My Hero Academia Final Season – A Full-Circle Ending
Before I start, a quick disclaimer: I’ll try to keep this review focused on Season 8, but that’s honestly difficult. This season feels like the payoff to everything My Hero Academia has been building toward since Season 1, so take this as a review of the final season and the series as a whole.
Starting with the story, it’s kind of wild when you think about it. In Season 1, Deku gains a quirk. Eight seasons and almost a decade later, he loses it again. The entire journey revolves around that full circle, and it’s handled in a
...
surprisingly meaningful way. At its core, My Hero Academia has always pushed the message that you’re not alone, and the final season delivers that message louder than ever.
One of the most important ideas in the final season is Deku’s decision to try to save Shigaraki rather than simply kill him. Instead of choosing the easy or expected path, Deku stays true to what it means to be a hero in his eyes—someone who reaches out even when it seems impossible. That choice adds a lot of emotional depth to the final conflict and separates this ending from a typical “hero defeats villain” conclusion.
The action and choreography in this season are excellent. All Might vs All For One in the mech suit was incredible, both visually and emotionally. Seeing All Might nearly die hit hard. Bakugo coming back to life was another shocking moment, and his return to the battlefield felt earned. The scene where Deku and Bakugo lock eyes, followed by Deku directing Bakugo toward All Might and All For One, was beautifully animated. The art style, direction, and animation throughout the season were consistently strong, especially when it mattered most.
The final battle itself wasn’t the colorful spectacle many expected. Instead, it leaned heavily into emotional weight. Deku losing his arms and pushing forward anyway raised the stakes even higher. The moment where everyone unites behind Deku, cheering him on and shouting “ganbare,” was incredibly powerful. One of the most emotional scenes comes right after the battle, when Uraraka breaks down crying in front of Deku. It wasn’t flashy or dramatic—it was raw, human, and showed the cost of everything they went through.
Character-wise, the final season does a great job wrapping things up. Deku’s development from a quirkless kid to the greatest hero, and then becoming quirkless again, is a painful but meaningful full-circle moment. Bakugo’s character growth is one of the strongest in the series, evolving from a loud, angry rival into someone who truly understands sacrifice and teamwork.
The villains remain a major strength. Shigaraki’s story stays dark and tragic, making him a compelling antagonist, and Deku’s attempt to understand and help him gives that tragedy real weight. All For One is the kind of villain you’re meant to hate, and he fills that role perfectly. Dabi’s reveal and backstory were intense and emotional, adding depth to the Todoroki family storyline. Himiko Toga’s arc and eventual redemption fit well with the series’ core themes.
The epilogue is handled in a quiet but satisfying way. Seeing Deku become a teacher felt right, and watching everyone achieve their dreams, or at least continue chasing them, was rewarding. Deku receiving the suit that allows him to fight again was a great final touch. Bakugo holding out his hand and the two of them heading off together was a simple but powerful way to end the journey.
From an animation standpoint, there’s really nothing to complain about. When the series needed to go all out, it did. The visuals were stunning at key moments without feeling excessive.
My Hero Academia may not be perfect, but as a complete story, it delivers on its themes, characters, and emotional payoff.
Overall rating for My Hero Academia as a whole: 8.5/10.
A must-watch, and one of the best new-gen anime experiences in my opinion.

Assassination Classroom Season 2 – A Perfect, Emotional Conclusion
I randomly clicked on this anime on Netflix and ended up experiencing one of the most emotional stories I’ve ever watched. Season 2 of Assassination Classroom picks up right where Season 1 left off, with Class 3-E continuing their mission to kill Koro-sensei. What follows is a journey that’s equal parts funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking.
Koro-sensei himself is an incredible character. His goofy, over-the-top personality, combined with his pervy yet oddly wholesome humor, makes him instantly likable. But underneath the comedy lies depth and compassion. He isn’t just teaching his students how to kill—he’s teaching them how to
...
grow, believe in themselves, and face life’s challenges.
The development of Class 3-E is one of the season’s strongest points. We see them evolve from being labeled the “worst class” into becoming skilled assassins and, more importantly, confident young adults. Their battle against Class A, where they finally come out on top, symbolizes that transformation perfectly.
The action in Season 2 is also top-notch. From the students taking down trained military professionals to the fight with the Grim Reaper and the twisted scientist (Shiro), every major battle is both exciting and meaningful. Kayano’s big reveal—that she was the sister of the former E-class teacher—was another standout. Her near-death scene and Nagisa saving her were emotional and added even more depth to the story.
Nagisa’s character really shines here. His natural assassin’s instincts, combined with the way he deals with his overcontrolling mother, make him one of the best-written characters in the show. Karma also stands out—cool, sharp, and extremely likable, he balances Nagisa perfectly. On a lighter note, the romance subplot between Irina and Karasuma was surprisingly sweet and gave the story a softer touch amidst all the chaos.
But nothing compares to the ending. The students finally succeed in cornering Koro-sensei. The scene where they pin him down, with even Karma and Karasuma crying, was absolutely heartbreaking. Nagisa, unable to kill his beloved teacher, has to be calmed down by Koro-sensei himself. That final stab, followed by Koro-sensei fading away as the entire class breaks into tears, is one of the most emotional moments I’ve ever seen in anime.
The aftermath is handled beautifully. We see the students achieving their dreams, growing into the people Koro-sensei believed they could become. Nagisa, in particular, carries on Koro-sensei’s legacy by becoming a teacher himself—one who jokingly tells his students to “try to kill him before graduation.” Koro-sensei’s backstory, especially the moment where he experiences love for the first time, ties it all together and makes his final farewell even more powerful.
Assassination Classroom Season 2 is a masterclass in mixing comedy, action, and heart-wrenching emotion. From start to finish, it was a ride that broke me but also left me inspired.
Rating: 10/10. A perfect ending to a unique and unforgettable story.

Black Clover – More Than Just Another “Naruto”
I went into Black Clover expecting it to be another Naruto clone, but it really isn’t. Sure, Asta has that loud, never-give-up energy like Naruto, but beyond that, the show stands on its own and builds something different.
The world of Black Clover is full of magic, lore, and mystery. The concept of grimoires and different types of magic makes the fights creative and intense. Asta’s five-leaf clover grimoire, surrounded by mystery and darkness, adds a cool twist early on. The Eye of the Midnight Sun arc is a major highlight, with strong buildup, surprising twists, and the shocking
...
reveal of the devil working behind the scenes. Later arcs like the Spade Kingdom keep up the pace and scale things even bigger.
The fights are one of the best parts of the series. They're fast, flashy, and often carry real emotional weight. Asta’s anti-magic fighting style is fun to watch, especially when paired with his grit and energy. Yuno, on the other hand, brings a calm and skilled contrast with his wind magic. He’s a strong rival who pushes Asta to grow, and his own development is solid. Yami is another standout. His dark magic and calm, “go with the flow” attitude make him one of the coolest characters. His battles, especially against top-tier enemies like Dante, are some of the most intense in the show.
The characters overall are a big strength. Asta can be loud, but he’s surprisingly inspiring and consistent. His never-give-up mindset actually changes people around him, like some of the royal captains who start to see value in effort over status. Noelle’s character arc is especially well done. She grows from arrogant and unsure to powerful and confident, and her magic development reflects her personal journey. Yami adds a great mix of strength and comedy, while still being a reliable leader. Um, and his catchphrase, "surpass your limits," really captures the heart of the show.
Black Clover may not have the flashiest start, but once it picks up, it becomes a fun, emotional, and action-packed story with strong arcs and memorable characters.
Rating: 8/10
Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a magic-based shonen with heart, growth, and great fights.

**Wind Breaker – Fights That Hit Hard, Emotionally and Physically**
*Wind Breaker* isn’t just a great fight anime—it’s one of those rare shows where every punch carries emotional weight. The battles aren’t just there for hype or style; they reveal character, deepen friendships, and push the story forward in meaningful ways.
---
**🔥 The Fights**
The action in *Wind Breaker* is top-tier. Two standout battles for me were:
...
* **Sakura vs. Togame** – This wasn’t just a fight; it was peak emotional storytelling. The clash of beliefs and personal growth made it unforgettable.
* **Umemiya vs. Choji** – Absolutely fire. The buildup, the tension, and the meaning behind every move made this battle hit even harder.
Each fight in the show feels purposeful—no meaningless brawls, just well-crafted moments that drive the story and characters forward.
---
**🧍♂️ Characters & Development**
* **Sakura**: He’s a cool main character. At first, he fights just to be the top dog, but as the story progresses, his motivation changes—to fight for his friends. That shift makes him much more relatable and admirable. Plus, his tendency to get embarrassed in emotional moments is a fun touch that humanizes him.
* **Umemiya**: Easily one of my favorite characters. He’s funny, dependable, and brings real heart to the series.
* **Togame & Choji**: Their friendship is deep and well-explained, and Choji’s rise as leader of Lion’s Head adds layers to the story. The flashbacks about Lion’s Head and how they changed were done very nicely.
---
**❄️ Final Thoughts**
*Wind Breaker* is an ice-cold anime—in the best way possible. If you love powerful fight scenes with real meaning behind them, strong character growth, and emotional storytelling, this is a must-watch.
**Highly recommended** for anyone who enjoys a fight anime that’s more than just fists and flash.

Attack on Titan – Brutal, Mysterious, and Off to a Strong Start
I went into *Attack on Titan* with a lot of criticism and high expectations—and honestly, it managed to meet both. It’s gruesome, to say the least. The violence and intensity are unrelenting, but it fits the tone of the story well.
The whole “humans turning into Titans” concept is genuinely interesting. I liked how Season 1 gave answers to some of the mysteries while still leaving a lot unresolved for the next season. It keeps you hooked, wanting more.
Eren as a character is... okay. I’ve heard he gets much better later on, so I’m curious
...
to see where he goes. Mikasa, though, is really cool—calm, powerful, and loyal. Armin cries too much in this season, but you can tell he’s got something deeper going on, and I ended up liking him more than I expected.
Levi hasn’t had much screen time yet, but he already gives off serious "cool and dangerous" energy. Looking forward to seeing more of him.
The human vs. Titan dynamic is tense and works well, especially when they’re using the ODM gear to zip around. That said, the actual Titan fight choreography didn’t impress me too much—those battles could’ve been more polished.
Overall, Attack on Titan Season 1 is a strong and gritty start to a dark story full of mystery, fear, and survival. I’m definitely interested to keep going.

My Hero Academia: You're Next – A Decent Movie, But Could've Hit Harder
It’s been a while since I watched Season 7 of *My Hero Academia*, and I’ve been missing Deku and his friends. After the intensity of Seasons 6 and 7, my expectations for the movie were definitely high—especially with a trailer that looked this good.
The movie itself was alright. The concept had potential, and I appreciated the darker tone they were aiming for. Dark Might as a villain was a solid idea, but the whole “evil successor” angle felt a little underwhelming. It could’ve been explored more deeply, with higher emotional stakes.
...
Giulio, the red-haired guy, was one of the standout characters. He was likeable and added some real personality to the story—I hope he makes a return in Season 8 (though I haven’t read the manga, so who knows).
Anas’ part was also pretty cool. Her powers and how they were used gave the story some energy, but at the same time, it felt like a power we’ve seen before. That kind of card has been played quite a lot in the anime world, so it didn’t feel as fresh as it could have.
Overall, *You’re Next* had its moments and was definitely worth watching as a fan of the series. It just didn’t fully live up to the bar the show has set recently. I’d give it a solid **7/10**—good, but not amazing.

The God of High School – Webtoon Review
From First Anime to Final Chapter: A Full-Circle Experience
Years ago, The God of High School was the very first anime I ever watched. It introduced me to the world of anime with its high-octane fights, insane powers, and iconic soundtrack. That anime left an impression—even though I barely remembered the details years later, the name always stuck with me.
At the start of this year, I remembered it again and decided to finally dive into the full story—the original God of High School webtoon. And what a ride it’s been.
Story and Pacing
The webtoon kicks off with an
...
insanely strong start. The tournament arc is fast, intense, and full of hype moments. The early stages are grounded (well, somewhat), but then it escalates in scope—gods, dimensions, clones, timelines—it becomes an all-out mythological, sci-fi warzone.
I’ll be honest: while the ambition is huge and some story arcs were amazing, the plot did feel stretched out in places. Some arcs dragged longer than they needed, and with so many characters and power systems, it was sometimes hard to keep track. It also took way too long for Mira to regain her memories, which slowed the pacing of her character arc quite a bit.
But even with all that, I kept reading. Because underneath all the chaos, there was heart.
Characters and Growth
This is where the series shines.
- Jin Mori – From fun-loving martial artist to literal god. Even as his power grew insanely high, his core personality and friendships stayed strong. He was never a bland main character, always fun to follow.
- Han Daewi – Probably the most grounded of the trio. His loyalty, quiet strength, and character arc made him a favorite.
- Yoo Mira – She had some of the best development in the story. Her journey from being underestimated to becoming a god-slaying warrior was powerful. But again, her memory loss arc dragged on way longer than it needed to, which felt like a missed opportunity to give her more time in the spotlight.
And then there’s Mubong.
One of the best final villains I’ve seen in a webtoon. He wasn’t evil just for the sake of it—his motivations were built up, complex, and rooted in trauma and fear. You hate him, but you understand him. And in the end, you almost feel for him.
Also, the Mori Dan part of the story felt strange at first. It was a bit jarring tonally and took time to get used to. But in the end, it worked really well and added a lot of emotional depth. It gave the story breathing room and made Mori’s return feel earned.
Fights and Art
If there’s one thing The God of High School does better than almost any other webtoon—it’s the fights.
The choreography. The power scaling. The sheer creativity of the battles. From pure martial arts to summoning gods and rewriting reality, the action just keeps evolving. Even when the story got confusing, the fights kept me hooked.
The art style kept getting better, too. You can literally see the artist's growth over time. Near the end, the paneling, coloring, and scale of some scenes felt like a movie.
Ending and Emotions
I won’t spoil anything—but the ending hit hard. After everything, the final chapters made me feel empty and fulfilled at the same time. It wasn’t a perfect ending, but it fit. The journey, the sacrifices, the memories—it all came together.
And honestly? It made me a little sad. Not just because the story ended, but because I realized this was the end of a journey that started years ago, when I watched the anime for the first time. It felt like saying goodbye to an old friend.
Final Thoughts
The God of High School is far from perfect. The plot stretches too thin in places. Some characters disappear for a while. There are moments where the power scaling gets ridiculous, and a few storylines—like Mira’s memory loss—go on for too long.
But despite all that—I loved it.
It’s bold, emotional, action-packed, and full of heart. And reading it felt like closing a loop I didn’t know was still open.
Rating: 8.5/10 – For the memories, the madness, and the Mori.

Tokyo Ghoul:re Review
Tokyo Ghoul:re starts off right where Tokyo Ghoul left off, throwing us straight into the aftermath of the intense climax. From the very beginning, the story is packed with twists, like Haise Sasaki actually being Kaneki, which completely changes how we see things. The first few volumes do a great job of setting the tone, introducing both new and old characters, and making sure every character plays a vital role in the bigger picture.
One of the biggest surprises was finding out Amon was still alive—such a hype moment. And when Kaneki finally regains his memories? That scene was just insane. The buildup to
...
that moment and the way it was executed made it one of the most unforgettable parts of the series.
The final volumes go all out. First, we get the massive battle, then Kaneki and Touka’s relationship finally moving forward (they get married!), and then Kaneki becoming the Dragon, which was just mind-blowing. Seeing the CCG and ghouls put aside their differences to save Kaneki felt like his dream of coexistence was actually coming true.
As for the villain, Furuta? He was a fantastic antagonist. His chaotic nature made him unpredictable, and he added a unique dynamic to the story. The ending was also incredible—humans and ghouls finally living together in peace. The only mystery? What exactly do ghouls eat now? Guess we’ll never know.
Overall, Tokyo Ghoul:re is a must-read. The story, the characters, and the emotional weight of it all make for an unforgettable experience. It’s got action, tragedy, and some truly powerful moments that make it one of the best manga I’ve ever read.

Tokyo Ghoul is a fascinating journey that takes its protagonist, Kaneki, from a timid and weak individual to someone truly formidable. His character development is one of the strongest aspects of the story, especially in the manga, where it’s handled with depth and nuance. Unlike the anime adaptation, which fails to do justice to the source material, the manga delivers a proper transformation that feels earned rather than rushed.
The side characters are another highlight. Each of them adds depth to the world, making the story more engaging beyond just Kaneki’s journey. The relationship between Touka and Kaneki is also a well-crafted aspect of the narrative,
...
adding emotional weight to the story without feeling forced.
As for the ending, it’s undeniably chaotic, but that’s part of what makes it so impactful. It doesn’t follow a conventional, neatly wrapped-up conclusion—it embraces the chaos that has defined much of the series.
Overall, Tokyo Ghoul (especially the manga) is a gripping story of growth, struggle, and transformation. Just don’t go into it expecting the same experience as the anime—the manga is on a whole other level.

After finishing Naruto, I decided to give Boruto a shot. I’d heard a lot of people call it terrible, but I figured, for the sake of Naruto, I’d give it a chance. Big mistake. I regret that decision for the rest of my life.
Let’s get one thing straight: Boruto is not like Naruto. While Naruto had a lot of filler, at least some of it was fun or added something to the characters. Boruto’s anime, on the other hand, is just... bad. The fact that nearly 0% of it is considered filler makes it even worse because you’re stuck watching canon episodes that feel pointless
...
or poorly written. It drags the legacy of Naruto through the mud, and that hurts as someone who grew up loving the original series.
Here’s the thing—the manga is actually pretty good. It’s not perfect, but it’s way more focused and enjoyable than the anime. The anime just doesn’t do the story justice. It feels like they’re stretching everything out, adding unnecessary content, and losing the essence of what made Naruto great. If you really want to experience Boruto, do yourself a favor and stick to the manga.
If you absolutely have to watch the anime, at least skip everything that isn’t manga canon. Trust me, you’ll save yourself so much frustration. Boruto is not worth the time or effort unless you’re super curious, and even then, you’re better off reading the manga instead. Naruto deserves better, and so do you.
Final verdict: Skip the anime, read the manga.
