The MHA juggernaut train has come alive once again! =D

Although this was mostly a recap/filler episode, I thought it was pretty good. It still had some funny scenes, fanservice with the school swimsuits and the swimming race with the guys was amusing as well.

The new OP song sounds a lot different compared to the last three we had from the first and second seasons, but I like it so far. The ED animation was a nice touch of pencil drawings and a comic book-style animated panels that looked really nice. =)

All in all, I'm looking forward to next week already. Bring on the training camp! =3

Not bad for a filler episode! I'm not really big on the new opening/closing music. I definitely preferred both season one and season two's.

The class 1-A boys got swollen - especially Iida! Haha! Kaminari, Iida and Mineta (even though I overall hate him) made the episode for me. There were some nice comedic moments between Kaminari and Mineta plotting to see the girls in swim suits and it completely back firing. I also loved when Iida approached them, blocking the sun and terrifying them with his bulk. Lol!

Looking forward to next week's episode, when things finally get started and we see the summer camp begin!

Well it wasn't a beach episode. Atleast make valid points if you want to criticise something.

Yea I also thought that was kinda stupid I mean the manga readers already knew what's gonna happen but at lest keep the others a little in suspense.


Why are you complaining as a manga reader?
It's obvious that openings are spoiling stuff, that's nothing new. The first opening of season 1 spoiled All Might vs Noumu, the first opening of season 2 spoiled Deku vs Todoroki, the second opening of season 2 spoiled Deku, Iida and Todoroki vs Stain. Plus similar to the Deku vs Todoroki spoiler, it might be hard to notice for someone who doesn't know the context.

Anime-onlies will most definitely skip the opening if they don't want to get spoiled.

The context is rather obvious and just because it happened before doesn't mean it's acceptable now and I as a manga reader don't complain because it personally affects me this time but rather because I generally don't like it if major story elements like that are being spoiled/showen in the trailer/opening

He said that he became the greatest hero in the end of Chapter 1 and the end of episode 2 in the first season. Although, depending on translations, chapter 1 says that he became "a great hero" instead of "greatest hero". He still says the same thing word for word in the original Japanese dialogue.

So yes, it's pretty much an origin story about Midoriya Izuku and how he became that great hero.


Oh, okay, i see :) I guess i totally forgot that last chapter last line after all these years.

The OP will take me song time to get used to (It being not as upbeat as the previous three). I like the ED though, with sketches from each of the students of UA.
Thank God they are still using the same OSTs as the previous seasons.

Though the episode is much of a recap, I find it a good way of bringing in the new arc. Psyched for the next episode. PLUS ULTRA!!!!

Well season 3 starts off with a recap episode as season 2 did. But at least this one was made much better than the one of season 2 (that one was just bad).

At least they put the recap in a little bit of story and nice pool fun. Over all it was an ok episode. But I can't wait for the real thing to start ^^ :D

@TheEnhancedExe

Didn't know that they would do both arcs in the first cour. If i remember correctly the next 2 arcs were about the same length as the tournament and stain arc, so i thought that it would be the same as the second season (one arc and opening up to episode 12/13 and then next arc and new opening up to 25).

Next 2 arcs combined will be at least 20 episodes, so i was just confused.
The camp arc and hideout arc are both 28 chapters so that’s 12-13 episodes right there since there’s a lot action scenes so the chapters are gonna be animated quicker , both arcs should be only 13 episodes since each episode is 2-3 chapters .

As recap episodes go it's not the worst I've ever seen. There were some fun new character interactions and set up for this arc which is nice to see.

There's nothing worse than a recap episode which is just nothing but recap so I'm glad they didn't do that again like they did between season 1 and 2.

Not 100% sold on the new OP but I'm sure it'll grow on me over time.

This episode being filler is dissapointing. I'm fine with an episode like this as an in between season OVA but as the start of a new season it's a real waste of an episode. Hopefully it's just a one off because I really like the summer camp storyline.

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.

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

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.

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?
