Although I like the slower pace, I'm sad that it's going to move slow because that means less Alien Queen this season :(

Oh well. That wonderful character card in the opening (btw. I really do like the op and ed for some reason) will suffice.

For now.

I stopped reading the manga literally the day this anime started a bit way through the arc that's after where we all assume the anime will get too, I guess because the anime did enough on it's own to scratch that shounen itch for me but then I see stuff like

I am very excited for others to meet the rest of the cast. There's at least three times during the OP when they flash all the characters where it's just "hell yeah, that's my dude right there." These super powered high schoolers are preeeetty great.

I think it's fairly heartening that it's only a 12 ep run, and I really hope they stick with a seasonal format - like a season a year or something. We still get the Hero anime, with none of the filler!

Edit: beaten by the Waffleman.

Yes, I remember that.

It does not decrease my desire for a Mt. Lady spinoff.

(E:I don't quite remember all of the details, my memory is really, really lovely. But I do remember her being a fame/money-crazed lady who reluctantly uses her Mountainous Posterior to get higher on the charts. She still does good though.)

Also how many cases is he solving per day? 800 eps should be at least a year, even if they spend 5 eps on a single night of crime-solving, right?

Ochaco's throw registering as infinity got me the most laughs so far. This show is really picking up.
Tempted to check the manga out, but I'm also keen on going into each new episode blind. Maybe after the 12 episodes finish, if there isn't an announcement that it'll keep going right away , I'll start reading.

This is probably a good idea. The manga is wonderful, and highly recommend it.

Bakugo has a long long way to go to being a real hero.

That's kinda the major point of his character.

Sure, he's strong - but there's so much more to being a hero than being strong (which is still required, at least in certain areas. I mean, we have a firefighting hero). It's even a central point of the series.

He's a giant dick, but he's there to learn to not be such a giant dick.

Except when someone's poor behavior is excused because society gives them a pass, it makes it exponentially worse.

Sure, it takes an initial act of assholery, but then you get to keep doing worse and worse things because who cares.

Sure, katsuki's a terrible person, but he's been left unchecked for too long. It takes a long time to break bad habits and change a person.

i wouldn't have minded that. if they replaced the gratuitous flashbacks with extra fight time for the other teams then this episode would probably be better for me

also, jojo part 4 is pretty much a direct adaptation (with a few extra scenes added in) and it manages to adapt quite a few chapters at a time

I feel like that's an unfair comparison, as Jojo moves at a pace that allows you to fit in multiple chapters per episode. MHA sometimes does, sometimes does not.

I like this series about anime super heroes. I like the poofy haired girl but I'm not keen on her fan-service super hero costume, I like the big muscle guy and I hope we get to see him do cool things, I like the Pink Ridley-Scott alien girl and her fabulous 80s costume, but most of all I really like Deku and his rage-a-holic friend, and I'm glad he got beaten and experienced some humility.

He really could have been just another Sssuke, but I don't think they'll go that direction with that so I am happy.

A good anime.

Alien Queen has wonderful fashion sense.

one of the funny things about yaoyaoyao's 'fanservice' is that she always seems like she's totally either unaware of it or maybe more accurately like she doesn't give a poo poo you're seeing it, which I find amusing. Her expression is always really ho-hum when it comes to that.

It's funny though cos she gets super embarrassed easily about other stuff.

I think it's more the latter. While I kinda agree with Roland in that the author's omake notes about her make it clear that he made her character and outfit almost explicitly to have a character with little clothing - which makes it kinda creepy, I also do think that her character is pretty great and that her costume is fitting for her quirk, which is a pretty inventive and interesting quirk. And a little bit of not-so-servicey fanservice isn't such a terrible thing in the end.

Also her poofy ponytail is awesome.

E: half-finished thoughts because I'm tired.

I'm really loving this show so far. They're really doing a wonderful job of visually conveying information to the audience; the side-characters who have only had a minimal amount of actual dialogue already have clearer characterization and can be "read" in more interesting ways than even the central protagonists on most of the other shonen shows I've seen this year. It's refreshing to have a show that understands that action sequences can actually convey information, and, in the best action series, are the chief way of communicating ideas to the audience, rather than just having everyone sort of blur together with super-quick reflexes and strength in generic fight scenes. I really wish we had a longer season.

Yeah, the side characters are pretty much the best part.

It seems more shonen adaptations seem to be taking the "Do a season then do another one down the road" instead of filler hell.

Which has its own issues sure, but I'd like to think this kind of thing is preferable, though I would actually like to seem some silly high school filler shenanigans in MHA.

This. We get a little of it with MHA Smash, but not nearly enough and not high enough quality. I'm not a huge fan of the chibi versions.

Speaking of, for some reason Tsuyu seems to move a lot less ... gracefully in the anime than I imagined her. I mean, yes, she's a foggy, but it just seems a bit strange. Maybe when we see more of her it'll be better to me.
