MHA has no filler. :colbert: Except for the seasonal clip show first episode but that hardly counts.

I seem to recall them doing a few anime exclusive episodes here and there but they were all fairly decent for the most part, that’s one advantage to them adapting this as multiple seasons as opposed to one big, continuous series I suppose.

Tsuyu needs more focus honestly. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot to her (she’s blunt but competent and is a human frog) but there’s still something I like about her character regardless.

As far as I remember, she hasn't really gotten any major focus since the whole apology scene.

She also got her own anime exclusive episode back in I think Season 2 but yeah, the apology scene seems to be her last major appearance thus far.

Which, since we're here in the ANIME thread really shouldn't be talked about. There's a fully functional manga thread. Go talk about what happens in stories that haven't been seen by us Anime watchers over there. That's what it's for. Even vague poo poo like "*stuff*" isn't helpful warnings. It's spoilers. Please do it somewhere else. :colbert:

Fair enough, fixed.

If you haven't read Vigilantes then now is the time to do so. The initial 6 or so chapters are kind of rough but it gets a lot better very quickly.

Vigilantes needs an anime adaptation honestly.

That brings up a question actually, would it even be possible to pass One For All onto someone who already has a Quirk?

Out of curiosity, is Jiro’s actress actually fluent in English or did someone else do the singing there?

Nice episode, though was that actually Jiro’s VA doing the singing?

Also out of curiosity, why was the song in English?

Here’s Jiro’s song if anyone’s interested:

Assuming that was actually her singing that was pretty coherent honestly, I wonder if her actress is bilingual.

I’m also kind of curious if they’re even going to bother re-recording this in the dub (does Trina Nishimura even have any singing experience?)

Larryb

So out of curiosity, did Chrissy Costanza also provide Jiro’s singing voice a few episodes back as well?

Oh, I thought the last episode would be the finale. Okay then! Some new characters, a new baddie. Okie doke.

I think we’ve got one more episode after this if I remember right (though last week’s would have made for a perfectly good stopping point).

I'm kind of surprised they're doing High End in pretty much just one episode.

It’s possible they could end on some kind of cliffhanger but it’s been a while since I read this particular arc so I’m not sure what a good stopping point would be.

Like I said, it might have been better if they had just stopped after the Gentle arc and left this for Season 5 where they’d have more time to work with it but we’ll see how things go.

Also Mirko sounded somewhat familiar to me, any idea who voices her?

Well the season’s already over in Japan so it wouldn’t exactly be a “simuldub” anymore but still cool nonetheless.

Off the subject, a new OVA came out not too long ago.

It’s on Crunchyroll currently.

I'm just wondering if we'll ever get the second movie through streaming.

Is it still not up on Crunchyroll or any other official source yet (I know you can find it on a few unofficial ones)?

A sub/dub has existed for it for a while at least.

e: nevermind lol

wonder when in 2021 we're getting the new season... or if. It seems more and more of the stuff we previously were getting next year is getting pushed back further these days. I also gotta read vigilantes one of these days, where in the story does it start/continue into? I'm kind of just fine waiting for the anime to continue the story and I don't want to pick up the manga itself for the main series yet.

It takes place a few years before the start of the series and doesn't really effect anything in the main manga. Read it, it's good.

If anything its a sign of them all growing as characters, its a slow process and they all have there moments eventually.

(Except Mina, who is just constantly rad)

I think a lot of the comparisons to bleach come from the great character designs and unique personalities of the large side cast, except unlike bleach it actually goes somewhere with it.

I forget, did Asui ever get hers?

I hope it shows her family and they're also frogs

They are (literally in her dad’s case). However, they don’t actually appear in the series itself but rather a separate special (I forget the name of it though).

Tsuyu has siblings, she's the oldest of three I believe. Everyone else in her family is also very froggy :3:

I kind of want to see more of Tsuyu’s family honestly (even the manga hasn’t touched on them at all aside from a little bonus chapter the OVA in question was somewhat based on), especially her giant toad dad.

I could have sworn they showed up in the main anime at some point but I checked and I guess they don't? I haven't seen the OVAs so I have no idea where I saw the frog family. At any rate, they look like this! Spoilered just in case.



Nope, the OVA was literally their only appearance in the series as of now (as far as I remember anyway).

They don’t appear for very long and I think only her siblings get lines but yeah, those are some nice designs.

And now you’re caught up with the rest of the thread unless you want to start reading the manga.

Also I forget, when does Season 5 start up again?

Also, fun fact: the song is entirely in English even in the Japanese version (not sure why though but it was good). An American singer named Chrissy Costanza provided Jiro’s singing voice:

Yep. And then he made up for it in the base. Mirio is a genuine hero, but he didn't have that last spark.

Yeah, he also later deeply regretted his decision in the alleyway and fought like hell to make up for it during the actual mission. That’s why I can’t really hold it against him that much.

Huh, while it was mainly a re-introduction episode that didn’t really advance the story they technically didn’t open with a recap this time around. Neat.

Also should we make a Season 5 thread or just rename this one?
