Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season (My Hero Academia Season 3)

As summer arrives for the students at UA Academy, each of these superheroes-in-training puts in their best efforts to become renowned heroes. They head off to a forest training camp run by UA's pro heroes, where the students face one another in battle and go through dangerous tests, improving their abilities and pushing past their limits. However, their school trip is suddenly turned upside down when the League of Villains arrives, invading the camp with a mission to capture one of the students.

Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season follows Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, an ambitious student training to achieve his dream of becoming a hero similar to his role model—All Might. Being one of the students caught up amidst the chaos of the villain attack, Deku must take a stand with his classmates and fight for their survival.

Before this, I would recommend reading my reviews of the first two seasons of Boku no Hero Academia. Many details that explain my opinion on this series in a broader sense are already covered there.

This season picks up where the previous season left off, with the students preparing to go to an inevitably doomed summer training camp. The plot takes a much darker tone this season, with The League of Villains newly-emboldened by Stain's actions in season 2, and full of fresh faces. The first arc of this season gives the new villains a chance to show off what they're made of, and set up ...

Mixed Feelings

Have you ever liked an anime's characters so much you wished they got out of the dreadful story they are involved in?

Well, BNHA is this case.

Why does a season 2 or a season 3 always get more praise than season 1? That's because people who already saw the awful plot already dropped the series and the only ones remaining are the ones who praise it a lot.

But why do i keep watching it even though i almost gave Season 1 a 5? Well, because people told me Season 2 was a "masterpiece". I decided to give it another chance and I was not ... disappointed. Midoriya's plot armor had disappeared for a time being and the anime focused on other great characters (such as Todoroki and Ochako).

As a matter of fact, I decided to give Season 3 a go. Season 3 is the worst season of BNHA, and it's not hard to know why (spoilers ahead):

1) Plot armor. Midoriya once again defeats a strong enemy (who nobody cares for btw) using an asspull power-up. All Might defeats the most powerful of all enemies by just talking and a Smash, ugh.

2) Filler episodes. They stretched the whole License Exam arc, one of the worst arcs out there. Playing dodgeball? Ugh. Rescuing people? Ugh. The worst of all filler episodes was the mystery episode. Midoriya solved the case just himself, which takes me to the other point:

3) Midoriya. He is becoming the Kirito of BNHA. He solves cases, always saves his classmates, girls love him, boys praise him. even the teachers always speak about him "he's the heart of the team". And what even bothers me most, is that Midoriya can't stop crying. He has to cry 2 times each episode. It doesn't feel emotional at all, it feels horribly forced. When Bakugo cried, it felt real. Midoriya is just crying and crying for everything. He is the worst character in this series.

4)Arcs and villians. Have you noticed how we are moving in a full circle? That's because this story is not going anywhere. We get a "training arc", then an "exam arc", then the villians appear out of nowhere with no special reason and we get the "Villian team arc". Then, a bad guy (nobu, stain, All for one) appears and the pro heroes have to defeat him with the help of the students. Then we go to the starting line. I don't think that after 50+ episodes, some students have only figured this much of how to use their quirks. For example, the acid girl now just uses her hands to shoot at larger distances. Midoriya only figured that he has legs, Bakugo now shoots an explosive beam. We are going nowhere if you think they are progressing.

5)Filler characters. Each 2-3 episodes, we are introduced to great new characters. These characters are designed perfectly. They are great, i am not kidding. The guy who can manipulate his skin? Great! The gale guy? Amazing! What's the problem? They are only introduced with the sole purpose of giving one fight and never ever appearing again. They even introduce us "The Great Three"; i am sure they will get disposed once this arc ends.
---------------

But not everything is bad about BNHA, I mean, i love its characters (except mineta, the tail guy and the sugar guy). The animation is superb, the fights are amazing too. The music is meh. But I am seriously considering to stop watching this after too many Deku-focused episodes, too many filler and it's horrible writing.

Well, I have been told "Overhaul" arc is super dark and i cannot miss it. Maybe I can give S4 a go, but if it dissappoints me, I can assure you I won't hestitate in dropping this series.

(SPOILER WARNING FOR HUNTER X HUNTER, FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, AND NARUTO + SHIPPUDEN)

Season 3 is bad. It's the point where you finally realize that all the potential the earlier seasons flashed was no more than just that: unrealized potential. And all the problems with the writing weren’t blips, they become a constant problem that deflates the tension and drama in every arc.

Every time Deku we’re told Deku is risking his body only for him to be fine after a day in the hospital, every time a villain is hyped up only for them to lose while barely accomplishing anything, every time stakes are established and then ...
