On This Day in Anime

A decade ago, fans of My Hero Academia got a special treat with the release of the OVA "Training of the Dead." This standalone story saw the students of Class 1-A facing a new threat during a training exercise, allowing for some fun, focused action sequences that delved into their developing superpowers.

Even as the main series expanded its universe and cast, this OVA remains a neat little package for fans. It's a reminder of that early, exhilarating stage of the heroes' journey, when mastering their Quirks and facing off against unexpected dangers was the primary focus, all wrapped in the familiar energetic style of Bones.
