Overall, you can really tell bones didn’t put their best efforts into season 5 due to the movie. Joint training arc is one of my favorite arcs, but it got stretched out too much. Second half was fine though and MVA was done pretty well.

Going to be cautiously optimistic about season 6. If there is another movie coming out, season 6 is gonna suffer way more than season 5. I truly think season 6 material is where MHA starts to truly shine, so It would be much appreciated if bones went all out for season 6.

The kid we saw at the end with the Endeavor doll, Dai will probably play a bigger role in season 6. I don't think they showed him for nothing.

can someone tell me who the kid at the end of the scene is called dai-kun? is he the same kid at the beginning of the ending because he brought an endevor doll? spoilers are okay too

Forget about that Dai kid, he's just a wannabe, the character you should look forward the most in season 6 is:



Finally, we get her introduction, season 6 will blow your minds away with that character, she's the best fucking character in the show by far. HYPE!!!


can you tell me who is it? I don't read manga

Whoever decided to put that rock song OST at the end credits needs to be fired. And why the hell is ashido's acid man Cum colored? Some individuals Bones gotta be color blind. anyway, season 5 was horrendously bad. from pacing issues, excessive use of flashbacks, cut content and lackluster Animation this is definitely the worst season So far. Also, I'm Looking forward to seeing how Bones "Will" Ruin the War Arc.

new director* That's an issue that wasn't there for the first 3 seasons. Meanwhile, the movies, which inherited the former director, as obviously money-grabbing as they are, still have that classic MHA-feel to them that the anime lost. Season 5 was disappointing to me and I hope Season 6 is better. (Hopeful and optimistic)

I know the general consensus is that this season was pretty incredibly underwhelming, but I kinda think that helped in creating the hype for the upcoming war arc. Like I enjoyed seeing the various characters growing and being introduced so that they don't just appear out of nowhere with little to no screentime previously and have something happen to them then expect an emotional response from the viewer side, this arc was almost like a preperation for the next one to me, helping us connect to the universe of BNHA as a whole while developing deeper emotional connections to themes that wouldn't have been in the limelight otherwise. And the My villain academia part was fascinating af.

Although I will admit it sucks having to wait all that time to get a kinda half assed season and furthermore lying in wait knowing a goated arc is about to come, so yes, although it was not great I do not think it was shit either. Plus, it was more or less enjoyable in the end for me.

Overall a light hearted season with no particular standouts but will most likely act as more of a precursor for the story ahead.

Meh, another average or above average season. The last few episodes were good but the entire MVA was very rushed, either it was overhyped or they fucked up the adaptation (I didn't read the manga), was good but not mind blowing, bar Shigaraki's origin story which was great.

The rest was subpar or even shit.

6/10 and I'm generous.

I'm still convinced Bakugo was not that stupid earlier in this show. He was angry alright, but last 2 seasons have turned him into an absolute piece of shit.

Guess I'm in the minority, but I thought the season was fine. Oh well, everyone's got an opinion.

The only real complaint I have was that they showed Toga being alive prior to the MVA arc. It kinda ruined any suspense for anime-only people who might have thought they'd actually kill Toga.

Definitely not the best season.
The first part was supposedly to be as fun as the sport tournament arc, but it failed with too long recaps and battles.
The intern part was quite enjoyable, and the last part was my personal favorite.

Late to this but a pretty good season. It was awesome seeing the league of villains at the end and getting some new quirks in action. Although this was definitely a lead up season to next. I'm excited for the war arc if it's done well it'll prob be the best season in the show so far.

Villains had the best episodes. Hero episodes were kinda boring, since I feel like we have seen friendly competitions between classes a lot of times by now and class b is full of uninteresting characters, episodes about Endeavor's family were kinda meh as well.

This is about to be epic!

Firstly it seems that everyone in Class 1-A have massively developed their quirks to be more powerful than they ever were before. More specifically Midoriya has a better handle on Black Whip. However, he can only use it for about a second. Once he is able to use it more he'll essentially have an upgraded version of Sero's tape, making Sero himself obsolete since Midoriya will be able to do his job better.

Information regarding the successors of OFA has been revealed as well via All Might's information gathering. Most of them died at a young age due to the fact that during a time where evil reigned supreme, AFO killed anyone who could be considered strong, which included the OFA users. Hence they passed on the power in order to keep the fight going. Midoriya's next OFA successor quirk that he'll likely manifest will be Float, which is Nana Shimura's quirk. Bakugo points out that he's been able to fly practically forever, so while Midoriya will be playing catchup in that regard he'll be developing his skills even more via his Work Study.

Now it is time for the heroes to confront the Paranormal Liberation Front and end this coming war.

Gosh... Idk how many times they keep re-introducing the heroes like that and using flashbacks (I've lost count); they wasted about 3 mins or so just for that. Ugh. Compared to other seasons, this isn't quite the best.

All might's reason to keep living has touched me though :(

Well that was an abrupt finale, would have liked a cliffhanger kind of ending, showing us what's to come.

But finally, this season has ended, what a journey. There was a 6th season announced which was obvious since it's supposedly going to cover the best arc in the series so you know they won't miss on it but for this season, it just wasn't it. First cour was just extremely boring, the Endeavor arc was somewhat pointless but the ending was nice and then MVA which was better than the last two, but nothing amazing either. The one amazing episode imo was right before MVA, when Aizawa and Mic guy went to Kurogiri. Seeing Aizawa's emotions was a touching moment.

I have so much expectation with this Season because I read the manga, I love the Villain arc and I'm sad that they just compressed it to 5 episodes, so many flashbacks (in Episodes 1 - 20) that makes me annoyed, they drag it so much :( but overall, still good 7/10

P.S. please Bones, give Season 6 a justice!!! :( I will be very disappointed if it's not good huhuhuh

Well well well... What to say about this season... I think overall everything, the season was OK, with more things to comply than things to praise personally. The adaptation was just fine at the beginning, but the way My Villiain Academia arc was adapted was kinda dissapointing. The final episode was fine, great actually. Tenko Shimura: Origin was amazing, the best scene in the entire season for me. The sound effects in lot of scenes felt just... strange, like, the effects were kinda generic (except for the lasts episodes). Overall, and because of the amazing OP (Man With A Mission I love you guys), it's a 7/10 for me.

Conflicted. Really. The way season 4 ended with that dream deku had It kinda hyped me up to see what would happen next. But honestly I feel so unfilled after finishing this episode. Like what now ? MHA for the first time ever has left me quite underwhelmed. Yeah the villians basically carries the show and I'm sure this season was necessary to build up something greater to follow atleast I hope so.

Still. I wonder if this is what they envisioned for the fifth season. Idk how many more seasons this show has in it and no the movies don't excite me. I want those 25 episodes.
Idk guys. What happened? Is the fandom as a whole missing something ? Or does this season straight up meh.

Hmmm... I'd give this season an 8/10 instead of my ususal 9 for MHA.

Re-Destro was so underutilised. Also his name sucks, Black Fist would have been better.

The whole League of Villains vs The Liberation Army was so dumb. I would have preferred if they each were just normal villains trying to take out heroes.

Before I say anything.....today that is 11th Jan as per MHA is my boy Todoroki's Birthday so
Happy Birthday Todoroki!!!🎉✨🥂❄🎁

**Takes a deep breath**

So I've finally caught up with MHA.....no wait there's still a movie right?....movie no 3 ig?
But anyway I've at least caught up with the TV anime....Season 5 was not that bad actually.....yes the first arc felt kinda boring but hey certain characters did make it better.....
As for the second arc, it was better than the first arc and interesting too....tbh this whole season felt kinda relaxed.....I've already said it before, season 5 is like a set up for the upcoming season 6 of My hero Academia....for the war which is about to begin....And once again thinking about it get's me all hyped up!!!!!!
Season 6th been announced already.....coming Fall 2022....
I may pick up the manga after this.........anyways overall this season was pretty good.....

Allright episode to end the season thou it does hype you up for the upcoming events.

Worst season of bnha so far. First half with 1-A vs 1-B arc was quite boring and the later half was supposed to be better but with all the filler it was ruined too, except for these last few episodes. Anyway looking forward to s6 as it's gonna adapt a major arc.


I agree with this. But my guess is that they used this season as a lead-up to season 6 because they had to (re)introduce new characters (i.e. those in class B, the liberation army), develop existing ones so they can bring them into the big fight, and introduce aspects to look forward to in the new season (like the super nomus).
But it was boring and felt kinda filler-ish (it's not exactly filler as the introduction of the liberation army and other few individuals were important to the storyline but parts of the anime felt drawn out and more could've happened IMO). I'm pretty sure a lot of people will agree that season 6 will be one of the best so far (we have Deku's new abilities to look forward to, the paranormal liberation front, more super nomus, shigaraki's upgrade, and big cool fighting scenes, that weird omen starservant made about endeavor etc) so maybe season 5 just needed to be the lame one...

The whole end of this season was just a preparation for what's coming in the next season! Boy and i hope i am ready for that because it seems like this will be the next level! Hawks is indeed in the most dangerous situation.

This was another great season, and as always can't wait for the next one!

Well shit, not much else to say other than despite this easily being weaker than seasons 2,3, and 4, I still enjoyed this season. I want todoroki and momo to bang, jirou low-key my favorite character, and I will still be eagerly awaiting season 6.

I'm not a manga reader so I'm not familiar with the lengths of the arcs, but what I'd do to personally make this season possibly more appealing to me is this:

1. Significantly shorten the joint-training arc to just 3 or 4 episodes max
2. Keep the endeavor's agency arc as it is, maybe add another episode to it since I was kinda loving it actually
3. Use the rest of the time on the Meta Liberation Army arc and setting up the upcoming Paranormal Liberation Front arc for season 6.

That's what would fix it for me. Seems like they dwelt too long on the less important stuff, and robbed time from the real meat of the show. Not going to score it just yet, need to think about it some more; but I will either land on a 5 or 6. Significantly less than the 8's I gave to seasons 2,3, and 4 along with movies 1 and 2 (season 1 I gave a 5/10 lol. Now that I think about it, I'll probably end up giving this season a 5. Season 1 was kind of basic, but at least it fulfilled it's purpose in setting up the world. Season 5 on the other hand, while doing a lot right and having some great moments, still got a lot wrong to the point of them cancelling out. So I think the nice middle score of a 5 would suffice), but I still overall enjoyed it. Just much less than prior seasons.

Maybe even fans are getting burnt out at this point, but if Bones can knock it out of the park with season 6 and what is supposedly one of the best if not the best arc in the whole series. If they nail it, everyone's gonna be fully back on board. If not, this series is done.
