it does seem like a pretty miserable point in the season. already getting more filler next week, which is just Froppy and the seal guy again (how many times have they done this?), and this week was 50/50 recap and talking heads. the movie is out in a month so it seems odd they'd still need to bleed the show this hard, but maybe we end up disappointed on that front too.

Not to mention this is after taking a week off. I'm trying not to color the impressions of anime onlys but it's hard to pretend this isn't turning into a bit of a shitshow. Honestly the movie is entirely the reason for this, they restructured everything around it. Even the filler is probably here so that we're still in the same arc the movie takes place in when it comes out. I doubt they care though, it will likely make them more money than the whole season combined. TBH I can't help but hope it bombs.

Good point, part of the issue with this is that they've essentially pushed together two training arcs with little in the way of plot progression right next to each other while very obviously padding for time. The average viewer can tell when they're just putting flashbacks into a scene to waste time. It's the same problem they've had all season.

   using his power like this is a strange visual choice. the episode is mostly gauzy-lens flashback stuff otherwise, though you've got the below takes on trying to make an interesting flashback:   and then an example i actually think works well when Endeavor starts his very short one:

So is this show just an extended advertisement for the movies now or what? Should we just think of it as Agents of M.H.A.?

After further consideration, next week's filler episode may be a good thing in a way, because it will tell a complete story in a single episode with new animation, as opposed to stretching the tiniest amount of exposition into a 30 minute clip show with no real payoff.

This series has done like, two episodes of filler out of its 103. I don’t mind it since it does expand on underused characters who are seen sparingly over the next 80 or so manga chapters

Also I’m always down for some more Tsu focus personally since in the manga she’s just barely more of a character than Tenten from Naruto was. Plus, assuming they jump straight to it afterwards I think 7-8 episodes will be more than enough to handle the remaining arc effectively.

I don’t mind it since it does expand on underused characters who are seen sparingly over the next 80 or so manga chapters between the soft recaps at every season start, the Tsuyu/Selkie filler, Momo vs the tea girl (Tsuyu was also here lol), and the Two Heroes tie-in, it's up to seven. still a small number and it's only S3 that really feels loaded up since it has almost half of those. anyway, i thought the first Tsuyu filler was a bore and after seeing people complain about the Momo one i figured they had some reputation for disappointment, i guess? probably doesn't help my outlook that they're doing Tsuyu/Selkie again, when we just came off the class tournament where everyone got to do a little show and Tsuyu specifically was in one of the better fights. people want these to justify themselves as avenues to feature lesser-used characters but they'll just fall into being about a limited handful of the 1-A characters. and again, the outcomes to these attempts have not been very impressive, so i'm not sure how much benefit it gives to the characters.

That episode sure was a whole lot of nothing. "Focus on one thing at a time", my, what deep advice that could only come from the Number One Hero, and not like, anyone, at all, anywhere. Next episode looks fun though, I like gravity girl and frog girl.

I don't know why they keep insisting on releasing movies while a season is airing. You'd think doing movies between seasons would be better from both a studio resources and brand awareness perspective.

I'm honestly kinda starting to think I should nope out at this point and stick to the manga. Like as a manga reader it's been fun to watch every season to see how it gets adapted, how things get expended (or not) and all that, but the last few episodes where just... not good at all. Unmistakenly just a worse experience in every way.

The advice Endeavour gave was actually really solid and useful for someone in Deku's situation. And sure, other people could have given the same advice but other people weren't there, and being the number one hero adds weight to them.

I have never interpreted a character experiencing a flashback as introspection, but as the animators being lazy or occasionally as the writer thinking we forgot about something. But maybe that's just me.

Fabricated posted:The one thing that's clear is that Endeavor is much better at teaching than All Might. Which makes sense. All Might was naturally proficient with One for All and only needed to learn the actual fighting part. Meanwhile, Endeavor's quirk runs a real risk of harming him if he loses control and overdoes it, which in a lot of ways makes him a great teacher for someone like Midoriya because he understands that particular struggle.

I just realized that Todoroki never tried to copy Bakugo or give himself a jetflame boost while IceManing and I'm like whaaaaaaaaaat. Anyway, I thought that episode did a great job at showing how calculating and aware Endeavour is when he's working. I'd probably be pissy if I was juggling all that as well. Good contrast to All Might's generally bright demeanor.

Does his own fire hurt him? The fire beard is a pretty bizarre choice if so. Obviously it's Ponyta rules. The fire only hurts if he doesn't like you.
