Watching MHA

sleepysaurSo I got through My Hero Academia season 2 recently, and I'm thinking about it a bit before I move on to season 3.
It is certainly an example of a show where "it gets better" applies. Not that it was BAD early on, exactly, but it took a while for it to get really good. It wasn't something where I was all, "oh boy I have GOT to watch the next episode!" for a long time. It took me a while to just get through season 1. I got more interested when we hit the sports festival, and the hype grew from there.
Character-wise... Midoriya is a great protag and I love him. I also really like Iida, and I've been pretty sure for a while that if I got into shipping for this fandom I'd be shipping those two. It's not one of the juggernaut ships, but after looking at AO3 it seems popular enough. I really like Tsu too. She's not as major a character so the show delivering a good story about her internship was a nice surprise. And of course I love All Might. How can you not love All Might?
I unfortunately got a bit spoiled on season 3. I have a pretty good idea of what's coming. I'm sad because I would have liked to see something like that 100% spoiler-free. Getting spoiled on this when I did made aspects of late season 2 very interesting to think about, especially regarding some of Bakugo's words and actions... but I'd rather this be stuff I'd pick up on during a rewatch, not the first time around. Sigh. Too late for that, unfortunately.
