My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 19 English Dub

Okay, let's talk about My Hero Academia Season 5, Episode 19 in English dub. Confession time: I might have a slightly unpopular opinion. Deep breaths everyone!

The Joint Training Continues!

Remember the joint training exercise? Yeah, that's where this episode hangs out. We see Class 1-A and Class 1-B duking it out. Quirks are flying everywhere. It's a chaotic and colorful mess, and honestly, I kinda love it.

There are some really impressive moments in this episode. We see characters pushing themselves. They're developing their quirks in creative ways. It's the kind of stuff that makes My Hero Academia so enjoyable.

Shinso's Time to Shine

But let's be real, the real star of the show (in my humble opinion) is Shinso. He's trying to prove himself worthy of transferring into the hero course. And he's giving it everything he's got!

I've always been a huge Shinso fan. His quirk, Brainwashing, is so cool. But he needs support equipment and training to truly shine. Seeing him strategize and overcome challenges? Chef's kiss!

Now, here comes the unpopular part: I actually preferred Shinso's scenes to the main event fights. Don't get me wrong, the battles are cool. But Shinso's struggle just felt more compelling to me. Anyone else feel the same?

The English Dub: Hits and Misses?

The English dub is… well, it's an English dub. Some voices really nail the characters. Others take a little getting used to. It's a mixed bag, right?

I think the voice actor for Shinso does a pretty good job. They capture his slightly cynical and determined personality. Other characters? Eh, jury's still out. But overall, the dub is watchable.

But honestly, is it just me, or is the dialogue sometimes a little… clunky? I find myself wishing for more natural-sounding conversations. Maybe it's just the translation, but some lines feel a bit forced. Don't @ me!

The Animation: Good, Not Great

The animation in this episode is solid. It's not the most visually stunning episode of the series. But it gets the job done. The fight scenes are clear and easy to follow.

The character designs are consistent, which is always a plus. We get some nice close-ups of characters using their quirks. Overall, the animation is good, not groundbreaking. I wouldn’t call it a highlight of the episode, though.

My Final (Possibly Controversial) Thoughts

So, here's the thing. I think this episode is… fine. It's not the best episode of My Hero Academia. But it's not the worst either. It's kind of… middle-of-the-road. Am I the only one?

The pacing feels a little off at times. We spend a lot of time on certain fights. Other characters barely get any screen time. I wish there was a better balance.

But look, I still enjoy watching My Hero Academia. Even if some episodes are better than others. I'm invested in the characters and the overall story. And I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next.

And honestly, Shinso alone makes this episode worth watching. Give this guy a hero license already! He deserves it. This is my hill and I'm dying on it!

So, what do you think? Am I completely off base? Do you love this episode? Hate it? Let me know! Let's start a (friendly) debate!
