| That was an amazing first episode. Little Izuku is the cutest thing ever. |

TragicRomance said: Don't sleep on BakuGOAT just yet bro ;)Lol I applaud how some of you always manage to make pacing a issue one way or another. I''m gonna love this, the MC is the type you wanna root for so ye all is good. Kaachan tho. Ok first of all, I thought he is the MC's mom intil they showed his face and I went wth. I bet he's gonna turn into tsundere good guy later, not interested. Now let's how good the female lead is, seems quirky and fun so ye I'm interested. |
| I hate that some people think that this is One-Punch Man rip-off in shounen settting. When I read the first volume of the manga I fell in love with it. Unfortunately I never found time to read more since I had to study. I loved the animation (it is the perfect transition from the manga). The pacing was slower than I expected. I just hope that it won't take 7 episodes to adapt 7 chapters. Music was good compared to that atrocity that I saw in Gyakuten Saiban today. And lol for people saying it's too childish, in terms of childishness it is on the same level as every regular shonen. That art design is a good mixture of anime and cartoon. Kinda reminds me of Gurren Laggan and Soul Eater. 5/5 for today's episode. |

| Okayish. I thought they went too overboard with the comedy and everything was exaggerated becoming obnoxious really fast. Also I expected a LOT more from the animation. |
 |
| was ok but nothing out of extraordinary so far... guess got to wait the mc development or so... but honestly first ep wasn't anything to make me think its great or amazing... Will keep watching a few more eps nevertheless... |
| I love Deku. He puts a dumb grin on my face with his determination and passion. Did you see him swinging on that computer chair as a kid? LMAO. And bowing at All Might like he's grating cheese. LOLOL. Someone please, I need that second gif. Also, the music is perfect. Captures all the emotion dramatically and perfectly. That OP is probably my favorite from Porno Graffitti thus far too. <3 |

| Since when does the pilot episode of an anime have feels right off the damn bat? I was conflicted at first with this series because I was thinking it was gonna be another dragged out, overhyped and generic shounen series but after reading the first chapter of the manga and watching this first episode...I was proven wrong. Despite the hero and supernatural element of this series, it seems like this one is gonna be one of those series that hits pretty close to home with a very relatable MC. I'm excited to see where this show goes and also to continue reading this series. 9/10. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Quite enjoyed it and looking forward to the next ep. |

Blazeofspikes said: from one series to another, the settings will usually be the one element that varies the most, so I'm pretty sure the comments about the generic nature of the show weren't referring to that.I see alot of people throwing around the word "generic" yet they don't describe what parts they consider generic to the point that the word essentially means nothing. In my opinion this first episode is not as generic as you guys make it out to be. No one is arguing that character A from series B is exactly the same as character X from BokuHero, here. It's just that this first episode pretty much feels like the start of your typical WSJ series: a teen character who's got a big dream and something special about him (whether it's something positive or negative) starting off as the underdog but who'll progressively work his way up the powerlevel ladder. May or may not be ostracized by his peers due to his difference, and has someone he looks up to as a mentor/model/father figure and tries to reach and/or emulate. Takes its time to set up the world, the plot and the characters, but starts picking up steam once the battle system is fully introduced and the first important antagonists make their appearance. Many battle shounen begin like that, and BokuHero is no exception to the rule. Doesn't mean it's bad, but I guess some people just want to see something they've never seen before, and inevitably end up disappointed when they don't. It all boils down to the viewers' expectations, really. |

| Well then, a cool first episode, still slightly annoyed by the episode count, just thirteen episodes :/ All Might's legit as could be 😎 I know this is American based and all but those english words coming from All Might sound weird af lol. Btw All Might didn't answer Midoriya's question? I thought he did so in the manga.... Also, the perspective seems to be different from the manga. Well anyway, not too good of kickstarter episode, can't say I really like the VA's, I expected the character's voice too sound a bit, different. But they're not that bad either. Well then Bones, don't disappoint me. I will be expecting the best! But if a 2nd season comes that'd better be two cours, and I'll probably rate this anime very poorly as I didn't like the beginning of the manga. Well a shame 😢 For manga readers: spoilers ahead |

| As a huge fan of superhero comics, I really enjoyed the first episode of this show. I wonder if Izuku will get any superpowers, or if he'll try and be some badass hero that doesn't have any, like Batman. Either way, I'm really looking forward to seeing more from this show. Hope it turns out great. |

Mascera said: It seems there'll be a lot of character involved. And that scene where little Izuku ask her mom for turning on the video. LOL Somehow, the ED feels sad because it remind me of Charlotte ED. I didn't notice that, about Charlotte. They are indeed quite similar 😲 Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| This was such a gread first episode. As a manga reader I can say I'm satisfied with this. Animation was fine, OST amazing, the seiyuu killed it (in a very good way - I'm looking at you Okamoto) and I like that they are going with an easy pace and not rushing it. Although I am not sure we will reach as long as we get a S2 later on, I am deal. Also, I get why people find it generic as a first episode. BnHA is not any special shounen or a hidden gem. In fact it's your regular shounen as most out there. The reason why people hyped this a lot it's because people enjoy it very much (or that's what I understand from the manga discussions). It has it's cliche moments, but I think the execution is what makes me like this story so much. This episode reminded me of what a jerk Kacchan used to be at first (not that he is not now as well but he is less than the first chapters). If I hadn't reread chapters of the manga this week I would have forgotten. But that's fine. It means Hori is doing a good work with him (because Kacchan makes Hori happy to draw him and likes him a lot overall). I really don't care for the hate he will get as I can't force people to like him but I believe his character development is pretty great. Edit: I forgot to say that the only complain so far were the comic sounds during the classroom scene of Izuku and Katsuki. I think they added them to lighten up the mood, dunno. But it wasn't funny for me...This scene in the manga was very tense and you could feel Izuku's fear and Katsuki's bad intentions. Their problematic relationship is one of the core things of this story and it has to be represented like it should be. |

| Stupid Deku, stop studying the other heroes and start training. 100 Push-ups, 100 Sit-ups, 100 Squats and 10km running, every single day! This should have been a 40 minutes special episode, splitting the first chapter in two was a bad idea. The pacing was ok, ...maybe..., if they had gone faster it probably would have been confusing. The animation and the quality of the art was mediocre, considering that this was the first episode. The end of next episode or the start of the third will have a plot twist that will make many people drop this anime. |
| The visuals are good and nice ED+OP. Poor Izuku he wants to be a hero so bad. Interesting episode afterall |
 |
| A good build up episode. Also the blond guy is a dick. |
 |
| I liked it! It's not my style, but it was nice to watch something different! I loved the concept of the anime, where people has superpowers, but the protagonist doesn't and I felt so bad for him! I could feel his sadness and desire to be a superhero even if he doesn't have a Quirk. Okay he's coward, but I quite understand him, especially his fear for that explosion guy, his Quirk is very powerful. I will watch the next episode to see if I will continue watching it. Overall it was very nice. |
 |
| I highly enjoyed the episode. Although the scene with the villain going into Izuku's mouth was a bit... disturbing, lol. I actually was like, "oh god," at that. |
 |
Surprisingly, I really don't have any problems with Bakugou, even though he's such a prick on the 1st ep. It's just Deku's hair. Ranta just pisses me off that it gets transferred on to him. But that's just me haha |
   |
| yesterday finally saw Batman vs Superman, and today I saw this series, making my blood's superhero fan's excitement. I see very promising series. I love the graphic language, similar to the style of American comics |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |
| If nothing else, I really like the animation and art direction! Those facial expressions were great LOL |

| one of the shows i was most looking forward to this is gonna be a fun ride even not being the biggest super hero fan and i loved what ive read so far in the manga art is spot on too |
 |
| I enjoyed the episode. Deku seems alright, the animation is nice, & both the opening & ending songs are good. I can see myself enjoying this series &, depending on how the anime ends, I might start reading the manga. |
 |
| this 1st episode feels so slooooowww.... all hail Mt. Lady ass I thought there will be a lot of action scene but nope... I prefer that kid with fire punch though hope something good happen for next episode... |
 |
| I'm kind of glad that this series isn't getting too much hype right off the gate. That way this show won't suffer the same fate as Boku Dake no Circlejerk and One Joke Man (which this show is likely to be better than, due to already having better characters and being adapted by a better studio). Instead, this show might end up with an actually intelligent fanbase. Also, the op was great. Dug the fuck outta that shit. |

| Hmm... it's kind of a slow episode 1. There's comedy here and there. Setting up the heroes and villain filled city. The MC looked up to a hero, but it seems that hero is gonna die. |
 |
| That was great. Next episode should pick up the pace and really start things off!! Midoriya's and Bakugou's VA fits them quite well. |
 |
| I feel like I'm the only one who has a somewhat negative opinion on this show rn, but I'll say it anyways. I think this show is undeservingly overhyped but I haven't read the manga so who knows. I think the premise is interesting but hearing about how the pacing is going to be, this show might flop. The OP is another case of Noragami Aragoto, overpraised and pretty generic. I hope this show does well though. I honestly thought it was going to be the show that would combat JoJo as best anime of the season. Seeing how Academia currently stands, JoJo will blow Academia out of the water easily unless some crazy cool shit happens. |

FrankieKong64 said: I feel like I'm the only one who has a somewhat negative opinion on this show rn, but I'll say it anyways. Nah, read the thread. There are quite a few people who share the same opinion as you. As for it being undeservingly overhyped, I guess I'll have to wait until longer to decide whether I think it's true or not, instead of judging it based off one episode. |
 |
| That was a very good opening episode. |
 |
| Nice start, and I find Deku surprisingly adorable, especially the part where he swings his head back and forth LMAO it was kinda cute. |
| It was ok. But pretty childish for my liking till now or maybe it feels like that because of character designs. 7/10 |

Ketuekigami said: SansrivaaL said: This was one of the most hyped up series this season.... sad to say that I didnt like it that much, MC's too much of a coward. Is there a problem with an MC having realistic character traits? God forbid the writer wanted to put in some semblance of realism into a character. I don't know if you are a literally god among men, but normal people would get pretty cowardly when having their entire world shattered and being bullied by literal superhumans. Oh so by realistic you mean everyone would become a coward when faced with something unbelievable? thats no realistic trait, thats one trait you can have and another where you can still stand up for yourself despite the huge gap, there are ways to beat someone who's above you, everything has a weakness.

| Labeling it as childish just seems nonsensical. Outside of seeing homages to western comic books and cartoons, I can't even imagine what's bringing on that feeling. Two, people labeling the introduction of the main character and the world before they do much world building and character development as the definitive proof that this is generic? Wow.

You are right that people can overcome bullies despite the massive gap in ability (these guys are fricking superhuman) but I do think it is realistic for the MC to be this cowardly. He isn't standing up against a group of 3 bullies or something. He's the only character without a quirk in a class full of people with quirks. He already tried to stand up to the bully when he was younger, and you saw the result. Heck, it's not just the whole class, but 80% of the population have quirks. Even I'd laugh at him for being quirkless when he tried to stand up for himself. He wants to be a hero like All Might without actually having a quirk. The kid can try and stand up for himself as much as he wants, but it's just laughable. Then again, if you want to see the MC try and overcome all this despite the huge gap, I guess you could just keep watching and see if he does this and how. No way in hell would I want to see 13 episodes of him being this cowardly, so I'm sure he'll try something. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| Im getting a strong One Punch man-esque vibe from this show and I love it! |
| I'm having a hard time finding reasons to like this show, based on this first episode at least. I was looking to be amazed, but wasn't really at all. None of the characters are particularly compelling. I'm hoping it picks up in future episodes. |
| It's a cute, corny shounen. I'll be watching this. Really like the MC. |
