I'll preface this review with the fact that no, this isn't going to be a positive review and no, I didn't like this season.

With that out of the way, feel free to scroll down and downvote because you don't agree with my opinion.

Story: 3/10 I found the story and plot development of this season to be remarkably unremarkable, especially the school festival arc. I will admit, however, that Chisake is quite an interesting villain and I enjoyed his arc. It's quite tragic that one of the most interesting villains in a while is now just stuck in prison, where all we have now villain-wise is Sasuke and his band of misfits. The final fight with Chisake was pretty meh as well, in my opinion, Eri just healing Deku, or rather, reversing his body in time, is quite an ass pull. It's on par with the ass pulls you'd find in shounens such as JoJo, like Star Platinum suddenly becoming the same stand as Dio's or Giorno just immediately getting god-like invincible powers. It's just cheap to build a villain up, give him great power, and then just finish him off with the protagonist getting sudden invincible power to defeat him. It's just bad, boring, and uninteresting story telling to do so. Does that mean it's not enjoyable? Of course not, it's entertaining, but is it good? No, absolutely not, but again that's just my opinion.

Pertaining to the school festival arc, I found it to be horrendously boring, to the point where I had to force myself to watch it. Gentle Criminal is an enjoyable villain and character, but his writing is laughably bad in my opinion. His goal was what, to infiltrate the school and go viral? It's beyond lame and they could've given him greater aspirations and greater evil plots, but no, his most evil grand scheme? Infiltrating a high school. Wow, so daring, so adventurous, so evil. It's eye roll inducing how mediocre the school festival arc was. Before you say or think it, yes, I know Gentle Criminal is a foil to Deku and that he's a representation of what Deku could've been had he not gotten his power from All Might. Even with that said, I still think this season was mediocre.

Characters: 2/10

Like many other reviewers have pointed out, this show has a problem with having too many characters in one show. What's more, is that they keep adding more and more every season. Four seasons in, and most of the characters don't even have a smidgen of character development, we don't know anything about most of them!

There's no background or development for:

• Ochako, she's just a cardboard stand-in love interest for Deku
• Bakugou, he's just Sasuke, but with no backstory and is as annoying as OG Naruto saying believe it. God I hate this character, literally all he is, is just loud, annoying, and obnoxious anger.
• Tsuyu Asui
• Momo
• Mineta
• Mina
• Denki
• Hanta
• Mashirao
• Mezou
• Fumikage
• Tooru
• Kouji
• Rikidou
• Aizawa

Even with 88 episodes of development, we know nearly nothing about these characters. They're just cardboard stand-ins for Deku, just a classroom full of nobodies, and don't even get me started on the villains of Sasuke and company, we know less about them than we do about class 1-A! It's terrible writing, and what's worse, is that they keep adding more and more characters. To compare, take a shounen like Naruto, even at episode 88, there was somewhat of a background on nearly every character, even the minor ones like Neji and Hinata. MHA is full to the brim with characters we know nothing about, they just stand there and make the protagonist look good or cheer him on, that's it. In my opinion, that's boring and lackluster writing at it's worst.

Visuals: 7/10

Not much to say, MHA has a huge budget, so the animation is crisp and high quality. With that said, I wasn't stunned or shocked by the visuals, nor was I impressed.

Enjoyment: 2/10

I did not enjoy watching this show, I had to force myself to even complete it. I cannot understand how people rate this show 8-10/10, it's just not as good compared to other shows of similar rating. It doesn't have a background meaning, it doesn't make you think, and it doesn't have a significant story of any kind. It's just cheap shounen action designed to entertain you for the brief time it's on screen. Were the fights entertaining to watch? Sure, but then after those few minutes, what then? It's just boring, especially since the second arc barely had any action in it.

My Hero Academia is a clusterfuck of characters we know nothing about, is overhyped and painfully mainstream, and has absolutely no depth to it at all. It's a mediocre show to watch when you're bored and want to see action, nothing more.
