It’s pretty easy to see whyMy Hero Academia: Final Season’s episode count would be disappointing. Fans were, naturally, hoping for something big forMy Hero Academia’s final season, so if it’s going to end up with even fewer episodes than season 1, then it feels like that point won’t be properly conveyed.
Another point is howthe ending ofMy Hero Academiawas controversial because of how rushed it was and for its general lack of closure; the anime provided a perfect chance to fix that, but with it having so few episodes, it will likely just be a straightforward adaptation of the manga, meaning the biggest issues might not be addressed.
Why My Hero Academia: Final Season Will Be Great, Despite Its Low Episode Count
Fans Shouldn’t Give Up On My Hero Academia
All that aside, there are plenty of reasons whyMy Hero Academia: Final Seasonwill still be exciting. For starters, as shown in the latest trailer for the anime,My Hero Academia: Final Seasonis poised to boast some of the best action, animation, and writing of the entire series, so no matter what, it should be fun to watch.
