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.

This season features significant character development, particularly for Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki. Their relationships with one another and with other characters are further explored, adding depth to the story. The battles this season are spectacular, showcasing high-quality animation. The action scenes, especially during the attack on the training camp and the rescue mission, are intense and impressive.

The "Forest Training Camp Arc" and the "Hideout Raid Arc" have strong and engaging storylines. Each arc presents serious challenges for the characters and contributes to the overall narrative development. This season also delves deeper into the world of heroes and villains, revealing the backgrounds and ... motivations of the League of Villains. This understanding adds complexity to the ongoing conflict.

Throughout the season, there are many emotionally resonant moments, especially during rescue missions and internal conflicts among the students. These dramatizations provide emotional depth, allowing the audience to connect more closely with the characters. However, like previous seasons, there are instances where the pacing feels uneven. Some episodes may come across as filler or fail to significantly advance the main storyline.

While there is notable character development for some main characters, many supporting characters do not receive as much focus. Additionally, certain themes and motifs may feel repetitive for long-time viewers of the series. While this consistency can be comforting, it can also make certain parts of the story less fresh.

Mixed Feelings

My Hero Academia's third season is pretty fun. If you split this into two halves, the first half is way more powerful than the second half. In fact, I'm starting to realize that this show will porbably focus hard on the academic nature of being a hero rather than showing too many heroic feats, which is probably fine. I'm still here for it.

When this show gets awesome, it gets really awesome, but wouldn't it be awesome if it was always awesome? The first half of this season is really cool, showing us really stressful stakes and characters reaching their peak. The second half of the ... season feels kind of slice-of-lifey, focusing on character relationships, despite all the action that is presented on its face.

Season 3 is not bad. The art style looks clean, and it can look really cool during the epic moments. I think it's easy to enjoy this season if you're a MHA superfan, but it's not peak anime.

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.
