The original trailer for My Hero Academia season 7, which received a significant response from fans on X (formerly Twitter) has been deleted, but the negative views on the animation quality are still prevalent on social media. Fans are particularly critical of the animation quality based on the two-minute trailer. This criticism is not surprising given the controversy surrounding the simultaneous production of the franchise's fourth film and the seventh season of the anime series. Similar issues arose with the fifth season and the third film, leading to animation quality that some even described as "wooden."

@RukasuMHA’s unwavering criticism is a troubling sign, especially considering that leakers are usually the most optimistic voices in the series’ community due to their love for the show. Although there is still hope that the trailer is not an accurate reflection of the seventh season, it appears that history is destined to repeat itself.

Not surprisingly, fans are asserting that the greatest shortcomings of the My Hero Academia season 7 trailer are the still and background shots. They specifically point to these scenes as lacking the "impact and gravitas" that earlier seasons of the series had in abundance. Some are even going so far as to claim that Studio Bones will never reach the peak of the series' first three seasons.

Meanwhile, some argue that the fourth movie suggests history is repeating itself, raising questions about whether Bones has learned from the mistakes of season 5. There are even suggestions that the series is moving too quickly, resulting in subpar animation and products overall.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am deeply disappointed with the trailer for My Hero Academia season 7. The animation quality looks subpar, and the still and background shots lack the impact and gravitas of earlier seasons. It's disheartening to see that Studio Bones is seemingly repeating the mistakes of season 5, which suffered from poor animation due to the simultaneous production of the third film. I can't help but feel that the series is moving too quickly, resulting in a decline in overall quality.

I understand that producing an anime series is a complex and time-consuming process, but it's frustrating to see a beloved series like My Hero Academia suffer from these issues. I hope that Studio Bones will take the time to address these concerns and deliver a season that lives up to the high standards set by the first three seasons.
