So the animation budget is finally back just in time for yet another tournament arc.

I don't care about any of these characters they just introduced and I suspect they will never matter again why are we spending multiple episodes on these fights? When do we get to the goddam fireworks factory. Jesus.

Honestly it was not bad.

It was pretty bad. The first "English" line she delivers at least is incomprehensible.

It's a bit part, I don't know why they don't do more cross-promotional stuff for characters like these with bilingual pop singers or vtubers.

If you write a scene in a piece of media where a conflict is resolved because someone runs INTO the shadow of a falling object I think you should be barred from professional writing forever.

Wow. So no one is going to comment on how ridiculously nice the animation was in this episode, especially for Iida? Smh

It looked really cool but it was kind of undercut by how inconsistent it was from moment to moment. One second he does the Flash move where he drive-by punches someone at 300mph and then the next he fails to outrun a very slowly collapsing tower.

I distinctly recall a pivotal scene in this show where All Might was on his knees promising a worried mother that he would keep her son safe and reminding the audience that the injuries these literal children suffer are real and have consequences. But gently caress it lets just have the students start suffocating each other and burning down the arena. It's tournament arcs all the way down!

Well logically Bakugo should really spend his entire life in a hospital having his sweat harvested for pharmaceutical purposes.
-a web comic by someone who's just so very smart, you see

Bakugo is the type of person who screams at baristas when they write the name slightly wrong on a cup and I will never understand why people expended so much brainpower fawning over an unrepentant bully.

This episode was cool and good and could have happened 6 episodes ago.

So is this show just an extended advertisement for the movies now or what? Should we just think of it as Agents of M.H.A.?

You know your anime has finally arrived when you can tell your friends who are curious about it to skip long stretches of episodes at a time.

Does the manga explain why no one has a gun here? I mean for the most part there's comic book logic at work in the super hero medium but this is supposed to be some sort of master stroke ambush by extremely prepared antagonists right?

It seems like nameless extras are dying by the score largely because no one is smart enough to just plug Darbi or Tomura from 40yrds. Or, I don't know, do anything OTHER than bum rush Flames Man and Proximity Disintegration Man.

So since my original question was clearly "why are they bum rushing the proximally omnicidal guys if this was supposed to be an extremely well-planned operation?" and not "heh, why doesn't Superman just turn a giant crank etc." I guess the only actual answer mentioned is that MLA quirk supremacy provides the pretext necessary for them to be as dumb as the writing needs them to be in order to crank out a chapter every week.

There's "tragic backstory" and then there's "over-indulgent bathos" and that episode felt far more like the latter. Also it seems like if Quirks manifest during the stage in early childhood development where children have very little control over impulse and emotion then these kinds of tragedies should be way more commonplace.
