Woah S5 is premiering now?!?! I had no clue...hype! I thought it was coming in the fall for some reason. For once, I'll try not to follow the season regularly so I can binge watch at the end.

My Hero Academia: Season 5 |OT| We Are Deku
- Thread starter Tace
- Start date
- Anime/Manga OT
After the past 3 seasons I think we all should just accept the recap episodes as a sad inevitability.
Thread title is great for the rage alone.
Well, I'll give it one thing.
For the usual filler that reminds us of the classes characters n' quirks, it was marginally better than the previous efforts.

first half will be more action but not very serious, second half will be more serious while still have some good action moments
I don't think we've ever loved MHA but we had a real soft spot for it and enjoyed watching it weekly... Until S4 was a total bust for us. Overhaul wasn't a very interesting arc and its saving grace were the Red Riot/Fat Gum and Lemillion fights. Then the rest of the season draaaagged and draaaaged on and we were like Thank God for the final two eps.
This was unfortunately another recap ep (why...?) but anyway we're very, very cautious.
Crossing fingers!

He's been there since the start of the show. Though he's always been a side character.
I thought about something.
The narrator is always Deku right, with an older and more mature voice.
He always says that it's the story of how he became the greatest Hero. I guess it's how it's going to end, no? He's basically narrating his past experience.

Hawks isn't on the faculty at UA is he? How would he have known class 1A's schedule? I saw the preview as well. Is he undercover? If he really is a traitor then why help Endeavour? To lull him into a false sense of security? Are they planning to ambush Endeavour and kill him?
I have so many questions.
I hope he isn't a traitor.

he isnt a liar but he exaggerates things sometimes

Damn but the Funi app/site are trash. Thing either won't load or won't let me get into settings to change the subtitles.
I just wanna see Mirkooooo

I think the animators must really like Hawks because every time they focused on him I thought "he looks nice"
Great episode. I love episodes like this. Oh and Todoroki's voice actor definitely had his Eren voice on during the episode lol
Almost got it to work, but about 3/4 of the way through Funi crapped out on me.
Whyyyyy
I do like what they're doing here, though. Feels like they're still basically doing wrapup on season 4 stuff that they couldn't fit, but it's all solid material. Todoroki family drama is always entertaining, Hawks opens up a fresh angle in the series, and even if I don't love the animation in the vestiges part, AfO's theme does a lot of work.
Also, MIRKO

Funi website is region locked for me but thankfully here is the list thanks to twitter (thanks to LEGABIRU).
3 of top 10 are MHA lol
and that is with it all being recaps
Seems more like there are people getting accounts on MAL since 7 out of 10 of this list are 2020-2021 anime.
True but that only makes season 4 and 3 still be in the top 10 even more impressive, hell season 3 was in 2018
It may be because I've been spoilt by other shonen adaption, but I wish the series were a bit more adventurous with its direction/storyboarding especially for dialouge heavy episodes like this. Still an alright episode.

Episode 2
Yep, great real start to the season. Great seeing more Mirko and they adapted these chapters pretty well. Last season ended with some of the Pro Hero arc left like Dabi showing up and Hawks being a double agent but it's a good way to start this season. Hawks being a double agent is a really interesting wrinkle to his character
The drip on Hawks this episode after Endeavor got discharged from the hospital...magnificent
Todoroki family drama A+ as usual. Lmao at Shoto casually slurping noodles when Endy got home. They are scar buddies now. Man has a lot to make up for, if he even can. He finally became the #1 hero but it cost him his family, that's gotta sting. Personally, I don't think Endeavor should ever fully be redeemed, but I do recognize the effort.
Loved seeing Deku's dream animated. AfO's music still gives me chills. I do feel like maybe they could've used a different angle for the scene where the brothers are facing off, it felt more dramatic in the manga, but it's a minor complaint. Solid 7/10 episode. Basically a set up episode, but an interesting and necessary one

what shonen adaptation does more than this episode did? I can only think of Jujutsu and maybe Kimetsu
Honestly AoT is the only one that comes to mind. Mappa did a great job with the slower paced episodes this past season. Demon Slayer's dialogue heavy episodes weren't too inspired but they were fun I guess.
I WISH JJK had dialogue heavy episodes tho smh.
I can agree with that. Shouldve had Deku's dream in an episode with a Deku-centric framing. But as you said, I liked the lore dump and the Todoroki family drama separately but as a whole it lacked cohesion.
Oh AoT for sure but I dont think of it when I think of battle shonen, tho i dont remember its demographics tbh
Jujutsu, Fire Force, and One Piece are some that come to mind. My issue with this episode is that it is a literal 1:1 shot of the manga, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but they coud have done something more interesting. I am speaking from a pov as a manga reader,
Just saw the epi, bit story driven but I really like it.. Like what they are doing with Hawk and the family drama! With Deku dream was also really interesting to learn
I must say I do miss the All Might and Deku training tbh.. For me the interactions of those two really made me enjoy the show

One Piece seriously? Lol, they adapt about one chapter per episode, it is as by the book as you can get
I didnt watch any scene from Fire Force tho to opinate
Yeah it's the end of one arc and the beginning of another so it is kind of odd. It's one of the downsides to Bones really wanting the endeavor fight to be the end of season 4 without being able to fit in the whole Pro hero arc. I think it turned out a lot better than I feared before season 4 ended but it does have these odd quirks
