I don't watch that much anime these days, but two whole episodes of filler with (I assume) essentially none in the main episodes is downright amazing compared to what I'm used to. Filler episodes are far better than stretching out canon ones with garbage.

Naruto having totally different production circumstances (entirely related to how Pierrot adapts things, see Black Clover) really has nothing to do with what Bones is doing here. there's no real reason any of this filler had to exist, since it's a difference of the anime being a handful of chapters further than it currently is. notably, they could've even taken a holiday break this week. imo people should be free to have criticism of these badly written episodes without weird minimizing posts like this, especially since the criticism isn't even close to overwhelming this thread.

Also I know "filler" has become the go-to bad word for anime original content but it still feels weird in this case where if they had not done the special episode, the anime would have skipped a week, so it's not really "filling" anything.

Also, the movie trailer actually played on Toonami last night, which is kinda weird because the trailer has a shot of AfO in it and Toonami's just gotten to season 2, but I guess it's fine since there's no context to him.

I don't really watch anime except for the really good ones like jojo eva cowboy bebop etc. This show has quality close to those so I held it to a higher standard. If its gonna go the usual mass produced weeb trash route from here on out well the all might fight was a perfect climax to end on

I don't suppose anywhere is going to be streaming the movie, huh? Because it's definitely not airing in any cinemas in Europe from what I can see and I'm guessing we'll never get a DVD/Bluray release

I was lumping in the special with the "What were Weird arms and Frogbert doing during the exam?" ep which was also not great so it seemed more succinct to just call them both filler.

If anything his portrayal in this ep was too accurate...I don't think Bakugo is a very good character. Also the problem this ep had was that it felt way too safe in how it was written. The group was Deku, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Iieda and Bakugo because those are the "default" group, and people love Tsuyu. She literally did nothing in this episode, just like the last filler episode, so it's annoying that the writers haven't at least tried to focus on less important characters.

Bakugo would be a fun character if the show didn't try and paint him as Deku's rival. The way it's framed feels very much written out of obligation, and I don't really think Bakugo has "earned" his spot as rival since he straight up does not seem to care at all about being a hero. He just wants to fight bad guys, that's all. I realize that his character early on is something the writer regrets going so far in on, because he straight up is just a terrible person with no redeeming qualities, and he has recently at least admitted Deku has gotten stronger, but the way the show has tried to make me think the two are on an even footing just doesn't work for me. A character that has earned his place as rival would be Todoroki.

This filler didn't need all those characters, it felt like they just picked the fan favourites to hang around. OK episode tho, and better than nothing.

This was actually the correct call in that situation, as the disaster victims themselves noted. Bakugo's attitude kinda stinks but he's a very good hero otherwise. His "mistake" was pretty similar to deku's mistake upon meeting survivors. Bakugo is very good at recognizing when being brash is actually the correct call. Tbh even in this episode I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't blow up in his face, which it shouldn't because bakugo is actually pretty smart, though it'd have been nice to see him have reasoning for it beyond "the guy is close to the window" It's a pretty good foil to deku, who's MO is "way overthink things."

Look at him when he was kidnapped. He ran his mouth, but he made sure before he took action that he was legally in the clear. Bakugo's temper is on a hair trigger, but he knows how to analyze situations and take the appropriate action... usually. For the obvious example, the victims he told to gently caress off and save themselves were in good enough shape to do just that. It was excellent snap triage analysis... only his bad attitude meant that it didn't go over well. Him wanting to just burst in and kick rear end is right, but normally he'd be bursting in and kicking rear end with a solid plan accounting for half a dozen contingencies... that still looked like a rabid lunatic launching a billion explosions in every direction.

No Bakugo pretty much wants to be a hero more then pretty much anyone in that class. And he has redeeming qualities. He's just angry so you don't see them much.

Re: Deku probably being hardcore into shipping: he has around 14 different journals analyzing different heroes and people with powerful quirks. He absolutely also has stuff like "Seen constantly with Mt. Lady. Maybe romantic???" written in Kamui Woods section and the like

And he didn't hesitate to pass some of his grenades to kaminari when he knew he was getting taken down by the lumps of flesh dude. and he made sure to pay kirishima back for the night vision goggles.

Well, first off, you are wrong. This is a consumptive media, these people make money on these things, they aren't things they can elect not to do. Secondly, I do believe people are right to criticize things, but "it sucks" isn't especially interesting criticism to listen to, even if it is from just one or two people.

I kinda liked the episode. Yeah it was real simple but like... that's filler. It's still an interesting kind of way to look at a hero class, with an appropriately funny twist, if a bit of a dick move. I just kinda wish Deku had been wrong, he's got like all the way through this story and everyone's weeping and it's just "Nope."
