Fall 2025 Impressions: My Hero Academia S8, Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota, Sanda


My Hero Academia: The Last Season

Quick Synopsis: The ultimate season of My Hero Academia, you understand what that is at this level.

Lenlo: Ah My Hero Academia, so we lastly come to your swan tune. Let’s be actual, you understand by this level when you take pleasure in My Hero Academia or not, we’re like… 8 seasons in. Nobody is watching this that isn’t invested in seeing it via to the top. The true query is, what do I consider the ending and the content material being tailored? Personally? It’s… Alright. Muddied, a transparent imaginative and prescient executed sloppily that the anime has an opportunity to repair however most likely gained’t. Fortunately it’s nonetheless ok that I wish to end it, and I hope BONES provides it the animation it must shine, as a result of it’s going to be continuous battles from right here till the top.
Potential: 60%

Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota

Quick Synopsis: An excessively emotional center college boy tries and fails to prank his stoic feminine classmate.

Wooper: I’ve to name it like I see it – that is only a retread of Komi-san Can’t Talk. Positive, the male lead has extra of a character (“pissed off for no purpose”), which adjustments his dynamic with the feminine lead, however in almost each different manner it’s a clone. It makes use of on-screen textual content and a feminine narrator to clue us into what the silent Kashiwada is considering, its soundtrack is piano-heavy, the aspect characters’ lives revolve solely round the primary duo – the similarities are uncanny. That final level particularly is taken to the acute right here, with a number of classroom scenes organized in order that Kashiwada and Oota are within the middle of the room, and everyone else stands on the periphery, observing them as if they’re the one those who matter. The one moments of visible curiosity are exterior photographs of birds in a nest exterior their second-floor classroom, which are supposed to symbolize the present’s central relationship however in some way find yourself overshadowing it, regardless of constituting lower than one % of this episode’s runtime. This gained’t go down as fall’s worst premiere, but it surely’s the worst one I’ve seen at this early stage.
Potential: 5%

Sanda

Quick Synopsis: Two center schoolers, one descended from Santa Claus and the opposite keen to do something to get his assist, got down to uncover what occurred to one among their classmates. Did I point out she stabs him within the first 10 minutes?

Lenlo: What the fuck did I simply watch. Paru Itagaki, creator of Beastars, what the hell have you ever created? Why did our lead simply stab a child to show him into Santa Claus? Why is Santa Claus buff as hell? Why are we blowing up a college?! I’ve completely no thought what is going on or the place that is going to go. Will it turn out to be some form of battle shounen between the assorted holidays? Or is Santa Claus going to turn out to be a home terrorist to discover a misplaced little woman? I truthfully don’t know. However it seems to be good, the character designs are sharp, the artwork type stands out, and there’s simply sufficient sanity that I wish to watch extra and see what different loopy shit it does. Apart from, Fuyumura is kinda cute.
