I like it.
Saw this awesome drawing done by the artist behind MHA, wasn't sure if it belonged in here or some pokemon thread.
Big fan of his art-style
Charizard needs to work on his pec game, though.

I think the "You too can be a Hero" was beautiful in this version, the sunset and the building to it delivered in spades to me. Judging by the preview we are going to go with a faster pace starting next episode. Also BONES is putting work with the extra details that are usually not the focus of the manga and expanding upon them, they really are working out of love to the series so far.

Excellent episode especially for the Bakugou and Midoriya stuff. I love how Bakugou even admitted to the childhood friends part and at least somewhat felt a bit saddened over how Midoriya was, though somewhat inspired by him. The ending moments was best especially how he was trying his hardest to not express thanks but still ended up right in front of Midoriya and Midoriya even knew. Best friends.

It looks like the pace will be slower for the anime, so I suggest reading the manga to catch up. It's really good and the pace is nice so you'll up to par in no time.I started reading the manga right after I marathoned reading One-Punch Man, and while I really liked it I stopped just because I was nearing the end of the manga high I just had.
After watching the first episode of the anime (and actually crying D'I am debating if I should just splurge on the manga or wait every week for a new episode.
I loved the first episode so much, man. I love everything about superhero-y adaptations.

Yeah, the pacing for this show is really confusing as I don't think I've ever seen the first chapter of a manga spread over 2 episodes. Makes me curious about the pacing of the rest of the show because that can make or break a show a lot of the time.
THAT SAID this was still a very good episode. Some of the directing is really weird and off-point, with either close-ups or movement/faces not fitting tone but sometimes it's fucking on like Donkey Kong. You have sorta weird shots like Deku's sliding into frame reaction to All-Might's puny form or Bakugou's yelling at Deku and turning around and Deku's sweat-drop reaction but then you have Bakugou's look of help which was drawn beautifully and expressively and felt so sadly claustrophobic that tight on his face with incredibly expressive eyes and the absolutely phenomenal ending scene (marred only by anime's normal over-repetition of flashbacks lessening the blow of hearing him say "That's not what I wanted you to say") with his clutching his chest and crying and All Might's wonderful delivery of "You can be a hero" In the manga it always read more as he shouted it approvingly or encouragingly but I have to say him saying it like he did in the anime made it so much more emotionally effective.
I still love the idea of All Might. You have all these heroes that can shoot water to fight fires or a woman who is really big but can't control it or have wood controlly powers and then All Might literally changes the weather just based on the wind pressure from one of his punches. It's so great.

MHA chapters are dense af, and chapter 1 was 30 pages instead of the normal 18.

1st chapter was like 50pages iirc
More than likely they had to stretch out at least one episode in order to finish where they want to with only 13 episodes.

I get that but considering most manga cover like...multiple chapters in their first episode it's just an odd way to do it. Odd, not bad. It just makes me wary about later pacing as that could mean they rush stuff to reach certain points (which is a show killer) or elongate other chapters/plot points which can drag a show down. Obviously anime as a different medium needs to adjust it's pacing to flow differently than a manga but these are issues a lot of anime have that I'm hopeful this one will not.
Also, the voice acting is on point. Deku, Bakugou and especially All-Might are perfectly cast

episode 2
this is a lot better then the boring episode 1, it did a wonderful job restoring hope.
much stronger direction then the first episode, better use of music and all might voice is interesting to listen to then the others.
Goes to show much a difference having a stronger episode director makes.
theres no way this anime is 13 episode only if the last two episode coverd half a chapter each.

VA is defo on point, even side pro hero characters sound great.
Wow this is an OUTSTANDING adaption so far.
I am enjoying it even more than the manga so far. Colour, sound and motion add so much.
I wish I had friends who are into anime

It seems to be the case that timeslot issues screwed it out of a second cour for now.

I don't really understand, can the show not simply change timeslots? A year gap between 13 episodes is a big deal.

Is it really a bad thing to wait. The next season could be a 26 episodes and more of the manga content could be covered. The manga is clearly experiencing explosive sales just from ep1 so its not like it wont get a second season.

If you don't mind you could join facebook anime communities online or go to local conventions, I am fairly sure there are anime fans pretty much everywhere nowadays. I know I met most of my anime-watching friends on those (and college). Although it was my current gf who got me into anime seven years ago.
Don't do it, Anime is for jerks.
That is true, I forgot about that.
Forgot I said anything dan2026, you don't need friends, neogaf is your friend!
NeoGAF is for jerks too, tho.
Most 1st chapters are longer then average actually.
This is a real premium timeslot.

Yep they have to set up premise and shit, most 1st chapters are like 35+ and second chapters are almost always around 25pages.
Well thats what i remember from Bakuman

All Might saying "Holy Shit" cracked me up, lol. He needs to say more english words.
What the fuck is going on with the rest of the world and quirks anyways?

Episode 2
Another great episode. Bones is knocking it out of the park with this. Midoriyas struggle with accepting his 'reality', but ultimately still choosing to fight it, and then at the end he gets to hear the words he always wanted to hear, spoken by his biggest idol were soooo goood. So damn emotional.
I'm so happy for Horikoshi. After getting cancelled 2 times, he's finally found success with his 3rd try.
And I wouldn't be worried about the future pacing or anything. Bones have given this really special care so far, I can't really see them rushing things for some arbitrary reason now.
They might have just adapted half a chapter with each episode so far, but the pacing has been excellent.

Some of that's the fault of the source material, not the director.

This is my question. We know that the first quirk'd person was born in China, but after that, no clue.
Not only more teeth, but they're pointing outward like a creepy monster.
Well, they showed up all over the world, so what we're seeing now probably happens elsewhere but to varying degrees of danger. I imagine All Might was stationed in a more intense location but moved after what happened to him.

Fantastic second episode. I'm almost regretting reading the manga because I think this adaption has actually been superior so far.
Calm down people let's not start saying crazy things.
Is All Might actually Japanese or?
Yes he is.
