So the first eps is basically a recap of the previous seasons with bonus pool scene, it was clever of them, i enjoyed it too. Love the OP even though i was expecting it to be more "energetic", but it still good.

I thought that despite this episode being mostly filler, I found it very enjoyable. I haven't really formed a proper opinion on the new OP and ED yet. They're ok. Even though this episode just consisted of Class 1-A chilling at the pool and just a mild bit of fan-service it was enjoyable to see these characters interact with each other once again.

What I find interesting though is Kacchan's attitude towards Deku. I interpreted his interactions with Deku in this episode to be that Kacchan sees Deku as a proper rival now (after seeing what he could do at the Sports Festival and the Final Exams).

Other scenes in this episode such as the scene at the League of Villains at the start and the scene with All Might at the Police Station did give me a taste on what is to come in the next season, which has gotten me even more excited for next week's episode.

My only complaint is that the scene were Aizawa is going over everyone's quirks seemed to drag quite a bit. But apart from that, it was a very good introduction to the new season and has definitely gotten me excited about this anime again.

The new opening is pretty hype. Wish they didn't spend the episode on recaps and filler moments but it was still enjoyable. Next week, back to the source material.

I could have skipped this episode and miss nothing of importance.

That subtle diss at class B was pretty funny, though XD

A year sense the last season this episode reminded me what my hero academia was about and how much i love the show. im very exited for whats going to happen this season with the new villains in the league of villains especially. it was hard not buying the manga that was past the plot of season 2 this past year or so but i think it will be worth it.

The recap episode was done well. It wasnt like in many anime where the characters are stupidly talking to each other about the story so far; thus the recap made sense. I dont think it was necessary tho cuz I'm sure people have already watched the previous seasons a few times.
The OP/ED are good but I personally prefer the second season's.
Also, why did you have to interrupt, Aizawa sensei?!

Edit: I take it back; OP/ED are the best yet

Tbh when I heard this was gonna be a recap + anime original, I expected it to suck ass, but I'm glad I was wrong. I enjoyed the episode!

It does kind of destroy my hype when it starts on a semi-recap episode, but it was still entertaining. The new opening is really good~ I'm looking forward to next week, it's one of my favourite arcs in the series.

This is how "recaps" are supposed to be done. Instead of mere retelling of the events, you see the characters reflecting on the past in retrospective, giving new insights or solidifying their decisions made that time. Which is neat.

Opening sequence is supposed to this way. It is called "foreshadowing". You see characters, shadows, faces, without context, which you either don't know, can imagine or correctly decipher from the past and future occurrences in the series. They have properly done it, and are exemplary to most.

At first, I was kind of disappointed to hear that the first episode was a recap but I ended up enjoying the episode!
I guess it was a good way to do a recap based on what happened during the first two seasons and it was good to see the whole cast again!

I really liked seeing more Iida and Midoriya's friendship in this episode! ^^
Kaminari and Mineta was just funny in this episode when they wanted to see the females in their bikini's and it ended up with the girls in their one piece swimsuits! XD

This was a refreshing episode! I am so excited to watch the rest of season 3! Season 2 was just a masterpiece and I hope season 3 is the same! <3

Not a big fan of the new OP to be honest. I like the song and I like the visuals, but they really don't go well together. It felt like watching a poorly synced amv.

As for the episode itself, it was okay I guess. Not a big fan of the large amount of flashbacks.

Nice Prologue. They even insert that "gold" scene where All Might said to Midoriya that he can become a hero, and shed my tears... again. :')

This was dreadful. Starting off a season with such a filler ruined my expectations for the season as a whole. It was a really bad idea to start off like this. Also, is it just me, or did the animation look pretty bad in most of the pool scenes?

Very Nice Episode Overall.

It Was a Recap but one of the Better ones. I Still think this Should've beeen an Episode 0 butwhatever. The Pool Race was the Highlight of the Eisode Even though it was cut short by aizawa sensei. Nice to See MY BOY DENKI and Mineta up to their Pervy Shit like in S2 even though this time it didn't work out so well as in the Sports Festival. From next week on its Nothing but HYPE!!

Well if you're going to do a recap episode to refresh people's memories, I suppose this is better than most.

Bakugou once again showing that he's the most insufferable, pedantic, immature piece of garbage character in the cast. I wish I could mute his rants/screaming without turning the volume down for the rest of the cast.
Lol ... considering he made the episode actually not boring and he’s the most popular character this comment was a joke .


In all seriousness I must ask, how old are you? Since when has popularity served as a reliable indicator for quality in any sense?

I enjoyed this episode, I really like all the characters, so moments like this where everything seems fine and seeing them have fun are really nice to see!

However, the flashbacks were kind of a bore to me and personally, I didn't really need the recap of all the quirks of class 1A, although I understand why they put it in, since it's been a few months since the second season came out and it's hard to keep track of all the characters. I was also kind of sad we didn't get to see the race between Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki.

It was a nice episode, but I really can't wait to get to the actual story.

The third season is finally here, but starting with a pool episode and a recap. It was pretty good I guess. Just a refresher on what happened last season and know everyone's quirk. Looking forward for the training camp.

The competition was fun but there was way too many flashbacks, this felt more like a recap with bits of fanservice.
The real start will be next week I guess.

Also I like Uverworld but that op had such a weird structure, I can't explain well but it didn't really fit. Maybe I'll get used to it with time but for now it's just weird.

The opening wasn't too impressive, and I wasn't really floored by the episode either. The dialogue and inner thoughts of the characters don't tell us anything different about them, but simply rehearse the same characteristics we already know they possess. I suppose it suffices as a decent recap, but other than that I was just not into it. So far it's a 5/10 from me.

Worst episode of the season so far, the opening is like FMAB opening 5, huge potential but sucks because of a really bad synchronisation.
The episode was horrible, don't care about a recap episode, there is Movie Recap things for that, this was supposed to be an Episode 1 of an official season not a freaking useless recap with filler.

He is still listed as 166 though, and I don't think he did. He just looks more fit now and they have probably did not draw him perfectly.
