el3mel said: KrowGrave said: The sheer amount of people who hate this episode just because it's more or less a recap is saddening. You have to realize that there are those who have yet to be introduced to this series and we need to give them something to work with in order for them to understand who our heroes are. The excitement and suspense are still coming our way, so please just hold on a week longer so we can get into the action. Besides, as far as recap episodes go, this one was far more informative than the norm, and gave us a pretty interesting cliffhanger that a recap wouldn't bother with. Looking forward to Ep 2! Plus Ultra! Why would anyone decide to start a series from its 5th season ? People jump into series at random points all the time. Not only in anime, but books and video games as well. I personally started JoJo in SC and liked it to the point that I backtracked to the start and went on from there. If you've never heard of a series, and you see a new season come out, curiosity will tempt you to see what it's about and if you like it, you go back to the start. All in all, these negative reviews and opinions about Season 5 are harming the odds of any curious newcomers giving the series a try out of the aforementioned method of discovery. You need to consider the series as a whole and what will help it, not just your own personal feelings on it not being action packed enough in the 1st episode of the season. |

| The problems with this episode weren't that it was recap, they were that it was incredibly idiotic. Of course you pull your punches in practice where people would get seriously injured if you didn't. No, fires don't suddenly burst forth out of icebergs. No, you don't send three of your best fighters haring off after some guy in a river when Tsuyu is already there. Of course you always should have Eraser nearby to control Bakugo because he's an idiot that should already be in prison. It's all the stupid things about MHA concentrated into a single episode. That's not to say there weren't a few good parts. A plan that put invisible girl to use was clever. Actually caring about reconnaissance was nice. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| damn, 1 episode in, and we already have casualties. RIP Amajiki senpai. |

| Was this show always for 6-8 year olds or have I been wasting my life watching Japanime? So much sakuga budget, for so little story. So many other animes deserve adaptations and productions and they waste it on shounen-taste of the week. Surely they knew how this opening episode would appear, right? Can't tell you which is worse, the pool opener or this. Probably this. You know, it's funny, but they should add more characters. They need to break class 1-a up and give us a real conflict. Too much happy goody stuff going on. But, I think this show is now officially dead. How can I justify giving this time when I still have 800 episodes of One Piece to watch? Truth is I really can't. I can't watch very little kids shows all day, there's better things to do. We get BNHA S5 but we can't have Watamote S2. F U Japan. |
| Well I liked it. I was really fun seeing all the characters back in action so I didn't mind the recap as much as the others did lol |

I once saw a Filo body pillow at a anime store in Akihabara, and people were buying it. I’m just looking at it as if it’s a severe liking or whatnot. I do understand, it doesn’t compare whatsoever, but if he is just like those other fans I’ve met then it is weird. (I mean loli fans) I am not saying he is, I did assume though in which I must take back. Truthfully in Japan, it’s not weird for older men to sexualize young girls in anime because they want that in real life. (However I did assume he was like that since I’ve been around it for a while.) So I do agree at what you are saying, although the differing severities are an issue in my perspective. Sorry for the confusion, pedophilia in Japanese culture is so common that I sort of jumped to conclusions. Thank you for informing me. no problem, glad you get it, yea no I understand that there are some people who are attracted to anime lolis/anime younger girls and although it might be weird I feel like it's just wrong to think that the same applies for them in real world and to jump to a conclusion that they're actual "pedos", not saying that for some it doesn't apply but generalizing them all and jumping to conclusions about them is just dumb |

| Good Recap Characters Information, i legit forgot some of the names.. After done watching Attack on Titan, I can't unhear Eren Voice on Todoroki now lol Good Training Class 1-A vs Nejire & Tamaki... Looking forwards into this Season, because i saw Manga Bros are hyping this season... |
 |
| 1528 Dislikes? WTF!? I know that for a so much hyped anime, a first episode of anything but season one being an introduction seems kind of weak, but to eveyone that is complaining about it I say (*brething*): REMEMBER THAT NOT EVERY VIEWER HAS STARTED WITH SEASON 1!! A recap is mainly for the people who just started watching the series on television, not for us that had been watching it since S1E1. Geez. |

| It was meh. Can't be mad since these anime original recaps are now standard 1st episodes. The op for this cour didn't catch my attention, but maybe it'll grow on me. |
| As it was expected, first episode ended up being a recap/filler one. Still better than just seeing the gang chilling at the school's pool tho. Also, RIP Amajiki-senpai. |
| Finally, season 5 is here. Can't wait for the first big thing. Best girl Nejire already back! This felt more like an OVA but I guess we need a recap of what everyone can do since it's been quite some time. That preview though, I'm scared. Don't tell me Hawk is working with Dabi. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |

I won't tell you that. I'm just going to laugh my best evil laugh. |
| It's cringy episode XD also, training is over use already so I want to see more "slice of life" episode than training again :( I waited so long for the OP song but I only like the chorus part of it >,< |

| S5 Here we go!!! PLUS ULTRA!!! 5/5. |
 |
| Cheesus why are there so many negative votes haha ...anyway, Hawks is potentially working with the League of Villains? WHAT |
 |
| Filler episode, very boring, not much else to say. Honstely don't understand why they're doing these fillers in the first episode each season but whatever. Seeing Dabi at the end was cool though |

| meh but the ed was real nice |
 |
| Pretty much what I expected from this knowing it was gonna be an original welcome back to the show kinda thing. |
| 1.5k 1 stars wtf? ............ |
| Pretty decent start imo. Nothing really good or bad from the content of the episode. The OP was a banger as expected. Really liked the ED too. 1.5k 1/5 votes LMAO. The bots should really be stop at this point. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Recap episode was kinda cool. Hoping to see more about Endeavor next episode. And I guess we may see Dabi too. |
 |
It was just a 20 min hero introductory filler. Also, can I point out the fact it took 3 of the students to save 1 man from the river lol? |

| The OP was lacking in the usually impressive visuals, but overall I'd say it's pretty meh, but the ED though, woohoo, it's wonderful! Too wonderful, it has a somewhat farewell tone to it you know. Well nuff said... It's nice to be back, it's been about a year since S4 ended and we've finally got S5 in our hand, another 25 eps long season which will cover THAT, and I'm hella excited, well at least when that comes. For now, we're served with a kind of recap ep, as a recap ep, it's done excellently, but for a premiere ep, it's quite a 'boring' way to start off the season, this entire ep does not take place in the manga, making it a filler of sorts, but I digress. Just glad to see the characters once again. |

| "Bring Bakugo to the faculty lounge." The sheer exasperation in his voice, putting the unspoken "...again" in there, is priceless. |
| Risk something, take back what's yours Say something they know they might attack you for. --Linkin Park, "Hands Held High" |
| Not the best first episode to the new season if I'm honest. I know it was just a filler, but it feels so repetitive; I swear you could take a screenshot every few seconds of that and all of them will look the same as a scene from another episode. Amajiki is such a mood though... Best boy x3 AND DABI AT THE END YESS |
| Nice recap! It's also good to see character introductions so that watchers will remember the names of the heroes again. Overall, the heroes' training is enjoyable. :"> I like the OP and ED theme song for this season. :) |
 |
| damn that was long awaited , Dekus face is a bit different than lasts seasons the ost brought back nice memories , quite a nice opening for season 5 with a throw back to s1 (villain attack) , classic bakugo too manga has gotten pretty far from what i ve heard bu i m not really reading it so big anticipation here |
 |
| This is my first time watching My Hero, since I'm caught up for the manga. For me, the animation was really bad ngl. The fps was so low. I thought the scenes with Mirio were funny tho. but Bakugo really made me cringe :/ |
 |
| Nice start for the season, specially the music was a stand out, but OMG!! if i have to see how the world is 80% quirks and have each and everyone quirks explained ALL THE FREAKING TIME! trust your damn audience for once! if anyone is actually coming to the show for the first time on Season 5, they can still catch up by watching how everyone fights. Always hated that part from this series. |
| Something else definitely happened at that ending, but Hawk for sure isn't a traitor. But i guess a decent start. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Haha I don't care what anyone says, but Bakugo is freaking hilarious and I love this character. Rage and all <3 |
