Speaking of which, how important is the movie in the timeline of the show? I haven't seen it and have no idea if it's required viewing or not.

It's a fun movie, but pretty much everything in it is set up in the movie, played out in the movie and resolved in the movie. Maybe some character could be brought over later, but the plot is very self-contained.

Just as warning/FYI to anime only folks: From what I've seen of the trailers, Heroes Rising, the upcoming movie, will have quite a few spoilers for the manga up to and including the most recent story arc.

Anime-only fans are going to be spoiled by the second movie, since it apparently takes place further down the timeline than Season 4 and incorporates elements from Hori's originally-planned ending for the series

Wonder what that's gonna do to sales

The new intro song is pretty decent.
Edit: For a filler episode I think this was noticably better than the season 3 poolside episode. At least it's focused on the main point of the show.

I liked camera dude.
It's weird as hell that UA would just allow some guy to go around filming poo poo though.

New OP is fine, but not as good as the first 2 seasons.
The ending is great though.

If you're gonna have a clip episode, that's the way to do it, I guess. Camera man was wholesome. I wish they'd go with an edgier song for an OP just once, I like most of them but they're all just so poppy and light, this one especially so.

It might've been filler but I really liked how they used the reporter to show just how important All Might was. Cheering crowds and being told that he's the Symbol of Peace is one thing, but hearing how he saved that guy's dad when he was a kid and thinking about just how many people must have similar stories does a far better job of selling how big those shoes are for Deku to fill.

Fantastic episode as far as recaps go. It did a great job reintroducing us to the world and it's characters, and setting the tone for the rest of the season.

The new OP has a great song but feels weirdly disjointed and unfinished in the visuals IMO, which is a little disappointing. New ED loving owns tho.

OP felt like it was aping one of the older ones a lot. Also, in both OP and ED, much concentrating on a character we’ve not yet been introduced to.

That works. They cram out amazing openings. Shame the test is so utterly mediocre.

I mean, Bones has put out some of the best, most iconic openings ever, too. Like almost every FMA and FMA:B opening?

Honestly the weirdest thing is just the music choice. Feels like they animate these things first and are just given whatever pop rock song is newest at the time the show comes out and they just make it work.

Sorry, "Again" it's still the OP for me. Still good after 10 years.

Golden Time Lover has the better song but the visuals of Period are more amazing.

I love that every OP for this show is somehow a void, I can't remember a single one.

anyway Again is my fav FMAB OP, but none are bad. The bit of Gluttony landing on the vent Ed and Envy are on still impresses me today. And the bit of Lust coming out of Envy's mouth still confuses me
