Hero Academia Season 2 Episode 1

Okay, let's talk My Hero Academia. Season 2, Episode 1, "That's the Idea, Ochaco." I know, I know, everyone loves it. But I have some *thoughts*.

The Sports Festival Hype Train Leaves the Station!

The episode is mainly setup, right? Get ready for the *Sports Festival*. Everyone's excited, buzzing like bees near a honey pot.

We see Class 1-A prepping. They are nervous, but *determined*. You know the drill.

Ochaco Steals the Show (Sort Of)

The title's all about Ochaco. She's declaring her intentions, getting serious about being a hero. Good for her!

But honestly? It felt…forced. Like the show was screaming, "PAY ATTENTION TO OCHACO!"

I mean, I get it. She needs development. But the sudden shift felt a little clunky.

Bakugo: Still Angry, Still Bakugo

Of course, Bakugo is still the angriest Pomeranian in anime history. He's declaring war on everyone. Naturally.

Honestly, I'm more entertained by his explosions than his actual dialogue. It's pure catharsis.

Did we expect anything less from him? The boy's a walking, talking stick of dynamite.

The Real MVP: The Animation!

Okay, unpopular opinion time: The *animation* is the *real* star of this episode. The colors are vibrant, the movements are fluid. It's gorgeous!

Seriously, the visuals are top-notch. It almost distracts you from the slightly-slower pacing.

Studio Bones, you’ve outdone yourselves! Bravo!

The Unpopular Opinion: It's... Just Okay?

Alright, deep breaths. I’m saying it: This episode is… just okay. Not bad, not amazing. Just… *meh*.

Don't get me wrong, MHA is awesome. But this felt like a bit of a slow burn.

Maybe it's the hype talking. Maybe I just expected more. Anyone else feel this way?

The Sports Festival Predictions!

But hey, the episode sets up the Sports Festival! So, what are my predictions?

Midoriya will obviously do something impressive. He always does. Plot armor, am I right?

Bakugo will probably win a round or two before getting humbled. He needs a good dose of reality.

Ochaco will surprise everyone. I'm calling it now. Girl's got potential.

Final Thoughts: Hype Intensifies!

Despite my "meh" feelings, I'm still ridiculously hyped for the rest of the season. Bring on the action!

The *Sports Festival* arc is iconic for a reason. I know it'll be great.

So, yeah. Maybe I'm being too critical. But hey, that's what opinions are for! What did *you* think of the episode?
