This review is full of spoilers so go ahead at your own risk. The anime of My Hero Academia season 5 is over and already a few people are muttering about how the sixth season will be adapted. I personally believe that since the MVA arc was concluded in season 5 the sixth season will finally bring the entire Paranormal Liberation War arc. What Im sorry to say is that this season has been a disappointment of an adaptation. I am a lover of the series in fact I caught up with the manga and it is one of my favorites on the list but although that I have not been able to appreciate this season. The first part of the series which is the one dedicated to the joint training arc was extended as long as possible the episodes lasted a lot half of them were summaries and they felt like fillers. Then I dont understand why but bones decided to mix the Villain Academia arc with the Endeavor training arc a fatal mistake which after about 16 episodes of Joint Training arc was left neglected. I can understand that it was important to develop all the characters in order to ensure a more solid future for the series but to do that they created something beyond boring ended up developing too much unnecessary characters and neglecting the MVA arc. Long story short what we saw was a my villain academia arc that has been badly adapted overlooked and in some parts skipped due to bad adaptation pacing. We have been more than patient and during the series I have done nothing but repeat to myself now comes the best when in reality nothing good has arrived because when it really came it was either neglected or postponed. Whats positive about this season is as always from bones a beautiful and stunning animation that constantly pulls up the series a great cast for the dub of the scenes which I remember improving a lot of the part where Deku gets his Black whip and listenable ost leaving out the openings that are more based on personal tastes. 400https://64.media.tumblr.com/fb333ecb5104ff7e9c7a89b9ce162ac6/408111f16176e2b4ab/s1280x1920/d2d8de33cbb36103491c3a75f37ccf532482df6b.png 400https://media.comicbook.com/2021/05/myheroacademiablackwhip12702441280x0.jpeg https://64.media.tumblr.com/12bcddd542f2fe4220386c47339603bc/ae4adeb91ed726505c/s540x810/a6a60f4039e5d2faad1646bcd8bb525266c5def5.gifv The only time this season really surprised me was when Shigaraki had his backstory and his awakening. It felt well adapted no censoring really good ost and dub and as always a great animation. Those two episodes really hit me and were the best episode in this season. But that wasnt enough to fill the precedent mistakes. https://files.catbox.moe/mup1sr.gif https://i.ur.com/jGBfQR7.png https://i.ur.com/DcW05Pb.png Beyond that the season has been a disappointment for many of BNHAs fans a feltrushed experience that actually ruined the manga and certainly has given a critical hit to anyone who wasnt a fan of the series. Personally I hope people who didnt like this season will take a look at season six as well because if they adapt it how it needs to be it will definitely be the peak of BNHA. I highly recommend to those who want to see a better version of what happened this season to read the manga because it is definetely more fluent and paced better than this.
