From what I can tell, a general rule of thumb is if any girl that isn't Toga gets a big fight scene in the anime, it's probably filler.

Well, that's really disappointing. MHA does a lot more things right than a lot of other mainstream action anime, so I hope it improves on that front.

at least toga is fantastic

I wish they added some filler at the start of the invasion. Show how they took the guy down the first time. I feel there was plenty of room there.

Then they could still have the guy gain a second wind after his drugs kick in and cause them to fall down like usual.

Now that I know her power it seems kinda lame, less creative than what the boys have, and also I'm not sure how effective it is?

So she uses her life force to shoot laser spirals? Does that mean her power is slowly killing her? And the power she's getting out of it doesn't seem terribly effective against "a really big dude." I don't get it, what sets her apart from the normal students at UA and puts her on level with "horrifying shapeshifting chimera monstrosity" and "real life speedrunning glitches?" Really disappointing unless they give her a big show off fight later

as said earlier, it uses stamina instead of life force, and in a world where flight is a semi-rare ability she's basically an aerial artillery platform

it's not as varied or adaptable as amajiki's or togata's quirks, but it doesn't really need to be when she can just blow you the gently caress up from a safe vantage point

There's significantly more wrong with that fight than just it's animation, but I suppose part of that has the source material to blame.

I kind of liked the source material until a little before that point. But eventually every fight became one sided a blowout always in favor of one side or the other next to no inbetween. Even that terrible fight shows a bit of it. It's utterly one sided for one of them, until it's suddenly one sided for the other guy.

I'd also emphasize that, even beyond the quality of the studios in question, the kind of production schedule those tweets describe is utter dogshit - bad even by the anime industry's generally low standards. Time and talent - not money - are generally the most critical resources for a successful production, and the best studios in the business would struggle to go from nothing to putting together a full season of quality shounen in that kind of timeframe.

Her power is "being a Dragon Ball Z character minus the super strength". Her shots against Rikiya were weaker than average because he'd literally just gotten done draining her of the same vitality she uses to power them. Despite that she was still able to fly and fight. Also, do recall she dropped those giants without breaking a sweat early in the season.

If the show had framed that as a heroic struggle and the meager efforts we saw existing at all as a testament to her abilities, that'd have been pretty cool

It felt a little more like "oh you wanted to know what the girl does? Uhhhhh she shoots lasers I guess OK LETS GET BACK TO WHAT THE BOYS WERE DOING QUICK"

Yeah, this. It didn't even register in my mind that she was the girl from the Big 3, or that she was flying. Just "uh-oh? okay? and we're moving on".

No one ever accused the show (or manga) of doing a good job of properly framing Nejire's feats. Just pointing out that they're present.

Related to this, it felt weird when Nighteye said the girls were too spent to help Deku. It was actually true, since they all had their stamina drained, but he didn't know that. He just saw three girls with no visible battle damage and said "nawww"

i accused it of doing a poor job of displaying what makes her special and conveying that she is on the same level as the other "big 3" members

obviously it's present in the text that she is, because they outright state it by including her alongside them

I've been thinking how the existence of Night Eye's quirk means the MHA world is deterministic making free will meaningless, and the having the power to break Night Eyes future might make Eri the only person with true free will on the whole planet.

I mean do we have confirmation that it was Eri that changed the future? It could have just been Heroic Spirit and Resolve.

eri having time powers being the thing that changes the future would feel less stupid than nighteye repeatedly saying "the future can't be changed, i've tested it over and over and over again and i've never been able to change it" only for the main character to change it anyway through the power of believing hard enough

since neither is confirmed as true or false i suppose the argument could be made that they're equally likely, but i want to believe that this story is good

It’s possible that the future is constantly changing until Nighteye observes it and thus it becomes a fixated knowledge requiring another time based quirk to change it. This Nighteye’s Power is deterministic but the world itself is not.

Adder Moray
Nov 18, 2010
Nighteye himself says that he can deviate from the future he sees but eventually it gets back on track. I doubt reality weighs the importance of individual actions. The fact he can do *anything* differently than what he sees is evidence the future can be changed. He was just unable to change it to any significant degree on his own.

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

is there a quote for that? i thought it was along the lines of "no matter what i try, reality alters course to the future i see." as in, if he sees himself dropping his favorite coffee mug, he can try to avoid going near his coffee mug as much as possible but somehow fate will align such that it ends up in his hand and he drops it at some point. between the film reel visual and how much the story has had him hammering home "no, the future can't loving change" as a dramatic circumstance, it sure would be kinda rear end if it pulled the ol' "nighteye just never tried hard enough, unlike our plucky hero deku" deal.

it'd also seriously undercut the tragedy of him seeing his hero's death and i'd really dislike that because i thought that was one of the better parts of this arc

From the anime:

"Even if I act completely differently from the future I saw it ends up returning to what I saw as if balancing accounts."

The manga version is narration instead of him saying it himself:

"The future he sees cannot be changed. He's tried many times in the past. No matter how desperately he tried to steer away the future he glimpsed, with enough time, like a balance sheet governing the universe, things would always return to their natural flow. It would just be as if he inserted some extra scenes. But the ending never changed. Could it be that the very act of seeing someone else's future locked them into that fate? Ever since he saw "The Death of All Might," he decided he would no longer read people's futures. He would only look a second into the future, and respond accordingly."
