Invincible Fight Girl Review: My Hero Academia Meets WWE

The first four episodes of the series follow the same plot as any adventure anime, where a naive but determined hero embarks on an incredible quest to achieve his dream. No different from your Monkey D. Luffy trying to get to the Grand Line or Ash Ketchum becoming the best Pokemon trainer ever, Andie herself is such a compelling character to follow because of her anime personality Type A. She has the talent, determination and excitable energy befitting her young age. Sydney Mikayla’s voice is full of life and energy, reflecting Andy’s fiery spirit and childlike innocence.

It is noteworthy that Andy, a black girl, has the same skeleton as the aforementioned anime characters, since a black girl is a rarity. Sure, it’s an animated Western series, but it’s destined to fit into the Toonami block. So I think it’s kind of a loophole. That aside, Andi is another great addition to the pantheon of powerful black animated girls leading stylish, action-packed shows we’ve never seen before, alongside Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl (though her series was recently cancelled).

Andy also shows real growth the longer she navigates the city and its obstacles. One such obstacle is Craig (Paul Castro Jr.), an annoying conman character in a tracksuit who double-crosses Andy as soon as she gets off the boat and makes the situation worse. Despite the slight humorous connection to one of her idols, it ends up being very tiring to watch. I will be patient until he reaches an average level of development. However, in its current form it does not amuse, but only irritates.

That’s okay, because there are other great supporting characters in her corner, mainly Mikey Beefpunch (William Akey), an eight-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a sports journalist rather than spending his time training for the ring with his brothers in his Von. A family similar to Erich. Aside from his innocent demeanor, Eiki’s youthful and passionate voice will simply make you instantly adore Mikey. It also doesn’t hurt to have Clancy Brown’s booming voice as the Fritz Von Erich-like patriarch, which will send shivers down your spine and make Mikey’s need to escape his toxic surroundings even more urgent.

Invincible fighting girl boasts incredible fight direction. The furious facial expressions are expressive, and the fluidity of combat movements makes every fight exciting. The fight scenes are intense, cinematic, and adrenaline-filled, making you feel like you’re on a tightrope with Andy as she walks towards Luffy and Rocky. The quick and consistent combination of visual gags, exaggerated voice lines and reactions in each comedic moment also helps enhance the anime-inspired aura.

General, Invincible fighting girl is rising through the ranks as one of the coolest animation newcomers of the season. It wears its anime heart on its sleeve with a colorful world, a skilled teenage protagonist, and stunning animation that shines whenever the characters fight in the ring. Bringing this to a block aimed at teens and adults may seem strange, but this action-packed WWE lives up to My Hero AcademiaThe style series is a guaranteed winner, no matter the time slot.
