I wouldn't call myself a fan of this anime, but it got me hooked on the screen for the first 4 seasons. Nice characters, unique abilities and their personal struggle. Now this is the stuff that I like and love. It reminded me of Naruto, how each character was unique in terms of their abilities and their motivations. I might say its inspired by Naruto, perhaps too inspired. Because while the ability and fighting in early seasons were beautiful, everything boils down to nothing? A big Nothing.
I dont use the word Hate easily, but I kinda hated the entirety of the final season of this anime. The show sidelined everything it worked on from seasons 1 to 5. And basically turned it into a half-baked copy of The Avengers: Endgame climax. The show even picked the Iconic portal scene and the hero assemble stuff. And copied it as it is. I cannot imagine the betrayal a true MHA fan might have felt at the last season. It was totally offbeat and a mess. Yes, these are the words I am using: offbeat and Mess.
Because there was a rhythm in the MHA from the beginning. It starts slow, season 1 was basically an introduction to the world, Season 2 had the best villain and story, I say, Stain was written to connect. Imagine a character so impactful that the world shifted by the ideology. The villain was weak, but you know what I am going to write a fullblown post about him later. Moving on to Season 3, the characters showed gaining more muscle and fighting power-ups. Also gave us a glimpse of the menacing villains. Next, the season also served us with a cold, calculating villain; Overhaul dude kinda carried the entire season for me. Because he seemed to be the centre point, and everyone was just reacting to his terrifying presence.
And from that point onward, it was just downhill. I did enjoy the Endevour redemption arc and the whole spy thing by Hawks, but that's about it. The whole paranormal liberation war was something like forced, and dont get me started on the dark deku mode. It was totally disconnected from me. I think the writer was trying to show how the darkness affected the hero character, and it changes him from instead. Like something similar to “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” But it misfired, I guess. And honestly, by this time, I think the roster for the heroes and villains was too long to keep track.
And the final nail in the coffin was the Final season. I am finding it hard to explain my anger and disappointment is the anime. I mean the show which gave us villains like Stain, Overhaul, OneForAll gave us some hatemass or something. Basically, a physical manifestation of the hate inside the villains body, and that the villain is a good guy consumed by hatred, that's all. I mean, what crap it is. Characters we loved were sidelined. Most of the episodes were either inner talk or motivational talk, And there is still some good left in the villain nonsense. Yaar at this point, I think I'd better watch HunterxHunter or FMA again for the 4th time.
