Yes, the one big criticism is the fact that Bakugo's character development (for the better) has taken a long time to come and while you can understand what's driving him, he's still a major asshole about everything. However, they have finally begin to make him at least better overall while still being the hard ass character but they are having him roll his eyes at stuff he went crazy about before Somewhat following the Vegeta model except he's an angry teenager I'm on episode 11 now and... yeah, he's Vegeta/Ichiro Miyata (continuing my Hajime no Ippo parallelism) type character: very prideful, very talented, hot headed and when faced by a weaker protagonist who wants to surpass him is forced to face his own feelings on the situation. Only he doesn't struck a friendship like Miyata nor does he acknowledge the protagonist as one to be respected like Vegeta, making him an asshole pretty much. But yeah, plenty of cool characters and some interesting powers too. But the real question is: is invisible girl really naked? Cause if so, Eraser Head's quirk can be... yeah... You can throw Sasuke in their as well as probably a closer comparison since he's actually tried to kill Naruto due to his inferiority complex which is def what Bakugo has Also invisible girl does have some type of invisible clothing I believe besides the gloves and boots. She might be invisible but is still affected by the weather

She might be invisible but is still affected by the weather Yeah, but Sasuke actually acknowledged Naruto (and later flashbacks basically confirm they considered each other as friends on a more loose sense). Maybe not as his equal at the beginning but he did know him and acknowledged that he was like him, albeit not as good. He only developed his complex at the Chuunin exam tournament finals after he witnessed Naruto using Kyuubi's power. Before that he was just the cocky talented rival with lots of brooding. Bakudou basically hates Deku cause he couldn't do anything like he did and his pride hates being pittied, especially by someone he considered inferior. Sasuke can talk about the "pride of the Uchiha" all he wanted, but he was always quick to accept help from others, especially Naruto at the beginning.

I need to catch up, but I got tired of the girls not getting major plot stuff to do and I couldn't stand Bakugou.

I’ll watch it as it goes. Is it ordinary? (Sorry I actually have no idea what you guys are talking about. Just saw the thread title and thought I’d make the joke. I’ll grab my coat.)

Sasuke can talk about the "pride of the Uchiha" all he wanted, but he was always quick to accept help from others, especially Naruto at the beginning. Right but Sasuke also grew to hate Naruto though deep down he knew they were alike. He was willing to kill him to attain power while Naruto was willing to be killed and kill Sasuke as well to stop his rampage and showed he had a friend Bakugo and Midoriya started out as friends but once he got powers and Deku didn’t is where the divide happened. Bakugo I believe has stated he hates Deku eyes or something like that because even when he started treating him badly as a kid, Midoriya offered him a helping hand when he fell in water and Bakogu was mad someone like him would offer help to a someone as talented as himself. In the end as we stated already Bakogu is basically the rival character ala Vegeta and Sasuke except Bakogu was even more of an asshole and it is only until recently (possible spoiler if you haven’t read manga) that he’s starting to let down his guard and actually help Midoriya as more of a helpful manner since despite his manic faults he is very smart and talented

The girls need to get some more plot important things to do, since for most part they're stuck on a support role, more or less, or don't get as much attention during the big fights.

Also invisible girl does have some type of invisible clothing I believe besides the gloves and boots. She might be invisible but is still affected by the weather Don't think she has any, since during the practice fight at the first season she was affected by Todoroki freezing (and later heating) the building. That said, it would make sense that she should have clothing to work with her quirk. As I recall, Mirio's clothing is made from his hair so that it won't fall away from him when he activates his quirk, so perhaps the same idea could be done for her. As for Eraserhead's quirk on Tooru; it could be that her quirk is those physical types, which can't be erased by Eraserhead's quirk. It doesn't seem that she can turn it off... though maybe she doesn't turn it off in front of others, even when she's fully clothed.

I always thought she had a type of invisible clothing made but only wore the boots and gloves so she would have some trait for people to recognize her a hero I need to catch up, but I got tired of the girls not getting major plot stuff to do and I couldn't stand Bakugou. True. The girls need to get some more plot important things to do, since for most part they're stuck on a support role, more or less, or don't get as much attention during the big fights. They've had their moments like with Ucacho against Bakugo and or Momo getting her confidence back against Eraserhead but they haven't had that hard fought life changing battle yet which should be coming soon Naruto never really capitalized on Sakura after her fight with Sasori but with this they have the ability to make them matter and they should. What's going to be interesting somewhere down the line is how they deal with the death of one their classmates whether it be male or female. With the fights now in the serious territory and they all are unofficial heros now, it stands to think that at some point the villains will get an upper hand.

Yeah, you said it better than me. {Spoiler}The girls haven't had that moment where they had to fight someone like Stain or Overhaul. Closest one was against Toga, and Ochaco and Tsuyu helping out during that one fight with Overhaul's men, but it's not as fleshed out as the bigger fights. It could be trickier, since the 1-A girls doesn't have crazy powerful direct combat quirk like Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki. I mean, Tsuyu, Jirou, and Mina have combat oriented quirks, but not to the destructive extent of those guys.
Just my gut feeling, but I think a death in the class is still far away, or a few arcs away. A teacher will probably die first before that.

Also, apparently, Season 3's first episode will mostly be a recap. Bummer. Hoping that it'll show the OP at least.

Shoto is sort of my dark horse for that and obviously All Might has been given every major red flag available. With Nighteye being sort of their first big death and Mirio losing his quirk, they are def starting to turn up the heat a bit
In regards to the women, I do think at some point their will be a big battle where they have to fight Himiko as she is the one main female antagonist. She is obsessed with Midoriya and was friendly with Ochaco so I can see her psychotic nature coming into play with that at some point.

One thing, could be an interesting discussion. Endeavor? Redeemable? Or pretty much a higher grade asshole than Bakugo? {Spoiler}Recent chapters show that he might possibly be on the path to some amount of redemption, though at the same time his treatment of his wife makes it very hard.

I think his one track mind to be the best as given him a decent character but he's also a massive asshole for the way he treated his wife and son. I think because he couldn't get the number one spot "fairly" by being better than All Might. I wouldn't be surprised if they start introducing a villain with some type of hypnosis and use Endeavor anger against him but at this point I think there's some really good story left to tell with his and Shoto relationship and mending it.

I just stumbled across this video about Mineta and his role in the MHA story that I thought was an interesting take.

He's comic relief, though I understand how he can be grating to some people.

Episode one of season 3 is up on the FunimationNow app.
It is mostly a recap episode, but there is some plot progression, as well.
The OP:
Like Peace Sign, I think I may be a bigger fan of the sequence itself than the song it’s set to.
Some absolutely gorgeous animation, and some hefty foreshadowing.

Peace Sign is my favorite OP, though the third ED I probably like a little bit more, or at least a tie. This one has some nice animation, like it a lot more than Peace Sign, though the vocals is okay but might take some getting used to. {Spoiler}So much good stuff in that OP that I want to see the whole anime now. Deku going all Super Saiyan against Muscular, and especially All Might facing off against All for One. Shiragaki walking towards the screen with the Noumu's behind him also looked awesome. Minor, but the bit at the start with All Might and the previous holder of One for All was also neat. And regarding the contents of the OP {Spoiler}Might not be the case, but I guess the training camp and rescue arc will more or less cover the first half of this season.

Finally got around to watching this OP
The song will get some taking used to though I wish they kind of kept the melancholy route like they did for the 3rd OP last year
Their was some nice animation as usual though the OP was fairly tame as far as how much foreshadowing they came out with which is good
