The creator of My hero Academia wrote the greatest ending of all time. And decided against it. The absolute madman.
Whether or not the second My Hero movie meets your definition of "canon" is less important when looking at the film as its own canon. And that canon is Earth-shaking.
Totally not mad this was the last thing I saw before theatres were closed down. A fitting end in many ways.
Outro Song: Do I really need to tell you?

Treasure Planet is known as the most underrated Disney film. What makes this adventure special goes beyond what happened behind the scenes and more the genius that erupts out of the quiet moments.

Breakers:

Dr. Stone is chugging along but hits us with a cliffhanger at the end of episode 15.
Fire Force is back from its hiatus. Despite the flash, episode 12 leaves something to be desired.
Burning Effect graduates to a Breaker now that we have caught up to Chapter 40! There is a LOT to talk about and predict for what we are calling our "thesis" on the genre of BELT
Burners:
Desert Punk is kicked to the curb after the abysmal showing of episodes 10-12. Not sure what we were thinking, looking back.
Air Gear maintains charm and likable characters despite the fumbling plot through episodes 16-18.
