maybe it doesn't work on sapient beings? like, it'd only half work on dolphins and the like

whether it does or not, kouda does not seem like the type to use it that way. for story/character purposes, it would probably overlap too much with guys like shinso

I listened to this season's soundtrack. Man this series lucked out getting literally everyone it has involved with it. The director is good, the voice cast is good, the character designer is good, the composer is good, the studio in general hasn't really hosed anything up.

I hope they get everyone back for S3 since it looks like we're getting it.

I wish someone would pick this up for TV in America since it deserves more mainstream success but I dunno if it really fits anywhere. CN wouldn't do what they should do and air it in the afternoon and just deal with anyone complaining about the violence/fanservice, it doesn't really fit Adult Swim IMO, and DisneyXD would mutilate it.

It's funny since at least on the comic level My Hero Academia is crushing DC and Marvel right now. But yeah I'd love some more general exposure for the series.

I think his power is literally just communication with animals, not necessarily controlling them. Like, he can ask them to help him and that's it. Maybe it also lets him communicate with humans regardless of whether they speak japanese or not?

Got to watch the episode. Koda's voice is so cute! I like that he's pretty chatty when he actually talks. :3: Also, it might have just been a few seconds but I do appreciate Uraraka showing the results of her remembering the basics of CQC. :v:

Principal Mouse playing the role of cackling villain was the highlight of the episode though.

I thought he wanted them to climb the rooftops and start jumping their way to the exit, with some of the knocked-down rubble acting as a bridge for them to cross gaps between buildings.

Also, Mina has super acid. If she'd done anything except just using it reactively, they would have done a lot better. I dunno what the hell Kaminari could've done, though.

Yeah, their best bet probably would have been using Mina's acid to open up new routes through buildings, and moving through them faster than Nezu could bring the buildings down on top of them.

They were in a big industrial park. Lots of conductive metal around. If they'd ever figured out where Nezu was, Kaminari's electricity might have been useful.

Mina should've Endeavor'd her way to up to high ground, then they could've had a chance at finding and getting to him. Panic is a hell of a thing, though.

Bakagou is such a massive rear end in a top hat. That he'd actually hit Izuku to get him to shut up kind of pushes him out of "likeable jerk" territory and demolishes any admiration I can feel for him. He's pretty much just an abusive prick. I don't care about his will to win, he should not be a hero imo.

(I'm not even sure he should've been allowed to stay at UA after that first training fight but whatevs)

Also holy poo poo LOL that he thinks he can beat All Might, like ever. Fully absorbed One for All Midoriya is going to be able to totally wipe the floor with him.

I loved all of the punched up violence in this episode but the whole Bakugou being knee'd into a building thing was a bit over the top for not doing permanent damage.

The Bakugou puke gutpunch and All Might literally just loving flailing Bakugou into the ground with Midoriya were the highlights.
