Finally got around to finishing Book 23 "Decisive Battle" last night. It was a good chapter, but I was pretty much expecting everything to happen already based off of hints the other books had given. There's one secret, which was the full identity of one of the older characters. All in all, I liked it. Though at the same time, I wish there was more anguish. If that makes sense.

Not much for me this season at first glance. Going to keep watching MHA naturally, but I'm 6 episodes into Fate and I'm losing interest in it. Glad to see Isekai Quartet back and and I'll watch the Re: Zero director's cut in prep for season 2.
Somali seems good so far. Wholesome, but it's definitely setting itself up for a sad or at least bittersweet ending.
Crunchyroll apparently has a 1 week delay on Madoka, so I've only seen the first episode. Not a bad start, but it's going to be hard to live up to the original.
Nothing else catches my eye, so maybe I'll look for something older to watch.

I'll be watching Haikyuu!, but I think I might wait til the end of its season and just binge it, I am sure it will be great like all the rest. Isekai Quartet will be great!
I'm also (( wondering! )) what MHA will do, the manga is 2-3 arcs ahead now, and I can't see a Season 5 being all that interesting at all, some cool shit happens, but nothing at all like All Might vs. All for One, or Deku vs. Overhaul. A Season 6 though? Should be badass.

And as of now, I've just completed the final issue in this series. Book 24 "Conclusion". It's a very quick read. Maybe 2 hours total. And it's also nothing at all like any of the previous chapters. The series pretty much ends with book 23. Then 24 just gives "this also happened later on". So there are still plenty of questions with no answers. All in all, I liked the style they were playing at with this chapter. I didn't quite understand the point of the new character though. And I'm still lost for "what happens next??", but I guess this story follows real life in that regard. Once something happens, there's no additional news. It's purely speculation. It was a very good series. I'm glad I read it. Eventually I'll try one of the officially published books and see if it's different at all from the light novel books that I just completed. Oh well. I greatly enjoyed this story. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't recall the manga exactly, but the anime took some artistic liberties with that fight. We see Deku destroy the giant body that Overhaul had merged himself into, yet at the end of the episode 76 and the beginning of 77 we see that body fully intact still. Also, as far as I remember, during that fight Overhaul had at least one hand at the "start" any use of his power.

is 20-23 hard to get through? i'm getting bored, it was a good read on the plane, but now i'm finding it difficult to keep interested, for reference it's when zanobar goes home.

Book 20 was a slow book. Very slow. Realistically, you could probably jump ahead to the battle chapters and not miss anything. Just a little back story, but it doesn't effect the outcome at all.
21 is also mostly slow, but it turns into my favorite book of the series. It also reminds everyone about Zenith. And we learn a bit about her, though it's never touched on again. If you muscle though 20, you're smooth sailing for the last few issues, which are great. The final issue is really fast. It felt like it was 75-100 pages total.
Anyway, fight though it. Everything will pay off in the end. And you only have a little more to keep going, if you've already done up to 19.
