MHA S5 Episode 22: Sad Man's Parade
Now we have a well-directed episode
The simplistic backgrounds or bad art are lessened and we got more animation
What dominates the episode is Twice's voice acting
You could really feel his struggle all around up until he lets loose later
On the animation
I think CGI Doubles works here somewhat and it is not overused or bad
It was fine
This episode also has a more dynamic camera
Also the early part of the Re-Destro fight was fun to watch
The fact Shiggy and the rest were Doubles in the Tower was easy to track too
Some nice details here
So far, the anime depicts Stress quite well, especially as we see the dark marks envelop Re-Destro's body
Oh and I love how Geten maxed out his ice to take down all the Twices
And I am glad we hear Rampaging Evil more here
The OG theme for the League
Now for some plot points
So Trumpet's line is reminiscent of Syndrome's "When everyone's super, no one will be"
Which quite aligns with MHA's themes of how the terms have become categories that define Quirk usage, which Re-Destro talks more about with Shiggy in the Tower
Geten's pride in having gotten stronger also reveals how the Meta-Liberation Army's seemingly egalitarian goal of making Quirks free to use will lead to a return of the chaos that caused people to fear them
A master class will form and Geten would benefit from a predatory system
The way Shigaraki despises the Army's manipulation kinda adds to how the "liberated" are just part of a cult and not really free
What they intend is a system of dominance over a majority to create a class of better equipped, without acknowledging the hypocrisy of their ideology
