physics. When the water all rushed back into the middle it collided with itself and went the only direction that offered less resistance - upwards.

the real problem is that it took like five minutes to do it because of monologuing instead of doing it in less than a second which is what should've happened

well,maybe because it's just an anime,the physics will be broken too.

I think the problem, if I can put a general catch-all to it, is that they're trying to make it a One Piece or Bleach or Naruto when it's not. They want it to catch on with the same popularity but to be blunt it's a very different type of manga (and why I loathe any time someone compares it to Naruto). As a result they pace it as if it was a big series with the hope of hundred episodes down the pipeline when the manga is paced at a blistering speed that never rests on any one thing too long, a stark contrast to many big shonens nowadays. Due to this slowing down of the pacing, extension of episodes and such EVERYTHING about the original's timing is thrown off; jokes extend way too long when they were one off asides in between speech bubbles, explanations of powers that took a single panel take 30 seconds, Horikoshi's incredible attention to fill his backgrounds with other actions and events occurring is relegated to standing still images, people get a wrong idea about the personalities or feelings of characters because it extends so long that all they can think about is weeks of crying or angsting, flashbacks take up half the runtime like they do to fill time in every long-running shonen despite not happening nearly as often or taking as long in the manga. I mean, you can pretty much trace everything back to them wanting to make this a new Naruto and as a result slowing it down to milk it as much as they can and dumbing it down to those levels when the manga trusted it's readers to put 2 and 2 together without a fold-out instruction sheet.

I think that's what it really is and what's really made this a subpar adaptation for me. It's not that it's not sticking close enough to the manga it's that it takes the parts of the manga that works and attempts to replace them with an animes parts that never really worked to begin with.

It's still an enjoyable watch and I like tuning in every week but when you really look at it you can kinda see how they're sabotaging themselves by treating it like Naruto or One Piece when it's more like a show that should get a couple cours and not be a long-running never-ending fanfare.

Whenever I look up past chapters to reference something, I'm always surprised how low the chapter numbers are for what I'm looking for. The manga seriously runs fast.

I really don't get the pacing complaints. Other than the first couple episodes, it's been going at around 2 chapters an episode. That's pretty standard for these type of adaptions. It's not anywhere near Naruto or One Piece level, which can have less than a single chapter per episode and still have filler on top of that.

Again, if this show was around 24-26 episodes, I feel like most people wouldn't have a problem with the pacing. Everything about this show feels like it was intended to be 2-cours. Hopefully the second season goes that route.

The reason for it is just the short length of the show. There's no way to comfortably fit the arcs following USJ in 13 eps with normal pacing. And they got 13 eps out of bad luck, not their fault. Nothing to do with One Piece or whatever.

tbh, I didn't really notice the pacing until you guys started bringing it up, and people I talk to in other places don't notice or complain about the pacing. it feels like you guys are biased by the complaints in the thread. It's not some horrible atrocity pacing, comparing the One Piece anime's pacing to it is kinda insulting

It's not the worst but it's certainly not the best.

To me the core of the pacing problem is simply this: stuff doesn't move fast enough to give the same impact as the manga.

yeah, that's my only complaint too, but I'm pretty sure it'll be fixed with season 2.

can always reread the manga, I like comics and books over shows and movies anyway

They didn't explode. When the water converged it created a huge splash. The more powerful the force the bigger the splash will be.

This episode wrapped up to Chapter 15.

For reference:
In Naruto, we would have JUST hit the end of the FIRST Zabuza encounter.
In Bleach, Ichigo would still just barely be learning the mechanics of becoming a Soul Reaper.
In One Piece, Luffy is just meeting Buggy's crew.

The manga's on Chapter 93, and even then:

In Naruto, it's just the beginning of Rasengan training.
In Bleach, Rukia's execution is still a way's off, and Ichigo's just met Hanataro.
In One Piece, Luffy VS Arlong @ Arlong Park is just getting underway.

Hero Academia's pacing is seriously CRAZY fast.
When you think back on the number of individual arcs that have played out so far, it feels like Academia's been running for several years, but it's really only approaching 2.

What's with this weird obsession to keep comparing the pacing to long running continuous anime's? The better comparison would be one punch man or any other short season anime.

Because this is being paced like an adaptation of a long running shonen manga, which it is. The fact it got a 13 episode 1st season is because the anime started pre-production so early into the manga's lifespan. Its better paced compared to world trigger and worse compared to shokugeki both shonen jump adaptations.

Just seems like every time somebody criticises something (if I can even call it that) the first thing people do is try and throw other shows under the bus. Souma wasn't badly paced btw I'd say these two are pretty on par with the pacing actually.

Because it gives some perspective, comparing where the new series is in terms of where would the long running series be gives a very clear picture of how fast it is going.

I have to say this anime has become quite boring, every other episode is a wait for deku to use his powers, then that sound track plays ever other time that happens is blasted very loudly and speed lines all over the screen. I don't feel this adapation really adds much, I never once felt "oh that's good take on that scene", all it does is highlights how repetive it's gotten, it was awesome the first time but it has lost it's luster quite some time ago.

USJ is a lame arc in the manga but you can at least blow through it fast enough so don't have think about how lame it all was.

I like grape boys design, I acutally want him to be a more meaningful character but god damn his got no redeeming quality, his a joke character that isn't even the least bit funny.His a pervy loser through and through, he feels like his there to appeal to the otakus.

By episode 10 bleach was giving you the awesomeness that is don kanonji, naruto & team was training to face zabuza for another great round 2 and One piece captain kuro arc was kicking off into high gear (2nd or 3rd if you count axe hand morgan), yu yu hakusho was already in it's first tournement arc with kuwabara receiving his cool spirt sword.

Going back to watch the 10th episode of those animes made me realise this adapations is quite dull, it lacks energy, variety and vision.If feels a little bit like something made by a machine.

I am being very unfairly harsh on this anime it's not bad but am just dissapointed most episodes pretty much hinges on "deku uses his super strength moment", it doesn't do enough outside of those moments to entertain and I don't feel USJ arc is good enough to be final to anything it's pretty much just taster arc, while the arc after is a more meaty one.

Yaoyorozu's dub voice is a bit deep. Then again, Colleen Clinkenbeard does have a deep voice.

Apparently ratings for the show are down in Japan. Hopefully the manga's popularity allows future seasons.

Dub is great, I cant wait to buy it on BD. All of the classmates are awesome

Kirishima has a hot voice, Kaminari has my favorite voice, and Bakugou continues to impress. I like what little we heard of Ojiro.

Just need a clear line for Todoroki.

Well someone translated the rateing on reddit

ep 6 "Rage, You Damned Nerd =tv rating 2.8

ep 7 ""Deku vs. Kacchan"" = tv rating 2.3

ep8 "Bakugō's Starting Line" = tv rating 1.7

For a shounen Jump titan it's not doing good, it's doing worse then Magi, blue excorist and fma brotherhood which aired in that block.

I don't see (investors)bones falling over themselfs to green light a second season like Toei was with world trigger.

Thankfully the manga is a big deal at this point, I am pretty sure it's getting a second season at some point imo.

Edit: Apparently I misremembered a scene in this episode.

Tsuyu's Keros were adorbs.

That scene with Tsuyu and Mineta was great.

Huh?

Went back and checked, they didn't censor anything. The manga cut away at the same part, the anime showed more by adding the sound effects and reactions.

Oh shit, really? Oh I guess the later on part was shown but not as impactful as I thought it should be.
They make it quite clear in the comic that his face is basically crushed and he shouldn't be able to use his eyes anymore

Ok this episode was pure hype. I really wasn't expecting Aizawa to get rekt like that, but in his defence he was pretty cool before getting overcome by their numbers.

What chapter of the manga did this ep cover?

Yep, this was great.
Tension was through the roof throughout.

I loved how everyone of them could handle things on their own but in the end they were still outclassed by far.
