The Japanese crew behind "My Hero Academia" sat down with Anime News Network to discuss the success of the series and what's to come. When the question came to Kenji Nagasaki about how he feels about the hiatus between seasons and whether he finds it helpful, the director was very forthcoming with his feelings.
"There's a break so that we can take time to work on this show and not lower the bar," Nagasaki said. "That's one of the reasons why there's a break between the seasons — so that we can take what we learned from the first season and make it better." Since this interview was conducted after the first season aired, it seems fans would likely agree that this approach has made the show better over the years.
"We have that time to adjust and assess what we've learned from the first season and make it better for the second season," Nagasaki said. While some "My Hero Academia" fans agree Season 5 was the worst, with Season 6 firing on all cylinders, the series has never been more exciting. Furthermore, with the end of the manga near, according to Kohei Horikoshi (via Anime Geek), things are likely to get more exciting moving forward.
