Also he hasn't had an actual, like, fight in a really long time and that's too bad because seeing him solve problems with his quirk is actually interesting and cool

Mineta's line from this episode is IMO his worst moment in the series and is definitely completely inexcusable. I was also really hoping that they'd cut it.

If it makes people feel better though I don't remember anything else too bad from him from now on so maybe this was the moment Horikoshi decided to dial it back. God knows it warrants it.

This arc is basically the end of his screen time altogether from what I recall

Yeah, I'm not sure why Horikoshi put Grape Quagmire in his manga, but I don't like it.

The dark truth is that Horikoshi is horny and Grape-kun is a vector for it

He gets some in the arc after the next one, but I think that's it as far as has been released in English.

because if you told me she is 6 years old, i would believe you, and her established personality is "wildly in love with an incredibly old guy" which as of this last episode he apparently reciprocates

She's 21, and Gentle is 32. He's just got that Steve Martin prematurely aged look, and she's barely taller than Mineta.

So, yeah, I can see a bit of awkward, but it's meant to be a much narrower gap than an initial glimpse might suggest.

Okay I would not have pegged La Brava as an adult. I figured she was just an obsessive fangirl that's also a great hacker because cartoons. Although one of the photos in the ED seems to imply they were at school together.

Them being similar age does actually make their relationship cuter, if true.

La Brava never looked like a child to me, given she has an adult figure. She's just someone suffering from a mildly fictionalised case of dwarfism, it's mostly the head size and stuff that's off, but that's general anime character design, Mineta has the same issue and possibly the same condition.

In the manga she looks slightly more accurately proportioned for her condition as well, which helps, they thinned her body and enlarged her head in the anime, which adds to the effect of potentially looking like a child I suspect.

Horikoshi draws La Brava with adult proportions, she's just small. Without a regular sized point of reference next to her the only thing that would make you think she's not an adult are her eyes being absolutely enormous. And the anime version's eyes take up even more real estate on her face than manga's because they're drawn more like rounded squares with a chunk cut out than rounded rectangles with a chunk cut out. Plus the anime makes every single girl and woman who isn't already a rail thinner.

Question for anime only watchers, how do you all feel about the Overhaul arc now that it’s done? Back when it was coming out in the manga I remembered it being a slog and found the anime to be a fair bit better paced about it.

I liked the Kirishima back story, it fleshed him out a great deal.

i give it a 3.5/5

i feel like with some slightly better execution it could've been really good, instead it feels like "just another arc." not super remarkable in hindsight, for good or ill

My biggest issue with it is that the cinematography or whatever of the hideout raid wasn't dynamic enough to really sell just how many people were participating on both sides and keep tension. It felt very 'the team runs down the hallway and periodically fights a random encounter until they reach the boss'. I thought basically everything else worked reasonably well.

Pretty much the same as I felt about it at the time - it seemed too self-contained, with a hell of a lot of time devoted to exploring the motivations and backstories of characters that had never appeared before that arc and at least some of whom wouldn't appear since. The fact that Eri and Mirio have continued to play a big role has helped a lot with that, though.

I would have liked it a lot more if it didn't dedicate so much of its runtime to a single conflict in samey underground halls.
