| Alright, so far, it's pretty damn bad. Definitely an underwhelming debut episode to say the least. To manga readers, does will this get good in the amount of episodes they have left? |

| This was a great first episode. It didn't adapt the entire chapter, but that's fine. It's getting time to breathe, and develop its own personality separate from the manga. I definitely enjoyed, the characters seem to have perfect voices as well. I can't wait to see where they go with this. I'm just a little sad its only 13 eps. I was hoping I could get in at the beginning of a hundreds of episodes long series. But with the hype and reviews its getting, I'm sure future seasons are guaranteed! |
| Typical Shounen type anime. I'll stick around to watch it. Love how the MC is a coward though. And still cowers down to others this early. Its very realistic to be scared of those stronger than you, so I want to see him still be scared - but not cower down to them in the future. Would be nice character development. MC cant start off being powerless AND super brave. Dude would have died by now. It makes sense for him to start off a coward and to grow an develop to still be scared but have courage and face his fears. |

Haqase said: Generic first episode. But let's see where this goes. Basically my opinion as well. I don't dislike it, I wasn't all that impressed either. I feel like the next few episodes will be better but atm it seems like your typical shounen anime. |
| Not bad for a first episode. I like the music and the colors. The series doesn't seem to take itself too serious, like how Midori gets bullied but still there isn't really a tense situation, except when they threw his notebook. Anime only viewer here, and nothing really happens in this episode besides getting to know about Midori's powers and his backstory. All Might bleeding from his mouth does also seem to indicate something for the future; is it because he's life is in danger or Midori's power awaken that his arm is squeezing on All Might's leg too hard, I don't know. Let's see episode 2. |
| Man, what the hell? I'm still holding back my feelings and emotions, who would have thought I'll get that much in the first episode? Great first experience. I have never read the manga, nor spoilers so I had no idea what to expect but I got the huge surprise. Main character is a wimp but so lovable. Feeling sorry for him during the whole episode, too bad he can't defend himself yet. We'll see if he'll develop into the hero he wants to be later. Great start. 5/5 |
| Loved the first episode. The art comic/manga style is a nice touch and I love how everything is so colorful. The OP was full of hype, so that's a big plus. The reveal scene about deku's powers was done so well.. I actually cried again to it.(qq) All might was perfect and amazing. Super happy with the anime so far, aaaa can't wait for more. |

| It was cool not a lot happened, but it was the first episode so its ok. The MC kinda look like a mix of Gon and Killua tho. |
| Anyone who crushes Midoriya's dreams or hurts his feelings is complete SCUM! DON'T BULLY MA BOY! |
| Average 1st episode.... Reading the manga was more engaging than what I saw here. I like the OP; I didn’t care about the ED.... This should be an alright series to watch every Sunday. Anyhow, I’m not expecting much about this after seeing the amount of episodes... For a weekly-battle-shounen series that’s just sad... And please don’t assume there will be another season just because you think it will, or because it should. (you better start hoping that there is a pretty good boost in manga sales at this point, because I’m sure any thoughts (by producers and publishers) of a second season will ride on that and nothing else).... There is no second season until it is properly announce, simple as that. Also, I read the manga and I don’t see any reasons for people to be hyping this the way they were (maybe it’s because of the superheroes theme, I don’t know).... Again, the fact that this is set to be 13 episodes long with no clear indications of a second season coming, makes any sort of hyping silly at this point. |

| I get why this is generic, but it took me a while to actually figure it out. That means it did it well. Sure, the guy's a wimp, but it's so nice to see the guy actually have some fucking passion towards something instead of being a mopy-dopy little shit. The power shit has been done before, of course. When has it not be done before? Superpowers have existed since mankind started writing fiction. Maybe it's cause I'm a comic book fan, but I really like the premise. It reminds me of Marvel comics where instead of the humans being the main population, it's the mutants. I don't care how much that's been done before, it's still a cool concept. |
| Anime sucks. |
Daw11 said: The end of next episode or the start of the third will have a plot twist that will make many people drop this anime. What? Why would they? |
 |
| This was amazing. I loved the art and animation... and the feels. I guess they will only adapt the first arc, or maybe the first volume... I wonder how many episodes it will take for the first chapter alone xD Well, I hope they will take it slowly and make some sequels! :D |
 |
Jakerams said: I find it similar, the coloring and shading is very similar to OPM, the way the characters are drawn too. SO yeah art and animation for me are quite similarGinkaize said: I personally don't see the similarities in the art/animation style besides them both being pretty good and the hero theme obviously but storywise and characterwise this will be a complete different series.The art style and animation style is like OPM, the vibe is similar, the hero stuff is obviously similar, I don't know about you but I find this similar to OPM |
 |
| First episode felt REALLY slow. I thought it was an hour special at first. The characters look...really awkward. But it has an undeniable comic book feel to it. Op and ED were.. eh. But I know this is a good one, so i'll see where it goes from here. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

| good episode for started, expect more hype next time... |
 |
| Maybe I was expecting more for the first episode. Going to watch the series anyways. Btw wood man, is that you? |
Ultimate215 said: More like he kicks the shit out of himselfThis was alright. I like the comic style the anime has occasionally, the pacing is okay it means they're taking the adaptation seriously. I'm still rather hesitant about this series since I tend to REALLY not like MC's like Deku. Well all I can hope for is that a majority of the fights deku is in is not the typical shounen fights where the MC get's the shit kicked outta him until either his friends come and save him or he get's a sudden power up and beats the enemy in one punch. Manga readers will understand ;) |
| -I see a lot of people complaining about the pacing of this episode but it had a lot of content. A whole lot more than the first episode of OPM which felt rushed (3 chapters in one episode). -Kacchan's voice actor did a great job of capturing his characters personality.  -This scene was so much deeper and more emotional in the anime if you ask me. -the animation was good and should be better later on I doubt they would blow their budget on the first episode. My first impression is that this is a great adaptation of 2/3's of the first chapter. I had forgotten how much information/content was given to us in the beginning of the series. I'm really excited for the series and can't wait to watch the next episode. |

| Pretty dull, I read the manga first chapter long ago, didn't catch my attention. I wonder if the anime will change that. Need more Saitama. |
 |
| Without seeing all comments I know there must people from One Punch Man in here I hope it won't become something like One Punch Man :( I really like the manga All I can say for episode one... Accelerator! Accelerator! Oh wait.. I mean Usui, alien.. that's wrong too Hmm.. Ooh Bakugou! Bakugou!! xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| It's kinda a more serious version of OPM Imo.. So far the first episode seems pretty good.. Guess it's pretty interesting to see what kind of ability that deku will have since it seems he doesn't have any quirk.. Anyway, looking forward to see the episode next week.. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| I Really liked the pacing, even though I thought the first chapter would cover the whole "Izuku Midoriya: Origin" from the Manga, but seeing how it was done I think they'll split that chapter in two full parts, and chapter 3 of Anime will be chapter 2 of Manga. Because of the cliffhanger at the end of chapter 1 of Manga, and the way chapter 2 develops. Since I started reading long ago I imagined Bakugo to have that seiyuu. After watching the spoilers given in the OP its almost confirmed that they only adapt until the U.S.J. Arc leaving the Sport Festival out, so let's hope for a second cour. |
I'll go easy...  |
| Aw yeashhhh, that was a solid first episode. Really loved it. Made me laugh, too! I'm liking the style and OP is Porno Graffiti :OOO been ages since I've heard 'em (like GTO-times, lol). Although the MC is suuuuuuuuch a coward, I can see he has some great resolve deep down and that's pretty great to see. Kinda like he's okay being the coward he is to some degree. I'm pretty confident it'll get a lot better from this. No way I'm dropping this, I know it :D |
| It was ok i guess. didn't have any expectations. I think it's gonna get better, so i'm sticking with it. |
| Had hight hopes, but disappointment is real. Protagonist has no real power but will save the world thanks to friendship and willpower? Touche. Max I can offer is 8/10 and I'm being real generous here. [I did NOT read the manga so I only judge the 1st episode] |
| Kinda surprised how many people were expecting this to be a top 10 anime. Isn't it enough to be a fun enjoyable shounen? |

VanishingKira said: Not bad,watching this animated definitely makes it seem much more interesting and less annoying than reading it's manga. My expectations for this are still pretty low though (despite that I'll stick with this to the end unlike the manga). why the low expectations? I thought it was ok |
 |
| as a manga reader I feel pretty satisfied with this first episode. Nothing bothered me; voice acting, music,animation style ... everything was cool enough. Looking forward to next episode ^^ |
| I am very pleased as someone who has read most of the manga; really nice managed, and loyal to the manga until now, which is awesome! I love the voice acting, specialy AllMighty's, It sounds so epic. I will be waiting for the next episode. |
| Pretty good opening. The comedy is fine, I like the character design and the animations. Bakugou is an asshole, fuck. GODDAMN THE FLASHBACK IS SO SAD. All Might saves Deku from an enemy, it is fun how he's overshadowed, lol. The OST is so good. Despite it didn't adapt the whole first chapter I think the pacing is not slow at all. This season is doing really good to me. |

| Damn.. Ep 1 was pretty okay I guess,the animation pretty nail it and the rest is decent. |
 |
Me when watching this episode. |
| Seems promising and yea my first though was One Punch Man too lol. Think I'll enjoy it. Put into weekly anime: ✓ Me, when my work shift ends. But seriously, that scene wasn't disturbing at all ...really. Very normal haha. |
| To all those saying it is overrated, all of the hype stems from events that happen later. You can't and shouldn't EVER judge an anime off of one episode. |
 |
| The reason why people were hyped for so long was the assumption that it'd be 2 cours. 1 cour sadly means that it wont reach the point in the series (half way into the arc after the anime seems to be covering to) where it got a lot more serious, then darker in the arc after that. While this anime will be a very solid shonen, don't expect to see the full extent of why people like it so much if you don't read past where it will end. |
| "Your guilt will be your past, and that will be your God." |
| I was really looking forward to BnHA cos how quirky the MC looked and I'm not disappointed at all! After one episode I've already fallen in love with Deku but seriously hate Katsuki. I hope he becomes a Knuckles type character (becames good later) so I don't hate him too much. :/ He doesn't have the attitude of a hero and he annoys the jeebs out of me. I actually enjoy the childish style / theme of the anime. It is what it is , an enjoyable shounen anime. I'm excited to see how much our Deku will grow throughout the series. (": |
