Blockhouse posted:Oh hey, Overhaul's done. Now I can start watching this show again. I just hope that if we have another season after this that there isn't another movie eating up Bones' staff during production. Again, everything has looked alright since the scheduling was good but we've had very few legit good cuts this season.

Highway Attack scene wasn't perfect, but hell I enjoyed it. It was almost as good as it could've been. I'd be fine with them paring back on gore a bit if they left the bits of Spinner's characterisation in. Odd thing to just drop.Mulderman posted:I think they did. The faster pacing was a real help here. Not saying much when the only way to truly capture the feel of the manga would to be just not put out an episode every other week, release a couple unfinished and then make like a third of the episodes in the second half about 10 minutes long.

The equivalent of the manga pacing would've been to use 2 whole cours to do Overhaul but have two weeks randomly where there were no episode and one that was all animatics.

Honestly what the anime made me realize was that the back half of this arc takes place in a slightly abstract poorly lit hallway with generic industrial pipe textures on the walls. I don't think I was so acutely aware of it in the manga because everything wasn't filled in with slate gray. I was also disappointed how Mirio's fight turned into a slideshow. The vocal track when Deku is reaching out for Eri and the whole embellishment of him destroying Overhaul made everything worth it. I have high hopes for the next arc.

If you compare Mirio's fight vs 1-A against his fight vs Overhaul, it's night and day. The one against the students felt like they were really trying to flesh it out a lot more, even ignoring certain panels that looked awesome in the manga because they wouldn't really work in anime. Against Overhaul, it felt like they were doing the typical anime adaptation thing of just finding the coolest panels from the manga, and then holding on them in slow motion as long as possible, and then animating the bare minimum required to make it make sense.

I'm actually kind of shocked to read that people didn't like this arc -- I thought the Overhaul fight (All stages of it) was excellently done, and it's easily my favourite part of the show since Stain. I can't wait to see what's next vOv

Then there's an arc that if animated will eat a whole cour probably and I have no idea how they'll do it justice if it ever gets animated unless MHA gets a later timeslot.

But that was the only time in that arc that Shiggy got to look good, which was immediately followed by a lengthy period of him being a whiny baby. And really, who hasn't hosed up Aizawa?

Was the framing of the sand hero getting marbleized any different in the manga? I thought that Compress had to be basically touching something to compress it, pretty much in a small AoE centered on his hand, but he's not even visible in the shot when it happens.

Upside of being an anime-only viewer I guess is that I thought Mirio’s fight with Overhaul was fantastic. I was too emotionally invested to notice any technical shortcomings

As they were just things not there in the manga. come on, there were a ton of obvious short cuts taken with the animation and the overall direction. just because it was content created outside of what was in the manga doesn't change that fact i'm one of the folks who didn't mind reading this arc in real time, but it was super obvious that something weird was going on this season even before finding out they were splitting their efforts to work on another movie. this doesn't make this season bad per se, but it is jarring, especially when you contrast it with the last two episodes

It's me. I was one of the people vainly hoping for more content in the anime. I mean. Come on. The all girl team still got short shrift - it was a few minutes of "oh yeah, they were up there, there was a big bad, you get the idea" and it could've been an episode unto itself.

the mirio fight wasn't a visual spectacle but i felt like what they had did a really good job of selling the fight, in the end it's such a strong emotional moment that it's probably my favorite fight in the show so far, and the animationw as certainly an important aprt of making that convincing.

As a manga reader, I thought the Mirio vs Overhaul bit was solid. I also thought the slideshow effect did a good job at building tension. Just wish they'd found some way to include the narrator bit that states how long he basically went 2v1 while quirkless but otherwise thought it was fun to watch

Having not engaged with the manga at all, the arc does feel very isolated from the main story. Very little happens to the established main characters. Pretty much all of the issues I had stemmed from that - the animation was great, and the writing was pretty strong. It just spent a lot of time focusing on characters I didn't have a reason to care about, and all of them were male, which isn't great. Did we really need two episodes about Suneater and his issues?

I thought the animation for the Mirio fight did a good job of emphasizing each blow and how long things were going. My bigger complaint with the animation for this season is that it felt like there were a lot of flashbacks to previously animated scenes that filled up time, but maybe MHA has always been like that and it just felt worse for how much the pacing in some parts of this season dragged.Tenebrais posted:Having not engaged with the manga at all, the arc does feel very isolated from the main story.

On the one hand I agree with all of this, but on the other hand this arc gave us Fat Gum and I love him so much.

Compress took one of Overhaul's arms with his marble, and Shiggy destroyed the other with his power before cutting it off so Overhaul wouldn't be killed by his decaying power. Then he stole his bullets and left him screaming on the highway.

Without his power his dad/boss will be in a coma forever and literally everything he sacrificed was in vain.

It's probably some superpower BS where his arm still exists, the blood still flows to it, it's just... compress has it in his extrasimensional storage. Like most superpowers, don't think about it too hard.

Yeah it's obvious his powers are supposed to be focused through his hands since he wore gloves and stuff but some of the things he did made you forget that he's supposed to have to touch stuff with his hands. He basically transformed his body at will at the end there
