Yes, but at the same time, I do have an irrational hatred of that thing where they flashback to what just happened to explain it, even with the admittedly cute, simplfied diagram.

How bold to publish a chapter with only 2 pages. One with Deku saying that he's going to punch him again, and the cliffhanger with Eri.

Cliffhanger talk: I've always said that most manga should be 2 a month at 20 something pages, instead of weekly at 15ish. Even if we net less pages per month, there would be better pacing and just as much content, since we wouldn't waste the first and last pages of chapter with nothing-burger cliffhangers.

I think this is pretty cool actually. I'm more invested in this than in another big fight going on at the moment.

Yeah it was. It complements the last chapter where we saw Deku's memories of his friends. Now we kind of get to see it from the other side.

No Nose bursting into Big Nose bursting into Big Beak might be the funniest thing that ever happened in this series.

This better be a fakeout of sorts, if they really go "actually, AFO made Tomura's dad be abusive" then it's so over. Up 'till now I still thought it was fine landing what it wanted to land

Turns out he also used that same quirk to influence Endeavor.

Not part of a scheme, just to be funny.

Dr Garaki said that Dabi and the orphanage were backups incase things fell through with Shigaraki and there's no reason to believe he was lying.

The League all integrates into society without issue, except Toga who is still shunned. Not because of the blood sucking, but because she's still a weirdo aside from that.

AfO's actual quirk is being genetically evil and all the power stealing stuff is just a random mutation.

That's two completely unrelated quirks. Next you'll be telling me that someone could have both fire and ice powers, but I'm supposed to believe it's just one singular quirk somehow.

Garaki: Okay now that we've implanted a shittier version of Overhaul into the kid, do you want to get the real version, Master? It's literally the strongest quirk we've ever seen.

All For One: Not right at this moment. But I'm sure we'll get around to it sometime in the next 2 decades.

AFO being an instant gratification guy when it comes to quirks is fitting (he takes, uses, and discards them like trash) but is another thing you'd kinda want to spell out.

He's the opposite of instant gratification everywhere else! We are seeing the culmination of decades long schemes right now! Why would this in particular be one too many plates to have spinning?

He only mentioned that it wouldn't suit Tomura.

Also, it doesn't make sense that he stole Fierce Wings and not Fiber Master if only to punish and humiliate Best Jeanist like he would Hawks.

Wonder what Tenko's quirk was originally. My money is either Airwalk, because it's basically just Float, or Navel Laser, because lol.

Yes, but what if Kotaro had another daughter instead? How would the series shake out then?

I personally liked how the anime handled that by turning it into a full musical number (in English for some reason)

In the future, everyone speaks English. The rest of the dialog is simply translated for the Japanese audience.

I watched dragon ball kai a few months ago and the pacing is absolutely not brisk, not even after it's been edited down to watchable levels.

I just finished my Kai recently and I had no issue with Frieza at all, but everything from Super/Evil Buu onwards was pretty much unwatchable.

There is no case for saying the MHA anime has bad pacing. It's extremely to the point without feeling rushed.

Season 1 has terrible pacing. It was the natural ending point, but it's 9 episodes of content stretched out to a full cour.

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.

gently caress Death Arms. He's retirement was, like, the one real consequence after the war, other than Midnight. Walking that back and saying he's actually still heroic is so loving boring.
