TheKingofSprings posted:Shokugeki’s pacing was also good and it really improved on the manga at parts minus the second half of the series being upsetting for how bad it got For me, from season 2 onwards Shokugeki had the opposite problem as usual. Everything was sped through at breakneck speed. They got through a lot of battles very quickly, but that seemed to be because two looped frames of Soma chopping vegetables, and panned shots of an inert audience are easier to produce than the kids hanging out at the dorm.

TheKingofSprings posted:Dr. Stone? I love Dr. Stone but the pacing completely fell apart in the back half with the gang rapidly traveling around the entire world and doing a functionally off-screen speedrun of rebuilding multiple cities, governments, and entire supply chains while cutting out the majority of the step-by-step science stuff that had been the hallmark of the series. The climax and ending weren't bad and didn't ruin the series but the pacing went completely to poo poo.

Dr Stone's back half was pretty good if a bit too fast, but the actual ending and big reveal was pretty stupid.

The final season is incredibly funny for this because even the dialogue felt fast. Like the director told the VAs to speedrun their lines.

I’m going to have to see the official translation, because Deku seems to be implying that this isn’t actually the AfO vestige taking over, but something else? Seems odd for this kind of speculation if it isn’t true. However this now gives me a theory that would retroactively make the last chapter suck less: this is Dr Garaki’s quirk ghost pretending to be AfO and he’s the actual mastermind all along. This would also be able to have a reveal that maybe Deku also had a quirk originally.

That'd also play into Garaki's Quirk (longevity): it'd influence his personality and behavior to the point that he'd look for other ways to extend his lifespan. Aizawa being here also calls back to when he switched off Garaki's Quirk during the Jaku Hospital arc.

I swear to god if Deku originally had decay as a quirk and it was stolen from him (for some reason) I have bingo on my "dumb MHA plot" card. Edit: not decay I meant a big quirk in general I'm just dumb with words right now.

oh jay posted:https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/my-hero-academia-chapter-420/chapter/42436?action=read That's a stupid as hell thing to say. "This one side character who never accomplished anything, but we know their name retiring is the only real consequence of the thing that destroyed society and lead to the current status quo It's not like we're talking about a dude who had accomplished... anything? Was anything other than a background NPC? Why would you attach value to that over I dunno, Crust being introduced and killed effectively in the same event.

I know this is supposed to be the big drat heroes moment, but every character dragged out for this has been gone so long that there's no emotion to it anymore. Like, I'm still reading cus I still honestly hope the author can pull this out in the end, and I don't want my contribution to this thread every week to just be "huh that sucked", but like.... it just felt like we were never given enough time with the characters as anything buck side stories to Deku that this moment feels like it's trying to cash in on something it never earned.

Also, like, is All For One going to muster up a random new army of his own, or are we really going to see hundreds of heroes popping up to job to AfO while Deku's arms heal?

I realize I'm basically writing fanfiction at this point, but gently caress I can almost taste what this whole loving nonsense shebang would've been if AfO stayed dead and Shiggy got to be the lead antagonist in his own right. Horikoshi hit on a genuinely affecting arc (Shigaraki becomes the hero of his own inverted story, fighting for people who don't get heroes' help) and, in terror of the social commentary he could end up making, veered hard into "inequality and abuse are because of this one incredibly evil man." Imagine all this if the kids were fighting a Shiggy who got to be his own character. Imagine if it were an actual ideological conflict -- even a simplistic one! -- at this point and not Good Yelling and Bad Yelling.

i kinda wonder if horikoshi just never figured out how to write a satisfying answer to shigaraki's character so he just came up with the most convoluted way you could punch a guy good.

It's going to be some kind of dark comedy if the reason why Deku randomly lost his arms in Shigaraki's brain space is so we could get Round 3 of "people throw themselves at an invincible superboss to buy Deku time" in the same arc.

Looks like the official has Deku wondering how AfO is back, rather than TCB’s where it seemed to be Deku unsure of if it’s actually AfO. It really wouldn’t make sense to have it somehow be an echo of Garaki, but man him being the real mastermind would be so much loving cooler to me.

You know, I really hate that Recovery Girl tells Deku outright that she's not going to heal him anymore if he's going to continue being reckless with his arms, and instead of learning a lesson, Deku winds up meeting Eri purely so he can keep getting healed despite his recklessness.
