Shy · review
I believe My Hero Academia and One Punch Man have set the bar exceptionally high in the Shonen "SUperHero" Genre. Firstly, this story is not like those two big names. It deviates from the typical narrative of striving to become the best hero or pursuing heroism for the sake of enjoyment. Instead, it revolves around more grounded themes and what they mean for the protagonist. While the premise may seem generic, the story becomes quite enjoyable when approached without comparing it to the major successful works in the genre. Listen, Introducing a female protagonist in a superhero genre poses unique challenges, as we are accustomed tomale protagonists dominating such narratives. But, the series manages to deliver a decent narrative.
This season obviously serves as a foundation for a much larger story, and I look forward to witnessing its further development. if not, they wouldn't have given it a 2nd season.
But If you're a fan of spectacular fighting, I recommend checking out My Hero Academia and One Punch Man. However, if you're seeking a more grounded story, I suggest giving "Shy" a chance.
