| The commitment that Mirio put in to rescue Eri was amazing. R.i.p his quick. Also Toga's and Twice development was pretty good. |

More like 30 to 60 with not much really happen in those chapters other than slice of life and brocolis, let's not forget seaosn 1 and 2 adapted 92 chapters of the manga 2.hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |

I mean the final clash was just a slide show and the animation in the entire episode was rather limited, also correct me if I m wrong, but did they reuse that shot of the glowing fist from the earlier seasons? No just you and a bunch of stupid people like you. miros said: Yes it's kidda weak and also yes the did reused No they didn't you blind idiot. Are you 12 or something ? smh don’t quote my posts if u have nothing productive to say. |

| overall good ep, slideshow thing was a bit disappointing but they're im assuming they will make it up in the next ep |
| I know I'm supposed to feel emotional but every episode feels the same this season. Some inspirational internal dialogue about the meaning of being a hero (feat. some flashbacks) and yelling about being a hero while fighting with the enemy and repeat. I feel sad for Mirio even though I was expecting this outcome. The foreshadowing was very obvious. Eri should use her quirk against Chisaki. |

What? are you twelve or something? Go away and come back when you are able hold a proper discussion |
AwesomeAlfie27 said: I am going to say something weird The "Animation" part is just a part of an "animated" show, not the most important one. If people only care about animation then there is no reason for this medium to exist, or to create interesting story/characters who actually *Blend* with the animation style Gintama doesn't have crazy animation, and it doesn't need it(Crazy Sakuga would ruin it) Am i trying to be defensive? No, i don't even think i am a huge fan of MHA, i am just tired of people whining about animation, from OPM S2 (negatively) to Demon Slayer(positively) Were S2 and S3 animated better? Yes Do i care? No What about the episode? Like always, i watch MHA for the writing, world building and storytelling And, like always, i liked all of it, Mirio is a great character and some consequences will be felt Animation wise? I thought it was good, especially the slideshow part, a quirkless guy shouldn't fight with cfazy flips or incredible action, he is just a normal dude, the most important part was the meaning behind it i agree with what u had said here :) |
The spider is watching |
| Finally, an episode worthy to be compared to S3 1st cour. Although you can really tell it didn't had a really big high stake as the events of that cour, and the static image mid fight killed the mood. I belive the director knowing this would happend really focused on the best thing MHA has to offer: Yuuki Hayashi soundtrack (which by the way, also finally showed so amazing OST for this season). Even if the story wasn't really intense, the soundtrack make the whole episode breathtaking |
 |
| Lemillion, the hero in all of us. :( Great episode, I'm with a lot of other people who mentioned this episode deserved so much better. It was the biggest moment of this arc, watching Mirio fight against Chisaki and eventually giving up his own quirk just to protect Eri after working so hard to master is own quirk is the single biggest act of self sacrifice in the manga, perhaps till date. It was emotionally charged and full of heart and while I won't say that it was completely butchered, it was great and emotional too, this episode needed more of that Bones touch that we've been spoiled by thus far in the series. I wonder if Bones had to devote people to the movie resulting in what happened to this episode. :( That moment where he shields Eri with a smile on his face and gets hit. T.T Here's to hoping the following fight against Overhaul gets the sakuga it deserves. |

deg said: miros said: 1. Mob psycho bombed in japan 2. they will not make a season shorter than 12/13 episodes and there isn't enough material for that (the 2 Ovas are possible but again the anime bombed) disc sales are irrelevant now lol Mob Psycho is big on international streaming sites like CrunchyRoll Megalobox, Dr Stone, Fire Force did not do well on disc sales there in japan but they all got sequels thanks to legal streaming profit International streaming alone isn't enough of a profit to warrant renewing an anime unless those sites contribute directly to financing. Besides, I wager illegal streaming is still the dominant form of anime consumption. I don't know about Megalobox but Dr. Stone and Fire Force are ongoing Shonen and they never sell as anime. For Shonen, the anime is mere advertisement for the actual revenue generator - merchandise and manga. That's where the bulk of their profit comes from and what incentivises manga publications to contract the anime studios to produce more seasons. |
 |
| They waste the animation budget on pointless flashbacks and make the fight a fricking slideshow, the production of this season is laughable. How did the manga editor allow this to happen! All of these flashbacks should've happened earlier, not in the middle of the fights! I put up with this for the last few episodes expecting Overhaul's fight to be the selling point of the season (since it's the only thing that had any build up so far), but apparently it's just as bad as the rest of the season. |
| I liked the episode... but I agree, the fight deserved better. It was fine, sure. It certainly wasn't bad animation, and not even in the 'can't have bad animation if there's no animation' way, either. The direction was disappointing, but the art and soundtrack were up to snuff. It delivered, it got the point across, it was perfectly adequate as a fight scene. But, come on. This is the emotional highlight of the arc, and 'perfectly adequate' is what we're settling for? Nah. This should be where the creative team puts in all their effort to improve on how it was in the manga, because this is the moment that people should be thinking of when they think about this arc. Yes, I know it's basically just Horikoshi skipping over the rest of the fight and going, "This, but for five minutes" after Lemillion gets shot. That, to me signals a grand opportunity to really showcase how he's fighting without a quirk, how he's still holding out two-on-one, and really sell to the audience what's going on through visual means. That they settled... I'm not happy. It's a shame, because this is one of the best arcs in the show so far, but it's been let down by the direction and by creative choices beyond its control. What I'm saying is, this is the One Punch Man S2 of BNHA. |

| Awesome! episode |
 |
| Ok, can I ask why some people here are being so harsh on this episode because of just the slideshow part? I don't really get it TBH. Apart from that part, the episode was really great overall, majority of the fight between Mirio & Overhaul was pretty intense, having solid/genuine tension throughout, having a ton of well-animated high-speed moments. Yeah, some cool sakuga in that part instead of the slideshow would've been great, but that doesn't take away that the remainder of the episode was really solid in terms of action, animation & intensity. This recent negative hate bandwagon against MHA that I've been noticing in the last few months is really sad for me to see as a big fan of this show, I feel like that a lot of the hate in general is really undeserving. |

| Brooooooooo, this shit was epic af!!!!!!!!!! |

| Sorry Mirio, you're not this series main protagonist. You're a side character and your screen time to shine is just ended. Deku is the MC so of course you're gonna lose. It's plotted for Deku to fight Overhaul. But what's up with that animation. Why the slideshows? Movie? No! Mirio deserve better fight scene than Kirishima since he's top 1 student and against the main antagonist Overhaul. Also, I still see unnecessary insert of flashback. For example, the part where the villain shoot Eri does not need a replay of what Mirio said before. It's already predictable based on his quirk. At least give him a fight scene he deserve if he's gonna lose. It's not one of the best episode like people say it is. Bone need to step up their game. |

| Mirio > midoriya just fucking get rid of fucking shitty ass deku already, also the constant disrespect to mirio is annoying by bones, first they use mirios theme and show it first with kirishima and now they do him a slideshow, fuck you bones |
 |
| Mirio honestly is way more deserving of one for all |
 |
| Tbf i'd rather have slideshow than shitty animated fights I feel like they did slideshow as to not take away from the emotional impact. Eh whatever |

| Mirio T-T This is terrible. He would have been a great successor to Almight. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| man it sucked seeing this happen to him in the manga and even more so in the anime because it becomes even more dramatic but all in all it was beautifully animated amazing ep now come next ep my god i cant wait to see whats coming be animated looking forward to it |

fluffylily said: I completely agree with you, I'm loving this show and I don't get what's the big deal about the animation at all. Great episode, excited for the next! Exactly. The sad part is that this episode actually did have pretty solid choreography and animation for the most part during the Mirio vs Overhaul fight, characterized well in the several high-speed moments.....apart from that slideshow part. And that technically wasn't even bad animation, because instead of some sakuga they just put a slideshow of images in those brief moments...that's all. Yeah, some sakuga during that part would've obviously bee better, but some people here are ignoring that the quality of the remainder of the episode was pretty solid, whether in terms of action, animation, intensity or tension. Anyways, I'm also hyped for the next episode, hope that they're are saving some solid sakuga for the Deku vs Overhaul part. Kotoriclub said: Mirio honestly is way more deserving of one for all Well....nah. Mirio is great, but Deku has gone through a helluva struggle and hurdles in the process of properly master One For All, having to suffer so many broken/busted bones for the sake of it. He is totally deserving of it. ;) |

| The voice acting was the highlights of the episode. But damm I want a real fight. I'm tired of "fights" that just are some Powerpoint slideshows with a lot of dialogue... |
| Nice powerpoint presentation by the way. For those who say the animation is not important, spoiler, it is. Specially in my hero, which biggest moments were always a showcase of how nuts they can go in order to exceed the manga. The anime not only have to live up to the hype, but also be better by adding movement, sound, voice and a group of things that made the anime adaptation superior to the source material... or that´s how it was until the last season. This has been the most disappointing season so far. Not only the manga readers hyped an arc that have been from mediocre to okay, with some villains that are even more forgettable than the League members, but also the emotional moments are not handled as well as before. All of those things are what make MHA stand out as a shonen, if they do not exist, this is just plain shonen with nothing special. Also the fact that Mirio was nerfed immediately after he was introduced, and that Midoriya is going to be gifted in a few arcs only proves that this is going downhill. I expected a lot more to be honest, and specially about this arc, considering most of the best moments or panels in the manga have been adapted in a very unsettling way. The movie is definitively cutting the work, talent and budget, and S4 (which apparently is the best arc so far) have to pay for it. |
Nobody5464 said: Those flashbacks are canon the slideshow is anime original. They added those scenes that Horikoshi didn’t bother to draw to please the fans and all were giving them for their effort is shit and hate Not everyone read the manga. This isn't about pleasing the fan. The selling point of anime is its animation. If it's not for that, why bother anime adaptation. Just stick with the manga. Did you see Bone's previous works on fight scene? (Ex: Fullmetal Alchemist, Noragami, Mob Psycho, Bungou Stray Dogs, previous seasons of BHA) |

It feels really weird considering Bones absolutely floored me this year with MP100 S2 having some of the best animation I've seen in general for the medium yet they've clearly massively skimped out with BNHA S4. Because mob psycho is the better shounen that is better written and more worthy of “sakuga” |
