TK opening is good, although I hope they eventually bring back some of the classic bands/singers who did some of the early OPs/EDs like LiSA, Uverworld, Kenshi Yonezu, amazarashi, Porno Graffiti & Brian the Sun.
I wouldn't mind seeing Blue Encounter, Sayuri, Little Glee monster return either.
Would help nostalgia carry me through the remaining seasons and defo help give a full circle feeling.
Not a fan of star and stripe what an ugly design.
All for one and Shigaraki merging together looked funny at least.

The 7th season is finally here! I feel like I've been waiting forever!

Star and Stripe is quite a powerful, and interesting character. Can she save Japan?

Well we got to see what Star and Stripe is all about, and why she looks similar to All Might in a lot of ways. She and Deku are both huge fans of All Might and the two would likely get along and be able to geek out together like Deku did with Nighteye when they first met.

Let’s get into the meat of this episode, and that is on the fighting style of Star. Firstly I want to mention how it’s convenient timing that when her life was on the line, All Might was there to save her. Reminds me of how Izuku’s hero story started with All Might saving him from the sludge monster. There is a difference though in the fact that Izuku already knew who All Might was. Regardless I can see why she idolizes him so.

New Order seems to be a pretty powerful ability and as Shigaraki mentioned, it’s better on objects than people. If someone knows how it works, they can counter any rule she places by not identifying themselves as whatever name she uses. But it does seem that her ability to manipulate other objects is limitless. She erased air in front of her to choke out Shigaraki (which against most villains that would likely work) and held lasers shot from those jets to stop Shigaraki’s counter. She then created a giant air version of herself that’s 1,000 times bigger. No wonder she’s the strongest woman alive and the Number 1 hero in the U.S. There has to be a limitation on the objects she can affect because otherwise I don’t see how anyone could stop her.

I want to see what else she can do…

Hey pretty good!!!

I've been hating on the anime for a while now but this episode got me invested pretty quick. Amazing fight with Star and Shiggy, glad to see it finally animated and it actually looks GOOD!!! Almost every shot with Star in it looked greaat!!

Excited for more!

Also decided to just watch the dub from now on, I don't care enough about this show to watch the sub anymore lol

This was a strong first episode where we saw Star and Stripe in action! Her quirk seems broken but so is Shigaraki's regeneration.

I enjoyed Shigaraki's analysis of Star's quirk and its limitations. I'm curious as well regarding whether or not it would work on an animal.

Really cool to see Star finally animated. Not surprised they spent a decent amount of time explaining and breaking down her quirk considering how complex it is.

"wow that op is probably my new favouite my hero op"

sees comments who hate it

"damn the animation is really good rn, if the entire season looks like this, this could be the best looking season"

sees people complaining about the animation being bad....


You know at least the first one is subjective.....


I mean who am I kidding of course someone always has to complain about everything with every popular show.

A nice comeback episode. Stars and Stripes's fight with Shigaraki is going well. The animation is pretty solid even though I don't care how well fight scenes are animated as long as they're enjoyable (might be contradicting myself with those)

Anywhooooo this was a fun first episode of the season and a great fight.

Wow what a way to start of the new season after that great season 6 we had back in 2022 and Star and Stripe was the highlight for this episode and the part I was most hyped to see and Bones is doing a good job with it tbhπŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I deadass forgot how fucked up Japan is after seeing the news from America and how it’s been affecting the other criminals across the world like this man One for All is a complete menace and now bro is merging with Shigaraki to become a whole new person like this guy is fr unhinged man😭😭😭

Poor Star and Stripe while she’s puts on a good fight, she’s gonna get taken out of the story in like the next episode all bc shigaraki isnt shigarakiπŸ₯²πŸ˜’😭

What a shitty episode.

Didn't help that the hero's superpower was beyond awful, the terrible dub and animation are cherries on the pile of shitcake.

At-least the writer's inability to make interesting superpowers is maintained successfully. We know that isn't changing anytime soon.

This series has a lot of this characters that have really interesting quirks but just end up using them to punch harder. It is definitely not jojo quality.

Didn't expect to se the #1 US hero fighting Shigaraki so soon. Needless to say she won't defeat him, I just hope she won't get defeated in the very beginning of this season.

Star and Stripe is so pretty. I love her. But, Shigaraki is no joke and from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like there's gonna be too much that she can do against him. I know her fate but the build-up was so good for this.

Animation looks sub par. Horikoshi's crazy good art doesn't get justice fr.

They did a pretty good job of explaining New Order.

Star and Stripes is a great character but oh well, we all know she could have one shotted Shiggy but he survives thanks to plot. We are getting a good ol' American style justice - nukes.

OP and ED are pretty good.

Nice beginning of the 7th season, I like Star and Stripe and her quirk (with its flaws as well), already some good fight against Shiragaki but since his identity his unclear she can't do anything without knowing his real name (just like a Death Note situation lol)

Ah yes, after 5 months here I finally am at the season that made me want to start this show. Been really hyped for it this whole time, especially now knowing that it should be as cool as I was expecting it to be. And a very good first episode too. Shigaraki is just as annoying as always but Star And Stripe really makes up for it, with a quirk that might just beat Permeation as my favorite and coolest quirk. I'll have to see more of it but it's a veryyy worthy contender. Sorry Mirio :(

My Hero Academia works far better as a binge watch rather than a weekly one imo, probably because of all the cliffhanger-y endings. Didn't binge watch season 6, but am now ready to binge watch season 7.

As for this first episode, not bad. I'm glad I can watch the next episode right away without having to wait a week, lol.
