Petiso posted:I don't know what kind of shows you're comparing this one to, but the pace is going real fast if you look at any other typical Shonen Jump series adaptation. We've got the festival explanation, Deku's talk with All Might, class 1-B introduction, a training montage, the opening ceremony and the first segment of the race all in one episode with nothing stretched and no filler. It's relative. The manga compared to other shonen has a rather blistering pace. The anime just feels slower by comparison to the original material, though not by much.

Magni posted:She's quite possibly even crazier than that. Using her quirk seems to just use up small amounts of her body fat depending on what she creates. The only other limitations are that whatever she's creating must be small enough for her to pull it out of her body, and she needs to understand the exact details and material makeup down to the smallest part. The latter could normally be a pretty substantial hurdle, but Momo's a freakin' genius. The other limitation is that she thinks way, way too much about how her power can potentially disrupt the economy. If given the choice, she will always buy something rather than make it with her power because it is her DUTY to the FREE MARKET.

Arrgytehpirate posted:Attack on Titan Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Heck no. Akame ga Kill is probably one of the more aggressively boring (yet somehow also edgelord) shonen I've seen in a while. Also, Drifters is fine but in tone nothing like MHA--it's a Kouta Hirano work. Black Lagoon is a similar problem. Excellent show, one of my favorites; but I wouldn't recommend someone go from MHA to it.

MonsterEnvy posted:Though the fact that she was easily beaten by Tokoyami it makes a lot of sense for her to be frustrated. What I suspect will frustrate he even more is when she realizes that she had a hard counter to Tokoyami if she'd only been able to gather herself. She can make just about anything so long as she understands how it's made. This includes stuff with moving parts but more importantly flash grenades. This was a good episode and I'm glad that they expanded on the fights from this stage a little. I'm always up for Mina getting more screentime.

I like how Bakugou was (pretty much) the one who treated Uraraka with the most respect this episode. My favorite detail was how he did not relax his fighting stance until the fight was officially called. It really plays well with Eraserhead's admonishment of the audience.

This fight translated beautifully into animation. I love how this version really impresses on you how close the match was and how much both of them had to put on the line to try to win. It's also really helps get across why both of them have what it takes to be heroes in a very public way. Also, gently caress Endeavor.

Fabricated posted:I'm really happy they worked in the Uraraka eyeball gag there at the end along with the stuff with Midoriya and Todoroki with their mothers. Really need a gif of the eye thing. My favorite part of this bit is that given the world of MHA--it's entirely possible that that is just something that Uraraka's eyes do sometimes, because they're all mutants.

Roland Jones posted:Guy has quicksand powers. No, I don't know how they're related. He's still neat though. Oh, it's likely not related at all. People in MHA just have weird physical mutations. Sometimes the mutations are related to powers--like Tsuyu. Other times they have a bird head because, well, their parents had bird heads too.

EmmyOk posted:Why is Jiro rated so highly! She's ranked pretty well in both polls so far--people just really like her design. Also, she's often the one who reprimands Mineta, so maybe that's a factor? In a later arc, she does so in a spectacular and memorable manner, if I recall correctly.

I have to imagine that making those silver age covers was the most fun part of the job because they often had nothing to do with the contents of the book, so you could go wild. Just draw whatever gets people's attention like monkeys, robots, and so on, and then ratchet up the crazy to ten.

Moltrey posted:Tsuyu saying "You can enjoy watching me in this anime-original episode!" is one of the most self aware I've ever seen a series be Did not expect them to say that in the preview. Anime is not usually that direct about filler. Also, it was great to see those villains at the end.

The Lord of Hats posted:Give me my loving SoL starring Mina already! I feel he had Mina Ashido come from a similar place here. Mina saw Aliens and went "Wow, they've got acid and junk--just like me!" while Tokoyami at around 11-12 watched a bunch of shonen with heroes with DARK UNCONTROLLABLE POWER and had the same sort of thought. It's just that Tokoyami went all in, while Mina just admires Xenomorphs.

Thor-Stryker posted:I dont get why Momo is a hero, she should have been in the support class given that her skill isn't technically an offensive ability. She should be working with Mei on some bomb-rear end gear. You can get a lot done with grenades. Seriously, her power is very flexible and one of the big issues for professional heroes is bad-match-ups, as you see in the first episode. If their quirk is a bad match for the villain's quirk, they may be left on the sidelines to wait for another hero to come along rather than charge in and have to be rescued themselves.

Oh, you know who'd be fun as the protagonist? Mina Ashido. Good design and it would be interesting to see how she struggles with such a dangerous power that contrasts with her generally bubbly sort of personality.
