Character motivation merged with dynamics and interesting fights. A decent training arc that was well involved in the story. This season has everything an upcoming shounen must-have. Not to mention the Stain fight and Midoriya and Todoroki clash. The animations varied from above average to explosively dynamic. The Osts remained impressive and very motivating. Musically, I found the first intro more appealing, but this one also possessed its own charm. Likewise, the pacing suffers tremendously later on and MHA turns into 'Flashback Naruto Academia' over time. Unfortunately, the later school events are far more sluggish and uncreative than the sports festival from season 2. The first/second half of the season will be about the story and the other half will be just about school events and various actions. The further seasons of MHA will have the same concept. Is it right to call yourself a hero but at the same time demand wealth and fame for your deeds? Or is a hero really just a self-sacrificing symbol, which is only meant to warm people's hearts instead of enriching oneself?ĭespite everything, I personally agree with the villain philosophy on this point, as their definition of a 'true hero' is the correct one. This again provides a relatively interesting and critical approach to 'how true heroes' are defined. the same time, the second half gets a bit darker and is again about the Villains League and an assassin who targets hypocritical heroes.

In the sports festival, the strengths, weaknesses, and motivations of many characters are taken and put into very entertaining fights and games. How much their appearance and image will be important in the future and how hero politics works. Starting with being introduced more and more into the world of MHA, you also get to know the school system and also realistic aspects of the hero world. Not only did this one have relatively fast pacing, but also a lot of character screentime and content. This is without a doubt the ONLY season of MHA that stood out from the rest.
