Anyone else just not feeling hyped for this season?

1497

I used to feel so hyped for MHA, Season 3 was the first seasonal anime I watched weekly. After that, I read the manga and when Season 4 came out, I was still pretty hyped even though I knew what was gonna happen. This season is gonna be adapting some great stuff, but I just don't feel very excited for some reason. Anyone else feel this way? Any idea why?

Same, when I watched season 3 and 4 of MHA I was hyped af but for some reason season 5 isn't hyping me up as high as the other seasons.

  Idk why but this is the only anime that gets me confused as of its arcs, like, I can't tell you the chronology of the arcs whereas I enjoyed the show pretty much (bought the mangas too) I really don't know why. But I'm pretty excited to see the manga getting adapted, as what is coming is really good

Indeed, too early to give an opinion, but perhaps generating a lot of expectation ends up having the opposite effect, especially when you already know the content. I suggest to get away of the series for a while and come back when more episodes are available.

I am very hyped, but some people just lose hype for series over time. It just depends, but maybe try watch the next two or three episodes and see how you feel?

For me, it went downhill after season 2. Season 3 and 4 were really boring.

Its different for everyone! I have been excited for s3, s4 and now s5. The excitement kindoff never left me. (I have also read the whole manga till now). I love this show, and I dont get tired of it I guess? :p

I’m really just excited for the later arcs of the manga (my villain academia and the war arc) I think the 1A vs 1B arc is fine, but I’m not all that hyped for it. Just excited to get to the later stuff.

once the action starts you'll probably start feeling hyped every week again

season 4 was my fave season so im really excited for this season
Beazt 5y
S4 was below my expectations so I’m not hype for this one

the only anime I'm kinda hyped for rn is 86 but I think that its bc the winter season was so stacked compared to spring this year

I havent felt hype for a mha season since season 3 dropped the ball

I mean the main reason to watch the show or read the manga is for the hype scenes, like the combat and stuff. That's the whole real drive for the series. It's a bunch of cheap and lazy setup just for most of it to be disposed, but at least it built up to a short cool moment that people will remember, and forget the rest of the plot except those key cool moments. that's the series, that's the format it follows, and that's how it will continue until it's mediocre death.

  I think that really depends on your investment and perspective of the series' plot and its characters. The less invested you are, the less those big moments and twists are going to impact you, thus making the setup feel weak and only used for cheap thrills. That can be applied to to all Shounen and even other genres as well. When an action scene or death of a certain character occurs and you lost investment in the series, that scene will feel cheap to them. It's all just a matter of perspective.

My theory is that there is like a hype limit and everyone spent all of their hype with AOT and other anime this winter season so you will get hyped eventually.

  this
  i havent watched anime in months and i cant wait binging mha s5!!
  enderkiller4000 5y

I'm so uninterested, I let it play in english dub on a miniplayer as I do something else.

this whole season is just a distraction for S6 ur not ready
- Nozarashi 5y
  The War arc is gonna be so good, I think I will be pretty hype for that.
thotbatrol 5y
after united states of smash i kinda stopped caring about this show
ThePipingPlover 5y
Never read manga. Super SUPER hype for it of course. But then today came and I didn't feel like watching. But when I watch it, I was like "aw damn, this is nice". It's odd. Like I almost did my homework... But got distracted by walking around.... I feel like there was less advertisement and hypers for this season in particular
rrristarte 5y
Me but for season 4.
killug6nist 5y
same :/ idk why
drago428 5y
Because season5 first cour isn't that good tbh , after that it's gonna be all hype
Removed 5y
Same here. I was so hyped for S3 and S4. It's prolly cause of the AoT hype, i just can't get excited for any other show until AoT is finished.

I lost so much hype for MHA during season 4 because the overhaul arc felt boring.

I'm still surprised people aren't burned out of capeshit.
jeargerist 5y
well the first ep was basically a filler ep if im not mistaken. too early to say for sure but as more gets animated hopefully you feel more excitement!
- 39teeth 5y
  yea its a real good start to a show when the first episode is filler
39teeth 5y
cos mha has just become stale... well the anime at least. I really enjoy the manga but have never liked the anime
mangotajin 5y
meh not just you. but in my case when I read the chapters it was gonna cover, I almost dropped the manga since those parts were really boring to me
fracture 5y
i guess it's different for everyone because im really hyped for this season lol
