Christ, no wonder it's only 13 episodes. Why the rush, WSJ?! Well, still a good thing that it went to BONES rather than Toei or Pierrot...
 
Do they mean production or preproduction? That would be an insanely long period for actual production.

I suspect they mean the entire process from the initial decision to animate the series, so mostly pre-production. Obviously Bones couldn't have been animating Bungo Stray Dogs since 2014.

I'm not really asking, but I wonder if anyone is going to call Bakugou on being not just unheroic or self-centered, but a complete psycho. He seems just about ready to transfer to "My Villain Academia".

They are really giving Kaminari (best) and Kirishima (best outfit) so much screentime and lines. I was afraid they would be so minor in the anime but they arent. Actually, by my count they seem to be speaking and have much more presence than 75% of the class including Todoroki, which is odd. I can't remember even one line Todoroki has said (Though he looks like he speaks next episode).

Good episode though Im surprised people in class arent talking more on Bakugou Midoriya beyond Ochako. Friendship fight upcoming I hope.

Lmao at that costume being obvious :D
Another great episode. Altough..jeez.... that Bakugou dude needs to be put down fast, because he's essentially a damn villain right now.

Boku no Hero Academia Episode 6:

Ugh, it is too early in the damn morning for some of this Shonen cheese that gets passed off as emotion. That being said, another competent but unmemorable episode in the life and times of Deku Scrub. Indeed, it is time for the almost bog standard shonen rivalry showdown. I say almost if only because I am being spared the pretense of Bakugo and Deku being any sort of friends. Also, considering how female superheros are depicted, Ochako should be thanking her stars that the default is a full bodysuit rather than some sort of permutation on the sexy bikini.

I'm really enjoying this show. Great production values, interesting premise and likable protagonists. Here's hoping they announce the dub airing on Toonami. I'll hold off listening to the dub just in case.

My only complaint is how every character gives Bakugou's asshole behavior a pass. Even the adults just let his open bullying and antisocial attitude go completely unpunished. Does UA not have a test to weed out potential super villains?

It'll be clearer once we get class interaction, but everybody in 1-A recognizes Bakugou is a shithead. They just ignore him and be friends with Deku instead.

also Bakugou isn't evil, he's just an asshole
 
God dammit these episodes go by way too fast with way too little happening in them. That and the start and stop of the episodes never makes any sense to me. The whole Deku/Urararararara v. Iida/Bakugou fight should've been one entire episode and not broken up.

So if there's 7 episodes left to go I'm going to assume that the first season will end after
the Unforeseen Simulation Joint Arc.

Bit of a shame that it might end so early. Even though One Punch Man similarly ended before a lot of things got going, the Alien Conquerors Arc at least rounded out Saitama's story up until then full circle in a rather explosive, satisfying fashion. Kinda worried that Deku isn't going to get a lot of room to shine for the rest of the running.
 
Deku and the series is beginning to hit its stride, yeah its shonen cheese and Shard pointed out but its imo very well done shonen cheese and sometimes thats okay. Is it okay for the level of hype the series got from manga fans is up for personal opinion obviously.

I feel it's shonen done very well. And it has a very good dynamic with heroes and villains having influence on this society.

Deku had his own Civil War callback moment here.

I do hate that this flashbacks to stuff that happened earlier in the episode though, the audience isn't that stupid.

All Might is being played By Christopher "Vegeta" Sabat.

"Deku" Did anyone else have Rob Schneider in Billy Madison on their mind when he was saying "You can do it?"

Not bad overall, but the pacing still feels fixed to pick up on one dramatic moment and focus the whole episode on that. Just a weird presentation style that I can't remember any other shows using before. Show still has my interest though.

There are Star Wars references in a few different places in the manga/anime

I wonder what invisible girl's deal is. Is she just invisible or does is that just part of her ability like Invisible Woman from F4.
