Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season

As summer arrives for the students at UA Academy, each of these superheroes-in-training puts in their best efforts to become renowned heroes. They head off to a forest training camp run by UA's pro heroes, where the students face one another in battle and go through dangerous tests, improving their abilities and pushing past their limits. However, their school trip is suddenly turned upside down when the League of Villains arrives, invading the camp with a mission to capture one of the students.

Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season follows Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, an ambitious student training to achieve his dream of becoming a hero similar to his role model—All Might. Being one of the students caught up amidst the chaos of the villain attack, Deku must take a stand with his classmates and fight for their survival.

Season three of My Hero Academia was another fantastic season and had me hooked from start to finish. I enjoyed that it began right away with massive events to test the students and just kept building and building until it hit some of the most epic fights in the series so far. Of all the arcs, the Hideout Raid and its fallout ended up being my favorite. Those fights in that part were insane, and it made me respect All Might on a whole different level. I mean, when I first started this series, I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy him because he ... came across a bit cheesy at first. However, in the most recent seasons, he's had some of the best moments in the show, and this season completely cemented him as my favorite character.

Midoriya also stood out this season, and I liked how he kept growing not just in terms of ability, but in his strategy for fighting. He's starting to use his head more and adapt, so his fights are interesting because you can see him think on his feet. He's also learning more leadership skills, but he's still wild and gets himself into dangerous spots. Bakugo got a lot of attention too, and while I still think he's too harsh and violent for my taste, I will say he did grow some in this aspect here. What I appreciated most about this season, though, was that some of the other characters got their time in the spotlight. We met new heroes like the Pussycats and the Big Three, and supporting characters like Tokoyami, Iida, and Uraraka all got their time in the limelight with moments that made the class feel more fleshed out. The villains also felt more menacing than ever, with their new squads shaking things up quite a bit.

The production side of things was as sound as ever. The animation was slick, smooth, and dynamic, especially in the big fight scenes. Some of the action honestly looked movie-quality, and the character designs still burst with personality. The music was great again, too, with openings and endings that stayed stuck in my head and background tracks that struck just the right combination of superhero panache and shonen energy. The voice acting in both languages was really solid. I still think the English dub can be a bit too much, but it did a fantastic job overall. Both versions of Midoriya got his emotional highs spot on, Bakugo's rage was realistic, and All Might's voice acting is still the absolute best.

Overall, I’d give season three an 8/10. It delivered some of the most exciting and emotional moments of the series so far, gave plenty of growth to the main cast, and raised the stakes in ways that make me even more curious to see where things go next. If season one was the setup and season two was the build, then season three feels like the point where everything really starts coming together.

5.5/10 ~ better then S2, worse then S1

MHA was a show with a really strong start in S1 and then kinda fell off imo. S2 was pretty disappointing but S3 did step it up a bit. Which is funny because originally I dropped the show when it was airing around the time Slain got captured and all I recall hearing from m y peers about the show is about how bad Season 3 was and that they wish they dropped the show all together, in 2025 I dont know a single person that is still watching this seasonally because everyone dropped the show between S3-5. ...

After watching all of Season 1-3, + the first 2 movies. I now understand what must have happened. MHA does something kinda well for a Shonen specifically which is mix the emotional aspects of the show, intertwined with the fights and level ups. But the emotional aspects of the show sit in this weird category where I feel like its too emotional for the general Shonen crowd (IE: the target demo that is Teen/Pre-teen boys) But is simultaneously not mature enough for the adult crowd that are probably now into seinen or w.e, not to mention too violent for kids, and tackling touch topics like morality for children. I recall many people saying S3 was so "boring", after S2 that just jumped into a stupid tournament arch and featured the best boy Slain. Where S3 dives much deeper into character growth and the emotional aspect of the show with far far less fighting.

But at the end of the day, its still a Shonen and im forsure in the "too old for this shit" category. I mostly enjoy the semi political aspects and the moral questions the show really does a poor job of asking. As I said in my previous 2 reviews if I didnt need extremely mid show to watch while working I would never have made it past the mid point of Season 1.

That being said I think this show is pretty decent as a 1st anime, and probably great for kids between 10-16's

In my opinion this is the weakest season of MHA so far.

Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season

And here we come to the point where MHA, unfortunately, announces its downfall. Here the viewer again becomes terribly aware of how generic this series actually is and how little value is placed on variety and creativity.
-Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan of the series and love every single episode, but you can't ignore something like this.

This season begins with a training trip into the wilderness, so that the students of classes A and B, find out their own strengths and try to compensate for ... their weaknesses. But the villains know about this excursion and ambush them, resulting in a (not) epic battle. Perhaps it was better in the manga, but in the anime, its pacing was very slow and lacked momentum. The attack of the villains was not convincing at all.


What surprised me more, though, was their goal and what that resulted in. Although you might think that Bakugo is actually more like a "villain" than a "hero", here again, his will was demonstrated why he wants to be a hero after all. And that this fight resulted in the clash between All Might and All For One, no one could have seen this coming. Who builds in a fight against the final antagonist in the third season? This was indeed surprising, even if the course of the fight had been a bit stretched and lacked dynamics. Not to mention the final blow of All Might, cliché but convincing.


So far it wasn't actually that bad, it was "Average". But what awaited me after the fight was torture. By far the most boring and monotonous School Arc in the series. Not only was it uninteresting, but the pacing was also slow and there were almost no entertaining moments, even for me. If I could, I would have almost skipped this arc.


[Characters 4]

There were no notable additions on the part of the main characters this season. Instead, you got a decent presentation of the villains and slight hints of their "special" relationship. Later on, there are far better developments on the part of the antagonists, which impresses me a lot about the series.


[Conclusion 4]

A continuing decently entertaining season with a heavy aftertaste. Both animations have slackened here, as well as the pacing has become very slow. For a shounen fan, however, this is more than enough to get by. However, if someone is here for the story and plot, this season becomes a very heavy project.
