Note: idgaf if the manga is discussed here too even if this is primarily a thread for the anime, since there isn't a dedicated thread for the manga. Just please spoiler anything that either isn't in the anime so far or isn't right on the MAL page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIl-nFhkOlU  Wikipedia posted:14-year-old Teru Momijiyama is Japan's hero representative, who goes by the hero name "Shy" as a result of her extreme shyness. After being chosen to serve her country, Teru is invited to make an appearance at an amusement park to give a public speech. However, her shyness ends up boring the audience to the point that she leaves the stage in embarrassment. More misfortune continues as she tries to save riders from a broken roller coaster, with one girl, Iko Koishikawa, suffering severe injuries in the process. The public blames Teru for failing to properly rescue Iko, which causes Teru to slip into a deep depression, lose her powers, and go into isolation for a month. Her closest friend, Russian hero Spirit, appears to her to give her encouragement and try to make her understand that she can't please everyone. With her friend's words in mind, Teru turns her attention to a burning building. She is able to muster up the courage to transform back into Shy and rush into the fire to save a woman and a child. After the series of incidents, Iko is later transferred to Teru's school to make things easier for herself due to her injury, as the school is closer to her home. She thanks her for saving her, and the two get to know each other and become friends. Produced by 8bit Studios (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Blue Lock), Shy may come off initially as "awkward girl cringe comedy" but at least so far it sheds that by halfway through the first episode. It's still early on of course, but it seems instead to be focusing on Shy proving herself to herself rather than everyone around her, allowing the anime to explore her battling an unfolding evil without getting hung-up on her embarrassing herself. Very good stuff so far, with some particularly dark and stellar visuals when it comes to Stigma and Amarariruku.

I read some of the manga way back and I can't wait for rear end in a top hat David Bowie to arrive in the show. The animation is pretty good but the character and especially background art is stealing the show so far. The story is nothing original but it's been interesting enough to keep me hooked. Also, Lt.

If Shy didn't want to be called Bocchi, she shouldn't have had a supportive alcoholic as a mentor.

Pepsha is way more collected that Kukuri ever is though also you probably are never quite sure if and when Pepsha will activate Quite Zero either

Oh of course they got Belldandy (Kikuko Inoue) for Unilord, they'd be daft not to if they had the choice.

Yeah it surprised me when they introduced Stardust in the manga and he's literally David Bowie, I wasn't surprised with how he turns out though.

Idk how much of this to spoiler so I'm just doing most of it. Well, my prediction was incorrect. That said, I ain't mad at how it turned out. And I like her powers! And with the nurse and the scene on the news at the end, they've introduced the last two characters from the 5 in the credits, right? Or was the black cross nurse not the green one from the credits? I should watch the opening again. I sorta didn't like the 3 episode cliffhanger, but I loved the character design and opening, and episode 4 has solidified that this is one I'm gonna watch weekly.

Loved the short "A-ha!!! You can't reflect my flames! Uh, I totally can, I was just a bit surprised the first time?" skit followed by Shy getting punched in her reaction shot.

missed last week so watching ep 4 & 5 back to back. the Stardust fight felt weirdly paced but the latter half of the ep was fine, i appreciate more heroes getting introduced and it seems from here on out Shy has enough resolve to offset getting an embarrassing assbeating again. also if they do more post-credits omakes, i'm a fan

ok ep 5 was neat, more semi-serious SoL with a couple surprises in stock. hoping that the calligraphy club isn't just a one-off set-up segment, seems like it could help with Teru's introversion while a citizen if she keeps attending and eventually befriending the two members

lol at Spirit not giving a poo poo about how cold the North Pole is. very appreciative of the introduction of a hero that thinks somewhat like-minded to Shy though, and more villains complete with the sickass production value

Shy's friend sure pops up a lot more than I remember from the manga, but the last time I read Shy was before the mangadex collapse, so my memory isn't that great.

two eps behind again so catching up now. episode 7 was really great, love how the ending was both an inverse of the public reception in the first episode and showed both Shy's development in popularity and socially. also lol at them pretty much spelling out the magical girl theming. Shrimpy-san continues to be win
