| @NinjaristicNinja @MonkeyDJasper @TheEnhancedExe Didn't know that they would do both arcs in the first cour. If i remember correctly the next 2 arcs were about the same length as the tournament and stain arc, so i thought that it would be the same as the second season (one arc and opening up to episode 12/13 and then next arc and new opening up to 25). Next 2 arcs combined will be at least 20 episodes, so i was just confused. |

| Great start! I highly enjoyed the approach that this first episode came out with, summarising some of the events from different character’s point of views and once again recalling back their one true objective. This episode looked more like a buildup for the next arc, whatever it is, to come. The swimming competition was lit xD, with Midoriya really the only true winner of the competition. Iida v Midoriya was a close match too, and it was awesome to see both use their full powers. Only had the teacher spared moments later, we could have seen who’d won that battle, but it was cool to see him using his power too. Looks like the Villians are up to something, on the other hand. Sound Department played their part in this opening episode. I, particularly, liked the dynamic Op with the catchy visuals. It really blends in with the context of the show masterfully. As for the ED, it’s got a nice tone to it but I prefer the older ED over this one. It was fairly good nonetheless! This wasn’t by any means a serious episode, but it is just enough to rekindle my moods and interest for the show. Now, I’m hyped to see how this Season will fare. Go Beyond! Plus Ultra! |

| Didnt like the OP at first when it was leaked but damn it gave me goosebumps while watching it, loved the ED as well. Not sure if its just me but Midoriya's head doesn't really fit his body :/ |

Linkmstr said: Lylaaz said: Am i the only one annoyed that during the introduction Midoriya says: "This is the story of how i became the greatest hero." I mean: It is such a spoiler! Also, it is not even proven, not even in manga, that he will become the greatest hero (so far). So why do they spoil it so? I mean, Luffy from One Piece says that he will become the Pirate King. Naruto says that he would become Hokage. Boku no Hero Academia is more like an origin story to show the viewers/readers of how he got to that point. I don't know about Luffy, but for Naruto, he always said : "I *will* become a hokage. As in it is his dream to become one. He also yelled that out in every chapter possible. As for BNHA the anime takes a viewpoint of : "It already happened. I became the best hero." which kind of spoils the hole outcome of the story, even if obvious, removes some "hype" instead. If there is some very dangerous situation, i know that Midoriya will end up all well and goody goody anyway. Also in manga Midoriya, at least to my memory, has never used past tense of already achieving his goal. (i have to go and double check now...) |

| recap, slice of life, filler = most fans "great episode" LOL If this was Black Clover or Boruto, look at the hate it'll get. Double standards xD |
| Pretty sad that it's a filler / recap, but from what critics were saying I expected way more recap, so I was pleasantly surprised with all the original scenes. Don't like the new OP, maybe it'll grow on me though. The music doesn't seem to match with the visuals either. Also see: Erazor being an absolute blue baller lol. And the ending made me smile. Can't wait for next week! EDIT: after watching the OP 10+ times I really love the song, I still think the visuals don't really match though. |

| The MHA juggernaut train has come alive once again! =D Although this was mostly a recap/filler episode, I thought it was pretty good. It still had some funny scenes, fanservice with the school swimsuits and the swimming race with the guys was amusing as well. The new OP song sounds a lot different compared to the last three we had from the first and second seasons, but I like it so far. The ED animation was a nice touch of pencil drawings and a comic book-style animated panels that looked really nice. =) All in all, I'm looking forward to next week already. Bring on the training camp! =3 |
| Not bad for a filler episode! I'm not really big on the new opening/closing music. I definitely preferred both season one and season two's. The class 1-A boys got swollen - especially Iida! Haha! Kaminari, Iida and Mineta (even though I overall hate him) made the episode for me. There were some nice comedic moments between Kaminari and Mineta plotting to see the girls in swim suits and it completely back firing. I also loved when Iida approached them, blocking the sun and terrifying them with his bulk. Lol! Looking forward to next week's episode, when things finally get started and we see the summer camp begin! |

TheEnhancedExe said: xShinigami3125 said: Yea I also thought that was kinda stupid I mean the manga readers already knew what's gonna happen but at lest keep the others a little in suspense. Why are you complaining as a manga reader? It's obvious that openings are spoiling stuff, that's nothing new. The first opening of season 1 spoiled All Might vs Noumu, the first opening of season 2 spoiled Deku vs Todoroki, the second opening of season 2 spoiled Deku, Iida and Todoroki vs Stain. Plus similar to the Deku vs Todoroki spoiler, it might be hard to notice for someone who doesn't know the context. Anime-onlies will most definitely skip the opening if they don't want to get spoiled. The context is rather obvious and just because it happened before doesn't mean it's acceptable now and I as a manga reader don't complain because it personally affects me this time but rather because I generally don't like it if major story elements like that are being spoiled/showen in the trailer/opening |
Tell me about! DOUBLE STANDARDS! XD MHA cancer is most certainly real. |
Linkmstr said: He said that he became the greatest hero in the end of Chapter 1 and the end of episode 2 in the first season. Although, depending on translations, chapter 1 says that he became "a great hero" instead of "greatest hero". He still says the same thing word for word in the original Japanese dialogue. So yes, it's pretty much an origin story about Midoriya Izuku and how he became that great hero. Oh, okay, i see :) I guess i totally forgot that last chapter last line after all these years. |

| The OP will take me song time to get used to (It being not as upbeat as the previous three). I like the ED though, with sketches from each of the students of UA. Thank God they are still using the same OSTs as the previous seasons. Though the episode is much of a recap, I find it a good way of bringing in the new arc. Psyched for the next episode. PLUS ULTRA!!!! |
cry some more babby |
| Awesome episode and next Saturday the real dish will be served |
| BRAWLERS |
| Boring first episode. Just a recap. |

Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| I liked it, even though it was technically a recap. |
 A digital frontier to reshape the human condition. |
| Dam i NEEED that next episode so bad... OMG |
| So the first eps is basically a recap of the previous seasons with bonus pool scene, it was clever of them, i enjoyed it too. Love the OP even though i was expecting it to be more "energetic", but it still good. |
| The new opening is pretty hype. Wish they didn't spend the episode on recaps and filler moments but it was still enjoyable. Next week, back to the source material. |
 |
| I could have skipped this episode and miss nothing of importance. That subtle diss at class B was pretty funny, though XD |
 |
| The recap episode was done well. It wasnt like in many anime where the characters are stupidly talking to each other about the story so far; thus the recap made sense. I dont think it was necessary tho cuz I'm sure people have already watched the previous seasons a few times. The OP/ED are good but I personally prefer the second season's. Also, why did you have to interrupt, Aizawa sensei?! Edit: I take it back; OP/ED are the best yet |

| A well needed recap. And dude, this episode was fun. |
| Pretty good recap episode. Damn, I missed this show. |
 |
| It was fun even though it was recap and filler. I am glad the show is back, every episode of it makes me go out and workout. Excited for the rest of the season. |
| UVERworld with another lit OP! Tbh when I heard this was gonna be a recap + anime original, I expected it to suck ass, but I'm glad I was wrong. I enjoyed the episode! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
skrublordFey said: The new Free! is looking good. lmao my sentiments exactly |
i've been a weeb since i was in the womb |
| It was like a recap with some stuff, not bad though, I loved the " swimming " , even though Deku was the only one who swimmed. |
 |
| hm, i guess, the biggest fights will be in june and september or something like that |
 |
| Having a recap episode as your season premier might just be one of the most dumb and lazy things I have ever seen. |
 |
| It does kind of destroy my hype when it starts on a semi-recap episode, but it was still entertaining. The new opening is really good~ I'm looking forward to next week, it's one of my favourite arcs in the series. |
| and spoiling this much in the op, smh. all the good stuff, man.... |
|
| T'was an okay filler recap episode. That OP song tho. ELECTRIC. But, I don't think the OP matches the OP song. |
| Signature removed.AGAIN. |
