This arc ended on an okay note.
Of the past 4 major arcs I have to say this was probably my favorite or second favorite. It was better than provisional licensing and school festival because there was actually some plot development, but I think it was slightly worse than overhaul. Overall for the arc: 5/10. I expect big things next week and onward.

It was quite the quick characterwise for Midoria but sadly his powers don't keep up with it. On the other hand this means we will get many more seasons. But some fast developement wouldn't have been the end of the world, because everything else takes it time in this anime.

Everyone did great! Mineta, how unbelievable! Guess it's very Mineta, so it's to be expected what is his true goal was >_>; It was very risky for Monoma to try and use Deku's quirk, but glad he didn't activate it or we all know what could have happened... Mina wanted to hear some confession come out from Uraraka, and that blushing is so obvious >w> Deku could have blushed too! It could be too funny to watch both of them getting nervous X3 Can't wait to start the next arc! It's going to be hype!

Of course Mineta can't resist the horny at any given time xD. There isn't much more character to him

Honestly, I can't say I enjoyed this fight. The other 4 fights were at least decent & had their enjoyable moments. I can't say this isn't bias since I'm not the biggest fan of Deku.

Although I loved Monoma. I'm slowly starting to like him as a character. Probably my 6th or 7th favourite character so far. His tricks & manipulation made the fight much more interesting imo.

Would've preferred Shinsou's team to win but a draw would've been just as annoying as Deku's team getting that victory.

Overall kind of an underwhelming arc. My favourite match will most likely remain as Bakugou's match. But the rest of the fights had their entertaining moments I guess.

It was an alright episode... I was getting really tired of the constant flashbacks. Was I the only one that wanted Uraraka to hurry the frick up putting Monoma inside the cage? She was just standing there for good 3 secs or so.

I enjoyed Shinso's character development in this arc though!

FINALLY this god damn arc is over, can't believe whe spent 12 episodes on what's barely two volumes in manga form.

Episode was okay, all the ending action sequence were pretty cool but the rest was painfully stiff, and some of y'all can go "but the episode was a lot of talking" yeah and they didn't do shit to make the talking interesting.

I still want to say that I really like Shinsou's role in that arc, he's amost its only redeeming quality lol.

So now that we're done, I can say that Bones did a really REALLY good job with the adaptation, if you forget about the content, it was a pretty damn strong display of great animation and storyboards, with probably more consistent creativity than the show has ever seen. Ofc not every single episode was impressive, but the 8-9-10 strech was super enjoyable all the way throught.

The only real downside is once again the pacing, some episodes were really hard to get through even with mostly strong visuals.

The arc in the anime is a light 7, a full point higher than its manga counterpart. Now onto the good stuff of the season (I hope)

Shinsou & Aizawa (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) Aizawa can relate to him & is totally looking out for him. I’m so glad for Shinsou♡

I didn’t hate this arc but then again I love bnha so I’m biased. I loved seeing how far everyone has come & damn, OFA is manifesting in him faster than Deku can handle. I’m worried for him. And excited!!!!!

Uraraka & Deku make a great pair ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) her going to calm him down during the rampage was such full circle feels with him helping her during the test back then.

Can’t wait to see Eri again. And HAWKS

ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

I have never seen a show use so many tricks to minimally animate an episode like that ever. Flashbacks, pans of static characters, speaking with their back to the "camera" or at a distance so the mouth didn't have to be animated, or not even showing their face. Just awful, I expect more from this show and studio.

Studio was just being faithful and following the manga, the source material had the same exact stuff as what the episode had.

You don't seem to understand the difference between anime and manga. An anime takes a static scene from a manga and makes the characters actually move. Drawing a character in a static pose and them pulling that character in that pose across a background is the cheapest laziest form of animation. It takes one frame to draw and even you could do it by tracing the manga.

And how exactly is the studio supposed to animate a short panel where the MC is literally flying in the air and doing nothing but looking up? That panel was short as shit and quickly transitioned to shinsou escaping. There was no difference in the manga, the studio dealt with that and ended it in 2 seconds short cause they knew it’s a waste since the source material didn’t fix it or add any effort in it. Again, studio was being true to the source material.

So every scene in the manga for this episode was so short it required no movement? Yeah OK. 9_9

No i’m specifically talking about the part in the episode where deku was fighting shinsou. :/.

No I complained about the WHOLE episode, defending one scene doesn't excuse the rest of it.

i could care less about your other complaints, i’m only explaining the animation part of this episode which is my only concern which is the whole point of my comment.

And that one scene i was “defending”, was barely relevant in the whole episode. I was thoroughly explaining on how that scene came to that conclusion. Literally the only still shots were relevant in deku vs shinsou, and those only lasted for like fucking 2 seconds or three.

The rest of the episode was animated normally, it having no sakuga doesn’t mean it’s bad animation. It’s just regular animation which is nothing big to complain about.

There was NO animation. That's the complaint. And your defense is there was none in the manga, OK great defense, you should be a lawyer.

yes there you go, you got the whole point of my comment which wasn’t hard to understand, there was only still shots that lasted 2 seconds.

The rest of the episode was animated normally with normal boring animation, get your head out of your ass if you think normal animation or no sakuga equals bad.

Don’t care.
