Episode 21 of MHA Season 5
Was not that bad
Weighing the episode overall, I was pretty satisfied with the Toga content while noticing where Season 5 lacked
Impact
Some character art and bland backgrounds make some of the impact that the scene tried to display dull
Music good tho
By re-reading the chapters before the episode, I ound it was okay but I noticed some scenes' art looked good but the rest felt flat (scene 3 has more detailed background guy tho)
Everyone talked about the Shigaraki scene but I will say the scene distortion was a good effect
The first ten minutes or less were definitely not impressive
Minus the Meta-Liberation Army backstory, which was good, the start felt a lil boring plus the fight with the Deika citizens barely had any punch
The episode picks up much later but it still has issues
In Toga's backstory
Some storyboarding choices were pretty good (red bird scene)
I love the painting-like feel they gave for that Curious and Toga shot, just like in the manga
Also the voice-acting helps convey why Toga refused to "give in" to Curious
She was happy the way she is
This was the best part of the episode, though I do admit the part where To-chaco was moving through people, animation good but art was a lil meh (wish the last shot stayed and had more impact) but I liked it
The falling and floating stuff was pretty fun
So, within expectation
To end this
I really had fun with Geten vs Dabi
The way the ice moved around was enjoyable even if it was brief
Toga's scene had better music
Uhm...in general this episode was a mixed bag but I kinda like the good it was able to do
Just wish the impact was there in some places
