 My Hero Academia is Bones' adaptation of the runaway hit Shonen Jump manga by Kohei Horikoshi. In a world where 80% of the population possess Quirks, superpowered abilities, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is one of the unlucky few to be completely Quirkless. However, this hasn't squashed his dreams of attending U.A. High School, the premiere hero training facility and becoming a hero in his own right, even though no one really believes in him. However, a chance encounter with the #1 hero in the world is set to change his life and finally make it possible for him to pursue his dreams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jBRnSVaGmI Staff Director: Kenji Nagasaki Series Composition: Yousuke Kuroda Music: Yuuki Hayashi Original creator: Kōhei Horikoshi Character Design: Yoshihiko Umakoshi Art Director: Shigemi Ikeda, Yukiko Maruyama Sound Director: Masafumi Mima Producer: Wakana Okamura Dramatis Personae (for now)  Izuku Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita) Quirk: Known as "Deku," Izuku dreams of being a hero,  All Might (Kenta Miyake) Quirk: One For All The top hero in the world with amazing strength and Izuku's biggest role model. He and Izuku meet when All Might saves him from an attacking villain. After an encounter with a villain, his powers have been steadily weakening. Moved by Izuku's heroism, he has decided to pass on the ability One For All onto him.  Katsuki Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto) Quirk: Explosion Izuku's classmate and bully, and the front-runner in his class to be accepted into U.A. His powers have been strong since he was young.  Ochaco Uraraka (Ayane Sakura) Quirk: Zero Gravity A girl Izuku met at the U.A. entrance exam. Seems nice.  Tenya Iida (Kaito Ishikawa) Quirk: Engine An intense guy Izuku met at the U.A. entrance exam. The Verdict This is a good anime. I loving love MHA, and this first episode is as good as I'd hoped for. It seems to be taking things a bit slower than the manga,which is not a bad thing because the manga's pretty fast-paced, and a lot happens in the first chapter. I give this series the Waffleman Seal of Approval, which means it's approved for use on normies. My Hero Academia is licensed by Funimation, and episodes go up Sundays at 5am Eastern.

Chapter 1 was a really long one-shot pilot, though. The chapters from then on are significantly shorter.

Yeah, and at least it's not like an Attack on Titan situation, where they had to wait four years for another stopping point to come up. There's probably enough material already for another 12 episodes if they wanted to take a season off and come back.

I'm not too proud to say I teared up a bit at the end there. For some reason, the line "You can become a hero" has always resonated with me.

Ratings really aren't a huge thing with anime. MHA is already mega popular, so it's pretty much already guaranteed to continue.

Oh yeah, now that we're past the first chapter, the pace is going to most likely pick up greatly. From the preview, it's looking like the entrance exam is going to be covered in the span of a single episode, which is what I estimated. The manga packs a whole lot of content into its time, so even though we're going to be reaching a relatively early stopping point, we're not going to feel like we're rushing past content to get there.

This is seasonal. We're only doing 12 episodes for now. Long runners don't really happen anymore.

Yes, but it being seasonal means they're going to wait for enough material, so filler was never a problem, unless they just need to fill out a couple episodes like they did with Noragami S1.

This is a seasonal anime, though? Like, we're only getting a single cour right now. They don't really do many eternal long-runners anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a second season next year. I think there's already enough content past the estimated stopping point for at least 12 episodes.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:There is enough to do 24 episodes easy, I think they just want to space things out so they always have plenty of material ready to cover. That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Yeah, this was at 80, so I don't know if there was a whole lot else I could do. I'm fine with it.

First two episodes: This is too slow. Now: They should have given more time to spread the next arc out over longer.
