Nah, the post summed it up.

Summed up what exactly? All you said was "Show is bad."

there's some mild pacing problems and i dont think anyone would deny that - some unnecessary recaps, a couple of scenes per episode where they explain things for too long while nothing happens - but the important scenes have a lot of kinetic energy to them and there are some great bits of character animation that add a lot to making the cast feel like they're really bouncing off each other, so overall i'd say it's a pretty good anime.

I know. I have a few quibbles about small things here or there, but the show does so much so well that it's hard not to love.

Basically the adaptation is fine by me but I think for people coming in fresh there's too much exposition and the episodes tend to end just when things are getting good- and more in a frustrating way rather than a good cliffhanger sort of way.

Like I know there's gonna be a lot of anime only watchers who are gonna hate the fight with Shinsou. Regardless how it sets anything up it's a slap fight with what a lot of people are going to call an asspull.

This season is at least better paced then the first one. It's switched from having godawful flashbacks every ten seconds to having big recaps at the start and I think that's a little better.

I actually really like the slowish pace because they've been giving a fuckload of time and personality to the extremely fun and good side characters.

People keep saying "the pacing is bad, the anime needs to go faster and stop focusing on these tiny details from the manga"

gently caress that, I want more details, I volunteer to see anime-original filler about Class B and Mount Lady

The characters in My Hero Academia have me hooked, basically

Lemme tell you, this upcoming tournament is one of the best tournaments I've seen in a shonen manga because it ain't just fights for fights' sake. We only focus on a couple, and they're all big character moments.

I just found someone that really dislikes this series. Who hated the first season and how the second season is going thinks Izuku is a bad character.

To defend his point he brought up the Irregular at Magic High school saying it did the same thing season 1 did in 6 episodes and that he thoroughly enjoyed that series and it's protagonist.

Nobody is complaining about this, people are complaining about how enough time each episode has been devoted to a copy-pasted setting intro and needless recaps that, this far into s2, we would be almost a full episodes worth of content further into the story if they'd not been stalling for 2-4 minutes of runtime every episode.

i mean, that amount of stalling is just a reality of how anime is produced. jojo's had twice as much stalling like that, and re:zero stood out because of how dedicated the staff were to *not* stalling. short 13 ep shows dont have to do stuff like that, but these days anything over that length is probably gonna have that to a certain extent, even moreso if it's an action-heavy series.

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, this has nothing on the abysmal decisions the Stardust Crusaders anime had. And it's gotten much better than it used to be in the first season, where it was adept at placing a flashback halfway through every single cool scene.
