Pyrontl said: Madara22 said: Aizawa !! :D Also nice to see Deku using just a finger !! :D Gotta feel sorry for Uraraka Why's that?? Her powers are nice, she has the best throw so far which is Infinity !! Deku might have had that too if he used his powers wisely. I like Uraraka, I feel like she's there to make Deku stronger, to motivate him. |
 |
| The anime really does a much better job at getting me excited. Looking forward to seeing more of the other heroes. |
 |
| Really goooood episode! I love Deku so much. It amazes me because I thought I was already sick of all these origin story, MC from being weak to strong, but BNHA is done so well that you can't help but root for Deku and wanna see him grow! Also Kacchan. I don't know how I feel about him! I hate him for being a bully but also... like him? It's so confusing! It's just that he's really cool. And as a non-manga reader, I can see some history between him and Deku. And it's cute that he's the only one who calls him that. I feel like they're gonna get along in the future. Probably not as best friends, but a love-hate relationship? It's also cute how Deku calls the girl "nice person" lol he's a cutie when he blushes. Heartwarming moment between Deku and his mom and him and All Might at the beach. Interesting characters! I'm so glad the score for this also rises. It deserves it! |

| Decent episode. Izuku starts to dwell on the fact that he can't use his power efficiently enough, but soon improvises at the end. Was fun seeing all the other characters make a cameo and demonstrate their own as well. |
 |
| Granted I don't normally watch shows as they come out, but this show is astonishingly good at hyping me and then delivering. I hope this goes long running :D |
 |
| Hyped to the max! Got me holding my breath xD Usually a weak mc pisses me off beyond belief BUT Deku got me so hype. Worth rootin for! xD Next Deku vs Kacchan!! *DYING* |
| So hype, that fingertip throw. And when nice girl got infinity lol  |
| Hi there |
I demand more frog girl. Come on guys, I'm pretty sure this could be a new fetish if we just push hard enough for it :p |
 |
| Aizawa's entrance to the classroom was hilarious. Really liking his character. Also nice to see some of his classmate in action, looking forward to seeing more of them. Didn't expect him to use the quirk just in his fingertip like that. That was epic, and the reactions of everyone made it better, especially Aizawa. |
 |
| Great episode again, nice slow pace. |
 |
| Honestly, before this episode aired, I really expected a backlash due to the similarities between Aizawa and Kakashi. Aizawa's speech pattern was a lot lazier than I thought it would be. Overall, another perfectly adapted episode. Animation is great, soundtrack is god-like, and was pretty enjoyable. Looking forward to the clash next episode, Bones will finally be able to fully showcase their talent for fight scenes. |
| "Your guilt will be your past, and that will be your God." |
 Love DAT LOOK from Eraser Head!! It is literally a sick look ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I'm very pleased with BONES's adaptation so far. They've really added a level of emotion and energy to each episode so far that takes the manga's original material to the next level. Without a doubt, the OST and its effective use at just the right times make the climaxes of each episode really resonate. Super pumped for the next episode as we get the legendary Bakugo vs Izuku showdown that we've been waiting for. |
 |
| i laughed pretty hard with Uraraka infinity throw. |

TiddlywinkUmbry said: Interesting. I thought you dropped it last time, and the time before that. He barely even cried this episode, a lot of your thoughts seem to stem from the subjective hate of the main character. You are literally just coming off as hostile and butthurt at this point. Other than the repetitive formula your points are pretty ridiculous. Maybe it's some sort of unknown autism that I secretly have inside of me, but I did not cringe at all during this episode. Character introductions are important. It's just an enjoyable superhero anime, it's not trying to be deep or existential, so you are right to give it nothing more than a 6. But you seem way too butthurt about it. lol I sense the same thing. He probably just hates Deku to death xD Although, I totally understand that hating the MC makes you hate the entire show lol I mean yeah it's the same Nardo-generic-shounen story, but the story's pretty decent. Besides most of the people watching this are in their early teens and those errr adults (like me/us???) who enjoy this are maybe young at heart?? *gets slapped* (￣▽￣) soooo it's pretty understandable why it got an 8+ BTW this show started as a 6 for me too. But Deku makes me proud *sniff* |
   |
| For all of you who didn't notice, Deku threw the ball 0.1m further than Bakugou. |
................................................................................. |
| Good episode, sure it's slow but I really enjoy the progress and character development. |
 |
| The Deku scenes always get me. The feels. I love this ep and I'm loving the introduced characters so far. The navel laser guy is too awesome lol |
| Pretty cool episode this week. Finally received cameos for the students in Class 1-A and the ost was especially nice! Best part of the episode was Izuku coming to the realization that he had to apply his "work harder than others" attitude into every action he did. Leading him to improvise and minimize the amount damage his quirk would inflict on him while still getting results. Can't wait for next week! |
 |
| I wanna go and read the manga so badly! I need to control myself... Not comparing the content, but this gives me Hunter x Hunter feelings. Makes me happy. |

The anime is very faithful to the manga thus far, so I'd recommend waiting until it's over before moving onto the manga. I will say that the last chapter felt very Hunter x Hunter in terms of tone if you know what I mean. |

yuiyuigahama said: Doesn't work that way, the first 50 metres are slower than the second half in a 100 metres race.loved the episode but i have a minor complaint: why does izuku run a 7 second 50 m when he had all that training with all might? im izukus age and my 100 m time is 11-12 seconds which means my 50 would be like 6 seconds ish. and thats considering minimal training tbh because my schools track program isnt very good. shouldnt he be running at least a 6.5? Anyways, this remains very enjoyable and even the pacing feels right, too bad the anime isn't long running. My only complaint is that the humour is really awful. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Another awesome episode! It was nice getting a bit more introduction to some of the characters. And of course Izuku was great when he used just one finger to throw that ball! Can't wait for next week when he (hopefully) proves to Bakugo that he's no pushover. |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| Man, the pacing is slightly slow but it's the only way to stay in the arc without overbounding to the next season. Can't wait for more |
| That was a great episode! I liked seeing Deku get creative like that to use his power wisely. Really entertaining from start to finish |

| Watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, you wont be disappointed. http://q.pokefarm.org/user/Uran10 Check out My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEz0PrV3Vh-ksW0mzOWnnSQ  |
| My issue with Deku was mostly his seiyuu sounded cringeworthy everytime he was crying or whining, he has been HEAVILY CARRIED by the OST, good animation and the other seiyuus. I laughed at Aoyama, dude looks like Jojo character. Urakara continues being a cutie. |
| I actually liked this episode, though I'm not too fond of Deku character and the ending part when all might said "he's so cool" was so cringy. 4/5. It took awhile but this series is looking to get past its boring phase, it doesn't offer anything new but it looks like it could still be a enjoyable/decent anime. Hopefully I don't eat my words.

| No onion-cutting ninjas this episode. But All might fangirling for the MC is somewhat cute ^^ PS. im wondering about the times of the 50m run - most of them are not even fast- considering they use quirks its quite bad imo. |

Comander-07 said: PS. im wondering about the times of the 50m run - most of them are not even fast- considering they use quirks its quite bad imo. Not all the quirks are speed/power related. For example, one of the character's quirk is How is that going to increase their speed for the run? Yeah this happened again later into the manga, it was so funny seeing Bakugou yelling "DIE!!!" as he Fai said: Okay can't do this. This continues to be awful. IT's really beyond me on how this can have a score that is above 6/10(which already is way too generous for a shonen). MC again spent time crying, making want to punch him in a face again. Haven't hated an MC so hard since Nardo. Holy shit, stop whining and crying every single episode you insufferable idealistic brat. At least other shonen MCs spend time wasting the talents of their VAs actually shouting at their enemies something or declaring their attacks. - The same formula again was used. - The same cringe again was experienced. - Absolutely nothing of importance happened that would indicate any sort of direction beyond the incredibly generic and cringe "crybaby tries to git gud" kind of story. Midway through an episode had to pause and go make me some latte just to take a break from this show. Overall Boku No Hero is slow and typical "more of the same" shonen show with an unlikable MC and the plot as basic as it can be. It does not portray or explore any sort of interesting narrative the setting could provide. The characters remain one-dimensional both in their pursuits and in their "black and white morality" alignments and the show barely trudges forward shouting at the viewer the same old shonen message of how you have to not give up and how good deeds are rewarded, blah blah blah. Its especially jarring when we have shows like ConREvo airing from the very same studio and providing an actual exploration of the 70-80's superhero zeitgeist and social commentary that follows in terms of concepts of propaganda, utilitarianism, power of media and the idea of blurring black and white. It really helps me put BokuHero's completely empty narrative into a perspective. In comparison to that, superhero setting of BokuHero is just a window-dressing for a very typical narrative that has been done to death. Why is Bones adapting this show, again? They are way too good of a studio that could have been allocating their resources to other far better shows instead of wasting time on this. 2/5 for episode. Dropped. 1. izuku didn't cry this episode. 2. we're only 6 chapters into this 88-chapter-story. What kind of development are you expecting? Have you seen how this episode is used to introduce all the main characters and their quirks? The main plot hasn't started yet. Hell, the main antagonist hasn't even been introduced it. Characters are 1D because they'd only been introduced. 3. "Black and White morality" is 100% false. This anime is far from the "hero are good, villain are bad" normality; it'll show how there's no heroes or villains, only the gray area. Later on, you'll see how So the "actual exploration of the 70-80's superhero zeitgeist and social commentary that follows in terms of concepts of propaganda, utilitarianism, power of media and the idea of blurring black and white" will all, definitely, happen later. Sadly this anime only has 1 cour. If it has 2 cours (hopefully), you'll get to see all this. So my advice for you is: If you like shows that have those social commentary, power of media things you mentioned, keep on watching BokuHero. You'll end up loving it. You'll regret dropping it right now because this show fits all your criteria. |

| Pretty cool episode. Wasn't expected that result so that's nice. I love all the different powers these characters have, makes it fun to watch. |
 |
| another great episode imo, but now i kinda feel this episode was slow paced if this series only has 13 epiosde. either way, i really like this episode. didn't expect he would use his finger instead of his hand tho. LOL Ochako's record when she threw the ball xD well, it was obvious. Midoriya was very cool in this episode. looking foward for the battle in the next episode. |
 |
| Was really liking the pacing in the first episodes but now it feels a little bit slow but besides that it was a pretty good episode. It's alot of fun to watch, looking foward for the next one!! |

I initially decided to watch this since I genuinely like comic books and superhero genre and this seemed to have quite popularity, but this does not seem to actually USE the superhero genre in any meaningful way. In fact beyond visuals, it does not FEEL like superhero genre. Its especially jarring when we have in the same season other superhero narratives like ConREvo airing from the very same studio and providing an actual exploration of the 70-80's superhero zeitgeist and social commentary that follows in terms of concepts of propaganda, utilitarianism, power of media and the idea of blurring black and white. It really helps me put BokuHero's completely empty narrative into a perspective. The setting and the comic book genre overall provides a lot of areas to write a compelling story. In this case are made by same studio, both cover superhero narrative and deal with superhero genre themes and exploration of justice and yet Boku Hero does not seem to actually use it. Now I am not expecting BokuHero to be on the level of Watchmen, Conrevo or other superhero works, but Boku Hero does not benefit in any way from its setting . Superhero setting of BokuHero is just a window-dressing for a very typical narrative that has been done to death. Why is Bones adapting this show, again? They are way too good of a studio that could have been allocating their resources to other far better shows instead of wasting time on this. It hurts my heart, but despite this being Bones I see no redeeming qualities for this. 2/5 for episode. I gave the show more chances than I usually do. By every right I would have dropped it by Ep2 or 3 but I usually don't drop 12 episode shows and since this was supposedly quite popular I gave more and more chances each week. Now, halfway through since it is 100% sure this won't change or redeem in my eyes, I don't see a reason to continue watching this, so actually dropped. Mod Edit: He has permission to post this.

| Whoa that teacher and his quirk OMG |
Fai said: snib. Honestly m8, I don't really get what you were expecting from this anime. It's a shounen anime, there isn't going to be any in-depth social commentary, or political drama in here, it's just supposed to be a dumb, fun, show made for the childrens. Don't go into a shounen expecting a seinen. |
