Right, in order:

The Froppy fight had some good back and forth, established some minor stakes with Shinso's part (also making him look more like a threat for when Deku would have to deal with him), and built to a fun final.
Momo's fight sucked.
Todoroki's fight had some moments, but mostly it was just there.
Bakugo's fight was just a blitz of Bakugo being the best.
And Deku's fight had actual plot and Uraraka kicking absurd amounts of rear end, so it was good.

Basically, we've got 60 percent good, 20 percent eh, and 20 percent bad. It's just discussion focuses on the bad.

If the anime speeds things up, it should be better. But... we did also say that about the Overhaul arc.

Deku's fight was great because Uraraka and Mina got to be awesome in it. Uraraka destroyed 3/5 members of B's team, was a better stealth attacker than Hagakura, and instantly figured out how to help stop Deku's rampage, while Mina got to use Mineta as a projectile weapon(the role he was born for) and ended the match with a sickass shoryuken.

Tbh there were still a bunch of cool things in the Momo fight. Kendo was a straight up chad, 1-B's quirks were all interesting and used in neat ways, we got Hawks and Tokoyami forming a Whole Bird and then the ridiculous way Tokoyami can fly was amazing.

It's really that except for Tokoyami the rest of 1-A's team all sucked super loving hard and Hori tries to play up Momo even though Kendo crushed her physically and mentally.

See, I appreciate the fights mostly because it shows that 1-B have some really cool and unique quirks, given that we really only knew Neito's, Kendo's, Testu's, Ibara's and Honenuki's beforehand.

Oh, and the guy who put Momo's tracker on that Noumu in the camp training arc.

Even then Deku and Bakugou were mostly just background characters during the Endeavor Internships in favor of more Todoroki family drama. We haven't even seen them since this operation started, and they're all in the one location where none of the known villains are, so who knows what they'll actually do when we eventually cut back to them.

I think the froppy fight used the onomatopoeia "froppy froppy" for her hopping, which is pretty good.

The fights are often the least interesting point of MHA.

Which is why Vigilantes is better than the main series. :colbert:

If they are going to make more MHA movies, I'd rather they adapt Vigilantes into movie format, albeit with Bones' Animation B-Team and keep the good directors/animators for the main series, because I imagine with a movie budget, they could give us something on par with the main series without making the main series suffer

Grind, you poor fool!
Grind straight for the stars!
The rule seems to be that the more harmless an animal the more powerful the quirk, so he’d probably start crushing buildings with his mind.

So uhh, I'm just catching up on the Twitter over coffee this morning so I haven't seen it yet but definitely check out today's episode of the anime. Bones absolutely animated the Endeavor fight for the finale of season 4. Nakamura got a cut too:

There's also a preview for season 5 which was pretty cool:

Anime thread is already getting into the old "I can't believe they redeemed Endeavor" arguments we had around this time, only they'll have to wait a whole year or whatever for the next season to show that no, he still has a lot of work to do.

God, the entire story of the anime thread has been going through the same arguments we had but a year later.

I wish this season had gotten just one more episode though, they probably could have fit all of the aftermath of the fight in it.

Curious how they follow this up with the usual first episode recap next season.

Hi!
I sort of expected them to just end the season on Dabi walking up to Endeavor or Hawks and Dabi standing together being all chummy, just to fuel speculation and leave people off with a cliff hanger. It could've boosted manga sales or something.
But I suppose they wanted to avoid that. Especially the Dabi thing is a bit anti-climatic, given how everyone expects them to reveal some connection already.

If it was up to me I'd make the start of season recap episode centered around Tokoyamis time at Hawks office. He was specifically invited there because Hawks wanted info on his classmates and it'd make a good framing device for a recap episode. It'd be canonical for once as well.

I think the end-of-episode preview of Deku dreaming about OFA is sufficient as a hook for next season.

My only concern is that this might really through off the pacing of the first (non-recap) episode of next season. They'll have to go back in time and do the Dabi thing, then go forward in time to the dream and replay it with all the stuff they left out. And somewhere in there they have to fit in SLUUUUUURP.
