Bakugo was pretty funny in his seething Rage but this episode established him very well for me as a character.

please cry a bit more cause someone didn't like the episode. current mha is really good and leaves me anxious to find out what's coming next. this episode is reflective of the weakness of the earliest chapters, and it's kinda tough to get past again

the events of the episode could've been compressed a hell of a lot more than they were. we didn't need longish flashbacks of poo poo that happened just last episode for example. i'm not a fan of how the anime is being handled (david pro has spoiled me)

The flashbacks were used well, they were there so that we don't just have characters monologuing with no context, in other words they were used the way flashbacks are supposed to be used.

they were unnecessary, could've squeezed in a bit more of the next chapters instead of wasting a third of the episode on them. flashbacks to poo poo we've already seen in a previous episode suck unless they're really short

There was a two minute recap at the start of the episode and maybe a minute of flashbacks other than that during the episode, you're a baby.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
It's because pretty much everyone who reads/watches MHA wants MORE SIDE CHARACTER TIME. Granted: it really wouldn't fit all that well here, but I think if you just cut down on the flashbacks a little bit to show off more of the other fights it'd be great (though we already got more than the manga, so there *is* that). I do like how we've actually *seen* something out of Satou, though. Too bad he's going to basically disappear for a shitload of chapters after this :v:

I disagree, but we could argue about that for days. However I don't think omitting a two minute recap of the end of the previous episode would have elevated this episode from "Suck" and "Nothing happened".

The only way someone thinks this episode sucks and that nothing happened is if they don't give a poo poo about Midoria's Bakugou's character development and getting introductions to the various side characters.

2 minutes plus the flashbacks of poo poo we saw not 3 episodes ago while midoriya was knocked out. this episode adapted less than one chapter of manga, so yeah, nothing happened and this episode sucked. last episode adapted 2.5 chapters easily and still didn't toss aside anything important.

nah, their development was important, but it was dragged out way too much. like i said, this episode adapted less than a chapter of material. last episode was able to adapt 2.5 chapters and it didn't rush the material. it's obvious they dragged this episode out so they could end this season after the next arc, but it makes this episode suck. but keep on crying because someone has a different opinion on an anime than you.

The pacing could be a hell of a lot better in this thing, but that's pretty much how all direct manga adaptions seem to go. I'd rather they fill all those flashbacks with more fun side character stuff because honestly the cavalcade of minor characters in MHA is my favorite thing about it.

I do dearly like Ashido's pinkieness.

(I remember seeing her in the first color and being like "WHAAAAAT, she's PINK?!" Maybe it wasn't the very first color of her, but it's the first one I remember seeing, and that's what matters to me.)

i wouldn't have minded that. if they replaced the gratuitous flashbacks with extra fight time for the other teams then this episode would probably be better for me

also, jojo part 4 is pretty much a direct adaptation (with a few extra scenes added in) and it manages to adapt quite a few chapters at a time

Ok, Mr. Ace Director, show me how you compress everything in this episode into 4.5 minutes, I say 4.5 minutes because that is how much you would have to compress things to fit 2.5 chapters into this episode.

Also if you can't handle other people arguing with you you should not post.

I feel like that's an unfair comparison, as Jojo moves at a pace that allows you to fit in multiple chapters per episode. MHA sometimes does, sometimes does not.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
There are chapters of MHA where I legitimately think it moves too fast. I'm thankful for a less rushed pace in the anime. Taking it slower just has the unfortunate side effect of it being all about Midoriya and Bakugou for 2/3 of the season, and barely getting to show off the rest of Class A aside from Uraraka and Iida a little bit.
