NEED A STRESS RELEASE AFTER MIDTERMS

HERE ARE TWO ANIME TO CHILL

Midterms got you questioning your life choice? Whether you are drowning or not in the unlimited assignments and exams, sometimes the best medicine is just zoning out with a good show.

And so here are the two-anime guaranteed to help you scream your stress away.

‘MyHeroAcademia’(PlusUltra!!)

Results are coming out of the midterms and if you are feeling like your GPA is in danger, watching a quirkless kid fight his way toward becoming the greatest hero might inspire you to keep trying.

“My Hero Academia” delivers super hype battles, emotional arcs and characters who work hard even when the odds are stacked against them (very relatable after the midterms).

This anime is nothing short of an electrifying journey packed with adventure, emotions, and pure adrenaline! From the very first episode, it grabs your attention and never lets go. Every character’s journey is beautifully crafted, whether it’s Deku’s inspiring growth, Shoto’s emotional battles, Kacchan’s fiery determination, or All Might’s legendary presence. And then comes Dabi – the ultimate surprise that leaves you stunned and speechless! (Don’t worry, no spoilers here.)

The fights are breathtaking, the soundtracks pump your heart faster, and the storytelling keeps you hooked till the very end. Yes, a few episodes may feel a bit slow, but overall, you’ll find yourself constantly on the edge of your seat, cheering, gasping, and feeling every moment.

All I can say is that this anime has the potential to go PLUS ULTRA and beyond!

The final season is just coming out, so if you like watching superhero type movies with hype battles just give it a try.

‘GrandBlue’(ALaughMarathon!)

If you are feeling down after the midterms or having a bad day, this anime can wash the stress off from you. Sometimes the best coping mechanism is laughing until your face hurts.

“Grand Blue” is not a complex story. Like most comedy anime, it operates with a very basic story – a college freshman looking forward to have a great college life. However, it doesn’t go as planned when he’s forced to join a “diving club,” in which the members drink and strip more than dive (there still is diving, I assure you).

Yes, it’s pretty ridiculous already, but it gets even better as the show progresses and more characters get introduced.

This anime is an absolute gem. From start to finish, it keeps you hooked with its perfect blend of hilarious humor, an engaging and thrilling story, and unforgettable characters. The comedy feels natural and genuinely funny, without ever feeling forced, and the story is much deeper and more exciting than you’d expect at first glance.

The voice acting is also top-notch, and paired with some incredible facial expressions, all the characters are funny in their own way. Honestly, the facial expressions are some of the most hilarious ones.

What really stands out is how Grand Blue balances its tones: It makes you laugh out loud one moment and sit on the edge of your seat the next, invested in the plot and the characters’ fates. The pacing is great, the animation is beautiful, and the emotional moments hit hard when they need to.

The show is absurd, ridiculous, full of energy and, of course, some of the funniest sh*t anime ever, which is exactly what you need when your brain is overloaded right now.
