My Hero Academia: You're Next – A Decent Movie, But Could've Hit Harder It’s been a while since I watched Season 7 of *My Hero Academia*, and I’ve been missing Deku and his friends. After the intensity of Seasons 6 and 7, my expectations for the movie were definitely high—especially with a trailer that looked this good. The movie itself was alright. The concept had potential, and I appreciated the darker tone they were aiming for. Dark Might as a villain was a solid idea, but the whole “evil successor” angle felt a little underwhelming. It could’ve been explored more deeply, with higher emotional stakes.Giulio, the red-haired guy, was one of the standout characters. He was likeable and added some real personality to the story—I hope he makes a return in Season 8 (though I haven’t read the manga, so who knows).

Anas’ part was also pretty cool. Her powers and how they were used gave the story some energy, but at the same time, it felt like a power we’ve seen before. That kind of card has been played quite a lot in the anime world, so it didn’t feel as fresh as it could have.

Overall, *You’re Next* had its moments and was definitely worth watching as a fan of the series. It just didn’t fully live up to the bar the show has set recently. I’d give it a solid **7/10**—good, but not amazing.
