Half and Half Bastard isn't bad all things considering Yarou is kind of a weird word, and no legit translators would have gone with "mixed" or anything like that for hanbun. My problem lies with how Bakugo uses it where otherwise I enjoy his charater I hate Bakugo, and nothing that's coming up is going to redeem his character.

Icy Hot kind of only works because it's a Product we know, and you can't really use that outside of fan translations e: look if we hold people's feet to the fire for the things they said in eighth grade at thirteen years old, then what are we doing. Not that it's right at all, but I was told I should just go kill myself in middle school, so seeing Bakugo say that was honestly just a moment of "Yeah kids that age are loving terrible, I feel ya Deku". Which is what makes Bakugo spitting Todoroki's life back at him seem more harsh. Like that's not a kid being a bully, that's you continuing to use language after eavesdropping on him talking about it. Not that this matters since he hasn't said it this season iirc, just a weird moment in Season 2 Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Apr 15, 2018 |

I think one of the FA scanlators took a crack at explaining it at one point, and "Half-rear end" is basically what the intent is because Bakugou is still pissed at Todoroki giving up during their fight at the sports festival.

Nessus posted:Too much weed. This is legit funny. Blaze Dragon posted:It's a lot more obvious in the manga, the anime for some reason gave every girl the same fragile slim body. I guess fanservice or whatever, but it's pretty bad when Horikoshi was always very good at giving the girls realistic proportions for their job. The obligatory twitter post comparing Momo's swimsuit picture from the manga to the anime needs to be posted.

My one complaint of the season finale is we didn't get to see pink acid girl, weird blockhead guy who hung out with the bird, invisible girl, and navel laser guy actually do things And while Orocha did do some stuff, she probably could’ve been shown doing more

Everyone, including Mina (the pink girl, aka: besto garl, oh yeah), get spots as the series go on. Some more than others, made worse by the fact that there are so many characters.

Like, I genuinely feel his best moment was on this very anime episode where he at least got to punch something, which is far more than he does on average, and it wasn't something that appeared in the manga. I still have no idea what Horikoshi was thinking with Sato. The bug guy does very little but at least he stands out from the rest of the cast, Sato has a worse version of the protagonist's quirk and his best defining feature is being a Kinnikuman shout-out.

It's something a lot of anime has done in effect-heavy scenes ever since the Pokemon seizure incident. Blu-rays usually don't have the dimmed screens.

Is Avatar: The Last Airbender worth getting into? It being affiliated with Nickelodeon scares me, and it reminds me too much of Naruto and I hate Naruto (maybe I should give that another chance?). EDIT - It also seems a bit too "kiddy" from what I've seen of this. Yes, I realize how stupid this sounds saying that in this thread and with my avatar. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Apr 16, 2018 |

It takes a little while to hit it's stride, but I think it's worth it. I haven't watched it since it was originally on the air so I don't know how well it's aged. It's definitely children's entertainment, but it's really good children's entertainment. (i suppose you could call it 'all-ages' if you want to feel better about it  )

punk rebel ecks posted:Is Avatar: The Last Airbender worth getting into? I'd say so, but it's worth warning you going in that it takes a while to get to full speed. The first couple episodes feel aimed younger than the series as a whole, and some of the best characters don't show up until the second season. If you stick with it, you get some good character arcs (mainly for Zuko, but other characters too) and somewhat darker subject matter than most kids cartoons (genocide, the consequences of war, child abuse, that kinda thing.) It's at least worth a look.

echoing everyone that Avatar is incredibly good, but the first season is just mostly filled with episodes with Morals of the Week and a lot of jokes aimed at kids, but the amazing stuff still shines through and it literally only gets better. There's still enough early episodes dealing with the burden of responsibility, abuse, loss etc to keep an adult into it if you keep an open mind It's an incredibly well realized world for being a family - early teen show and I've watched again more recently than you might think. I honestly feel fortunate to have seen it as a kid, it was really cool to see then and still is imo. A cool intro to Eastern culture, philosophy and spirituality for being filtered through a Western lens when you're twelve Todoroki is extremely Zuko but Zuko is the best character in that show so it's good i think Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Apr 16, 2018 |

I'd say it's generally good but it has some rough spots (including one of the key plot points of the finale. The main character got handed a never-previously-hinted-at powerup to get him out of a moral dilemma that felt dishonest to begin with.)

ATLA has a weak and very low budget first season and picks up rapidly from there. Korra has high budget throughout and is very pretty all around with its early 20th century China aesthetic but the first two seasons are bad and compensated by the last two seasons being amazing. Both blow the majority of shounen anime out of the water.

I feel that this was a clear demonstration of Bakugo being a shithead but he has been on a clear anti-shithead arc since then, even if he has a long way to go. I'm pretty sure the author said he regrets having Bakugou tell Deku to kill himself because it colors his character in a way that he didn't intend. Bakugou is supposed to be cocky, rude, and mildly antagonistic, but not evil as that line would indicate. You can toss some of it away as middle schoolers being pricks, but it definitely gives you a much worse view of Bakugou starting out.
