That's a wise decision, as it's easy to have any anime adaptation to become a bloated mess, in order to space the episodes apart from the manga.
Toei gonna eat this shit up!

Toei will be too busy with World Trigger Second Series or BLack Clover, I pray.
...right, confused it with Jojo.
What would changing the studio do?
I wonder if Bones and the main players on the production staff would only agree to a 13 episode series.
Change the animation quality and the direction a whole lot?
Bones is a pretty busy company, they also have a lot of stuff lined up for the next few broadcast seasons. If this series does well in Japan (I dont see why it wouldn't) Jump mightr be interested in whoring out the franchise and turning it into something that has a lot more releases.
I don't know if the blame lies at Bones for the anime being 13 episodes when the TV slot it's running on has a lot of weird stuff going on with its scheduling. The studio was contracted to do the anime, so if they were going to demand something unreasonable, the sponsors and right holders would have taken their ball elsewhere. This was likely something all parties agreed on before the show even started.
Not that I get what the issue in it being 13 episodes in the first place. Many other anime get another season a year later.
I'd imagine so, which wouldn't be the best idea honestly. The positive reception I am seeing indicates that people like what Bones is doing here, so why change it?
But does Shueisha want to whore out what is best positioned to be its "next big thing"? From what I gathered a lot of people want to see the anime adaptation do the story right rather than just tossing it out as quickly as possible without any care. So what's the point in just rushing along with a different creative team and studio when they took so much care in getting right at the start?

Better than that I'd hope. D:
Well for one thing it's going to lead to only a very small bit of the manga being adapted, and it sticks out to have a 1 cour adaptation when all of Shounen Jump's properties are being adapted as 2 cour seasonal shows these days, except this one, maybe the biggest of them yet.
not surprised Bones nailed it but the 13 eps thing is interesting. i would hope that means we can expect the same (or higher) quality as the first ep since they don't have so much to do.
cause the show is just an ad for the manga and the merch. they need to get it pumped out ASAP.

I still remember how insane it was the rumour that Umakoshi and Nagasaki were working at Bones for the anime. It was too much of a dream come true that I didn't believe it, and then it turned out to be true lol I was completely speechless. I can't imagine anyone else doing. The first episode was everything I wanted it to be and more.
Any doubt about the quality of this adaptation had been washed away by this first episode. If they maintain it throughout, then it is going to end up being a very good show.
The amount getting adapted shouldn't matter as much as how well it transitions into the anime episodes. It's very easy to burn through the material quickly because there isn't a whole lot there yet, so them taking their time with the beginning and doing it as best as they could is more important that getting ahead with whatever happens later.
As for comparing with the other WSJ anime adaptations, you just pointed out how it has the potential to be the biggest out of them all given its appeal. It's going to be treated a little differently, very carefully so not to ruin its chances, and then you add in the time slot it's on having what ever is going. So yeah, things happened that caused it to end up with 13 episodes for the time being.

The length of a show doesn't really have much to do with that, but how well a show is received and how good it does it job in being and ad for the manga and merch.
Otherwise AoT and Tokyo Ghoul season 1 wouldn't have done so well as they did. The marketing can take care of pumping out whatever it takes to sell, the show just needs to do its job in generating good buzz around the property.
I think Black Clover is due for an anime.

A match made in... well, not heaven. But also not hell. Is there some kind of mediocre afterlife?
Purgatory.

Black Clover anime will likely air this fall probably to be announced in a few months

Just saw the first episode. I fucking loved it. That scene.... I definitely signed up for this Feels Trip but I still wasn't ready. Seeing that scene fully voiced and animated packs a completely different punch than seeing it in the manga. Mah boy Izuku, you will definitely be a great hero. :,D Anywho, the action was pretty great too. Bones putting in some work. I hope they'll be able to faithfully recreate some of the later fight scenes. Horikoshi has a very distinct style that will be challenging to translate into animated form. Maximum effort, Bones. If you fuck this up i'll have a bone to pick with you. Heheh. Cant wait for episode 2.
Funimation. You need to sign up but you can watch on the free trial.

Hulu, bro. It's only 8 bucks. Use a free trial for the first month and then get a subscription for the next two months. Just give in.
I love this scene so much...
I was hoping someone had gifed this lol
Everything I wanted and more. The pacing in this was aces, the voices are great (Even if I expected a more passive voice for Midoriya) and the animation... the animation captured the manga to perfection!
All Might really deserves recognition. The clashing style between golden comic book era and modern anime was my main fear and somehow BONES worked its magic and absolutely nailed the look.
What makes me happy is the great reception by those who are new to the series. My newsfeed is drowned in hype and optimism for this show. This is it guys, One for All.

It surpassed my expectations. It looks great, sounds great, and the characters are on point.
It should, and hopefully will, continue past these 13 episodes.

Deku's facial expressions are the best part of the show so far. Based Studio Bones. You saved shonen and anime.
Edit: WARNING: The next few posts are filled with spoiler tagged manga spoilers, just remember that if its spoiler tagged, its a manga spoiler, so be sure to avoid reading them.
It has so many exploitable facial expressions already. I'll be spamming them all over gaming side.

For real:
Replace the all might posters with gaming posters, add in some hype train on the other wall, and you've got yourself the perfect pre-E3 hype gif (well, excluding the big ones that are usually created in the two weeks before E3 haha)
I imagine it's more of a case of splits cours are becoming more and more common. (especially with Bones)
I am just assuming that a second season will air this fall also 13 episodes.
heck it's a weekly show if you adapt 2 chapters per episode and do 11-13 episode seasons you can just do every other season for the entirety of its run.

Also a smaller cut version of excited Deku
Second one has shitty tumblr filtr :/
Kind of slow, no? I'm pretty sure the first chapter didn't end when he meets All Might, also the scene with the mom crying and apologizing to Deku was much more powerful in the manga for some reason. Good start otherwise, love All Might voice it's pretty much perfect.

after watching the episode again, i am amazed how close to the manga they actually got. I mean, ive seen adaptions before, but some of the scenes are 1:1.
Great show, will be watching weekly and buying the blurays.

what? you didn't like (manga spoilers)
a shonen tournament arc!?
I stopped reading when they (late manga spoilers) get to
summer camp thingy
it's enjoyable but it's not FMA or One Piece.
I'm still waiting for someone to redo all might's punch with this music instead of what was there.
it just didn't feel right
it just didn't feel right
I dunno I didn't read that far, just 5-6 chapters or so. What I didn't like is that
the story goes from being about a guy without powers wanting to become a hero to a guy who inherits the Chosen One (TM) powers because of sheer luck, and goes on his way to become a hero. It's so... generic. I thought it was going to explore what it really means to be a hero outside of powers and stuff, and that maybe he creates a suit and uses all his analytic knowledge about superpowers to basically be the Batman of this universe. But nope. Chosen One (TM) superpowers!!! Zzzzzz.
Its all about execution.
He's much more of a
glass cannon
Seriously, he gets really fucked up in some chapters because of it
edit: Seriously, every time I think the manga is going one way it goes the other. If there is one thing i would never call the manga, its generic.
