Some people dislike when we get school stuff in the story, because it's "less serious". I think they forgot that the story is litteraly called "My Hero ACADEMIA". It's only logical to have school stuff here and there.
Plus it's well done, so I don't see the problem...

Can't choose an MVP for this episode myself, but I'd make my own pick from: Izuku, Eri, Gentle, Katsuki and Hound Dog lmao. I think Jiro being your choice is perfect tho! Xx

Idk, I fucking love season 5. People nowadays just want action and deaths every single season, no character development.

S6>S4>S2>S7>S1>S3>S5 the overhaul arc alone makes it top Two easily. S5 isn’t terrible. I do love the character development tho that’s in S5 so don’t think it’s gonna be terrible cause it’s not one bit. Still really enjoy it. Can’t wait for the season finale!

My personal ranking is S7>S3>S6>S2=S4>S1>S5
Season 5 isn’t bad at all imo there is a lot of great moment and great character development.
They messed up by reversing the MVA and Endeavor Agency arcs but other than that there's not much negative to say I think. The animation is good, the story is interesting even if it's more of a season of preparation and character development before seasons 6 and 7 but that doesn't make it a bad season. Since season 5 I find that the hatred that the MHA anime receives is very often unfair and just a crowd movement caused by haters. The anime is not perfect and Bones has sometimes made questionable choices but in the vast majority the Mha anime remains a banger.

Both the manga and anime for s5 have aged better since their original run. The short chapters in the manga and excessive flashbacks in the anime are much less annoying when you can just continue to the next chapter/episode instead of waiting a week.
These are also both only problems for the first arc. I think what happens in this arc is interesting and has payoff later in the story but the episodes are slow to get through it. The rest of the season is great.

Can people stop saying that about Season 5 like it's a FACT rather than an Opinion. I personally very much enjoyed season 5 and it's still better than a whole lot of other animes I've consumed! I understand and am not invalidating anyone's legitimate criticisms though! It's just... let these guys form their own opinions without the 'hanging weight' of everyone elses thoughts. Similar to the Sub vs Dub debate. In my opinion MHA does it better in most things than a handful of other animes out there😁 Again I'm not saying ppl can't have preferences or personal rankings. I'm just tired of people promoting their opinions as a fact and anyone that disagrees is wrong......lol

So... Season 5 IS the worst season no doubt, it's not that the quality itself drops a ton (it did get hurt because of COVID tho) one of the arcs is literally just the worst of the whole thing, even in the manga. But i'd only put it SLIGHTLY below S1, it's still good lol. S6 and S7 are PEAK among PEAK

I really like season 4, but I did not remember Gentle Criminal or La Brava at all. Somehow I did not find their story compelling at all. Liked it way better on the second go.

Peak of peak next week! 4x25 is my absolute favourite, can't wait for you guys to see.
I'd like to echo some other comments I've seen recommending the All Might Rising OVA, it's a great little video giving some back story to All Might, Nana and AFO.
Also, congrats on being halfway through the show! Have you guys considered doing some OP/ED reactions for the first 4 seasons? Might be easier to do in halves, rather than a full 8 seasons worth at the end!

My personal ranking is S3>S2>S6>S7=S1>S4>S5.
My reasons for ranking S4 as second to last might be a bit different from others:
1. The pacing: there was a lot more recaps and repeated content to pad out scenes, so when viewing it weekly, things felt dragged out and frustrating at times. I can't completely fault the studio for this problem though (S5 though is completely the fault of the production side xD), because in the manga Horikoshi kind of rushed through some of the arcs in S4, so it's understandable the anime had to pad out runtime...which leads me to #2
2. Hassaikai arc: this was one of the weaker arcs in the manga imo, and I think that impacted the anime for me as well (the anime actually elevated the fights, for example filling in the blanks of Mirio's fight). More time could've been used in the development of Nighteye and Eri (who's more macguffin than character), which could've made their scenes more impactful. Chisaki and the Eight Bullets also ended up as one-off villains, posing not as much as danger as we expected, and Horikoshi usually loves his villains (what a waste of their excellent character designs). Overall, it was arc that I felt had a lot of lost potential.
All of these are minor gripes though, MHA seasons are all over 7/10 for me and that's a hard thing to achieve for a long-running shounen jump series (the Big 3 could never xD). I'm looking forward to your reactions to the OPs and Eds~

there is no reason for them to watch it after season 5. it came out before S5 so they should probably watch it as the rest of us had to

2025-02-06 06:11:15 +0000 UTC
glad you liked season 4! for season 5 the pacing i think is its weakest part and with it airing an ep a week and during the pandemic def didnt give ppl the best impressions, also add that manga readers were also not thrilled because they changed up some stuff timeline wise. That was what ive seen and personally was not affected since i was anime only and binged watched s5 in one go so i still enjoyed it lol im one of the unpopular side to say that I think the high peaks of the season competes still with some peaks of other seasons but it all just boils down to preference at the end of the day we all just chillin and having fun with the journey so yea~
Also im so excited for the next covers!!! all the openings from s5 up to s7 are some of my faves so cant wait for that~ if its one thing we can all agree on its that mha will never miss with the music

As you guys have correctly identified, this arc is the reason a lot of people are down on season 4 of MHA. It's derisively even called the "high school concert season". The people who have this criticism wanted the show to be more serious and focus on darker.
Like I mentioned in a comment just after you guys finished the Overhaul arc, season 4 of MHA was also followed very soon after by season 1 of Demon Slayer. The darker more mature tone of that show along with the vastly improved animation probably influenced the opinion that MHA fell off. That's my theory atleast. MHA was also developing a reputation for not killing off main characters. People started seeing this as the more kid-friendly anime. Season 5 of MHA also came out around the same time as Jujutsu Kaisen which is even darker and more serious, so that might be affecting the reputation of that season as well.

Honestly I think you guys will like season 5. It’s not as action heavy but there’s a lot of development and lore that sets up seasons 6&7 to be as good as they are.

Also season 8 comes out in October 2025 which means it got an entire year of development… which means it should slap.
Tyler Owens
2025-02-05 23:50:01 +0000 UTC
The people who don’t like season 4 are the people who watch anime for animation and fights… essentially teenage boys without a fully developed frontal lobe. They’re just louder on the internet than others.
The storylines in season 4 are some of the most important in the entire series, shits goated and there’s still one of the best episodes in the entire show remaining before the season is over.
Tyler Owens
2025-02-05 23:45:28 +0000 UTC
It definitely is weaker than Season 1, 2, 3, 4 & 7. Therefore, yes it is the second weakest. And the anime adaptation made it 20 times worse by removing any violence/blood and made the atmosphere as less tense as they could, compared to the manga.

For me, I'd switch season 2 with season 3, and season 4 with season 6. I like the story and pacing of season 6 better and the lower quality animation didn't bother me.

2025-02-05 22:19:19 +0000 UTC
S5 is definitely on the weaker side as I preferred the manga over how the anime adapted it however it still has its moments. Studio Bones did a good job with S6 and were absolutely phenomenal in S7 as that's the best season for me

I never prioritized anything, I am literally subscribed to their Patreon for their MHA reactions. I am just recommending the movie in case they didn’t know about it. As for when to watch it, you’re right if there are spoilers in it, I totally forgot since I watched it a long time ago

Why are you prioritizing your love for a movie over the quality of their reactions? The movie may have been released before season 5 but on the timeline the movie takes place after.
Everyone seems to forget that when the movie was released in Japan everyone who was current with the manga at the time could watch it spoiler free. Anime onlys needed to wait if they wanted to avoid spoilers.

I think Season 5 and 6 are the weakest in my opinion (but especially season 5). Season 4 also gets a lot of shit (not as much as those two, and even then it's not deserved imo) because at this point it has been 3 whole arcs not involving or not progressing the League of Villains storyline (which is the main plotline) so people were understandably upset. Even though I like season 4, i can see why so many dislike it...

Gentle Criminal was interesting just seeing someone that wasn't an evil villain, wasn't a shining hero.. just someone who fell through the cracks. There are so many people that, for whatever reason, didn't fit so neatly into one of those two categories, so it was nice to show an example of that.
And yeah, the festival was an amazing bit of catharsis after some of the pain from earlier this season and last season. Showing the shadow lifting from Eri really was such a climactic moment.
Now I just wish I'd been patient enough to space out watching these reactions to shorten the gap to the next ones. (c:
