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.
In counterance to the minority who've sent death threats to Horikoshi or expressed ill will in his direction, people have created #PLUSULTRAforHorikoshi on twitter. Now since they aren't directed anywhere, I doubt he's actually seeing them, but the thought counts.

I'm surprised this chapter is what's causing all the anger. I feel like the past couple of chapters were doing way more to try and explain away a bunch of Endeavour's actions, but not so much in this one.

It’s been boiling for a while with people getting worried that Endevour‘s actions would be whitewashed but I think the current prejectory seems to be ok as it’s clear that whatever win he’s getting it isn’t going to be without cost and possibly with him being depowered and/or disgraced

After all, Horikoshi had a storyline about YouTubers at a point where no one would have cared if he clowned on them and he did some pretty great stuff with it.

A little patience and trust is required, me thinks.

I enjoyed the first thirty seconds of the OP before I got bored of it and went back to Alestorm

Never really been one for anime OP/EDs - only ones I watched literally every episode was for Kobayashi's Dragon Maid since it was ridiculously catchy

Otherwise it's usually one-and-done

MHA’s have always been below average anyway, except for Sora ne Utaeba or however it’s spelled.

Only long running series I can name with consistently great openings was Bleach, which doesn’t seem fair.

Asterisk is still far and away my favorite OP song. Still sort of amazing to me that once upon a time I had to scour the internet to find the full song and now, like just about everything else, it's only a click away on YouTube.

MHA's soundtrack is sort of like Berserk in that way; the song everyone remembers and instantly thinks of whenever they think about the show isn't actually the OP or ED at all.

I have no clue who the creepy no-nose goggle person is in the new OP, so I'm guessing it's a filler character. Which is weird since we seem to just be going straight into the provisional exam. Maybe the rescuees?

Liking the new OP though. ED is a bit meh.

I can't say either the opening or ending did much for me but it's MHA, for some reason it never gets songs as good as it deserves. The day has not come yet, I guess.

The day has come, though, for another Shonen Jump crossover! And it has Deku in it!

Most of the OPs and EDs are relatively average which is kind of a bummer. I suppose it could be worse and be a Black Clover situation where the OPs/EDs are like the only good thing about the anime.

I dont think they're bad at all, and I actually quite like all of them as songs on their own but they don't ever quite match my expectations as far as stuff I'd imagine for a show full of bombastic super-powered fights and heady determination.

Basically I'd like something a bit heavier and hot-blooded for once, ya know?

E: this one gets close at times but then just kinda veers off into earworm easy listening again and it just doesn't have the right punch to it.

Yeah, I have no idea who that is supposed to be and it's really bugging me. Maybe you're right and a filler character to give some of the other students someone to fight.

The only MHA OP stuck in my head is Peace Sign, which started out as kinda eh to me but grew on me to the point I really liked it. I don't remember any of the EDs outside of the one from LiSA with the great volume-extra digression ED. I was hoping they'd keep the tradition and do the Martial Arts extra this time but ah well.

To be fair to Odd Future, it's a really good song that got absolutely butchered in the OP.

The full version is way better.

MHA doesn't really have a big OP that I want to go back and ever rewatch/listen to again outside of Peace Sign. All 4 of Black Clover's OPs are pretty good to great IMO, and their picks for EDs are way more listenable too (the first and second EDs in particular are great). I think in general the overall story symbolish/foreshadowing in MHA's OPs are way better but in terms of style Black Clover's are pretty good...hilariously the third OP (which is fantastic) has better animation than 85% of the entire series run.

Most of Bleach's OPs were great, and the ones I liked the best were from the absolute shittiest filler arcs.

I dunno, I like the louder/more energetic rock OPs even if they're kinda buttrock. Something like the stuff from Beat Crusaders, BACK-ON, MAN WITH A MISSION, Bump of Chicken, etc would be nice. I was more excited for Uverworld because I was expecting something like Colors of the Heart but it just wasn't quite that.

They're smuggling drugs through the crab trucks! And now Pop Step is stuck in a rampaging robot crab!

It's kind of a bummer that new Vigilantes chapters are released on the same day as the anime, so any discussion about it usually gets buried under anime talk.

I think so. His quirk is pretty weird. It's like some kind of pulling quirk or something? He was able to pull the bee out of mid air with it and steak crab cop's gun with it too.

The big thing that MHA does is make me wish the main casts of other series could get the chance to actually hang out.

Like it'd be cool to see the Strawhats actually just hang out as a crew in something other than the stressful crew splits/fleeing sections or the more common " everyone is in traction from the arc ending fight" sections
