Bit of a recap episode I guess, Mirio falling into the lake had my dying.

Also, the ED SMACKS, I think I prefer it over the OP tbh.
clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist.

The first episode was refreshing especially the Amajiki part. At first it was a little boring with intros but the studio is giving it a good shot overall. And lastly DISH , one of my fav bands. This is lit indeed.😍

It wouldn't be a new season of MHA without a shitty recap !

Nah I'm gonna be honest I really enjoyed the latter half of this one, I think that for a recap/filler it was pretty well animated, like it effectively had more animation than Mirio vs Overhaul from last season so this can only be an improvement lol.

Also, some moments were straight up hilarious, Mirio being the best as always, Bakugo f******g killing Tamaki and the others.

Not that the bar was very high, but this surprisingly ended up being the recap I enjoyed the most across all seasons.

Opening is bland, as expecting mind you. Ed is once again real nice.

I have moderate expectation for this one, don't wanna be let down like I was during S4.

Jesus! Bakugou shows no mercy, not even to uperclassmens XDD No wonder his intense glare scarred the crap out of Amajiki X) Just don't mess around with Bakugo's patience or you'll gonna get it *giggles* (Bakugou's now in trouble though) And Togata fooling around was very hillarious!

Great start! It gave me chills when Dabi shows up and tells Endeavor it's his first time meating him O_O; even though we know the truth!

I liked this episode. It was a recap episode going over everyone in class 1-A + hero names + Quirks which I like because it had been a while since I've seen season 4 and I'm not a manga reader, so it was very welcome. I also liked seeing more of Endeavour and what happened to him when he won his fight against Nomu. I find it slightly odd that people are already rating this season when this episode was a recap episode and not content from the actual season, but whatever.

Well... At least they tried something new with the recap I suppose.... Is a recap really needed? Nothing really happened last season---- I like how they added the big 3 since they are so forgettable

I don't want to write too many negatives so:
Mirio in the river was funny and the new Op and Ed are good.

Am excited to see Shinso again, Been waiting over a year for the arc to be animated just so I could see him >w>

I don't mind if they start a season with filler (not counting the post-credit part with Endeavor), but I hate how they had the narrator remind the audience of the powers of the students once again. I have been watching four seasons of this series, you don't need to remind me that Todoroki can use fire and ice for the 1000th time.

That being said, the part with Mirio in the river was genuinely funny.

Wasn't a bad recap episode. I liked how they had to fight the big three for their training drill, especially how Amajiki was so out of role with being the villain lol. Still wished they'd stop doing these recaps at the start of every new season, it's just a wasted week.

Also, don't click the spoilers if you don't want to know about an upcoming event. You've been warned:

I think people are thinking that this was a good episode 1 for S5....
This would have been good if it was Ep.1 of S1 (where they introduce the characters) or Ep.0 of S5 (prologue or recap).
This was literally the worst Ep.1 of S5 i have ever seen, if u have seen a worst1 plz tell me, i am curious (4/10)

The episode was not bad but without more. The scenes where we were shown the names of the characters etc. were useless. but it's cool to watch 3/5 for this episode.

Surprisingly not a bad start for the usual "OVA" first episode. Probably because they structure the episode in a way where it felt like a background for Yuki Hayashi OST to shine. His music can really carry the feeling of the series.

I just hope I don't get disappointed like in Season 4. No more tea villains and no more rock band concerts please.

Pretty much a recap episode reintroducing the characters, their quirks, and what happened at the end of season 4. Kinda disappointing, but this seems to be a common trend in this series for the first episode of the season to be a psuedo-recap.

Really not a fan of having every season start with a filer recap episode, especially here since it really disrupted the flow of events with everything with Endevear, Hawks, and Dabi. That being said, this was still an enjoyable episode. I like how they found a way to incorporate everyone's quirks, and the bits with Mirio and Amajiki were hilarious.

(And can someone seriously figure what's with all these low scores on every new episode. It's happening with every show I'm watching.)

A great start to the season! This recap episode was so fun to watch (action, duh) and was comically hilarious! It was very refreshing to see everyone’s face, yes, even Bakugo’s sneer. It’s ok Bakugo, we love your face. I can’t wait to see the upcoming episodes and see if we get an explanation about the dream at the end of Season 4 💕

Mirio was so hilarious lmao.He fell down to the river on purpose and I was like B R U H.
Tbh Mirio carried this whole episode.

A big F to those who skipped the ending as well as to those who skip the episode because they thought it's a filler.
THIS EPISODE IS NOT A FILLER I REPEAT THIS EPISODE IS NOT A FILLER

Oh come on bruh.You're being petty at this point.I'm also advising you to enjoy the Joint Training Arc to the fullest because it's the final school like event we are gonna ever get.

This was a ton of fun, I hella enjoyed this. The comedy was top tier, and bar some weird things I actually like the animation, I don't know what people are complaining about.

9/10 for its first episode, hopefully, the next episode follows suit in quality.

Of course Deku didn’t forget to do the whole hero world introduction monologue for the 5th time lol. Tamaki playing the villan was kinda funny, but i felt kinda bad for him. Miro floating in the river kinda reminded me of Dazai in that one scene :)

as usual we start with a recap episodeand it was fine the opening is kind of boring though i guess/hope they saved a more hype opening for the second part of this season that will have more action. Why are people already rating this season when all we have is 1 episode which as usual its a recap?? cant ya all wait and see at least 3-4 episodes before jumping to the bandwagon hate??

I thought the 1st episode was okay, but I liked it. I did enjoy the opening and the ending themes. I tend to only like one or the other normally. I thought it was a nice introduction to the season, with reintroducing the students and their quirks. Classic Bakugou getting mad at nothing. Also, what a way to end the first episode.

A great start to a fresh new season. Even though this was somewhat not canon because it was just recapping past seasons and showing each off the class’s members powers, nevertheless a enjoyable episode. I’m excited to see what happens next and when the arc officially starts. And I enjoyed the opening as well, nothing unique just pretty normal mha theme opening.

Endeavor is the best~ I love how dramatic the meeting between Dabi, Endeavor, and Hawks is.

Suneater is too cute with his "I just wanna go home". Bakugou has no restraint...seeing the students post-blast was funny.

The "H-Ero" magazines Mineta holds in the ED are a golden play on words.

Not a bad recap, all things considered. Appreciate they're beginning to use 1-A's hero names much more.

It's nice seeing this series return and seeing all the characters again. It's filler so I wasn't expecting much and it was fine. Not the biggest fan of the new opening visually but the song was a banger.

Also the Dabi part of the episode was really cool
