This season barely slows down except for one almost-recap episode, and keeps progressing with intensity. The mood is already dark this time and the constant focus on battles and some tragedy makes this pretty much one of the best seasons so far. The character development hits home and human element of our heroes doesn't get overshadowed by any other aspects. Episode after episode, this season achieves the effect old-fashioned superhero movies used to have, and one which is sorely lacking in the modern times. The musical choice is also impressive as usual, with both the songs used to open and close the episodes managing to gel with the show's themes. This time, the humor is minimal but few moments evoke decent laughs from time to time. The fight sequences are highly impressive and the emotion behind those fights is what makes the viewing experience stronger and more immersive.
What I also admired about this show was the sense of urgency and yet not rushing things. Sure, there are a few things you might want to see more of, but the show handles the story well. However, the comic conversations and school moments take a backseat and majority of the episodes focus entirely on the war between the heroes and villains. Therefore, if you are expecting it to be as lighthearted as the previous seasons, it's not.
Superhero stories have always been about being the ideal heroes, saving the world, showing compassion towards those in need and battling evil with cool superpowers. Many modern works in this genre have displayed it, but the impact seems to be fading away. However, My Hero Academia, and especially its epic seventh season, continues to prove it's the human element at the core that makes a superhero story understandable, relatable, enjoyable, admirable. Therefore no superhero fan, action lover or an MHA admirer should miss this.
