Man, go check out All Might vs USJ Hood in the manga and then look at it in the anime.People need to get the idea out of their heads that seasons 1 through 3 had the best animation.
I can see you making that argument for maybe season two, and only because of one or two episodes, but season 1 didn't even have that many fight scenes, let alone the level of quality from older seasons. Seasons 4, 5, and 6 all blow these older seasons out of the water, or at the very least, compete with them on even ground.
Again, happy to provide examples from later seasons. There is merit to what I'm saying here.
The anime literally made up half the fight. It's the most added content we have ever gotten in the series and frankly if Deku vs Shigaraki had gotten that treatment, I don't think a single soul would be complaining.
Season 2 was stellar and has basically never been replicated. Animation-wise, it was the most consistent season without any of the 3 arcs getting shortchanged.
Season 3 had fights like Deku vs Muscular, Tokoyami's rampage, All Might vs AFO, and Deku vs Bakugo (still one of the best animated fights in the series).
And while the License arc was a letdown, that's mostly cause it was the same in the manga. Otherwise moments like Deku dodging countless attacks from different schools, Jirou or Shindo's earthquakes, or even Shoto and Inasa vs Gang Orca were all well animated.
Heck, even the filler fight between Shoto and that ninja school looked cool as hell.
People hate on season 3 cause of License arc but the licence arc itself was not badly animated. The animation was still great especially compared to PLF War animation.
