Speaking of which, I was just thinking that it's weird we built up Danger Sense so much as a power All Might refused to tell Izuku about given how it's failed to be important so far.

I thought it was more so about the 4th dying at an early age as opposed to his Quirk. Like, All Might’s dad sense kicked in or something

Yeah, it was this. The thing about Danger Sense was all just speculation on our end based on how we thought it might work and how someone like Deku would react. Turns out our boy doesn't need a Ubisoft minimap to burn himself out.

To be fair, Danger Sense was probably how he found most of the crime he fought while he was out on his own.

Well, MVA has finally started in the anime. They took the laziest path possible re: changing the opening sequence (the title card briefly changes to "My Villain Academia") and for whatever reason they cut the first couple of scenes of Ch 220 which establish the LoV as being dirt poor and lacking direction, just scraping by from day to day.

Did they have anyone from the LoV take over the opening and preview narration or is it still Deku?

They didn't have opening narration. Preview narration was still Deku.

A weekly anime being unambitious isn't surprising, sadly. Too bad they left an easy homerun on the table.

Those first couple of scenes also includes the LoV taking out the Quirk supremist. It feels weird they cut out anything considering how they had to stretch out this season.

It also means we lost out on valuable Spinner content and I'm mad about it! :mad:

Lmao, they finally arrived at the best material in like three years, so of course, they start it by loving up the introduction. Honestly, as someone who loved MHA anime for basically all past seasons, this season is doing its best to change my opinion.

The loving audacity to pad the Joint Training out to an entire cour and then when you finally get to what people signed on to this season for, you start cutting poo poo. Y'all, you had time, you wasted it.

This has actually greatly upset me. The intro to the Meta Liberation Army was great and they skipped it. Heck despite calling this episode My Villain Academia they skipped all the events of that chapter.

I mean technically they already hosed that up because it was technically introduced in the Endeavor arc.

Like all the stuff they cut is actually kind of important for context and provides more important character building than any of the poo poo they padded out Joint Training for. They've really just hosed the anime up and it sucks.

Ochako using her gravity powers to shout from the top of UA's building reminds me of that scene from the Incredibles where Helen stretches herself taller while arguing with Bob.

Since Kota is there, I hope he meets Eri and they start a Deku fan club.
IIRC, Eri is actually older than Kota, and I find the thought of him following her lead very funny for some reason.

it’s especially annoying because so many of the anime’s shortcomings are due to its budget being redirected into those braindead movies

like, one is fine, but do you really need an annual release of a movie that’s essentially a 90-minute explosion? we already have the MCU for that

No there is no room for lots of the stuff they cut. And a lot of it was just little moments in this episode. Like they did not just make big cuts, they made lots of smaller cuts as well.

They padded out Endeavor Agency as well. Episode 17 of season 3 covered a single chapter.
