Hahahaha! OMG seriously! I feel like I've been crying over this show for years lol! They're doing so awesome with the fight, and All Might using all the students' abilities is just amazing!!! It was so well thought out! Stain jumping in was crazy!!! The Aoyama stuff has got me sweating! And YES I was so happy to really see her this time! I know, that lyric callback was so nice! AHHH we're all gonna drown in our own tears aren't we!!!

2025-10-11 13:27:44 +0000 UTC*insert Breaking Bad “He can’t keep getting away with it” GIF* They’re seriously going to make me cry every episode three seasons in a row aren’t they? 😭 I’m so freaking happy that they showed all of the All Might vs AfO fight from before the cliffhanger again. I’d said at the end last time that I NEEDED the full fight in one season and they delivered. But also, MY GOD! The inspiration All Might took from the whole class but especially Deku with how insanely thought out all of this was is crazy to watch. And Stain jumping in to help was so freaking hype through the tears! Aoyama finally acclimating to his Quirk on his “last day as a UA student” is so great but so sad. And we got a full look at Hagakure this time! I didn’t even see the band name in the OP cause of the tears, but the second I heard “the day has come” I knew and was so freaking happy. I was really hoping they’d do something like this. I’m not surviving this season, they’re looking to tear out everyone’s hearts! 😭

2025-10-11 02:53:32 +0000 UTCI originally found your youtube through MHA way back in the day! I can't believe we've come so far. And yes, the opening is sung by the same band that did the very first mha opening! Even the lyrics "the day has come" are borrowed from that first opening!

2025-10-07 17:22:05 +0000 UTCAnd the begining of the final season is here, oh boy, it really feel like the end of an era. I remember reading the manga in scantard when it was still only in japan (we where at the first festival at that time), saying that I'm sure that it will have an anime, I didn't know what phenomen the serie would become at that time, but I had a hunch and now... even the anime will end... So yeah, even if I wasn't here for your first MHA reaction, I also have some strong connection to it too ^^. Now, about the episode, I just want to applaud Hiroshi Kamiya, who does a wonderful job to sound even younger while interpreting young AfO, because you can really feel that he is younger by his voice alone and that not an easy task.

2025-10-05 14:28:42 +0000 UTCTwo drops in one day? That’s unusually quick these days. I don’t read the manga for this, but even I can tell you’re probably going to be a blubbering mess this season - even if there really isn’t something to worry about. (I honestly don’t know.) - It wasn’t the only reason but it was on the list of why I really wanted you to keep doing SxF as a reaction - it can be used as a recovery tool. XD Btw - you’re not using Crunchyroll this time? The subtitles are a lot smaller which might make it difficult for some people, especially on mobile devices. Well, I noticed the first half of the episode was all stuff we saw at the end of the last season. I have to wonder if they’re trying to fill some time. I can’t confirm this at the moment, but someone said 11 episodes. All Might using the kids’ powers is rather poetic seeing as he’s the one who inspired them - he keeps reiterating that even if his light goes out it’ll be carried on by someone else. But you know, the same thing happened to him as well, at some point he got inspired by another person. So it’s cyclical. First thing I think of when I see the flower guy is “Maomao succumbed to madness…” - but that’s creepy I thought flowers were supposed to be pretty. Aoyama and Hakagure seem to have this strange connection with each other - I wouldn’t be surprised if people ship them ( it is MHA after all), but something about his light makes her visible. Of course the problem here is that she’s running around naked, so when she freaks in front of Aoyama, he’s kind of put in a no win situation. One time is an occurrence, twice leads to questions - such as is there any way you can take advantage of this information? Hm, the season is back. Yet, we got through the entire episode without one in-story shot of Deku. Huh. I suppose we’ll get there eventually. In the meantime, I do think Aoyama is expecting to be expelled after all this, which is why he said those things. Also, Nighteye did say that All Might had a very bad future ahead… It’s mostly just action shots so there isn’t really a whole lot left to analyze. Just guess we say “welcome back” and buckle the seat belts. Also, SOMEONE who shall remain nameless probably needs to fill a unicorn. 👀
