English Dub Review: My Hero Academia “Heroes: Convictions”
Overview:
Ochaco and the Todoroki family think back about why they are fighting and reconfirm their convictions as they continue to face off against the villains.
Our Take:
I’ll make this short and sweet, I’m sick of the recaps. We have one more and I can’t wait to be through with it because if I’m being honest they’re not even all that helpful if you haven’t watched the show at all. You might get the gist of what’s going on but you will be pretty lost in my opinion.
The one good thing I’ll say is this hits on some of the better moments and reminds me how great some of these episodes were. Jason Liebrecht kills it in his scenes as Dabi, but again just watch the damn show and don’t waste your time with this.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
