I got choked up when they played a more tender version of the intro over Todoroki's flashback with his mom.

Deku saving Bakugo and Uraraka gets me everytime, he's so brave I wanna die :kimchi:

I'm also a big fan of the titular track, it plays when All Might shows up and rescues Aizawa

Not just the hero themes either, the theme used for when Shigaraki invades the USJ or the Nomus attacking the city last ep with the chanting and sitar is rad as hell too

Yeah, it works best with anime. I think the Goku Kao Ken v Freiza is my favorite, but the fact that it kinda works for Spiderman (and I really don't like the Tobey Maguire spidey movies) is what really surprises me. Live action even.

:shrug: it makes a meh scene kinda exciting. That counts as "working" to me. It makes everything better.

It works if you see it as Spiderman giving it his 100% and going beyond to save a bunch of people like some kind of hero.

Rewatching the dub and in the first episode Bakugo says Deku will never get into U.A. without a Quirk and Deku responds "they actually rescinded that rule in recent times". It probably isn't but I hope that was a little nod that they did it because All Might himself was originally born without a Quirk.

Yeah I mean what the gently caress, the train scene and the followup up to when the kids give him his mask back is probably one of the best bits of any superhero movie made

The scene is good, the music tacked on just isn't adding anything to it (because obviously the scene wasn't made to sync up with it, not because the music is bad).

I have to wonder if Midoriya / Deku was at least partially inspired by Rock Lee from Naruto.

Say what you will about Naruto, its definitely flawed, but lots of people have fond memories of that early test arc and in particular the Gaara v Rock Lee fight is generally considered one of the best in the show.

When you look at Deku's abilities and character, he's basically Rock Lee taken from a supporting role and made into the main protagonist.

...heck this has probably come up earlier in the thread eh?

Lots of My Hero Academia seems heavily inspired by other popular anime or even lifted wholesale, but somehow it all comes together in a really great way and still feels pretty unique; maybe because of the western influences.

...Probably because a lot of those character concepts go back a lot further than x anime, so of course the same tropes will come up over and over.

Hell, given Deku's both extremely analytical and was flat out given his powers because of his heroic spirit, rather than just "trained really hard," he's a lot more similar to characters in the vein of Captain America than literally any character in Naruto.

Oh man, that episode was great. Seeing Deku in action with Full Cowl was amazing, and the stuff with Todoroki was really good. Stain is a really interesting villain, he injured Iida not just physically, but ideologically, and TBH I think he really needs that if he's going to live up to the image of his brother that he has in his head.

Great episode, it's really satisfying seeing Deku's movements in animated form. It's weird how this series is allowed to show more blood and violence than Dragon Ball Super.

It sucks the dub is dropping to a two week delay but on the other hand most dubs are years behind so I'm still very happy with it.

character designs in this manga good.

I don't like Stain's look but that's kinda the whiole point, Spawn Todd McFarlane lookin rear end

I like Todoroki's new outfit a lot more than his last one because it looked super unfinished compared to really everyone else's, though his new one is just a little generic
