Theres no denying that seasonal week-by-week viewing of anime significantly decreased the enjoyment and quality of a show. Watching one episode a week just isnt the same as watching a few at a time. You wait a year for a season to air and its more setting up things than anything.

My Hero Academia S5 comes off boring when you watch week by week, because new gen anime fans cant handle slow paced shows. The messages and themes of S5 are actually really well thought out and executed. People just expected 24/7 intense action, which obviously cant always be going on.

Bakugo learning team work, Deku learning a lot about All for One, Endeavor family redemption, Kurogiri, and Shigaraki backstory are the core aspects of the show. You arent supposed to look at S5 for its action/battles

see it wasn't bad just different from previous ones, personally I didn't like it because I felt character development was a little slow but that doesn't mean it was bad in any way just a little less action is all.

theres only so much character development that can be done when you have like 25+ important characters now lol. i think bakugo and endeavor got a ton of development though

I agree actually. People tend to have short attention spans these days (including me lol) but when the action eventually does come, the build up would have been worth it

when it was airing I started watching mha and by the time I completed season 4, the first half was already aired so I binge watched it and it was still really mid, it has nothing to do with how you watch it "mid will remain mid"

Nope. Not at all. S5 was just absolute garbage. I watched it weekly till ep 4, then forgot it existed and then after it finished airing I made the second greatest mistake of my life and completing it. So no. It being weekly airing isn't the reason this season is bad. Because if that was the case then other slower-paced shows would have had the same reception. But guess what. They don't.

i assume the first biggest mistake u made was thinking steins;gate is good?

And yours is thinking that code Geass, your lie in April, bunny girl senpai, mha s5 and Akame ga kill are good.

odd cuz only one of these shows won an award at crunchyroll awards for 2021(it was my hero)

Meanwhile sg came out in 2011 lmao. And if you seriously consider the Crunchyroll anime awards a valid source then idfk what to tell you. And I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you're genuinely comparing sg to one of the worst seasons of anime ever.

My villian academia should have had a bigger spotlight than it did, kicking off the season and carrying the momentum, instead we had to start which is in my opinion the weakest arc in the whole manga, it only has one episode that is really worth watching, endeavor arc should have been positioned better and paced better, in general it was a rushed work that wasn't planned correctly, I agree that a lot of fans can't stand build up and want action but I don't think that's the reason for the failure of this season, MVA is considered by so many to be one of the very best arcs in the manga but in the anime it is not, because there was a slug to get to it and the arc itself felt rushed, perhaps my expectations were pretty high but I expected this arc to shine not feel the studio wants to get it done with

I personally dont think MVA mattered for any character other than Shigaraki. The rest of the league of villains just arent interesting apart from Dabi. They handled Shigaraki's "coming of age" really well and his back story was done extremely well as well. thats all i really needed from MVA.

mha is more popular than steins;gate, thats unlucky.

Wtf does this have to do with anything. If the popularity of a show, shows how good the show is then Sao is the 5th greatest anime of all time. Also, Sg is ranked way higher than mha, that's unlucky.

I agree that shikaragi is the main focus of the arc, but the build up matter just as much when you are going through the villians one by one and Shikaragi is the conclusion, it gave it a much bigger omph to me when I was reading the manga, how he is basically in a league of his own when it comes to his motivation, also the art helped a lot it was peak MHA art in the manga for me, at the end of the day my main complaint about the season is the pacing of the first arc

Not only seasonal watch, the real problem is garbage pacing. First arc should've only last 5 eps max. 1 match 1 eps. But nah, they had 5 minutes of recaps every eps, use too much flashback, useless anime original, etc. The first arc is an action dependent arc, it's not really story driven. So to make it enjoyable is having a fast paced and fluid action, not a repetitive flashback and dialogue every 2 minutes.

The best fight imo is the first one, and that's because it only lasted 1 eps. Even that eps is still not perfect imo, still too much boring info dump.

No animation studio apart from ufotable can accurately animate top of the line manga art.

it hasnt worked with berserk, or tokyo ghoul, and other manga that are just too detailed to be put into anime.

MHA in 3 less years got ranked far higher than steins;gate... rip

Got ranked far higher where??? Because when I see on mal I still see sg ranked at number 4, meanwhile the highest rated season of mha (s2) sits at number 374. Also, I think you should stop watching anime and go back to school because your math is worse than a baby's. Because last time I checked mha s1 came out in 2016. That 6 years ago. So...rip

It was bad season because the first arc of the season was underwhelming but necessary to introduce our our protagonist’s 500 other quirks, the second arc was bad because supposedly it was handled poorly, I say “supposedly” because I just didn’t like MVA at all, manga or anime, I don’t have a reason I just didn’t like it and most importantly, the season in comparison to other seasons struggled when the movie was in production along with the anime and given what we got, we all saw where the emphasis went but aye the movie was great so that’s plus even tho that plus does nothing for the anime.

Keep in fact what we want to see vs what we get, when you give us a set-up season, obviously there’s gonna be mixed feelings, although at this point this season could’ve been split into ova’s, maybe that’s just me

In layman’s terms that’s what it looks like to me, of course others can go In depth, I just don’t care enough about the season to do so myself.

you cant use pacing as a negative when u have steins;gate in ur favs. its first 12 episodes are paced extremely poorly.

It's not just about the pacing, story plays a major role, you can't compare Steins gate with MHA, that Midoriya part was important but the other fights were seperated in episodes which was unnecessary, they could have given MVA arc more episodes and see I like MHA and it is my honest thought on it

demon slayer came out in 2019 lol. aot had a 4 year hiatus

So? Wtf are you even talking about. Do you even know what a decade is? You're genuinely the stupidest person I've had a discussion with in my entire life. You make points that are simply invalid and the make no fucking sense. Most of the time you even invalidate your own points. Like, wtf. Also,a decade means 10 years. By past decade you mean the years from the start of 2010 to the end of 2019. Now I know I'm going to blow your mind but check me out. The year 2019 is between the beginning of 2010 and the end of 2019. Demon slayer came out at that period. Now s1 of aot, aka the most popular anime ever, came out in 2013. Which guess what. Is also between the years 2010 and 2019. Crazy right?
