For a proof of concept it certainly was effective. I'm not sure if it was a spoilerfest or not though.

Endride Episode 4
Endride was made by people who think it's witty and fun to have the main characters constantly fight. Hell, this episode ends with the idiotic leads beating the shit out of each other because having them talk like humans would be potentially interesting.
As much as I want to make fun of Shun, Emilio is dangerous in his stupidity. He apparently hasn't given any thought to the ramifications of killing the king? Only thoughts about how he wants to? What about huge political upheaval?
The fact that it'll leave your countrymen potentially vulnerable? What type of person wouldn't think about that at all?

Oh yesssss
Well episode 1 is nice. The rest maybe not so much.
Yep looks about right. The DVDs were quite bad and I think this might have been shot on 35mm or at least looks like it.
My guess is it will. Bandai is fond of how these have been doing so far but it might be 6 months or so.
I'd say the DVDs are quite dull. Bear in mind HD colourspace is wider than what you find in DVD so a BD transfer can look brighter and more saturated. Having seen G Gundam cells the BD is closer to the original intent.
Episodes 2-6 are basically a much expanded version of ep 0 so yeah, to an extent it was. The good news is the second half remains uncharted territory for oyu.
In before people say that second half sucks.
Picked up.

Not particularly funny or anything but an alright introduction to characters with some storyboarding choices being very reminiscent of Shaft.

If you're looking for this to be funny, then maybe you'll actually prefer when the show shifts to being an ecchi comedy in episode 4.

I really like the sequences of the three lead girls preparing for a big event but this episode had little of them because they were constantly being disturbed by the other members who think it's unfair that they didn't get a chance. It's understandable but I felt they came off as more of a nuisance than something meaningful. More so considering Producer-san just didn't want to reveal their plan until the end where they literally had a protest.

OW! that looks so bad animated, flailing around like that.

Izuku gets FUCKED UP in the manga. Glad they aren't toning that down in the anime.
Well, I didn't have any preconceptions really but the premiere already certainly didn't give me the impression it's going for a serious narrative.

1.5 Chapter again, and we're at the end of chapter 4. I didn't realize how emotional the anime gets, multiple times. Anyway, the episode was over very fast, the pace felt better in this one. It helps that there was a bit more action.
Yeah, it's kind of disgusting. lol

The city of Lukuss is such a dump. It was obvious before but in these episodes its like another level. What happened between Tomaya and is dad is just another level of fucked up.
A lot of the things I thought would happen are beginning to. Characters themselves realize that the city is a stagnant structure that can never change. Its telling that after the big events of the last arc, the staus quo has still been mostly maintained. No one really advanced(except for Ichise) or fell after Yoshii's actions because the city simply doesn't allow them to.
And as was hinted at so far, Ichise is perhaps the one character that can break the cycle and promote change in the city. It is worth noting that he is the only socially mobile character in the whole show, even though it seems like he randomly stumbles into it. Yoshii even seemed to recognize that he had something special in him but it will be interesting to see how different he could be. For example, being an "outsider" marked Yoshii for failure and he was ultimately swallowed up by the city, so the fact that Ichise is an "insider/native" must have some significance.

Why did this episode take so long to get from point A to point B?
MC kills the boss in one punch and also saves a girl, at that point it was pretty obvious that he was gonna pass (all the side-characters even acknowledged how good he was!). But for some reason we still need to spend 10 minutes to watch some depressed boy sobbing in his room before someone tells him that "killing the boss in one punch while saving a girl" is good enough to pass the exam.
It's like the show wants to make MC feel bad at every point, just to then make him feel better and create an emotional scene, but to me it feels so artificial that I don't really care about the scene anymore.

But that is what makes Endride so good and so awesome to look forward too.
Agree with the second paragraph. He realy needs to listen to Shun.

I feel completely the opposite of you on this episode. This adaptation is perfect and they do succeed in making me care for the MC.
MHA continues to be fantastic 10/10
Re the school discussion a while back: Listless Tanaka's school is, like most anime schools, based on a real school
also mha is great you dweebs

I like how russia-chan has become the new tsuntsun so they made Mashiro go full dere. Guessing it's not too late for this to go grim if they wanted to, hope there's some kind of consequence for MC essentially completely ignoring an SOS from her best friend. What a weird direction for that cliffhanger to go.

Because, unlike bad adaptations, this show isn't rushing to get to the really awesome parts (and there are some really freaking awesome parts later on).
Instead, it's taking its time and making everything at this point in the manga feel as meaningful and genuine as possible.

That must be a really affluent city, an escalator in a school really? I can only think of one or two school districts in my area with schools that would be close to that. The auditorium image too, how many students even go there?

So GuP der Film will get addtional screenings until the retail release.
That are some incredible legs for an anime movie.

I would eyeball it at upwards of a thousand students. Their website is a goddamn mess though, at least on desktop...
Not just that, I asked Narag on twitter what the appeal to the show is and he said "the meaning of being a hero" which is truly just the whole point of the series so far from what I've seen.
To understand that meaning, a lot of situational exposition is important to justify the choice and leave a sense of anticipation which is what the show is pulling off. If you're missing that, it is unfortunately going to feel like a slog.
My Hero Academia 04
Another great episode, as said I really think the long moments of verbal anticipation and situational exposition has reasons that justify it and feel meaningful.
I particularly like when shows try to relay morals and tackle real life issues/problems.

Actually, looking at that auditorium pic again, that kinda looks like it's only about half as big again as the size of my high school. So maybe around 1500 kids. But my school was I guess for americans a combined middle/high school, so 6 years... this school appears to just be the last 3 years of high school, like most japanese schools... p. big.
