really like that character ever since he first appeared on the show. Overall, it's still watchable, especially if you're invested on the series but to me it won't be higher than the last season. I don't know, maybe I don't like being push too the edge, which happened here.

To keep this short, the original material from the manga covered in this season is great, but this was a poor presentation. After six seasons of carefully covering the original source material, this season throws it all away rushing through as much as possible in each episode. Fights that are abbreviated, excessive flashbacking, summary scenes that should have had full episodes covering the events, and skipped material are abound. This season was at it's best when it focused on one battlefield for an episode or two. It fell apart when trying to cover everything at once. More accurately, it failedto cover much of anything by skipping around from scene to scene. I'd really only recommend this season to people who have already read the manga and want to see some of the battles animated. Otherwise, you are just missing out on too much.

By now, we kind of know what's going on with My Hero Academia Season 7, but it's insane that they've been able to keep up the high pace of action without really making me feel bored - which I feel was a downfall of a series like Naruto Shippuuden. My Hero Academia just does it better. I'll assume you've seen all the prequels for the purposes of this review. Story & Characters: My Hero Academia Season 7's story basically hasn't changed since the previous season. The new Liberation Front, along with One For All, is making it their goal to create complete destructionupon the world, but have set their sights on Deku, being the holder of All For One. Now, with a world threat present, Stars and Stipe, the number one hero from USA has been called to the battlefield and it's up to her to turn the tide of the war. Star and Stripe is awesome. Very early on, they present her backstory where she forms a bond with multiple army vets, none of which really come close to matching the spectacular strength that she holds. I loved it, making her scenes on the battlefield all that more fun, along with her quirk. After her brief arc completes, the rest of the season basically sees us with multiple groups of enemies fighting against each other - akin to the shinobi war that Naruto Shippuuden had. Most groupings that are create make sense from an emotional standpoint, though does have a tendency to drag the plot a little more than I would have liked. Toga's fight was one example of this, even though I kind of get what they were going for. There aren't really more new characters added to the roster, even though this season has twenty one episodes in it. Most of our favourite characters are still present, putting everything on the line - Phantom Thief might have been my favourite from this season, though Shouto, Kachan, Fumikage and All Might are worth mentioning too. Whoever your favourite hero - or villain - might be, they likely got some screen time here. Some uneven pacing here or there is kind of to be expected, but the most upsetting thing might have been the ending because of the cliffhanger they left us with. (Story: 9/10, Characters: 9/10) Art: Animation still feels very consistent, one thing that Naruto never seemed to be able to keep up. They do all their characters justice and I love how each scene looks and feels. (10/10) Sound: Sound doesn't disappoint either with the OST bringing in a bunch of new tracks that fit what we are seeing on screen. I've never been high on the OPs of EDs that this series seems to offer, but that's very minor. Voice cast continue to be amazing, with Luci Christian (Ochako) and Austin Tindle (Phantom Thief) impressing me the most. Top to bottom, this voice cast is top notch. (10/10) Overall: My Hero Academia Season 7 brings the action to the party with basically every episode featuring some fight or another. Even if you're not a big Shounin fan, this season would appeal to most every audience - it's that good, especially if you've been low on some of the previous seasons. With only one season remaining, I really hope they keep up the momentum, because it's been an awesome ride. (10/10)

Coming off of the greatness we had in season 6, this is partly lackluster but still good. The pacing felt a bit off, partly due to being split between so many different locations and groups of people but when it really zeroed in a a certain moment was when it really shined. And there were lots of really great moments in this season with many different characters, giving them all time to shine and have their moments it really does feel like its drawing close to the culmination, I was almost surprised we're still getting another full season. I am very excited to see howit all ends and can't wait for the next season, until then!

It's been a while since I watched the last season of MHA and I didn't even think about the anime anymore, but I decided to watch the seventh since we're so close to the end, and this is an anime that I've been really into in years past, so I'm going to watch it until the end. That being said, I can't make many comparisons with the previous seasons because they're all a big blur, but here we go: The seventh season of My Hero Academia clearly uses the drama artifice a lot, which really moves and engages you, but I have to admit that Imissed some breathing space between all these dramas. Sometimes I binge-watched some episodes, but I had to stop because of all the overstimulation I felt while watching. But don't get me wrong: I got emotional! I don't like to admit that I shed a few tears watching certain scenes. I'm just a girl. I read in another review (which doesn't recommend the anime), where they say they miss how the anime was in the beginning, a little more of the characters' school life, etc. Well, the anime is nearing its end and in its climax arc, a war arc, it is completely natural that the story darkens and becomes heavier, and these moments of fun and youth are drastically diminished. I don't see this as a problem. That said, another thing mentioned in reviews - which I agree with - is the lack of consequences for some characters. Yes, we are at war! Japan is basically destroyed and governments all over the world know about the situation. It is something VERY serious! But even so, the heroes try to stop the villains still with the intention of saving them. What kind of wars are these? I see that the anime no longer feels so sorry for the characters and attacks them brutally, people lose limbs, quirks, some even die (who knows?) but the feeling is that in the end, everything will be fine for everyone, including the villains. Let's see how this ends in the next season. But after all, I didn't think it was bad! It engaged me and made me want to watch it! I mentioned a few things that bothered me but overall it is a great season. Looking forward to the last one.

The pacing of this show has gone completely haywire. This entire season feels like it should have been spread out over multiple arcs rather than crammed together in this one chaotic battle where so much is happening at once with so many different characters and so many different plot points that are all attempting to be resolved simultaneously that it ends up feeling like a chaotic mess of a series that barely resembles the My Hero Academia that was so exemplary in its storytelling in the early seasons. It's as though the author simply got tired of writing it, and so he decided to just rush tothe finish line skipping across entire books straight to the final battle. The result is that none of the personal struggles that each character is coming to grips with gets the space to adequately breathe and tell its story. When everyone is having their personal epiphany all at the same time, it ruins the impact of each individual one. To add on to that, the power scaling in this series has gone completely crazy to the point where none of the fights feel like genuine battles. Rather they all feel like scripted events of deus ex machina after deus ex machina. Villain Plot A is countered by arrival of Hero B from 2 seasons ago, and Villain plot C is interrupted by the sudden awakening of power from Class member D but wait, the villain accounted for that with plot twist E. If you thought the first half of Season 6 was bad in this regard (and I did) then Season 7 is just a LOT more of that. All of that said. The series is still very enjoyable to watch from an animation and music perspective. Despite how choppy the story has become, the art and music of My Hero Academia still manages to convey a lot of heart and emotion even despite the plot's best efforts to ruin all of it. This season is watchable and even somewhat enjoyable in spite of how much it seems to be trying to get itself over with as fast as it possibly can. 6/10

Season 7 of MHA exceeds Season 6 in action and story. The animation is heavenly and absolutely gorgeous, as usual from Bones. Fight scenes are given the best care and the big moments in the story are nice to watch. Soundtrack, as usual, is banger after banger AFTER banger. If you liked the previous season, then you will like this season even more. Some scenes didn't hit as much though as others, but in the end its a well baked product and tastes amazing. Something I also liked aside from the great action, just for shits and giggles, is the chunky tears. My favorite MHA staplethat never ceases to amuse me.

This is definitely a step down fom season 6. While season 7 presents us with some very good moments, what happens in-between in regards to structure and plot is very problematic. This season made more than clear all the issues My Hero Academia suffers from because they are all present and visible in this one arc: the pacing is absoulutely abysmal for a modern show, flashbacks after flashbacks after flashbacks taking major amounts of time and meat from each episode. And most of these are for incredibly dull and uninteresting characters. Which brings me to another issue, the amount of characters this show has isinsane, now of course I am aware that this is the 7th season of a show and that it is the last arc where everyone comes together. But thee way they do it SUCKS! Most of the time a character comes back, its to serve as a Deus Ex Machina to save everyone from the cliffhanger from the episode before, and then they become irrelevant again. In this season alone I can think of 5-6 times off the top of my head that that happened and its not fun nor compelling, its bad writing. Both of these problems become extremely worse due to my third major problem with this season, which is bad structuring and lack of focus: everytime something important happnes we just cut to another place where the war is happening for a few episodes to tackle something else and we lose the sense of urgency and investment of the other storyline. There's even a time where we stop the biggest conflict of the show just to have 2 episodes about racism for some reason. It feels like poor planning in the mangaka's part. And fourth, there are some serious lack of consequences for the characters involved, this is a WAR, heroes we like should be dying or losing their powers to all for one. Whenever that happens it's GREAT and engaging, but the times something incredibly consequential happens it's usually just solved with a Deus Ex Machina and the times it's not solved are few and far between. THis was also a problem last season but it is especially relevant now.

As a long-time fan of My Hero Academia, I have to say that Season 7 exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Nearly every episode brought me to tears (┬┬﹏┬┬), not just because of the intense moments, but also due to the sheer emotional depth it delivered. The story, while familiar to fans of the genre, is still compelling and full of surprises. Even when certain plot points felt predictable, I found myself completely immersed because of how well-executed the narrative is. If you're someone who enjoys the superhero genre, this season will not disappoint. The art style is as beautiful as ever—vibrant and dynamic, perfectly complementingthe fast-paced action scenes. The fight sequences are visually stunning, with fluid animation that enhances every punch and power-up. Beyond the action, the art brings out the emotional weight of the characters' struggles. Speaking of characters, this season did an amazing job fleshing out both heroes and villains. It wasn't just about the main character, Izuku Midoriya. Every villain had a strong backstory, making them feel complex and relatable, rather than just being "the bad guys." The heroes, too, had their flaws and strengths highlighted in a realistic way. You could feel the tension, the uncertainty, and the growth of each character as they faced challenges. Their reactions to the situations felt natural, making it easy to empathize with their journeys. Whether you're a fan of the series or new to it, I believe others will enjoy this season just as much as I did. The balance between emotional storytelling, action, and character development makes it a must-watch, especially for those who have followed My Hero Academia from the beginning. It’s a journey of growth for both the characters and the audience, and Season 7 captures that beautifully.

Well done, but not as EXCELLENT as the manga. I cant explain it. There's just something special in the manga art style and paneling that just isnt coming across for me in the anime. When these chapters were coming out, I was racing to read every new chapter, but I had no problem letting the episodes stack up and bingeing them. I also watched this with someone who hasnt seen all of the other seasons so I had to explain a lot. There were tons of great fights in this season, even more amazing back story. And I like where they ended it with thecliffhanger of the final fight starting to turn around. I cant wait until next season

Great season after a long time. All might is reason enough for me to continue watching this show untill the end. He is one beautiful 2d character whome I admire. From his personality to his strength and to those American smash names. Bro is finally here again with the widest smile possible. Good build up for the final season. It is crazy how it went from being cliche to an absolutely original and unique turn of events. With great and more fluid animations, everything packed a punch. I will admit, it did get a bit bland with the 5th and 6th seasons. But the original MHAis back baby, and it being something I have been watching for 5 years now, I really hope that they end this well. From many memes to emotional moments, this show is definitely close to my heart. This season was full of emotional past moments and great fights and they are definitely cooking, it deserves to be recommended.

i absolutely loved this season. truthfully, i enjoyed every season and every movie of MHA so far but this is the BEST season yet. The fight scenes were SO SO EPIC, bones animated the fight scenes so well that it left my jaw hanging. As this is the final war, it was pretty much expected that there would be some emotional scenes as the characters would be reaching their maximum potential and character growth. the last few episodes were absolutely phenomenal. With peak fight scenes, animation, AND THE SOUNDTRACK, you just can't deny the emotional rollercoaster at the end. i keep watching ep 20 over andover again because the episode is a pure masterpiece. Also, please do listen to the season 7 soundtrack. it's amazing : )

I generally never write a review here, but after completing this latest season of My Hero Academia as of Oct 24, I found that the discussion around it is far too negative. So let me set the record straight - This is, without doubt the best season of My Hero Academia so far. Great OST, amazing fights, great overdue character development and a fantastic story to boot. Fans of the show will be ecstatic to hear the show went from S6 highs to Plus Ultra. We get some iconic scenes from the manga that were eagerly awaited. In typical MHA fashion though, this is not a straightforwardshonen. The heroes are morally grey, so are the villains, and just about everyone is navigating a post apocalyptic world to the best of their abilities. The show does a great job of representing what that post All Might future would feel like. The story feels more brutal and stakes feel ever higher. If you've gotten out of touch over the past few seasons and just want to know if it's worth catching up on? Absolutely yes.

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 totell 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.

When you watch an anime, you want a story that fully captures the emotions of its characters, and this anime excels in that regard. It poignantly conveys the characters' struggles and sadness, illustrating how each one copes in their own unique way. You can genuinely feel their joy; I found myself shouting, crying, and laughing alongside them. The fight scenes in this anime are exceptional, showcasing a diverse array of characters and their abilities. The intricate connections and conflicts among them are rare in the anime world, making it a standout experience. Each character has a distinct personality, and those who have followed the series from thebeginning can truly appreciate their development—both villains and heroes evolve in remarkable ways. The music and soundtrack are perfectly timed, enhancing the emotional impact and keeping viewers engaged in every moment. I can’t wait to see how they’ll wrap everything up in the final part! The anticipation is thrilling, especially after all the character development and emotional moments we’ve witnessed. It’s bound to be an unforgettable conclusion!

This is one of the best seasons of anime I have ever seen in my life. Look, I can kind of understand what MHA haters are getting at sometimes, but I think this season certainly should shut them up, or at least discredit them. There is essentially no filler in this season. No class sessions, no side quests, nor any recap episodes are to be seen here; it's just pure shonen anime. Every episode is insanely intense, making me crave for more every single week. I love how perfectly this season ends, setting up the final season absolutely stunningly. Rarely do we get to seesuch a powerful anime where every episode feels essential and everything we've gone through as a viewer comes full circle here. Characters we fell in love with for just a short arc will make a return in this season, as everyone in the entire series gets to shine in this season. Without question, this is fantastic anime. This is a must watch in general, but MHA fans have no excuse to skip one of the best seasons of anime ever created. One of the best showings of 2024 for sure.

What a great season! I’ve just finished the whole season and I can say that it was a wild roller coaster. It started kinda slow with a lot of flashback from moments before, which was annoying. But then the pacing got a lot better and we could see memorable moments with all class-A students. It had awesome battles, a lot of forgotten characters coming back and amazing closures for some of them. The last episodes were really emotional and moving, and if you were not touched by any episode, you are dead inside. Also, if you watched until here and are hating everything, I mean, just stop??? Iknow the animation had some bad moments, but come on. I can’t wait for the next and last season. I’m pretty sure we all grew up a little bit with our dear class A students. PLUS ULTRA!

(slight spoilers of who fights in one fight) By far my favorite season out of the franchise. I honestly didn't think I would be making a review for this season, but it proved to me enough that it deserved to be at least talked about. I will say this time and time again about Horikoshi’s work; his character writing is his strong suit. And this is wholeheartedly one of the, if not, the reason I decided to even discuss my thoughts on this season. So, we’re in the final arc of the series. The final part of any story is bound to have their characters showing upand that's exactly what Hori did. This arc shows each and every one of his large cast showing out. That is what I love about this finale, Horikoshi is finally shining light on his other characters rather than the fan favorites, which is no doubtably what he should've done way before; but I digress. I love how he had brought in his characters into fights not just for the sake of having that character doing something in the midst of the war, but it was planned out to show the character’s true strength. Specifically, during a particular fight, I liked how Hori tied in “real world” dynamics into his story. In the middle of the fight we can see how society treats animorphs and that is used to help build the characters of his work which are also affected by this. Moving on, towards the end of the season, the final fight actually shown, Ochako vs Toga, was my absolute favorite part to watch. We can finally see the climax of these two’s intertwined story since season 3, and I loved how he tied it all together. Both of these characters had their reasons behind the fight and despite knowing each other beforehand, didn't hold back. Hori uses emotions and past experiences to help us understand both of these characters. In the end, we end up actually feeling bad for the villian, and this isn't the only case. Wrapping this up, Hori uses this technique to help give his other characters their well deserved spot light and not just that but to improve on his already worked on characters. At the end of each battle, we can really see how much these characters have grown, this can be said for all of his cast, both villains and heroes, despite it only being a year since the story began. A story made to focus on heroes is also very focused on the villains too. His villains are not just thrown in to just be somebody the heroes face, but are written to show why they chose to be a villain, and we as spectators, understand why they do what they do. These villains are here to show the two sides of society. If this isn't Horikoshi showing his skill in character writing, then I don't know what is. Nonetheless, this was a great season also productive wise and I can’t wait for how well they handle the actual final part of the story.

The end is drawing near and the final battles are on the horizon, the culmination of all the villain's plans and the heroes acts of protection is coming to ahead, in the final days of the conflict. In this season of My Hero Academia, are we starting to finish off plot lines as the show as a whole is coming to an end. We see the final build up occur as we pass the point of no return for the story. For the plot of the season it is first showing the few events and preparations that happen just before the final showdown between villains and heroes.This sets the stage for the final part and helps setting all the characters in place, for seeing the end for their plot lines. When we come to the final fight, where both sides plan clashes together, the plot first intensifies and brings the heat of the conflict higher and higher. Where we then start to see them reach their individual conclusion, where one conclusion carries on to the next plot which keeps the momentum going for the final moments. Just like the plot, we are also starting to see the end for some character arcs, which follows nicely with the plots. Overall throughout the season we are either seeing the final moments of progression for the characters, or we are seeing the end of their arc and finally getting an ending for them that has been building up for years. It has been very satisfying to see characters reaching the end they have been building towards for years, while still keeping some characters going and having the viewer on the edge of their seats. The season also shows a lot of action throughout, which includes high speed battles, powerful quirks unleashed to their fullest and with it an amazing show of animation. For the animation for all the fights in the season, can simply be described as impressive. They show their quirks in the truest form with animation carrying each detail of the fights, which really draws one attention and keeps you invested in the episodes. Overall is the series coming to an end, with the next season being the last. This means the season is the lead up for the end, and it does so brilliantly, it finishes some story arcs and characters, and gives room for the final. So if you have liked My Hero Academia till this point, can i only recommend watching this season, so you can tag along for the end of the show.

The art style is nice and fitting. This anime has amazing animation and build up up to this point, but the round up of characters is very bad and many flaws, they just didnt react in any realists and normal way, manu will like the story. Its just that the story of this season just became very predictable and stupid, constant a*spulls everywhere, heros making stupid decisions just for the sake of the story progress is so unnecesairy...in what world would a hero defeat a villain and just watch and let him save another villain who will pull a even bigger a*spull......

I was really hyped about this season because of the match-ups where the 6th season left off. I was specifically looking forward on the Dabi vs Shoto, while that match-up did not disappoint, the others did. I was also hyped that on the last season, they tease the No.1 Hero from US, which is star and stripes and I think that her quirk is so broken. I was disappointed on that fight, I mean realistically speaking, she's the best bet the world has but they treat her like a fodder, I blame the mangaka for that. Shigaraki is inconsistent, I won't spoil too much butthere's too much plot holes on him, especially after his fight with star and stripes. I also don't like the fact that some kids with a couple of heroes, last longer than star and stripes, well you could argue about eraser being there but still. The mangaka gave the villains too much plot armor here. While watching midway, I became bored with it, sure the mangaka wanted to make the stakes high by letting the villains have plot armor, but I feel like they overused it, it didn't balanced out to me. The only saving grace for me was when (I won't spoil much) a man using a trampoline shows up, I really like that character ever since he first appeared on the show. Overall, it's still watchable, especially if you're invested on the series but to me it won't be higher than the last season. I don't know, maybe I don't like being push too the edge, which happened here.

To keep this short, the original material from the manga covered in this season is great, but this was a poor presentation. After six seasons of carefully covering the original source material, this season throws it all away rushing through as much as possible in each episode. Fights that are abbreviated, excessive flashbacking, summary scenes that should have had full episodes covering the events, and skipped material are abound. This season was at it's best when it focused on one battlefield for an episode or two. It fell apart when trying to cover everything at once. More accurately, it failedto cover much of anything by skipping around from scene to scene. I'd really only recommend this season to people who have already read the manga and want to see some of the battles animated. Otherwise, you are just missing out on too much.

By now, we kind of know what's going on with My Hero Academia Season 7, but it's insane that they've been able to keep up the high pace of action without really making me feel bored - which I feel was a downfall of a series like Naruto Shippuuden. My Hero Academia just does it better. I'll assume you've seen all the prequels for the purposes of this review. Story & Characters: My Hero Academia Season 7's story basically hasn't changed since the previous season. The new Liberation Front, along with One For All, is making it their goal to create complete destructionupon the world, but have set their sights on Deku, being the holder of All For One. Now, with a world threat present, Stars and Stipe, the number one hero from USA has been called to the battlefield and it's up to her to turn the tide of the war. Star and Stripe is awesome. Very early on, they present her backstory where she forms a bond with multiple army vets, none of which really come close to matching the spectacular strength that she holds. I loved it, making her scenes on the battlefield all that more fun, along with her quirk. After her brief arc completes, the rest of the season basically sees us with multiple groups of enemies fighting against each other - akin to the shinobi war that Naruto Shippuuden had. Most groupings that are create make sense from an emotional standpoint, though does have a tendency to drag the plot a little more than I would have liked. Toga's fight was one example of this, even though I kind of get what they were going for. There aren't really more new characters added to the roster, even though this season has twenty one episodes in it. Most of our favourite characters are still present, putting everything on the line - Phantom Thief might have been my favourite from this season, though Shouto, Kachan, Fumikage and All Might are worth mentioning too. Whoever your favourite hero - or villain - might be, they likely got some screen time here. Some uneven pacing here or there is kind of to be expected, but the most upsetting thing might have been the ending because of the cliffhanger they left us with. (Story: 9/10, Characters: 9/10) Art: Animation still feels very consistent, one thing that Naruto never seemed to be able to keep up. They do all their characters justice and I love how each scene looks and feels. (10/10) Sound: Sound doesn't disappoint either with the OST bringing in a bunch of new tracks that fit what we are seeing on screen. I've never been high on the OPs of EDs that this series seems to offer, but that's very minor. Voice cast continue to be amazing, with Luci Christian (Ochako) and Austin Tindle (Phantom Thief) impressing me the most. Top to bottom, this voice cast is top notch. (10/10) Overall: My Hero Academia Season 7 brings the action to the party with basically every episode featuring some fight or another. Even if you're not a big Shounin fan, this season would appeal to most every audience - it's that good, especially if you've been low on some of the previous seasons. With only one season remaining, I really hope they keep up the momentum, because it's been an awesome ride. (10/10)

Coming off of the greatness we had in season 6, this is partly lackluster but still good. The pacing felt a bit off, partly due to being split between so many different locations and groups of people but when it really zeroed in a a certain moment was when it really shined. And there were lots of really great moments in this season with many different characters, giving them all time to shine and have their moments it really does feel like its drawing close to the culmination, I was almost surprised we're still getting another full season. I am very excited to see howit all ends and can't wait for the next season, until then!

It's been a while since I watched the last season of MHA and I didn't even think about the anime anymore, but I decided to watch the seventh since we're so close to the end, and this is an anime that I've been really into in years past, so I'm going to watch it until the end. That being said, I can't make many comparisons with the previous seasons because they're all a big blur, but here we go: The seventh season of My Hero Academia clearly uses the drama artifice a lot, which really moves and engages you, but I have to admit that Imissed some breathing space between all these dramas. Sometimes I binge-watched some episodes, but I had to stop because of all the overstimulation I felt while watching. But don't get me wrong: I got emotional! I don't like to admit that I shed a few tears watching certain scenes. I'm just a girl. I read in another review (which doesn't recommend the anime), where they say they miss how the anime was in the beginning, a little more of the characters' school life, etc. Well, the anime is nearing its end and in its climax arc, a war arc, it is completely natural that the story darkens and becomes heavier, and these moments of fun and youth are drastically diminished. I don't see this as a problem. That said, another thing mentioned in reviews - which I agree with - is the lack of consequences for some characters. Yes, we are at war! Japan is basically destroyed and governments all over the world know about the situation. It is something VERY serious! But even so, the heroes try to stop the villains still with the intention of saving them. What kind of wars are these? I see that the anime no longer feels so sorry for the characters and attacks them brutally, people lose limbs, quirks, some even die (who knows?) but the feeling is that in the end, everything will be fine for everyone, including the villains. Let's see how this ends in the next season. But after all, I didn't think it was bad! It engaged me and made me want to watch it! I mentioned a few things that bothered me but overall it is a great season. Looking forward to the last one.

The pacing of this show has gone completely haywire. This entire season feels like it should have been spread out over multiple arcs rather than crammed together in this one chaotic battle where so much is happening at once with so many different characters and so many different plot points that are all attempting to be resolved simultaneously that it ends up feeling like a chaotic mess of a series that barely resembles the My Hero Academia that was so exemplary in its storytelling in the early seasons. It's as though the author simply got tired of writing it, and so he decided to just rush tothe finish line skipping across entire books straight to the final battle. The result is that none of the personal struggles that each character is coming to grips with gets the space to adequately breathe and tell its story. When everyone is having their personal epiphany all at the same time, it ruins the impact of each individual one. To add on to that, the power scaling in this series has gone completely crazy to the point where none of the fights feel like genuine battles. Rather they all feel like scripted events of deus ex machina after deus ex machina. Villain Plot A is countered by arrival of Hero B from 2 seasons ago, and Villain plot C is interrupted by the sudden awakening of power from Class member D but wait, the villain accounted for that with plot twist E. If you thought the first half of Season 6 was bad in this regard (and I did) then Season 7 is just a LOT more of that. All of that said. The series is still very enjoyable to watch from an animation and music perspective. Despite how choppy the story has become, the art and music of My Hero Academia still manages to convey a lot of heart and emotion even despite the plot's best efforts to ruin all of it. This season is watchable and even somewhat enjoyable in spite of how much it seems to be trying to get itself over with as fast as it possibly can. 6/10

Season 7 of MHA exceeds Season 6 in action and story. The animation is heavenly and absolutely gorgeous, as usual from Bones. Fight scenes are given the best care and the big moments in the story are nice to watch. Soundtrack, as usual, is banger after banger AFTER banger. If you liked the previous season, then you will like this season even more. Some scenes didn't hit as much though as others, but in the end its a well baked product and tastes amazing. Something I also liked aside from the great action, just for shits and giggles, is the chunky tears. My favorite MHA staplethat never ceases to amuse me.

This is definitely a step down fom season 6. While season 7 presents us with some very good moments, what happens in-between in regards to structure and plot is very problematic. This season made more than clear all the issues My Hero Academia suffers from because they are all present and visible in this one arc: the pacing is absoulutely abysmal for a modern show, flashbacks after flashbacks after flashbacks taking major amounts of time and meat from each episode. And most of these are for incredibly dull and uninteresting characters. Which brings me to another issue, the amount of characters this show has isinsane, now of course I am aware that this is the 7th season of a show and that it is the last arc where everyone comes together. But thee way they do it SUCKS! Most of the time a character comes back, its to serve as a Deus Ex Machina to save everyone from the cliffhanger from the episode before, and then they become irrelevant again. In this season alone I can think of 5-6 times off the top of my head that that happened and its not fun nor compelling, its bad writing. Both of these problems become extremely worse due to my third major problem with this season, which is bad structuring and lack of focus: everytime something important happnes we just cut to another place where the war is happening for a few episodes to tackle something else and we lose the sense of urgency and investment of the other storyline. There's even a time where we stop the biggest conflict of the show just to have 2 episodes about racism for some reason. It feels like poor planning in the mangaka's part. And fourth, there are some serious lack of consequences for the characters involved, this is a WAR, heroes we like should be dying or losing their powers to all for one. Whenever that happens it's GREAT and engaging, but the times something incredibly consequential happens it's usually just solved with a Deus Ex Machina and the times it's not solved are few and far between. THis was also a problem last season but it is especially relevant now.

As a long-time fan of My Hero Academia, I have to say that Season 7 exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Nearly every episode brought me to tears (┬┬﹏┬┬), not just because of the intense moments, but also due to the sheer emotional depth it delivered. The story, while familiar to fans of the genre, is still compelling and full of surprises. Even when certain plot points felt predictable, I found myself completely immersed because of how well-executed the narrative is. If you're someone who enjoys the superhero genre, this season will not disappoint. The art style is as beautiful as ever—vibrant and dynamic, perfectly complementingthe fast-paced action scenes. The fight sequences are visually stunning, with fluid animation that enhances every punch and power-up. Beyond the action, the art brings out the emotional weight of the characters' struggles. Speaking of characters, this season did an amazing job fleshing out both heroes and villains. It wasn't just about the main character, Izuku Midoriya. Every villain had a strong backstory, making them feel complex and relatable, rather than just being "the bad guys." The heroes, too, had their flaws and strengths highlighted in a realistic way. You could feel the tension, the uncertainty, and the growth of each character as they faced challenges. Their reactions to the situations felt natural, making it easy to empathize with their journeys. Whether you're a fan of the series or new to it, I believe others will enjoy this season just as much as I did. The balance between emotional storytelling, action, and character development makes it a must-watch, especially for those who have followed My Hero Academia from the beginning. It’s a journey of growth for both the characters and the audience, and Season 7 captures that beautifully.

Well done, but not as EXCELLENT as the manga. I cant explain it. There's just something special in the manga art style and paneling that just isnt coming across for me in the anime. When these chapters were coming out, I was racing to read every new chapter, but I had no problem letting the episodes stack up and bingeing them. I also watched this with someone who hasnt seen all of the other seasons so I had to explain a lot. There were tons of great fights in this season, even more amazing back story. And I like where they ended it with thecliffhanger of the final fight starting to turn around. I cant wait until next season

Great season after a long time. All might is reason enough for me to continue watching this show untill the end. He is one beautiful 2d character whome I admire. From his personality to his strength and to those American smash names. Bro is finally here again with the widest smile possible. Good build up for the final season. It is crazy how it went from being cliche to an absolutely original and unique turn of events. With great and more fluid animations, everything packed a punch. I will admit, it did get a bit bland with the 5th and 6th seasons. But the original MHAis back baby, and it being something I have been watching for 5 years now, I really hope that they end this well. From many memes to emotional moments, this show is definitely close to my heart. This season was full of emotional past moments and great fights and they are definitely cooking, it deserves to be recommended.

i absolutely loved this season. truthfully, i enjoyed every season and every movie of MHA so far but this is the BEST season yet. The fight scenes were SO SO EPIC, bones animated the fight scenes so well that it left my jaw hanging. As this is the final war, it was pretty much expected that there would be some emotional scenes as the characters would be reaching their maximum potential and character growth. the last few episodes were absolutely phenomenal. With peak fight scenes, animation, AND THE SOUNDTRACK, you just can't deny the emotional rollercoaster at the end. i keep watching ep 20 over andover again because the episode is a pure masterpiece. Also, please do listen to the season 7 soundtrack. it's amazing : )

I generally never write a review here, but after completing this latest season of My Hero Academia as of Oct 24, I found that the discussion around it is far too negative. So let me set the record straight - This is, without doubt the best season of My Hero Academia so far. Great OST, amazing fights, great overdue character development and a fantastic story to boot. Fans of the show will be ecstatic to hear the show went from S6 highs to Plus Ultra. We get some iconic scenes from the manga that were eagerly awaited. In typical MHA fashion though, this is not a straightforwardshonen. The heroes are morally grey, so are the villains, and just about everyone is navigating a post apocalyptic world to the best of their abilities. The show does a great job of representing what that post All Might future would feel like. The story feels more brutal and stakes feel ever higher. If you've gotten out of touch over the past few seasons and just want to know if it's worth catching up on? Absolutely yes.

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 totell 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.

When you watch an anime, you want a story that fully captures the emotions of its characters, and this anime excels in that regard. It poignantly conveys the characters' struggles and sadness, illustrating how each one copes in their own unique way. You can genuinely feel their joy; I found myself shouting, crying, and laughing alongside them. The fight scenes in this anime are exceptional, showcasing a diverse array of characters and their abilities. The intricate connections and conflicts among them are rare in the anime world, making it a standout experience. Each character has a distinct personality, and those who have followed the series from thebeginning can truly appreciate their development—both villains and heroes evolve in remarkable ways. The music and soundtrack are perfectly timed, enhancing the emotional impact and keeping viewers engaged in every moment. I can’t wait to see how they’ll wrap everything up in the final part! The anticipation is thrilling, especially after all the character development and emotional moments we’ve witnessed. It’s bound to be an unforgettable conclusion!

This is one of the best seasons of anime I have ever seen in my life. Look, I can kind of understand what MHA haters are getting at sometimes, but I think this season certainly should shut them up, or at least discredit them. There is essentially no filler in this season. No class sessions, no side quests, nor any recap episodes are to be seen here; it's just pure shonen anime. Every episode is insanely intense, making me crave for more every single week. I love how perfectly this season ends, setting up the final season absolutely stunningly. Rarely do we get to seesuch a powerful anime where every episode feels essential and everything we've gone through as a viewer comes full circle here. Characters we fell in love with for just a short arc will make a return in this season, as everyone in the entire series gets to shine in this season. Without question, this is fantastic anime. This is a must watch in general, but MHA fans have no excuse to skip one of the best seasons of anime ever created. One of the best showings of 2024 for sure.

What a great season! I’ve just finished the whole season and I can say that it was a wild roller coaster. It started kinda slow with a lot of flashback from moments before, which was annoying. But then the pacing got a lot better and we could see memorable moments with all class-A students. It had awesome battles, a lot of forgotten characters coming back and amazing closures for some of them. The last episodes were really emotional and moving, and if you were not touched by any episode, you are dead inside. Also, if you watched until here and are hating everything, I mean, just stop??? Iknow the animation had some bad moments, but come on. I can’t wait for the next and last season. I’m pretty sure we all grew up a little bit with our dear class A students. PLUS ULTRA!

(slight spoilers of who fights in one fight) By far my favorite season out of the franchise. I honestly didn't think I would be making a review for this season, but it proved to me enough that it deserved to be at least talked about. I will say this time and time again about Horikoshi’s work; his character writing is his strong suit. And this is wholeheartedly one of the, if not, the reason I decided to even discuss my thoughts on this season. So, we’re in the final arc of the series. The final part of any story is bound to have their characters showing upand that's exactly what Hori did. This arc shows each and every one of his large cast showing out. That is what I love about this finale, Horikoshi is finally shining light on his other characters rather than the fan favorites, which is no doubtably what he should've done way before; but I digress. I love how he had brought in his characters into fights not just for the sake of having that character doing something in the midst of the war, but it was planned out to show the character’s true strength. Specifically, during a particular fight, I liked how Hori tied in “real world” dynamics into his story. In the middle of the fight we can see how society treats animorphs and that is used to help build the characters of his work which are also affected by this. Moving on, towards the end of the season, the final fight actually shown, Ochako vs Toga, was my absolute favorite part to watch. We can finally see the climax of these two’s intertwined story since season 3, and I loved how he tied it all together. Both of these characters had their reasons behind the fight and despite knowing each other beforehand, didn't hold back. Hori uses emotions and past experiences to help us understand both of these characters. In the end, we end up actually feeling bad for the villian, and this isn't the only case. Wrapping this up, Hori uses this technique to help give his other characters their well deserved spot light and not just that but to improve on his already worked on characters. At the end of each battle, we can really see how much these characters have grown, this can be said for all of his cast, both villains and heroes, despite it only being a year since the story began. A story made to focus on heroes is also very focused on the villains too. His villains are not just thrown in to just be somebody the heroes face, but are written to show why they chose to be a villain, and we as spectators, understand why they do what they do. These villains are here to show the two sides of society. If this isn't Horikoshi showing his skill in character writing, then I don't know what is. Nonetheless, this was a great season also productive wise and I can’t wait for how well they handle the actual final part of the story.

The end is drawing near and the final battles are on the horizon, the culmination of all the villain's plans and the heroes acts of protection is coming to ahead, in the final days of the conflict. In this season of My Hero Academia, are we starting to finish off plot lines as the show as a whole is coming to an end. We see the final build up occur as we pass the point of no return for the story. For the plot of the season it is first showing the few events and preparations that happen just before the final showdown between villains and heroes.This sets the stage for the final part and helps setting all the characters in place, for seeing the end for their plot lines. When we come to the final fight, where both sides plan clashes together, the plot first intensifies and brings the heat of the conflict higher and higher. Where we then start to see them reach their individual conclusion, where one conclusion carries on to the next plot which keeps the momentum going for the final moments. Just like the plot, we are also starting to see the end for some character arcs, which follows nicely with the plots. Overall throughout the season we are either seeing the final moments of progression for the characters, or we are seeing the end of their arc and finally getting an ending for them that has been building up for years. It has been very satisfying to see characters reaching the end they have been building towards for years, while still keeping some characters going and having the viewer on the edge of their seats. The season also shows a lot of action throughout, which includes high speed battles, powerful quirks unleashed to their fullest and with it an amazing show of animation. For the animation for all the fights in the season, can simply be described as impressive. They show their quirks in the truest form with animation carrying each detail of the fights, which really draws one attention and keeps you invested in the episodes. Overall is the series coming to an end, with the next season being the last. This means the season is the lead up for the end, and it does so brilliantly, it finishes some story arcs and characters, and gives room for the final. So if you have liked My Hero Academia till this point, can i only recommend watching this season, so you can tag along for the end of the show.
