| Damn have I missed Boku no Hero. Pretty calm start with a lot of recaps which was pretty nice as a reminder. As all the other OP's and ED's I also like the new ones. As a lot of people here mentioned, pretty catchy. Something definitely was weird when Mineta and Kaminari freely wanted to go to the school pool. Of course these 2 little perverts had something different in mind. So funny when Minetas ear got bigger and bigger when he heard what the girls were talking about. :D At least Deku asked everyone else of his class to come and so it became an interesting battle of who can be the fastest over 50 meters. Unfortunately when Deku, Bakugou and Todoroki wanted to start their final Aizawa interrupted them. Oh well maybe another time. We also saw glimpse of Shigaraki. Doesn't seem to good what he was talking about. He has definitely something planned. On to the next episode <3 |

| I'm so fucking HYPEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:D Missed my bby Todo-kun <33333 Dunno why peeps are complaining about some of the recap in the opening ep. I personally appreciate it bc I have terrible memory, so I'd rather have a smol recap in the first ep than going back to the previous season's finale and rewatching that X) |

| i don't know why people keep bitching about this being a recap. season 02 first episode was a recap too and you know, this anime isn't made for us, who download or stream the series, it's a freaking TV show. when a year between seasons has passed and assuming most of the audience are not that die hard fans of it, the recap helps the viewers to get back into the universe of the show and back on where the story had stopped. i've been marathoning the three seasons for the last week's now and yeah, it's a bit unnecessary to rewatch a resume all over again, but then again, it wasn't made for me. wait and see the same people making the same comments about season 04 first episode being a recap. and it is gonna be. also, i snorted when bakugou said it was freestyle when he won his race. HSGDJSISJSJSHDKWISHSI god, I miss free. ;; |

| Well that was a letdown. The season premiere was pretty much a recap episode...yawn. |
 |
on 
| Meh, it was mostly just a recap episode. |
 |
| How can you tell an animation team is tired? Beach/pool/swimsuit episode with flashbacks. That's the definition of tired. XD It was a lumpy ep but I can't believe they turned around and did another whole 25 eps for season 3. Thought for sure it'd only be one cour. Should I be pumped or is this effort going to be low energy compared to season 2? We shall see. |
| I like the indirect recap this episode was full of, needed the catchup! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It's nice that they made a whole pool episode for the two page spread of the Class 1-A girls in their swimsuits in addition to the recap for the past 2 seasons. I haven't read the manga for years now and it's been a couple of months since I've watched the last season so it was pretty helpful. I'm surprised that the Summer Camp Arc's right at episode 2 already, wow~ Just looking at the opening makes me really excited to see Muscle and the others. |

| terrible recap episode. great start to the season. |
animefan8800 said: And so the time has come at last for the third season of My Hero Academia to begin! And we do begin with "Game Start," the 39th episode overall. Inspired largely off of an extra double-page spread at the end of Volume 5 of the original source manga it's time for some anime-original pool antics! And I gotta say, I do sympathize with Mineta and Kaminari's desires. I mean the girls look fantastic in swimwear, especially Momo my god! XD But all of them do really. Well I suppose it was nice to start back into the series, recap bits aside, but I'm certainly ready for things to begin progressing even more with the main storyline next week! Oh, and yeah, fun op/ed. Visuals were very nice in particular.  They cucked us with that pool scene, not the first time they did lol where those 3 were about to go ham and destroy everything around them ( Sports festival ) Otherwise, the new OP is nice, its not as a good as Season 1 OPs where it shows the tension between Deku and Bakugo or just within the school in general, it seems this OP was more focused on the different enemies this time around. The song is nice though, I like it the most out of everything. ED song is meh same with the Comic Style, its ok. I personally like the last season one where they put Deku as a warrior hero instead LOL and Deku and Bakugo jumped up to start fighting some big boss at the end of it |
| osu, gonna rewatch it |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| Damn,I wanted to see who would win between those 3 especially without their quirks. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Ah yes. Now we're on the best OP of them all. God I love this OP so much, so epic. Its funny how MHA gives us a recap of everything including quirks at the start of every season like we'd forget after a tiny bit lol. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| I did not expect them to start with a full blown pool episode, so I knew it would be rather tame haha. This time I appreciate the recap though, it's been a while since I've watched season 2. |
I am anticipating for Todoroki vs. Deku vs. Bakugo scene, but Mr. Aizawa interrupts the most awaited moment. HAHAHA. |
 |
| Season 3 time babyt |
 |
| The OP is alright. Not the best yet. Also, the whole episode was just a recap. Lol |
 |
| A cool starting. But it was getting very interesting until Aizawa stopped everyone. Erasure Head is like a sniper but he is a great teacher. Next course is going to be amazing I hope. Mineta now have a pervert partner, Kaminari. Bakugo looks like in a good friendship with Kirishima. Tenya and Shouto are normal now. Things here quite settled down. |
| Wow, this animation is just... amazing. I feel like My Hero Academia has followed in AOT's footsteps; great s1 animation, amazing s2 animation and god-like s3 animation. It's a shame though that this episode feels like filler - I get that it's meant to brig you up to speed, but cmon this is the third season, people aren't going to start watching from here. Shigaraki looks as badass as ever and I'm excited to see what happens with his character. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Your typical introduction episode mixed with a "beach" episode. Pretty good OP & below average ED. The OP gives me dark vibes for some reason. |
 |
| L O L @ them using their quirks to “swim” Kacchan......lmaooooo & I’m pretty sure Shouto was ice skating at one point loooooool Kirishima and Bakugou dead ass doing everything together ♡____♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The first episode was pretty much filler and fanservice lol. Let's see what happens next. |

| Good filler episode. |
 |
| Didn't need a recap. Still a fun episode. |

| ***Starts Season 3*** :) Welp I've resumed watching MHA and Yep Season 3 it is!!!!!!!! The first episode was kinda like a breather episode with a pinch of flashbacks and the OP and ED were both decent (OP = ED) Starting off with Mineta and Kaminari plotting a plan which didn't go the way they wanted it lol Good to see Bakugo!! I was hyped when the trio were about to complete the last stretch of the swimming contest that is before Aizawa Sensei erased their quirks but it was fun tho |

| RIP Iida, losing to deku in a race when he didn’t even go full cowl from the start. |
| Gotta say, those are the ugliest girl's school swimsuits I've ever seen in any anime, or irl. The shape = intentionally ugly. The color scheme isn't so hot either, but... those were puketastic. |
 |
| This episode was mostly a recap, but still interesting nonetheless. |
 |
| Yeah recapshit. At least theres a good pool race there. No bikini no worry! |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| A filler episode set in swimming pool without ecchi and fanservice? I guess everything's possible after all Anyway this was pretty much a recap of what happened till now. Starting from the next ep, the juicy things will come |
 |
| Funny first episode |
 |
| Wow, what a very interesting choicee of opening theme song |
 |
| Well now for season 3, so far mainly just a recap episode, so not much to comment on....except Mineta is useless. Time for the summer camp. |
