Shocked I tell you

Fabricated posted:

Woof, they definitely relaxed a bit on this episode in the animation department. CG Endeavor looked pretty rough in a few places because they for some reason decided to focus on areas where his fire texture doesn't look good.

They better not gently caress up the final episode but I got a feeling we've seen the load blown on good key animators. I really kinda wish we could get a season where Bones' best key animators weren't doing a movie.

I imagine they are saving up the Budget for next episode.

Endeavor going for an All Might look is cool, and him trying to be nice to that fan is also good but backfired hilariously

i'm down for these new developments. endeavor getting an arc sounds cool

hyped to see him show off that while he kinda sucks in most ways, he's the number 1 hero now because when it comes to roasting an villain alive, he's really good at it

So, Mirko's gone from not on the list to fifth place in one go, leaping over everybody except the top five in one jump?

The people demand an Endeavour hotsprings episode, apparently.

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

they actually specifically demand the exact opposite of that

endeavor's whole appeal revolves around "i will never lower myself to participating in a hot springs episode" which is actually kinda rad, if hilarious given how unintentional it apparently is

i wonder how his new producer plans on preserving that appeal while making endeavor more approachable

It did absolutely nothing for me until the reveal that David Shield was helping the villains because he thought All Might was losing his powers

Yeah, there's a decent emotional hook in there, and the final fight owns bones, but the middle of slowly climbing stairs is so forgettable.

Glad they made my boy Hawks as flashy as ever. He's the best hero because he has the most idealistic goal: to make a society where heroes can complain about being bored because everything is peaceful.

He also has funnels from Gundam as his power, which means his soul is unbound by gravity.

Always handy.

Cool fight.

Shame we're capping off the season with a lame redemption arc for a serial abuser which involves no actual act of redemption. What is this, Steven Universe?"

there's some really cool complex relationships that endeavor is at the center of that i'd like to see explored in detail

i guess he can just win a really hard fight instead though. the fight seems like it's meant to be the endcap to an arc where he blows away who the past endeavor was, but they didn't really show much any reason to believe that he had changed much at all to deserve that. it'd be a neat start to an arc where he starts making real changes towards the people he's wronged, but there's leagues more to unpack with endeavor than the schoolyard bully antics that bakugo still has difficulty getting past wrt audience perception, and there's no way endeavor's going to get the same amount of development time as bakugo.

at the end of last episode i was pretty into "let's explore endeavor's personality and give him an arc and also show off him being really cool in a fight" but skipping right to "you're who i was" with the family he hurt looking on is a bit fast. dunno what season 5'll bring but whether or not this little slice of endeavor focus is setting up for a deeper exploration or if it's meant to be a self contained "endeavor is cool now" is going to heavily color my perception of how good an idea these last 2 episodes have been.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I very much understand people being afraid because... you've watched/read shonen manga before, and they all tend to do the same thing Oh, your father/mother/abusive figure, just wanted the best for you, and it was your childish rebellion that didn't understand them. And that's happened enough to very reasonably make people skeptic. But... also like... Endeavor isn't like those characters. Endeavor has admitted that he was a bad dad, and that the abuse he put on Shoto and Rei and everyone? Was abuse.

Also, while Shoto hates his dad... he doesn't wanna see him die. It doesn't mean he forgives him.

This episode's less ALL IS FORGIVEN! and more Endeavor literally fighting the representation of his horrid self.
