Loved it, but damn those were a lot of flashbacks.

Opening was cool, although I prefer the first season's op. Ending contained a satisfactory amount of frogwaifu.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Well, the episode adapted just 1 chapter. It was fine for an opening of the new season.

Good OP, The Day is still better for me for now, though.

Excited about the UA Sports Festival, I'm thinking as well that this might be another one-cour season, we'll see. Can't wait for the show off between Todoroki and Deku.

Good episode. Love the All Might and Izuku moments. Guessing he's gonna fight the ice/fire guy in the future, that should be cool.

I'm glad Season 2 has started and i'm sure it will be awesome, however i can't say episode 1 itself were anything more than a 5/10 or so. Feels like people are lying to themselves just because they like the anime. Save the good scores for a good episode for some contrast, i doubt anyone really thinks this was a top score and as great as it will ever be.

The episode was okay but had way too much recap of the last season. Not much really happened other than announcing the new event, overall the episode was pretty uneventful and felt like filler in a lot of ways.

So this is already ranked #11 on MAL.

One episode, a lot of which was just recapping the last season and reintroducing the characters...and it's already ranked #11 out of every anime ever made?

The moments in the classroom were the best part of the episode! I'm glad Bones is taking the chance to show the kids interactions there, they are fun to watch!
What I didn't like was the opening and the recap at the beginning of the episode.
I'm excited for the Festival!! It'll be epic.

That was really boring for an opening episode. Too much recap, too much uninteresting everyday dialogue, way too slow in general, and now we're doing a sports fesitval of all things? Ehh I'm not convinced

I've already seen everything thats publicity available?! I was never talking about the series as a whole but the episode. And the episode was meh but people think its 5/5, 10/10 wooh! For some reason.. which is not. There will be awesome episodes that doesn't stand out because people don't know how to rate single episodes appearntly. Is this episode better than the entirety of Season 1? No.

Slow is an understatement. This episode adapted only 1 chapter while having a 5 min recap even though the series already has a recap episode. That's 20 pages of new content in 20 mins. The season should've been 13 episodes, while covering this arc and the next arc... and it's completely doable without skipping a single line. This season needs to at least adapt up to chapter 69 if they want a good season, but up to chapter 83 would be ideal (with an average of 2.5 chapters/episode).

Also, why the hell are people complaining about the rating? Most of you guys were on MAL long enough to know that every hyped up sequel has a really high rating when it starts, but drops drastically soon after. Ao no Exorcist S2 was at a 9 when it started. Look where it is now...

they adapted 1 chapter this episodes but added a lot of new scenes I thought it was a 3/5 tbh. This episode marks the last amount of recap from season 1 episode 2 looks to be adapting 2-3 chapters and they are both really good chapters so don't worry the hype will come next week or the week after that.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ITS STARTING. I'ma be watching that opening a lot, as well as the credits. I enjoyed seeing them all again, so, so much. It went by so fast though that it kind of hurts. Might as well give this a 10/10 since I'm here.

I thought the first episode was great! As a first episode it allowed us to see what's coming up as well as being able to reveal lots of information about characters. I can't wait till they actually do stuff.

Again, i'm not in doubt that something good will come later. But this is a discussion page for episode 1 only, and yes i voted 3/5 too. I'm just losing faith in the people who rate it 5/5 and such. There is no way this episode were as good as a episode can be. Thats what my point is.

They sure knew how to fill the episode's duration...

2/5 Maybe it is because I read the manga only a few months ago, but this episode seemed rather slow for the pages it was using.

And now we are moving toward the beginning of a succession of dreaded shônen nekketsu duels of super-powers, special mention to the one involving the hero and the double elements guy... I guess the animation will make it look even slower (+ less nicely drawn, but this is pretty normal).

Wow the OP was quite nice including the song! I'm guessing the one that was reading All Might's letter must've been the one that had those powers previously, I'd love to see who he is.

Damnnnn Uraraka was adorable as a kid, I died.

That's a heavy weight All is putting on Izuku, I hope he succeeds though.

The recap was not necessary. Was only there to pan out the episode. There's enough manga material not to do this anymore. Bones you guys are making the same pacing mistakes you did season 1.

All said I still enjoyed it, well the new parts. Love the new Op and Ed songs and the art is style great. I can't remember much about this part of the manga save a few key points so I'll be looking forward to what's to come. Just don't drag it out my god.

Yeah agreed, I don't see how its 5/5 at all lol. I only rate that for great / amazing episodes and imho this episode didn't hit the mark at all although it was still nice (I rated it 4/5).

i'm so happy this series is back, i guess it was just reintroducing the series, and characters. It also got me really excited for the event, i cant wait for the next episode

i liked that we got more of Ochako's character. also its nice to see all might still has confidence in izuku replacing him, and izuku just as confident in becoming the greatest hero. I love seeing them two talk, they are like the heart of the series.

all might only being able to hold his strength for about 50minutes was really surprising to me ?? omg

Tsuyu Asui (frog girl) is my fave character, i hope theres a lot of her in s2, i think shes pretty popular so there might be.

Pretty decent start although yeah it was more of a recap from what I can tell... but it was good and refreshing to get the memory back kicking when it comes to it so it helps at the very least.

Liked the scene for Uraraka's reasons for becoming a hero which was pretty much what I liked from the entire episode tbh :3

Yeah the recap was rather unnecessary, and the pace was just as slow as the first season. However, I'm willing to give it a pass since it's just the first episode, and since this will be 2-cour I'm still hopeful that they'll speed up the pace a little bit. At the very least, they shouldn't do less than 2 chapters an episode from here on out, but we'll just have to see.

The production value is top notch though, Bones is doing a great job in that regard.
