Really curious how the reception of this arc will be in the anime. It was pretty polarizing.

Tighter pacing could probably help in a big-rear end way, but it'd still be kinda "Uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh, I dunno".

Also, y'all should know better about manga spoilers by now. :colbert:

e: Beaten like dayum.

The manga thread has "anime" in the title for some stupid reason.

According to ADTRW'lore, it's due to people wandering into the Manga thread because of the My Hero Academia thread and getting a plateful of manga spoilers.

Bakugo is still very immature when it comes to dealing with his emotions (I mean that's sort of a given; he's like 15-16 years old), but he's not a mindless berserk by any stretch of the word. Like when he fought against Uraraka: At no point in time did he underestimate her and even sorta took into account that she could use his quirk against him. When she does and he still blasts her debris barrage, he even notes that she was this close to actually checkmating him.

He's a fun character, even if he's by no means my favorite.

e: drat auto-complete.

Heroes are cops in this world in that they're regulated and licensed. She wasn't wrong, and they were insanely lucky everything worked out as well as it did.

Bakugou being the way he is kinda always felt like to me that he was the Zoro of the series in that he's set up as this ringer who will never lose a fight when it counts so you can't really just say "yeah he's gonna job" when he gets a fight with a genuinely top tier opponent you think the MC should be fighting.

Like if you had me pick between Todoroki or Bakugou as to who could possibly die in an act 3 stinger to show that things are really serious, I'd say Todoroki is dead meat despite him generally being shown as still being stronger overall.

I dunno. Isn't Todoroki insanely popular in Japan? Like I'd feel that the editors would be vetoing the poo poo out of their precious boy Zu-- I mean, Todoroki biting the dust.

Do remember that Mirio, despite looking like a goofy, mulleted anime-Tintin, has to make calculations as to where he's moving/attacking because he can't see worth squat. He could totally hack it as a surgeon. He'd be like the Todd in Scrubs (not the sexist/chauvinist thing; the "he's a dumb meathead but he's still probably among the best technical surgeons we see in the show" thing).

Wark Say: Feb 22, 2013; by Fluffdaddy

But isn't the whole reason he's even as good at using his quirk in the first place the fact that he had to be sharp in order to work out the kinks of his extremely troublesome quirk? Kinda like how Stands work in JoJo with stuff which sounds ridiculous at first is completely loving broken because :stare:

"Oh, poo poo no loving wonder: Araki is a mad-mangaka that likes to think just a lil' bit on this messed-up details".

Wark Say: Feb 22, 2013; by Fluffdaddy

Oh yeah, but I cannot help of thinking ways that Mirio, even with the drawbacks of his quirk, could totally hack it into having his quirk a functional thing of a surgical process too. And it's also fun to "brainstorm" (read: nerd-out) about fictional characters and the stuff they could do/get away with in-universe.

Remember that, as relatively "squeaky clean" a reputation as WSJ tries to keep, this is the same magazine that's currently publishing Kimetsu no Yaiba (which absolutely doesn't shy away from some wanton cruelty) and Chainsawman which is like if Carcass went back to playing grindcore nowadays or if In Flames ditched the buttrock and went back to playing Lunar Strain-caliber material. Hell, MHA ain't afraid of doing some :gibs:

Blood 'n guts is different because parental abuse or suicide from social isolation are far, far more relatable to the average reader.

Oh, no doubt, but it's still a hosed up state of affairs regardless. Also, both KnY and CSM feature some pretty heavy parental abuse/social alienation as well because surprise surprise, fantasy/supernatural settings though they might be, both Taisho-Era Japan (about 100 or so years ago) and the not-so distant future also have a ton of shittiness that the characters have to waddle through.

That's impressive and I wonder how many VA's would just like to build a studio and do that poo poo from home whenever possible.

Sadly, I was hoping it would sound like a FMV from 94. Just for old times sake.

A ton of VA's have a full-setup for recording ready as is, both in America and Japan. While quality equipment can be dearly expensive sometimes, you can get a decent-sounding setup for like relatively cheap nowadays. I've helped a couple of VA's in Tokyo so that they could setup their own makeshift studio at home for practice/rehearsal, especially because studio time fees for recording/rehearsal places in Japan is ludicrous as-is.

Erica Lindbeck (Futaba in Persona 5, Menat in Street Fighter V and, as pointed out above, Celica in Fire Emblem stuff since 2017) is good friends (and close neighbors, if I'm not mistaken?) with Kyle McCarley (the aforementioned Alm in Fire Emblem stuff since 2017, Mikazuki in Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans, Mob in Mob Psycho 100) and Katelyn Gault (Elle in Dragon Pilot, Morgan LeFay in Fate), so she has shown at least twice that he at least has some recording equipment for voice-over at the ready.

vvvv vvvv e: Yeah, sound-proof materials are also probably the cheapest to come by. vvvv vvvv
