MHA is finally back.

Wow. Was not expecting TK to do the OP. That's pretty cool.

Star and Stripes' quirk is cool but I highly doubt she can beat Shigaraki. If she could, we wouldn't need the main characters lol.

Hell yea, Murica!

Star's abiliy seems pretty nuts though I do hope characters don't start getting crazy convoluted abilities.

OP was okay. Very surprised Invisible Girl got her own entire shot.

Even though it's the first episode and it started with a fight, I was expecting more. I'm waiting for the fight to really heat up. Star has one hell of a quirk tho.

I don't like the OP at all. The music and vocals are all over the place.

MHA has its ups and downs. Season 6 was really good, so I hope it gets better from here.
@Autoparts_22 OP IS THE BEST WDYM??

We are so BACK!!
Straight back into action πŸ”₯
That's why we got those 4 recap episodes Memories.

Also Hange VA "Romi Park" as Star and Stripe was perfect casting.
New Order is broken quirk.
Kinda reminds me of Negate power from Undead Unluck.

But i am worried though, i have a feeling Shigaraki gonna kill her soon.

Well! A very impactful first episode, and a great start of the season. That said, while I haven't read the manga, I know that Star and Stripes will not vanquish Shigaraki, because she's not the protagonist. Shigaraki has currently a strong plot armor that makes him invincible.

Anyway, I like her and her attitude, as it demostrate the overwhelming force of the US army.

Too bad that not even Shigaraki knows his true identity at the moment. New order is indeed a powerful quirk... I can't even begin to imagine what All for One would do with something like that.

Also, I didn't quite like the op. I got from it pretty much the same vives as I got for the 4th Op.

It's impressive to think that My Hero Academia has reached its 7th season. It has had its ups and downs, but it's done well to get this far. =)

I didn't watch the Memories recaps, but I won't rule out checking them out in the future if I decide to on a whim. For now, this first episode in the 7th season got underway with the battle between Tomura and Star & Stripe. The battles did showcase how strong Star is, but also how tough Tomura had become with his regeneration abilities.

The animation quality for the fight, as well as the episode itself was pretty good, nothing amazing, but no where as bad as a few snarky critics are saying. Here's hoping the quality can maintain this good consistency for so many episodes as possible.

The OP song from TK is one pairing that I wouldn't ever think of happening, but stranger things do happen in anime and this does rank up with them. Not the best OP song, but I think it's good. I do prefer Omoinotake's ED, which gave me familiar vibes to the Horimiya Missing Pieces OP that they did last year. =)

Is this Toru Hagakure in the opening not being invisible?!

yes you're right. That's Toru Hagakure. I could've told you why and when she first shows herself, but that could be a massive spoiler, so I'll advise you to avoid it πŸ˜‚.

Glad to see the season finally start. Star and Stripe is a little easier to like in the anime but they kind of cleaned some of the wonky pacing up which helped too. Looking forward to see if other sections flow a bit better than they did in the manga once they're animated.

TK doing an OP for MHA just feels weird but the shortened version of the song sounds good on a first listen. Fucking Americans speaking Japanese memes and sending out giant ass missiles.

Here we are back with My Hero Academia season 7, and what a first episode this was. Deku is officially back at UA and we get a mini recap of what happened at the end of season 6 with Ochaco's speech and thats it.

We get Stars and Stripes vs Tomura shigaraki which is one way to start the season off strong. Stars and Stripes quirk New order is quite interesting and i love how she can impose rules on things she touchs such as the air to create a vacum and then creating a giant version of her self. It just goes to show how powerful americas Number 1 hero truly is. All Might saving her when she was younger along with being her master is nice.

I do quite like Stars and Stripes her design is amazing (she's beautiful) and she very cool.

Seeing Shigaraki on screen is always spectacular and seeing him starting to not know who he is as he is "merging" with All For One is quite sad as i dont want him to lose who he truly is. I want him to be the final villian not All For One.

Shigaraki just pulling up on Stars and Stripes was crazy, especially on that flying Nomu well she had a squadron of stealth planes or something. America keeping tight lips on what Stars and Stripes quirk does was definitely the right move as we see Shigaraki doesnt know much about it but figures it out kinda fast. The planes are also quite cool with the lasers they fire along with the cloaking thing that did at the start of the episode.

New order struggling to work on Shigaraki because he currently doesnt know who he is, is gonna be the downfall of Stars and Stripes as we see the "If he moves his heart will stop beating attack" didnt work because All For One is trying to merge with Shigaraki who seems to not want it.

At the end of the ep when Stars and Stripes creates a giant version of herself and pin Shigaraki down with the lasers, which was a great idea. She gets help from back home by them sending some kind a missles to kill Shigaraki. It may not be looking good for Shigaraki but i know he will come out on top.

Why not just make a rule his body is made of glass? or has no bones? Disable his healing power? Turn his Brain to plastic? His brain becomes anti-matter and every cell would detonate like a bomb? Disable his healing ability? Ok, the plot point is she doesn't know his name. Why not use a series of hardened titans to force him into the upper atmosphere? I mean, there's 100 billion ways to trash Shigaraki, whether you know his name or not. When Superman couldn't beat Doomsday, they removed him from the planet. Cool, strap a hardened air titan to a stealth bomber, grab shigaraki and head straight up. Air gets thin, can't "heal" the lack of oxygens molecules moving blood around your body, you may not die, but your body can't form thoughts either.

Well. I used to love this series. I still do, but I think that reading the Manga and the way the story is going is ruining the overall story for me and what makes the characters interesting.
I disagree with the inclusion of AFO as the main villain. I always thought it should be Shigariki picking his mantle by betraying him and stealing the power he needed from him. Instead we have an amalgamation of both into a villain that is dull and uninspired. There are still moments that will move me for sure and I wanna see the end. However the more I read the Manga the more I realize this story is a dying star.

Oh, they showed Hagakure not being invisible in the OP. Nice.

Pretty excited to have MHA back. Really enjoyed the episode but I gotta say the part with Shigaraki analyzing Star-and-Stripe's quirk affected the flow of the confrontation a little.
Other than that, a pretty solid start for S7. Star-and-Stripe looks great, her quirk is cool asf and OST continues to deliver when needed.

Well this is it, the real episode of seventh season of mha.

Little recap, again, pay no mind.

Star on screen. Yeaa.

Ah so that's her quirk, New Order. As an american lady, its suits her well. But to think her past gonna be like that tho. Damn her teen is just so damn adorable. Wonder how she become that big mom like that? Must be tough for her trying to be her idol, All Might with those kind of quirk. But she's there manage to getting a hold for Shigaraki.

Like the usual norm, i have my doubt she's being able to stop the big boss that fast. Still its cool to see another country hero do their action, more so its coming from such a freedom of country america, to do their biddings. I just wish its a big hug, not that big clap and some random-name intercontinental missiles attack xd.

From episode 1, we decided to show at once the power of Star and Stripe, the chips of her quirks through the battle of Tamura-All For One, I love the series of 20 minutes in which during the timing just someone is fighting and occasionally we are shown inserts of the thoughts of the heroes, memories. One of the features of this anime is colorful fighting games.

I am glad that Bones decided to make 4 episodes recap in My Hero Academia Memories before starting season 7. Usually they always start their season with a recap or filler episode. But after season 6 where the show takes a serious tone, there is no place for a filler episode that ruins pacing. Bones thought about that carefully and gave us the best season pilot we can ever hope for.

I still remember the hype I got when Star first appeared in the manga and saw the art that Horikoshi drew in her fight against Shigaraki, I remember my reaction when I saw the panel of the condensed air that took Star form and punched shigaraki, it was sooo perrrfect. I was really excited to see it in the anime. And here it iiis. The scene was animated soo greatly with the epic Star theme OST it gave me goosebumps.

Dear non manga reader, next episode will be FIIIRE !!
