Wow..

I had tears in both my eyes unexpectedly for the last scene, as someone who is chasing a long and tough dream.

I'm honestly scrathing my head here, after reading through the comments where everyone is saying they cried or wanted to. Ok then....... An ok episode again, a bit better than the first imo. So this is the cliche moment where the main character gets the courage to believe that he can become a hero after his favorite hero might guy telling him those encourging words. Cool.

3.5/5.

Okay that was adapted the best it could've been. Don't even lie.

5/5 for the perfect adaptation


Cannot deny that I thought this exact thing during the episode.

Love the ost.

Cried a bit because those motivational scenes were powerful.

Man Deku is a pretty awesome protagonist. Just like many other people, it took all I had to not cry near the ending when he was breaking down. He's too good for this world! Can't wait to see how he becomes the greatest hero!

Way better than the first episode but the pacing is still a problem here. They adapted 1 chapter in 2 episodes which made some scenes unnecessarily drawn out.

Ah amazing episode, 5/5 for me. And for those worried about the pacing, it'll be atleast 1 and 1/2 chapters adapted per episode starting next week(more or likely 2 per episode), The preview and opening hints at that. Anyways the ost and ending were awesome, gave me chills.

Not gonna lie, from the first episode, this does seem like a generic bland shounen. As of the second episode, it still is a generic shounen however it's quite a fun to watch and kind of addicting.

Wow. Just an amazing episode with an epic climax and heartfelt resolution. The feels train hit me hard especially in that last sequence between All Might and Izuku. That scene was directed to perfection with the perfect callback to his mother's past words.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold off on reading the manga for this one...

A lot of you seems to love this episode with some even crying, but here I am still not amused and entertained... wth is going on, am I missing something? or maybe this franchise just doesnt go well with me.

I cried. Wow. I can't believe... Even though I've read this already... I cried watching a shounen superhero anime. Amazing, really. They adapted it so well so far and added some more things that even enhanced the emotional impact of these scenes. Deku ftw! <3 Kacchan ftw, too! :) And poor All Might... I really hope he will be cured somehow... :'(

Well in real life I am kinda as powerless as the kid, so I could really connect to him. That brought the tears I suppose. Plus I love an underdog story done well, which seems to be the case here.

Well the series does get better and better. It really depends on if you like an underdog's story with strategic fights.

So I don't know why but I really cried this episode. It was so touching and I normally don't cry so easily. Deku you're my hero. Screw dem heroes who couldn't see you're greatness. And Kacchan needs to stop his tsun-tsun ways.

Also's All Might's skinny form looks cool still. I like it.

It has to do with the fact that episodes have to be 22 minutes. They couldn't have realistically fit that all into 22 min, so they had to pad the runtime to get two.

As much as we all wanted them to adapt certain arcs, I would rather a good in depth and quality adaptation instead of them rushing through things to get to the epic stuff

I have no doubt in my mind that we will get a S2 though, this series was huge in Japan last year


Considering the OP, it looks like they want to adapt the first two arcs, so most likely the pace will pick up pretty soon.

Since the last episode considering how much you and a few others hyped the manga here, I've read the first 67 chapters so far, and while it did improve significantly and the execution was above average, I still don't see it as the next big thing in terms of anime.
Fair enough, but I disagree

Looking forward to seeing the anime only reactions to this lol but other than that, it's perfectly adapted yet again this week

I think I liked it more than in the manga this time too


Really? I've read a lil bit of the manga and it seems like the anime is having a really slow pace.
They're going to end on a certain arc that I always wanted them to end on because I don't want Bones to rush through the material and instead I want them to treat it with care like they've been doing to this day

Oh my god Bones, you are making more than justice to this series, is the first time since AnoHana I need to contain the tears because my mother was on the side room. The OST gets much much better, I'm literally liking the anime more than the manga, I'm hyped for something that I have read, god, Bones, you are the true hero of this series lol.

Even impressing how this episode changed the point of view of the most critics, and believe me It does get way better, and better as the series keepo going, It just goes up and up with each arc on the manga.

Hmm, I liked the second episode better than the first. I honestly wish they had ended the first episode with All Might's reveal, it would have been a good hook for people to watch the second episode. Although, as a manga reader, it would have been really nice if they could have aired episodes 1 and 2 together as a two-part episode. Maybe more people would have been interested?

They really went for a comedic tone though... Am I the only one who didn't like that part in the first episode, where Bakugou was bullying Midoriya? The music that was playing when Bakugou burned the notebook just seemed off - I thought the manga was darker in that sense, and it would have been nice to keep that tone.

It's funny you mention that, because I was just checking those out right now. So far all of them have interesting and somewhat unique ones. Not the fire and ice guy though, but he looks cool so that makes up for it.

I love the relationship between All Might and Deku. I'm also liking the respect currently growing between Bakugo and Deku. Hopefully they'll make for good rivals. Can't wait to see what happens next!

I loved it. It was better than episode 1 for sure.

Animation, OST, voice acting, action etc. BONES adapted the second half of the chapter sooo good. Thank you.

I teared up when Izuku went to save Katsuki and then cried a bit in the last part with Izuku and All Might. I'm so happy for my son, his first steps as a hero.

Also, noticed the change in the smoking scene with Katsuki and his friends. I knew they would do that because censorship (they did the same with JJBA). Also, Katsuki called Izuku a nerd using the English word pff look who is talking.

I might rewatch the first 2 episodes together some time during this week. I have a feeling the story will flow better.

P.S. OP spoilers

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh that was amazing! I try not to whore the word amazing like other people do, so I try to only use it when I really mean it. THAT right there was amazing.

Best part of the episode is when Deku ran in without thinking, and of course the end too. Loved seeing Deku being told he really is a hero animated.

I love cheering on Deku, but next episode is where things get real.

You'll get to see some good fights in this season. But the best ones may not be adapted unless a second season happens.

So far I'm still not sold yet with this anime. Pretty much generic shounen anime ever. The power to be a hero is believing in yourself kind of thing. Though it's still enjoyable with the quirks and feels.

Nope, can't do it. This straight up reeks of Nardo so far. Same style cheese, same style crybaby "powerless"(but he will obviously have something ultra special) MC, same style ridiculous friendship/rivalry that makes no sense.

Te fights are good to okay, but then it is bones, so it is expected. But beyond being visually pleasing, there's not much to like here. Its every shonen genre cliche in the book upped to eleven.

The hero dude's okay. Would watch a show focused solely on him instead of bunch of wimpy kids retelling same shonen genre story for 200th time, especially since I am already watching a bones superhero show that actually questions the genre tropes and the idea of right and wrong.


3/5 again. Will give one more episode to decide if this is a drop.
