Nice! This is a good start. It is easy to understand and calm. There is not much action yet, but it is okay. You can watch it if you like a slow beginning.

Not bad but such an unsurprising start as the first episode, lack of excitement. The animation and pacing are decent, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a big Hero-Academia fan... Also, the character designs are kind of unappealing—I hope you get what I mean.

The premise isn’t that unique, but the real strength, as MHA, is the character writing. It makes you feel related to it. Great great to catch up with these characters. A buildup right from the start? I don’t mind. Ohh, a familiar face to heat things up. Interesting development.

Episode Context

Season 2 opens with a change of scenery and a surprisingly breezy energy. Koichi and Kazuho head to Osaka for an idol event, and the episode leans hard into their dynamic, playful bickering, casual chemistry, and the kind of low-stakes fun that Vigilantes does better than its parent series. The humor lands consistently, and the introduction of Fat Gum gives the episode a fresh injection of personality. Bones Film uses the new Osaka setting to shake up the visual palette, and there are flashes of action that hint at Koichi's growing Quirk capabilities without overshadowing the character work. It's a confident season premiere that prioritizes warmth and setup over spectacle, trusting that the audience is already invested in these street-level heroes. Expect a slow burn that earns its momentum.
