As an anime-only, I've heard good things about this arc. I'm glad they came back with a whopping 25 episodes. Love how they're focusing on Endeavor position as the number one hero, surpassing All Might now, and his family situation.

Some folks didn't appreciate the filler first episode, per MAL, but I thought it was well-needed to remind the audience of the dynamics of the class.
Always loved the strategic aspect of the show based on each party's quirks.

I was happy with the focus on Endeavor as well, I'm excited to see where they go with that and his family as well. They do a good job at keeping you intrigued. I'm also extremely interested in seeing Shinso's development and having more involvement in the hero course.

I can see why some may have not enjoyed the first episode however I agree completely it was a nice refresher on the ending of season 4 in my opinion.

Yes, Shinso's quirk is awesome and I can't wait to see how it's used against real villains this season. I actually want to see what will become of Mirio and Eri; will Mirio get his quirk or maybe inherit All Might's, and will Eri eventually end up in UA to train or something along those lines?

Can't wait 😤

Yeah I really think he'll prove to be useful in fights, even more so than he already has.  I can't believe I almost forgot about Eri though, it'd be really cool to see her attending UA. I hope to see her character stick around at the very least. She was a large part of the plot at one point, and with that impressive of a quirk they gotta show us some development of it.

So far this seasons had me waiting for the next episode as soon as it's over, it's been awesome. Now just to wait a few more days for another episode lmao.

My prediction: Eri is going to be a powerhouse when she grows up, battling for #1 hero with Deku and Bakugo.

Dude, I'm so tempted in starting the manga but then the whole cycle will begin again of waiting for a CHAPTER every week. So conflicted!
Show completely lost in s3 for me, the characters and the plot were just too much. Not to mention how boring it is to watch a self destructing MC in this manor. It's one thing to have a show about a main character breaking himself in a mental sense, but a character literally breaking his bones to do anything substantial is quite lame. The Index series had the same flaw.

I understand from that perspective but I'm more invested in the other characters.

That'd make for a hell of a show, I can see the two battling it out over #1 for sure but adding in Eri would make for something badass. I actually did start the manga as I was watching the show but over time it just led to me only watching it, now I'm so invested in the show I'm not sure I'd want to read further ahead lmao.

I can understand this completely, I believe I just took a strong liking to quite a few characters and I've enjoyed watching them develop. But I can't lie I enjoyed Midoriya's slow paced development but I do see how it can be annoying to have him injured every fight he was in. I believe it was done on purpose though as he goes from being a regular kid to being handed the power of the #1 hero. It shows how difficult it was for him to get a handle on it.

That's what I'm saying, with the music, the animation, just a recipe for awesomeness; studio Bones at their peak.

As a manga reader, what's your opinion on the manga so far?

Yes, class B needs more of the spotlight, except for that psychotic blonde dude lol.

That's good to hear, especially knowing we have 25 episodes this season.

I wouldn't say he's the worst lol

For sure they definitely know how to draw an audience and keep them entertained. One of my favorite things so far about the show is there's never really a lack of substance. No fillers, just all packed episodes with intense plots I love it.

The more I think about it I start to get excited and want to just read it🤣

I'm excited to see more of Class B, more specifically I'm hyped to see Shinso's development. As much as I can't to see others, he's becoming a personal favorite.
