Boku no Hero Academia: Sukue! Kyuujo Kunren!

I'll honestly say that the ratings for this ova are probably another example of extra unnecessary content getting a higher rating due to the popularity and fondness of the parent story. I'm not saying that many ovas and specials cannot be really good or better, but the My Hero Academia Jump Special is not one of those cases. The story consists of nothing, but special training. It was kind of fun, but all it is watching the heroes take turns being the victims and saviors. It's mildly entertaining, but it's not that entertaining. 5/10 The art isn't that great. The art in the actual show looks better. 5/10. I'll admit that the version I watched wasn't the best quality, but the art still seemed quite inferior. The sound is no where near the quality of the usual stuff and it's a let down all around. Another 5/10. It's an ova so don't expect the characters to be as good. They're still fun to watch, but a lot of their personality seems to be missing and the different personalities that are usually enjoyable to watch, just are not up to par. 5/10. I did kind of enjoy this ova, but not all that much, compared to how I enjoyed the series. In the end, it's basically just a side story that didn't necessarily need to be animated. It's not bad, but it's not quite ok or good either; it's rather meh. 5/10. It's probably still worth the watch for big My Hero Academia fans.

Why the low rating? this was so fun to watch! When I finished the first season I thought "oh no, they never got to actually learn how to rescue civilians because these villains showed up!" and this OVA delivers that. It's funny, it's light, but then a new villain shows up and the kids are like "oh NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN!!" The fight scene is intense, the way we're used to, and even if you know what's coming, it will amaze you. I wasn't expecting the ending and to be honest that reveal just made everything even sweeter. I recommend every Boku no Hero fan to watch this, it's definitely worth it ;)

Ah, Boku no Hero Academia. Loved the first season, but felt that this OVA was a bit lacking in some aspects. Here's my take on it: STORY [7/10] A brief synopsis: The story basically takes place a couple weeks after the end of the first season. The students go back to the USJ to complete their training with Hero Thirteen, and find out that it isn't as safe and secure as they'd thought it would be the second time around. ART [7/10] The art seems to be the same as the first season, although it did feel a bit choppy in some places and during the battle scenes. SOUND [7/10] The sound was average and mostly uses the tracks heard during the first season of the anime. Nothing special or outstanding really. CHARACTERS [6/10] We see the characters just as they are during the anime. The difference is, they seemed 'dumbed' down this time and not as lively as they were in the first season. ENJOYMENT [8/10] Fans of BnHA will enjoy it due to the fact that we are getting just a little bit more of BnHA while waiting for the second season to air. OVERALL [7/10] Despite its flaws, it was fun to see the characters return again and to also witness their quirks in action. If you watched the first season of the anime and enjoyed it for what its worth, there's no harm in checking out this OVA.

I know I'm rating it a little high for just an OVA/Special, but I really enjoyed it. It an odd coincidence that I found this right in the middle of season three, but its extremely pertinent to watch this before the licencing exam arc in season 3. Otherwise, it looks like they had no rescue training at all. Especially Yaomomo's explanation of what to do and not do during a rescue mission had clear connections to Deku's reaction in episode 18 and 19 of season season III. ALSO THE STAIRS IDEA USING STUPID MINETA'S BALLS WAS BRILLIANT. I hate how useful he is lol. tldr; Make sure to watch this before season III

While the art and animation may not be as good as the original, this is still a good watch. This OVA takes place after the villain attack. The characters will not be as enjoyable, like in the parent story, they do act like in the original, just not too fun. We do get some todoroki "backstory". At the start of the episode you will get a slight recap, just to tell you what just happened, not all too bad. This episode is about their training and using their quirks for search and rescue. The music is the same from the first season. There is some mineta action looking at the buts of the girls. Story-6 Art-7 Sound-7 Character-7 Enjoyment-8 Overall-7

Yeah this was basically a similar kind of story to the main anime. This could have been some extra episode made as a secret ending to season 1. I don't see how some people can say this is of such a noticeable lower quality than the rest of the series in terms of just how an episode goes. You know its an OVA and that the stakes don't matter, but that's basically acknowledged by the story itself. 8/10 episodes equate to an 8/10 series and this would basically be in line with that. Key word being would, because my only real negative here is that this is an OVA that was a bit obscure for a while, and maybe this could be just from where I got it, but the resolution and quality on gogoanime.so, where I usually watch anime was quite lower with mistakes in the translation and the framing of the dialogue. I don't know where it got messed up along the way but it didn't help things. And to the OVA itself, I think that's the opportunity to have some fun event or thing you want to do or experiment with, but this is just a bit of fun.

Well to be honest with you there's really nothing special, about this special Pros: Not much. Cons: It's does nothing to further any development. It's just The Life and Times of Deku and his friends at school learning how to be heroes. Again, there's really not too much going on just being at school learning to do hero things joking around with your friends, taking the piss out of the teachers, it's just a normal day of a high school student. Can't really say I'm surprised but I mean it is like their training episode if it didn't get interrupted by the villains. Not really too much I could say about it like half an episode in actual length, so my opinion on whether or not you should watch it is sure it short, sweet, and it's not going to make or break a series, also it's not adding anything new or special again, hence the name, it's just another episode, boom. And I didn't see any new interactions or glean any new information from this episode it's a basic episode nothing happening.

Well, there's not much to say here, hehe. It was a nice fun addition to season 1. Nothing important or necessary, but definitely fun to watch and entertaining. The character traits were well defined, the battle was enjoyable, and well; having more Boku no Hero content is always nice. The quality of it is obviously not as good as the actual show, but it's only twenty minutes of a short, so it's not a big annoyance. If you want more MHA content, you can watch this. It's fun and a nice addition for My Hero Academia, nothing less, nothing more. :) I give Boku no Hero Academia: Sukue! Kyuujo Kunren! a respectable 7/10.

The episode brings some explanations about Todoroki. I hadn’t realized yet that Bakugo is rational and analytical despite not seeming like it. I know it was already possible to conclude that during the first season, but this episode is what made it very clear. I found the capture plan very intelligent on everyone’s part, especially Deku’s, and the fact that the teachers didn’t act normally seemed like it wouldn’t make any sense at all, but it did. The fanservice was enjoyable, the episode is good, and I’m glad I watched it. I didn’t even know it existed. The references to Anime Fest (a festival that showcases anime specials, trailers, and exclusive content for fans) are there because the episode was originally released at Anime Fest 2016, airing between the last episode of the first season and the first episode of the second. It was very hard to find the episode to watch, I made sure to save it in the cloud just in case.

(Fun Side Episode!) Watched the My Hero Academia OVA on our anime night before diving into Season 2—thanks to our anime geek friend Huzi for recommending it to stay in the lore! It felt like a fun, old-school break episode with a different vibe from the main season, more relaxed, but still connected to what happened after Season 1. The whole crew enjoyed the chemistry and comedy, especially Tails, who couldn’t stop laughing. It was great seeing everyone back in action in a lighthearted way. A cool little extra that made the MHA world feel even more alive. Definitely worth watching before continuing the series!

kinda cool to see the lil 4th wall breaks about them being at the anime fest, hella fan service lol it’s funny thinking back like my hero academia is was more fan servicey than i remember, i kinda thought it was just a general anime thing way back then when i was first watching it bc at the time i hadn’t seen much other stuff but now years later coming back it’s like they do go there often & now that i've seen more stuff i’ve realized lol. its funny to think back on but yea aside from that idk its aight, def feels like a non story made for an anime fest type shit so idk it’s a lil weird but def a time capsule. def a funny lil example of all might being an actual bad teacher though

(From the series of watching all the specials, alternatives, movies, etc. I haven't watched) So, this is a bonus special episode that shows a replay of the rescue training because the first one was interrupted by the villains. Here, we get an inside look at the replay. I like how, even though it's from the first season, they showed a little more about the other characters, which isn't usually standard. It's obvious that it's just an extra to fill the small time gap between episodes, but it's always something cool. It's not outstanding, but it's certainly not 100% intended , either. The plot twist with All Might is even a little funny, and it's good that they gave a slight hint from the very beginning in the form of what Aizawa said at the start of the training because it adds to the feeling that it wasn't too forced, in my opinion. Some people say they showed more of Bakugo's thinking and planning (adaptive) side here, which is rather rare for me it seems kinda pushed to say that but yea. So, that's also a plus. A few things felt like they were "forward" here. The last thing is... too much Mineta. in conclusion it might be a good watch, and it might even show a few cool little things about some of the characters.
