The 5th season of MHA is quite possibly the biggest waste of time I've ever had to endure as an anime fan, and I watched all of the 2nd season of Promised Neverland. I made this account just to review this awful season, I have truly had enough of this shit but I know that I'll somehow be sucked back into watching every new episode despite the fact this show has nothing going for it. It's terrible what this anime has done to me, even though I know it's a waste of time and that everything I've seen so far in this show doesn't take
...
it above generic shonen anime I keep coming back to it. With that intro out the way I'll get into why I hate this season.
[SPOILERS]
Story: 2/10
Most of every episode so far feels like pointless filler, not even including the actual pointless filler episode. I don't expect much from action anime tbh, just some interesting characters and a cohesive story with decent fights is enough to hold me over, but after 5 fucking seasons there has been little to nothing in terms of character growth, story progression or even time progression itself ffs. How the hell are they still in their first year as students after 5 seasons. The first 10 or so episodes are full of pointless fights between Class A and Class B. Most of the characters in Class A barely get looked at but now they have to compete with the even less present Class B for screentime? Not to mention that none of the fights had any actual importance to them, the biggest thing to happen from this arc was the black tentacles coming out of Deku's ass. Following these painfully drawn out fights we get an actual fiiller episode of the girl characters at the beach. That's right a beach episode, the creators of this anime just can't help themselves in wanting to waste your time. After this meaningless episode we move onto another weak arc. To sum it up the main 3 of Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo learn some shit from Endeavor and move on. It also includes Todoroki's family situation which we already knew most of. Fairly pointless season so far and with only 7 episodes left I'll be amazed if they actually do anything meanwhile with those episodes.
Art: 4/10
This might be the laziest season yet in terms of animation, most of the fights have felt lackluster and boring visually. Guess they're putting all their resources into that movie that they're making.
Sound: 5/10
This is one of the biggest disappointments for me, I've enjoyed a lot of the past seasons' openings and endings, this season's have been nothing more than average.
Character: 2/10
MHA has never had good characters in truth, but it's just become increasingly annoying how one dimensional most of them are. Not to mention the overabundance of them.
Enjoyment: 1/10
The least enjoyable season of MHA and something that makes me want to drop the show all together. I held out for large parts of this season because I had friends tell me how great the upcoming arc was going to be and at this point I doubt we'll get it this season. There is no enjoying this season left for me, not after having 2/3 of it be essentially meaningless fluff with mind-numbing episodes each week.
I got into this anime around when the 3rd season started, I had some hopes that maybe it could prove to be a great show, but how foolish I was. This season has broken me, and at this point it's almost drug-like how I know how terrible this anime is for me but I just keep coming back to it out of habit.
