Uraraka is still a 16 year old girl. Of all the things that have started to annoy the fuck out of me about Horikoshi's writing, the way Toga's story wrapped up felt fine to me. I just can't stand Toga simps.

Toga is weird because her ability puts her wherever she wants to be on the hot/crazy scale. It also prompts a lot of questions. If you were having sex and she turned into you and made you give her a reacharound, would it be gay or masturbation with a marathon of convoluted steps?

It starts amazing. Then gets really bad, then it ramps up to greatness again.

I wouldn't call season 5 bad, it's more of a pause to catch your breath and a reminder that these are goddamn high school kids and working as child soldiers in a life and death war is not normal.

Gachiakuta, Wild Boss lady, OPM, Towa no Yugure, Hero without a class, and Punch Princess are the only shows I really want to watch as soon as they come out. I had a hard time finishing the previous season of MHA and Spy Family, so I need to finish them before I start those. There's a few fillers and some I haven't watched yet but already a good season with what I've mentioned.

western tv and movies are so terrible, i got the wife to watch an anime. I haven't' really payed attention to japanamtion since the early 2000's and prior to that, it was just everyone we knew had like six VHS tapes between us with some very old anime on it. so i'm out of the loop by about a quarter century. My favorate series was olde macross stuff.
anyway the wife liked death note. i think she's receptive to animes where the characters are shaped like normal people and don't spaz out so much. I THINK she wouldn't like wacky anime attacks nearly as much as quasi realistic stuff going on. I thought i may see if she wants to watch full metal alchemist next? i hear folks like that?
Is it better to watch full metal alchemist or FMA brotherhood first? i know the second thing is a remake of the first, but is it of stand-alone quality? i thought about seeing if she would want to watch evangelion.
is there newer stuff she may like? i saw folks say they liked chain saw man?
we don't watch a lot of shows and (the entire west) has been putting out such garbage i figured we could cherry pick some anime she'd like.

Regarding FMA & Brotherhood, they tell "almost" the same story. At least it's the same for 75%. But then they caught up to the Manga (much like Game of Thrones didn't have a book to follow for the last 2 seasons). Brotherhood was released after the manga was finished, so it gave a "complete" unaltered story. I personally prefer normal FMA, but that's because it's the series I saw first. Other people prefer more accurate Brotherhood.
So in closing, you don't have to watch one to watch the other. Both series are standalone. They made Brotherhood to overwrite what the anime director decided to do with the end of the series.
Keep in mind if you watch Brotherhood, there's a movie called The Sacred Star of Milos that takes place right after the final episode.

Additionally, there's a much shorter series you "may' like.
Inuyashiki: Last Hero. It's a show about people getting replaced by aliens.. kinda. People get hurt or die and the aliens replace the damaged parts with high tech computer robotics. Then these changed people battle one another for... reasons? It's different. The main character is this old grandfather guy.
