Fights in previous seasons felt like clever or unforeseen applications of power or technique that were snappy and didn't drag. This season feels like an endless series of grimaced reaffirmation of principles until 21 minutes are up.

They haven't really gone all out with the animation in a fight yet this season

This arc dragged in the manga, most likely because Horikoshi was very ill at the time. I was hoping the animation would be able to spice it up a bit, but honestly it's still dragging for me.

I heard that they're splitting focus between the season and the movie which could be why the animation has been pretty lacking (Nighteye vs Overhaul was half speedlines ffs). Next episode should have some crazy sakuga.

mirio carried the previous episode really loving hard and neither midoriya or nighteye stepped up to the plate this time around

I haven't read the manga and I feel like this arc is good but I also noticed that the fights (apart from the one Mirio fight) aren't as impactful

What's odd is at the beginning of this season they seemed to be really zooming along and folks were speculating that they might get all the way through both this arc and the next one in one go. Startin' to not look that way now. (Too bad, too, because the next arc is one of my faves.) This most recent episode is the worst because, really, everything that happens takes place over maybe three minutes of real time, punctuated by tons of slow-motion and flashbacks.

The drag still isn't as bad as modern One Piece anime, but yeah, at times you can really tell that this was written when Horikoshi was as close as he's ever come to phoning it in (while he tried to not die).

I think he also later said the Overhaul arc was a lot darker than he originally wanted/planned and that made it tough for him to wanna work on it

It's a little weird to me how conservative this season's been, especially visually tbh. I heard a lot in the runup to this season about how much better the team's production schedule was this time than it was for like Season 3, and while it's kinda showing in some regards - the story boards and character art are probably as good as the show's had so far - they really haven't even attempted anything as dynamic and ambitious in terms of flowing animation as, like, Deku vs Muscular, let alone any of the show's more famous highlights.

chiasaur11 posted:Wasn't Deku yanking jagged chunks of rock out of his arm this last episode? I don't think it's as bad as what he's suffered before since the main problem he's had was breaking all his bones to the point where his hand is permanently disfigured. While those rocks will likely leave some nice big holes in his arms I don't think he'll be worried about being paralyzed so long as the bones are fine.

Feel like the anime's missed a chance to show the girls doing something while the boys are rescuing Eri, which was something a lot of manga readers were hoping the anime would fix (Having not watched the latest episode, for all I know the preview could have shown exactly that...?)

Really the only question I have left about this arc is "if deku gets hit by the quirk erasing bullets, does one for all die or does the can't be stolen property negate the bullet"

If they get the drop on him I guess that's an issue but like, all might can kill people by punching in their direction from a couple blocks away Early in the show deku weaponized all might power flicking Once he can flick without breaking his bones it's going to start getting a little convoluted how any not-all-for-one villain is going to pose a reasonable threat

Punching badguys is great and all, but Deku still has to learn to save every civilian from being merked. A full powered Deku is limited by collateral damage more than anything else.

Plenty of characters have powers that could kill a lot of people, what makes them stand out in the show's perspective is that they don't use their powers to kill. Sure Deku could kill someone with a finger flick, not much different to Shigaraki, but he wouldn't cause he's a hero and that's what matters in MHA.

it's actually more powerful than shigaraki, as the shockwave of the flick has an enormous amount of power behind it. deku can kill people at range with his flicks by the time his body can utilize that level of power, he'll be able to control it just fine, as that's what he's working on right now. there's plenty of moral dilemmas and "can you be everywhere at the same time" scenarios that can be posed, but pretty soon deku will no longer be stopped by any limitation revolving around "can i beat this guy in a fight." all might already exists as a textual promise that one day, deku will cease to face physical obstacles, and he doesn't need to be at all might's level to completely trivialize, oh, just about every quirk user we've seen thus far that isn't all for one. or, to maybe focus the point back a bit, deku's physical limitations and inability to properly harness or control his power are the entirety of what makes him interesting to see in an action sequence. and the entire story is about him overcoming the very thing that makes him interesting to watch, bringing us to: Oxxidation posted:it's surprising how much less compelling midoriya's character becomes when he's not exploding his skeleton in every fight i want to see if the show can find an answer to this problem, because from what i can see it's certainly a problem

The problem is Deku is a boring character. He's a nice lad! But his character flaw is that bullshit answer you say in interviews, "I try a little too hard..."

I appreciate that he has self esteem issues and a complex relationship with his peers and who he respects and why he respects them (i.e. his relationship with bakugo, which personally I find pretty compelling) Not much of that has come into play this arc past the initial meeting with nighteye
