Boku No Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi (S1, 2016)

My Rating: 5/5

Everything about it is just a fine masterpiece drawn and animated by its imaginative creators behind. There's nothing I could blurt out word precisely throughout episodes but rather "fantastic". I know there's 2nd season lurking around the corner at the moment and I'm all hyped in my seat looking forward to it like a half child, half adult used to when mom was scooping one's favorite flavoured ice cream. I couldn't withhold my excitement. Perfect summer so far with Izuku Midoriya!

Izuku is a child who was born oddly perfect in human form, yet a wishy washy from the eyes of others for he has been quirkless, a term often used for having no possession of power. Yes, everybody of his same age got special quality to cast their own remarkable, innate power unlike the latter whom has been humiliated and perpetually bullied by his friends. Izuku Midoriya, as young as bud he is, has nothing else to do but continue his fantasy of becoming a hero next to his all time favorite, All Might. The hero who went berserk, annihilated evil with all that expensive white teeth protruded when he's been doing all the rescue thing, that is All Might. Now the question would be: Is that possible for a worthless kid to become the next great hero? (Well, I say worthless not to intentionally blot reputation here but sad truth quirkless is base.) I thought perhaps he's going to be employed under government offices or be part in police department who are under bridge hiding or doing mischievous business in times of trouble. Absolutely, not! He wants to conquer enemy through his own capability; taking down notes of theories and observations from professional heroes he's seen - a fanboy (?), and mumbling all techniques that could be of any help in tumultuous situation. Heaven knows when he'd be able to perform miracle, but technically no one knows how to do it.

Izuku's mom was sorry for her quirkless son.

One thing I liked about this anime is the story that keeps telling viewers that kid is never to be underestimated. They have this secret hormones that probably need to be kicked out somehow, nurtured by the power of encouragement from each mentor and constant application should reinforce. It should be a great reminder for parents to be more accountable and never keep an eyes off of their own genes because no one knows whom they turn into in the future - the next Trump, hacker, Bill Gates and what not. The crucial part is the improvement for our young generation into best of best. This anime has its recipe empowering children to achieve their ambition of becoming dauntless hero. At what prize maybe?

Some characters build enormous role in the story, and I should say unique in their own way. A young, ostentatious kid named Bakogou Katsuki has skill to emit fire on his palms. Midoriya has unquestionably huge admiration to him that never failed to impress. Kachann is the boss and Midoriya is one of those feebled subordinates unless Newton's law was applied to young protagonists and he becomes sovereign above the rest. Yes, he did it!

All I can muster is master the power of confidence with a heart. Midoriya has this trait. I loved the story, the animation was superb. I liked the idea of making importance on their costumes during quest. And allow me to give credits on one of my favorites whose named was Asui Tsuyu, a girl in frog form. She's adorable and a good friend of Midoriya in UA High. I liked her. Overall the characters are worth to be praised I'll guarantee you become fond of. Must watch!

Koe no Katachi by Yoshitoki Oima (2011)

My Rating: 4/5

By the influence of Your Name movie, I've tried to sneak a peek on trailer of Silent Voice animation before I read it online. I liked it. It is something that could bring your memories from  the past and chuckled a bit because you knew exactly how much you've changed so far. I remember when I was being bullied in highschool because I've got this curly, frizzy hair dangled free, which I inherited up to this time but rather fastened neatly, and there's everybody in the group was calling me "witch" for my high pitch voice compliments with my hair. I really don't care people here ridiculed me for being odd, but I don't know yet how will I react if I were in Nishimiya Shouko's place.

Nishimiya Shouko was suffered for having hearing impairment since she was born the chief reason why her parents got divorced in the first place because she's weird and there's nobody could handle at her worst except her mom. Her predicament dispersed herself from normal kids at her age. They constantly teased her badly and she was vulnerable indeed whenever brow beaten by them. Everybody thought she was worthless, a huge handicap that invariably needs to be pleased all the time. Her classmates couldn't tolerate such treatment. One day Ishida, her seatmate, and his cohorts making fun of her and thrust her hearing aid outside and altogether eventually discovered that it's very expensive. She was forced by her mom to transfer in special class of the same herd. Ishida was all to be blamed. Ishida shared similar fate with Nishimiya's after she's gone away and was bashed in return for being so rude until they graduated.

Regretful Ishida Shouyo from being bully now was mere hopeless at his own course of life that leads him to attempt suicide, but it all change when he finally met Nishimiya after five years. Suddenly, he firmly avoided hypocrites and muffled himself away from his ex-friends acting themselves like saints and able to find ways on how to reconcile with the girl she hated before.

Of course, no one could abstain oneself from things you averse forever, first, it's a small world, instead it should be healed bits by bits and this is what I liked most about the story. Part of being grown up is the reflection from the past mistakes and refrain doing evil things towards others. It might be hard to forget all bad memories, but can't change fact that the only remedy to regain peace is to forgive.

The reason why not perfect score of 5 was because I'd like to urge parents become more responsible for their kids. For instance, Ishida's mom hardly able to mentor her children because of her own business at salon. She has eldest daughter that brought  different guys into home. I don't know but it bothers me so much why parents tolerate this type of behavior that ended up their young kids preggy. Anyways, the stuff like this could be considerable in light manga story. The entertainment value was good. And something unexpected happens between Ishida and Nishimiya in the end which is so cute to see in live action. I can't wait. 4/5.
