The images are from the official Japanese website. Here is a look at the main heroes for the upcoming season:

• Izuku Midoriya
• Katsuki Bakugo
• Shoto Todoroki
• Ochako Uraraka
• Tenya Ida

My Hero Academia Season 6 appears to hint that each of these students will play an important role in the impending war. They've definitely gotten stronger with their training over the last few months.

The original League of Villains was also highlighted in the character visuals for My Hero Academia Season 6:

• Tomura Shigaraki
• Himiko Toga
• Dabi
• Mr. Compress
• Spinner
• Twice

Since defeating the Meta Liberation Army, the infamous villain has undergone a significant makeover. My Hero Academia Season 6 will see him prove himself as the major villain in the series.

Fans didn't care much for these visuals

Needless to say, many Twitter users have voiced their disappointment to the AnimeTV account. It's very telling when barely anybody is hyping the new visuals. Given how long they've been waiting for the new season, fans don't have much to talk about the new promotional materials.

On platforms such as Reddit, the negativity is much more widespread. u/No-Perspective-317 points out the lack of creativity in the latest artwork:

"You could pass this off as the season 3 character visuals and I’d be none the wiser"

Keep in mind that such comments have received hundreds of votes.Indeed, many fans assume these visuals were haphazardly copied and pasted. User u/myl017 adequately describes the general apathy from the fanbase:

"That sure is yet another character visual"

The involvement of Tenya Ida also has people talking, although not in a flattering way. u/Babington67 had this to say about his inclusion in the character visuals:

"Why are they even pretending that Iida is gonna get any screen time?"

For context, Ida hasn't appeared in a storyline since the Hero Killer arc. Since then, he's mostly remained in the background.

Some fans are simply looking forward to new content in the coming months. My Hero Academia Season 6 will hopefully live up to expectations, but these character portraits haven't and most likely won't. Fans will have to wait a little longer.
