I feel a filler for e1 is just a way to recycle content. It's slow paced and doesn't have any plot development. Compare this poorly done episode to a well done one: Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara - Toutsuki Ressha-hen E1 (that just came out within 48 hours of this hero filler)... ...Pulled off an awesome finish to a cliff hanger last season. And then proceeded to start a wonderfully paced new plot |

WTF, I thought Bones approach to this adaptation, by doing season by season, instead of ongoing weekly episodes was to avoid this sort of episode. They should have just done a 24 episodes season and missed the recap episode, were not goldfish with five second memories. |

Hmmm, except Bones seasonal approach is so that this show doesn't end up like most shonen adaptations, full of fillers and recaps. Plus your response of just skip the episode.....if the episode is only worth skipping, than it wasn't worth making. |

A lot of times in the anime industry it's up to the production committee or TV channel the anime is airing on that gets to decide the amount of episodes a anime gets not the studio. And when it comes to adaptions based off manga that run in Shounen Jump they always get some kind of , re cap, filler most of the time no matter who's animating it. And the original creators the manga get involved with anime original content some times. Unfortunately hero academia happens to air on a 25 episode time slot in Japan that takes one week breaks sometimes instead of a 24 episode time slot. In the end it's just working with what you got. |

Alright. First up I just wanna say: "Calm your freaking tits" to anyone who was whining just because this was a recap episode. This was probably one of the most ingenious ways of making a recap episode I have seen in a while. Creating various scenarios that ultimately led to a recap to happen. The anime never truly stopped moving because of that. The anime has barely wasted time on recaps in general. So doing this now when we might have been a bit fuzzy about the past seasons is both excusable and a really good place for a recap to take place. I'm already impressed by a freaking recap episode. That's why I love Bones so much. It's almost an inevitable sign that this season is going to be a great time once again. ^_^ |

I hope we get to see more class B this season, I think they're interesting. :) Ok, what is the deal with the muscly teacher with the tubes? Did they show him at all in the previous seasons? And putting him in that conversation with Aizawa about secretly moving the summer camp location and then showing the phone call with Shigaraki, man... throw in a token teacher and have them become a traitor... bleh |

I loved the first 2 seasons. No bullshit and fast paced. But starting the 3rd season with a recap/filler just pains my heart. And now the show's intro has spoilers in it. The first 2 seasons had absolutely no spoilers in their intro's. It feels like some marketing company smelled money and got there greedy little hands on the show. I fear for the worst. |

THAT IS CALLED TIMEFRAME, THE EPISODE CAN'T GO FOR AN HOUR MY DEAR FELLOW SITE USER. AND EVEN IF IT DID, IT WAS MOSTLY A RECAP EPISODE, so why would they reveal half unknown quirks that are subject for surprise drama later on? I just don't you lot.

I think most of the people do/did. But I came across some great panels in the manga and I can definitely say he might turn out to be one of the best characters in the series if not the best. His development is really subtle but its progressive, until some other characters which get one time development. That's the reason he aced the third character poll. |

I could tell it was filler as soon as they started recapping the plot because thats something that only happens in Anime. I wish they'd gotten one of those .5 episodes. Or, I dunno, made it clear it was filler. I know this is silly, and I know this is stupid, but this show really helps my mental state and I got super pumped for Season 3 of this show. I told other fans to tune in. I was posting a countdown on the half hour in this anime FB group I'm in. I stayed up till 230am by marathoning the Stain and Final Exam arcs. I was hype. So, having just watched Encounter, the fact that S3E1 basically recaps Shigaraki's epiphany and then turns into what is, clearly, hijinks ("beach episode") I was really bummed. I still watched it and I legit laughed my ass off when Aizawa kept Deku, Todoroki and Bakugo from having an undisputable competition, but overall the best part of the episode was that few seconds after the credits where they're all like "we're moving where the training camp is" and I got chillllllls Recap isn't filler though. Filler is anime original content that wasn't in the manga while recap is the repetition of canon content that already happened. You can just as well make a canon episode a recap. I mean look at Naruto Shippuuden for example which added so many flashbacka about previous events that it became famous for doing it. Essentially, this was all recap as well. A lot of it was during canon episodes as well though. The problem with the 0.5 episode would've been that essentially they could've only have adapted the rest of chapter 70 at max. There wouldn't have been any other good point to stop. This probably wouldn't have taken much time to adapt. Plus, tbh it would kinda feel weird to put that into the same episode as a pool episode. It fits better to just adapt 2.5 chapters next episode. They might give anime-only watchers false expectations if they ended with chapter 70. Kinda hard to tell without spoiling. But essentially if an episode was to end at chapter 70, anime-onlies would expect the next episode to pick up where it left off, while chapter 71 just offscreens the events you probably would've expected to happen. Nothing major though, so I actually don't mind that. Isn't really spoiling anything either, you'll see for yourself next week. I'm anime only, so please take great pains to avoid spoiling. I already found out who All Might fights here on MAL and the people commenting on Season 2 never once spoiled Episode 38. Episode 37 did that :-/ So I'd say that recaps are always filler unless the manga itself did the recap. Basic definition of Filler, no? I haven't read Naruto's manga. Oh, I do read the BnHA Manga up to wherever the show has left off so that I miss absolutely nothing, but still get to watch it in its full glory first. Regardless of the overall definition of filler/recap and the differences such as they are, this episode was full of stuff that didn't advance the plot and had me skipping forward on Crunchyroll because I'd marathon'd the second half of Season 2 to coincide with the release of Season 3 because I'm just that hype for this show :) Mostly I was just frustrated that something I've been waiting for some 6 months is finally back and I got blue balled ;) |

Ok, so this was a pretty decent episode, cleverly done for a recap but i'm excited for actual content next. More importantly though, can i just gush about how awesome the style of the ED was! It being done in the form of comic strips with the yellow hue added to them just made it look so damn good! Now that's creative!

I know some people don't like that the very first episode is a recap, but I can understand it. This is a show that is aired for kids coming home from school, and some kids might not have seen it yet. That's also why they always tell you the quirk of characters when they appear on-screen. But even so, it was an enjoyable recap episode. I like how throughout Class A, there are closer friendships being made like Kaminari and Mineta and then there's Bakugou and Kirishima. Oh yeah, I really like the new OP! The ED is good too, and I like the comic theme :) |

Really? I could tell it was filler as soon as they started recapping the plot because thats something that only happens in Anime. I wish they'd gotten one of those .5 episodes. Or, I dunno, made it clear it was filler. I know this is silly, and I know this is stupid, but this show really helps my mental state and I got super pumped for Season 3 of this show. I told other fans to tune in. I was posting a countdown on the half hour in this anime FB group I'm in. I stayed up till 230am by marathoning the Stain and Final Exam arcs. I was hype. So, having just watched Encounter, the fact that S3E1 basically recaps Shigaraki's epiphany and then turns into what is, clearly, hijinks ("beach episode") I was really bummed. I still watched it and I legit laughed my ass off when Aizawa kept Deku, Todoroki and Bakugo from having an undisputable competition, but overall the best part of the episode was that few seconds after the credits where they're all like "we're moving where the training camp is" and I got chillllllls Recap isn't filler though. Filler is anime original content that wasn't in the manga while recap is the repetition of canon content that already happened. You can just as well make a canon episode a recap. I mean look at Naruto Shippuuden for example which added so many flashbacka about previous events that it became famous for doing it. Essentially, this was all recap as well. A lot of it was during canon episodes as well though. The problem with the 0.5 episode would've been that essentially they could've only have adapted the rest of chapter 70 at max. There wouldn't have been any other good point to stop. This probably wouldn't have taken much time to adapt. Plus, tbh it would kinda feel weird to put that into the same episode as a pool episode. It fits better to just adapt 2.5 chapters next episode. They might give anime-only watchers false expectations if they ended with chapter 70. Kinda hard to tell without spoiling. But essentially if an episode was to end at chapter 70, anime-onlies would expect the next episode to pick up where it left off, while chapter 71 just offscreens the events you probably would've expected to happen. Nothing major though, so I actually don't mind that. Isn't really spoiling anything either, you'll see for yourself next week. I'm anime only, so please take great pains to avoid spoiling. I already found out who All Might fights here on MAL and the people commenting on Season 2 never once spoiled Episode 38. Episode 37 did that :-/ So I'd say that recaps are always filler unless the manga itself did the recap. Basic definition of Filler, no? I haven't read Naruto's manga. Oh, I do read the BnHA Manga up to wherever the show has left off so that I miss absolutely nothing, but still get to watch it in its full glory first. Regardless of the overall definition of filler/recap and the differences such as they are, this episode was full of stuff that didn't advance the plot and had me skipping forward on Crunchyroll because I'd marathon'd the second half of Season 2 to coincide with the release of Season 3 because I'm just that hype for this show :) Mostly I was just frustrated that something I've been waiting for some 6 months is finally back and I got blue balled ;) "A segment of anime, whether it be an entire episode or part of one, which does not appear in the manga of the title. Fillers, as the name implies, "fills" an episode with non-canonical material which has been written usually by the same company which animates it. " -source: urban dictionary Yeah, I can kinda understand the last part. It would just feel weird if a new season just jumps strait into the plot again without a proper introduction. Especially if lots of stuff happens right away. Just watch tomorrows episode and imagine that would be the first episode without any sort of reintroduction. Looking at it the opposite way, each season so far got a sequence at the end of the last episode to wrap up the season. This is essentially, why they have to reintroduce the anime instead of throwing us straight into the plot. They might have cut it shorter, but then again this means they already used up the probably only filler episode that we'll get this season. Shokugeki no Soma jumped right in after being off the air for months without an issue. The season 2 recap was an OVA or something, right? Its listed as Ep0 I did watch the episode now and its freaking great, I'm so hyped, its just... I wanted the hype last week. :) That is because this isn't Shokugeki no Souma Season 4 as many are claiming, but the second half of season 3. So it is still the same season. It was just split cour, meaning the first half airs, then there's a 3 month break and then the second half airs. S2 also had another recap in episode 1 although it only spanned over half an episode while the other half adapted one chapter. |

The OP is insanely good. The part where the drop come and All Might gets pumped up sends chills down my spine, especially as a reader of the manga. Really excited for when it happens. I think people are going to have the OP grow on them a few weeks since every first episode they say the song is trash and by the end of the season its the best song ever. ED is nice, nothing groundbreaking. Not much to say about the episode itself, just glad to see the show return. |

Here is how I interpreted the situation: The current episode 1 wasn't supposed to be episode 1 (or an episode in general). Originally what is currently episode 2 was supposed to be episode 1. Last minute Bones decided they wanted extra time to work on later episodes of the season, but they didn't want to delay the anime for a week. They compromised by creating a recap/filler episode to start off the season. This threw off the company dubbing the anime. They ended up getting the episode late and weren't prepared to dub it. Now on top of the episodes they already had to dub (which they barely have time to do) they have to dub an extra episode. Because of all of this it is going to take them longer to get episode 1 out dubbed. On the bright side if you skip episode 1 you don't miss much because it is purely original content and does not impact the story at all. I hope this makes sense. |

There was literally no information about this except that it was delayed. No details that it was filler anyway. Thank you very much, I can now start watching this show! |

Kickass OP and chill ED, just like the past few seasons. Man fuck the haters hating on the song. The song itself is amazing but one thing for sure that some parts it doesn't sync well the visuals. (Kickass Visuals tho). Remember that this airs on pretty early in Japan so i expected some recap as same as Black Clover (and most Shounen shows that air on prime time slots) |
