PLUS ULTRA!!!!

 

As we approach the severe academic pressures from midterm season, it is good to do a self check in to see where you stand. Sometimes most of the anxiety you face comes from not taking care of yourself such as your diet. Acclaimed poet and musician Saul Williams said “Your diet isn’t only what you eat. It’s what you watch, it’s what you read, it’s what you listen to. So I’m mindful of what I ingest.” In this case, I challenge you to change your diet up, the Plus Ultra way and watch this new Anime Boku No Hero Academia or what is known in the United States as, My Hero Academia.

 

An anime exploring the world of superpowers all known as “Quirks” in this show, over 80 percent of the population has an uncanny ability. Here we meet the show’s protagonist, Izuku Midoriya who was born Quirkless. Izuku Midoriya has dreams of one day becoming not just a  Hero, but becoming the GOAT (Greatest of all Time) despite being bullied by his classmates for not having a Quirk. After being the only one to try and save his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo from a villain, All Might, the world’s greatest Hero (Currently ranked #1 in the world), bestows upon him his own Quirk “One For All” which is passed down from by previous users. The show centers around how Izuku learns how to master All Might’s power as the current Symbol of Peace, begins to lose his power.

The dopest thing about the show comes from its character development as each individual character has their own unique backstory and is explored throughout the series. If you are going through a cold sweat due to all the exams you are facing, if you are anxious about that 7 page paper that is due on Wednesday and you have not even looked at the course readings for it as of yet, if you lost your focus because your semester bae broke up with you so now readings became foggy, THIS IS THE ANIME TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACK!!! Well, I could have dragged it, but this is a REALLY good show and besides, it can’t hurt. Give it a try, I guarantee that you will love it.
