Really? Just what are they thinking? I simply can't believe how they've been mishandling this franchise. Countless low-effort cash grabs, while sacrificing the quality of the main series. They had the most successful battle shōnen series (besides One Piece) and they decided to ruin it. There's no hope for MHA anymore.

I’m literally debating if I should stop watching and just go for the manga instead 😭

I don’t see the problem. They done OVA before, so I don’t see what the big deal is. This isn’t a movie, thou I’ve liked all the movies.

Continue to cry about it. MHA is beloved no matter what.

I'm up to date on the manga and have watched all of the episodes and movies multiple times. I would highly recommend the manga.

I have been a huge fan of the anime and that is what made me read the manga, but the quality of the anime definitely took a huge dip this last season and with the same ppl working on the upcoming season I doubt the coming season will be any better.

At this point the manga is much better than the anime, so I think the manga is the way to go to get the best experience.

Thank you for the recommendation! I will definitely do that 💕

Stop crying and exaggerating over an ova !!
It's a normal thing to do with any other anime lmfao
If all that was for just a side episode what will you do if they ruined S6 ? (probably & hopefully will not)

Don't most major shonen animes make OVAs, especially between seasons, to hold the fans over until the new season is out? I don't think a single OVA most likely made by a different team is going to single-handedly destroy the sixth season. I think you guys are catastrophizing. OVAs are the norm in shonens and most animes.

MHA was a joke since episode 1. The western audience over hyped it because of its flashy animation and because of superpowers. Even Black Clover is so much better than this joke of a franchise.

Kids these days don't remember when OVAs were probably half of anime output. MHA had an OVA before and no one complained or claimed that it was going to ruin anything. Quit being overdramatic over something that has no effect on anything or anyone.

All popular anime have silly specials. Even MHA has had silly specials before so stop whining over nothing.

Since nearly every reply here seemed to have missed OP's point, I'll try to elaborate a little. Based on even just the lower MAL ratings of season 5 and the 3rd movie (let alone any more subjective views of them) when compared to previous entries in the series, it does feel like the studio should've put more effort into, y'know, the main series. It's not that these OVAs exist that is the issue, it's the fact that despite an arguably subpar season and by-the-books movie they still decided to dedicate a decent chunk of effort to put forth 2 OVAs. OVAs which were pretty entertaining and well-animated, too! This just seems to show that their effort was prioritized improperly, or at least strangely.

Thankfully season 6 is straight into the action and seeming much more like the previous peaks of the franchise.

This! Its a good two episodes, they’re funny and we get to see a great new rivalry. Genuinely don’t know why people are upset.

dude it's a random ONA. It's not a replacement, what's wrong with giving fans something fun to chew on in-between seasons.

Stuff like this don't really make any money, they exist for the fans.
