That blushing face of Jiro was super adorable! I kinda want more of that!

Preperations for the school festival started.. A band and dance performance.

Nice to see Eri again together with Midoriya and Mirio. Mirio talking about being together the whole day at their "date", dude you're giving her the wrong idea! XD

Also this Gentle person (proper villain or just comedic relief) is an oddball! La Brava seems adorable though, Yui Horie voicing her is gonna be sweet!

This season may have needlessly omitted tons of stuff from the manga but I'm just glad they kept Mina's breakdancing. VOCAL PERCUSSION ON A WHOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL

Aizawa is a mood.

Did I save this picture, or did this picture save me?
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.

Was kind of hoping Gentle would be voiced by Dio's VA lol. I would have laughed so hard.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Man, I'm so fkng happy to finally see Gentle and La Brava in the anime.
Sadly this will soon to be filled with people talking trash about this arc, but personally I love it, Gentle is a perfect villain for Deku to meet because their fight makes him grow a lot, I can't wait to see it, is the best one so far for Deku: without breaking any bones he 1v1 fights a person who is just as strong as him (thx to La Brava), learning that not all villians are bad people, is a really wholesome fight and I love it!
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

It was a bad ep, i felt like i have to come here. It's 3:00 am here. I couldn't sleep.

BNHA turned a shounen nightmare in this season. Eveything is so slow. School party? Come on, since episode 13, we didn't see almost anything. And, you come with "school party" at episode 18.

Also who is "Gentle"? New member of villains? He just looks like an ordinary guilty. Why even is he in the BNHA?

Just remember Stain. Herokiller did everything in 4 episodes. Now we can't even have a party in 4 episodes. Brilliant.
...

Lastly i want to say this, i love BNHA so much. I don't wanna fight. I'm just disappointed :')

8/10 1st
10/10 2st
10/10 3st
6/10 4st

Oh look, yet another school festival in which the protagonist class decides to put on a rock concert! How original.

I kid. I just want to know how they will make this incarnation of it interesting. I'm surprised it doesn't have a page on TV Tropes yet.

The new villain is pretty cool. Wonder why he didn't go the extra mile and just straight up kill the heroes, but I guess him being so skilled that he can defeat the law without killing them is supposed to play into the classy character he plays. I'm guessing he's going to interrupt the school festival for notoriety. He's probably going to target UA because of how reputable it is, not to mention the exploits of All Might and Class 1A.

Ya okay so everything about this arc is gonna be goofy but that's okay. I usually prefer school slice of life to shounen tard crap like this anyway. Even the "villain" is seemingly a kinda caricature.

Gentle looks more like a showman rather than a villain. I guess I will eventually like his character as long as he doesn't mess up with Jirou's presentation, that is.

I'm interested to see what his power will be. He's pretty clearly a "strong man but a total clown" archetypal character, which live and die on how well their powers are written. He'll probably be a minor villain who will turn out to have a heart of gold, turning into a good guy after atoning. Hard to say at this point really.

Although this arc sounds light-warming, slice of life or kind of ... filler, but I REALLY LOVE IT, the setting is good, focusing on more characters like Jiro, the new villain is also interesting. Lotta of good comedy scenes. I'm digging it !

They REALLY like to fuck the series...

First Part, very entertaining... FINALLY the time for Mina and Jirou to shine... Great heroes that need more time in the series...

Second Part, an emotive one with Eri... good too.

BUT then.... the disgrace appeared... "Gentle Criminal".. what the fuck is that...

After 2 boring episode, we finally got a good one again (the past one).... and now we got another good one... but it got all fucked up with that ending...

PS: i dont know if this "Villain/Criminal/Joker" is good or relevant in the future of the series (and manga), but right now it looked so out of place.

Well it's a treat to see the original intro from the beginning...though it serves no purpose whatsoever at this stage of time.

Whatever, the School Festival arc is here! The most chilling of the series to date. Seeing Ashido breakdance is just about the most coolest yet less cringe-worthy thing. And then...this could be the moment where the Kaminari X Jiro ship sails to full effect.

U.A. isn't just all about heroes, but also the other supporting students as well (we'd seen with some support characters of Class 1-B during the Tournament arc in Season 2). And out of everyone (even after reading the manga), I still can't believe how Todoroki's idea got the green light, and where Jiro finally got her screentime.

Meanwhile, Izuku and Mirio went to see Eri, now recovered mostly with no recessed power left, whilst Chisaki's nightmare living inside her that's full of guilt (to Mirio losing his powers). Regardless, Mirio's still the optimistic Lemillion (and it shows), and what better way than the school festival to lift her spirits up.

Even better...the duo of cartoon villains La Brava and Gentle in a YouTube video? Things are sure gonna be interesting enough, but time will only tell that this arc will last till the end of this season.

lol after spilling all that tea on La Brava, Gentle complained about how hot a single drop on his face was :V

Jiro is quite cute when she is being shy :D interested to see more of her songs along with Mina's dancing skills

nice to see moreof Eri, her attempt to smile was quite funny (even if the stuation is not actually funny), and now i wanna see if she gets permission to enjoy the festival

This arc is phenomenal in the manga. Made me tear up, had great action, a lot of good characterization, and was just a lot of fun. Seems a lot of people here like to Jump to conclusions and overreact to everything. But I guess that’s the MHA fandom for you. Can’t appreciate that they are fans of a legitimately great series, and just wanna demand constant action and “hype”. Learn story structure and writing.

I have a pretty bad feeling about this villain, he reeks of filler character for some reason. (I know it's not filler.)

Someone please tell me I'm wrong, and he doesn't suck. I actually enjoyed the previous two eps but this was just MEH.

I'm very close to dropping this season. One more episode like this or the previous ones and I'm done.

I will catch up when/if S5 comes out.

The first half of the season was good, ending with ep 13. 14 was fine, but since then it's cringe af. And I can't just ignore how ugly Midoria looks since ep 14 anymore. Especially his eyes, why are they so f*cking big? He looks like an old school anime girl.... I see 90% of the budget was used on the first half, of which 90% on ep 13.

i don't no your taste in characters but Maannn! Gentle is 🔥🔥🔥. well, for me at least.


Well, I clearly didn't get anything apart from the first impression for him as a character. It's a bit hard to take him seriously with that wacky of an introduction. Please tell me his character is much more deeper than from first glance?

i still hate the OP -_- it's such a contrast from the first half of this season

it's good to see more of the class get some spotlight tho
jiro looks like she is talented in music and will be a big character in this arc because of how prevalent she is in the opening
a concert type of event for class 1-A seems fun and right up her ally!

it's good that deku and mirio got to see eri! eri seems phsyically better but it's obvious she hasn't escaped the mental and emotional abuse that chisaki left behind.
i hope all goes well with the school festival. i like the idea of eri going to it, as long as mirio is with her.

this new criminal duo is interesting and seems to be another main villain being introduced to us. i haven't forgotten about that big forest oaf from the league of villains though. i wonder when we'll see them show up again. it seems like they show up whenever they want to.

i still don't know how i feel about this new arc.........
