My Hero Academia Season 2 Review

The second season of My Hero Academia has its moments, but overall it is nowhere near as good as the first one. The show lost a lot of the steam here.

The only storyline in this season that I genuinely cared about was the tournament. I am a sucker for anime tournaments. This was no Dragon Ball of course, but it was still widely entertaining and very enjoyable. Some of the fights were truly well executed in terms of cinematography, moves and highly interesting scenarios and outcomes.

Izuku continues his solid development, but unfortunately he wasn’t as good as he was in the first season. All Might as is as goofy and as fun as he was before, there is no doubt about it. He is one of my favorites. Bakugo has some excellent scenes with our protagonist, and the two have actually become a really interesting duo with a wonderful dynamic.

The action continues to be pretty good, but the storytelling overall wasn’t the greatest. In particular, the second half of the season was reduced to many very silly humor-oriented episodes and a couple of them were just downright sexist and overly male-oriented.

My Hero Academia definitely suffers from way too many episodes as this is the kind of show that would be better suited for just one or two shorter seasons. This way, I lost my interest going in the second round, and even though it continued to be solid, it was never as memorable nor as charming as the first one.
