My Hero Academia: Season One [Blu-ray]

I enjoy anime from time to time. Oddly, Studio Bones is usually the common denominator of anime I like. Wolf’s Rain and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood I count among the top anime I have watched (I enjoyed the original FMA but prefer FMAB’s ending) along with Akira and Ghost In The Shell.For context, I’ve barely read manga (some Battle Angel Alita as an exception) and while I can love anime, I am a little more on the casual side due to how frequently I consume anime. I had vacation over the holidays and had heard that My Hero Academia was good, so I specifically signed up on Hulu to watch it.Sweet Baby Jesus was the show good. I am a grown man and it brought me to tears. I love Izuku/Deku and the cast. I did not even know prior to starting it that it was Studio Bones, but it felt like the same quality as FMAB, which is highly thought of as one of the best anime, especially for non-hardcore anime fans.I marathonned the first season and started taking the rest slower to space it out. I’m about to finish season 2. Even though I am watching it on subscription, I had to own the Blu-ray’s. I, for the first time in ages, had to own merch for this. I bought a figurine of Izuku and have a shirt on the way, since then, I’ve got my eye on a lot of other items,Why bring all this extra crap up? Simply put, I love this show so much that it drove me to buy more. That’s amazing, as I don’t do this. I’ve even ordered the first volume of the manga.I’ve found out what “Shounen” anime is now (I was ignorant to this prior to MHA even though DBZ and FMA are considered this). I’ve seen this show is massively popular yet certain crowds think it’s overrated. Subjective tastes come into play here. There are no truly original stories for any genre in my opinion. It’s all in how excellently it is packaged.MHA has fantastic music, good characters, a decent sometimes great plot, but what is most important is that it packs an emotional punch. This show has heart.If the review was a ramble, sorry. I love this show.To those reading this review who may think I’m missing out on other anime, this show has driven me to want to check out shows like Tiger & Bunny and/or Hunter x Hunter in the wait for season 4 once I get through the existing episodes.People talk like this is the next Naruto. I certainly hope so, as I want as much time with these characters as I can get. If you like this show, buy the seasons, the movie, and the merch. The more money it makes the more we’ll get.Edit - January 21, 2019I got the time to watch some of the special features. The anime expo, meet the characters, Nishino’s interview all three are good. The AnimeFest artist sketches are cool, but not necessarily a must watch. However, the Inside The Episode extras where staff/VO cast for the dub speak about the episodes, their characters, and themselves really shine. Each video brought me smiles and laughter. You can tell that all these people are passionate about this. I really love the Inside The Episodes featurettes.

My Hero Academia is a love letter to the western comic. Everything about it oozes with that silver age aesthetic. It's good to keep this in mind since it will paint your expectations for the rest of the showThe anime is a faithful (panel for panel) presentation of the Weekly Shounen Jump manga created by Kohei Horikoshi, which is still on-going as of writing this. This 13 episode season covers the first full major story arc in the manga, at a pace of 1 or 2 chapters per episode. I'll leave the detailed synopsis to others who find themselves more qualified to offer it. Simply put, this is the story of a boy named Izuku Midoriya who wants to be a hero more than anything. However, in a world filled with people with special powers, he winds up one of the very few born without any. What he lacks in super powers, he makes up for in the intangibles that drive a hero, and through both coincidence and his own determination he's offered the opportunity of a lifetime.Studio BONES spearheaded this effort, and their reputation precedes them. The realization of this show with sound, color, and motion is faithful and impressive. If the manga is regarded as a nascent masterpiece of shounen in the making, then be not surprised that the anime improves upon it still. The music is a particular shining point in an otherwise stellar presentation, featuring excellent themes and leitmotifs. What's more, the Blu Ray had a second quality pass by the studio and looks even better than the TV broadcast.The dub is a thoroughly solid showing. The casting is, across the board, spot-on. Chris Sabat as All Might stands out as an obvious high point, and he delivers in full. Not to discredit the efforts of the rest of the voice talent, Justin Briner plays a fantastic Midoriya as well.This anime is a perfect companion to the manga, and I have every faith that Bones will continue to deliver a quality product. It suffers for pacing at points, but only if we're nitpicking, and we very well shouldn't. All Might wouldn't stand for it.Do yourself a favor and check this out. Horikoshi is an extremely talented author and the manga moves at a blistering pace - thwarting along the way most of the tropes and trappings of the genre by embracing them whole-heartedly.

A friend of mine kept telling me what a great anime this is, and I can see why! A complex underdog with a herioc mentor, as well as a short-fused rival, and a bone-chilling villain are among only a few of the amazing characters in this awesome series. Recommended to anyone who loves anime in general!

La serie se ve increíble,sin duda para los fans a los que les encanta la buena calidad y la serie,no puede faltar en tu colección,sin embargó el único inconveniente que tuve fue que por mi hermano,no pude poner la película subtitulada al español,solo viene en japonés e inglés,aún así yo la estoy disfrutando de maravilla

DVDとのコンボパック商品ですが、ブルーレイのみのレビューです。タイトル『僕のヒーローアカデミア（1期）』ディスク2枚＋1枚（Extra）/13話/1080p一般的な国内プレイヤーで再生出来ます（再生環境/SONYの2015年～の最廉価プレイヤー『BDP-S1500』）。タイトルで日本語音声と字幕《OFF》を選択すれば、後は普通に鑑賞する事が出来ます。映像特典は、ディスク2にアニメフェス2016インタビュー×2・アニメフェス2016アーティストスケッチ・インサイドエピソード×13（英語）・ノンテロップOP・ノンテロップEDVer1&Ver2・ヒーローアカデミアトレイラー・他作品トレイラー。ディスク3（EXTRS）には、アニメEXPO2016のインタビューなどが3つ入っています。映像特典の字幕は、リモコンで字幕《切》を選択すれば普通に鑑賞出来ます。なお、英語版インタビューは、日本語吹き替えなどはありませんのであしからず。原作未読ですが、少年漫画の王道的展開が熱いです。OVAの『救え！救助訓練！』が入っていないのは痛いですが、本編見れればオッケー的な方でしたら大満足な一品でしょう（後々のシーズンにオマケで入るかな？）。4000円～5000円でこのクオリティのアニメをワンクール分見れるならば文句無しです。現状シーズン4ぐらいまで出ているみたいなので、ゆっくりと価格変動を見ながらお得に買い揃えて行こうと思います♪

Es una excelente serie, altamente recomendable, tienen que verla ya que cuenta con todos los elementos necesarios para poder atraparte, no por nada se mantiene dentro de los primeros lugares del Anime.

I'm a big manga/anime fan, and this series has become a personal favourite. My Hero Academia puts a new slant on the comic book genre, where having a "quirk" is accepted as the norm in society, and children flock to get into the U. A. High School, where they train to become working heroes. The characters are typical teens, seeking the acceptance of their adult peers while trying to develop their own quirks and maintain their integrity. If you're into superheroes, you should enjoy MHA. Can't wait for season three!
