Isn't the setting that the main character can't be a superhero because he is an inferior human and whatever he does it wouldn't change the fact?
They've been showing that cover on plenty of their tweets for a good couple of weeks already, lol
It's even plastered on a giant billboard somewhere.

Yes, but it will never change the fact that MHA is the opposite of becoming a hero by your own efforts.

I actually looked up the wrong person for Hiro Kaburaki. (Well played me)
Yeah, I have more faith now.
Yes, it started off like that and the whole thing felt pathetic. It wasn't only until the end of the second episode(which is from what I read the end of the first chapter in the manga) that we hear: the power didn't matter but his selflessness does.

Yes and no, it's hard to explain spoiler free, but..... There is a LOT of effort there.

pfffffhahhahahaha!
Wow. I just watched the preview for the final episode. lol
Cyborg Ikoma and Trojan Horse Mumei. What the hell is going on. lol
The show will deliver today.
Wow this seems like some otaku bait shit at its worst.
Holy crap.XD

This feels like Alien vs Predator, whoever wins we lose
Seriously though this summer season as a whole feels really empty for things I actually am interested in, assuming CR gets Shokugeki that puts both CR and Funi at even for series I'm interested in checking out (2 each).
If I ever decide to use an iPhone, I would their official iPhone cases. One of those that they showed was indeed this picture, lol
There is, but he still could never have become a hero without All Might basically giving him a free pass by essentially the luck of him making a good impression on a celebrity.
Unless that's secretly all just a ruse and he always had the power. Because that would actually be as awesome as it is stupid.
Not really, Deku made considerable effort to earn it and to some degree the show relied on its superhero fiction/plot device (with One for All being passed on to him) which IMO is excusable because realistically, there are no literal super heroes but if you consider the same themes/events in another setting - say, an artist, it doesn't seem that far fetched if not far fetched at all. Lets say a reputed artist with a particular style of painting were to pass on his talent/quality to a disciple who he found to be dedicated and has the right set of characteristic qualities but utterly lacking in skill or mentors - it fits in well. One for All required his body to be capable enough to handle without him dying which in this case, is similar to learning the basics of the art before getting try the real deal.

Man...would u get embarrassed when you try to buy the DVD of this show from a shop? Next thing, it will be one of the female character and almost naked at the front of the DVD cover.
You guys really want to call something that generic a "trainwreck" at this point?
It's just a very typical "hero gets a power-up and goes to save the heroine who is controlled by the villains" conclusion.
That's like one of the most common ways to end a JRPG and many an action anime, so it's more boring and unoriginal than unexpected or incompetent.
If anything, I'm thankful that Kabaneri introduced me to Maxwell Powers playing as Suzuki-san. Can't wait to hear all of him as the system announcer when KOF 14 releases later this year.

So I'm dating this girl, and she is an avid show watcher, never really watched anime though (she's more into American and English TV). She decided to give it a try so she asked me about the hottest thing I watching this season, to which I said Kiznaiver. She binged a bunch of episodes in a few episodes and is in love with it, she keeps talking to me about it aha. To see someone new to anime enjoying the show this much says a lot.
I don't strictly disagree with that, but it's getting a lot more ridiculous than I expected. The special zombies on the show have gone from "zombies that know how to use weapons" to monstrosities that fire energy beams.
And while this is indeed a case of a hero returning with a power up, it seems his cyborg design is edgy as hell, especially that haircut.

Nice win/win for you buddy!
Maybe get her to watch some of the cross-over with you like Erased, Steins; Gate and Clannad. Even SAO is well liked from a majority of the female casuals I know.

if you ever need break-up anime, watch Hyouka and see if she doesn't like it.
As if that's anything new.
Hellwarden

I could see Kiznaiver being a hit with people who might check out one or two shows a season.

She really likes teenage stories and fantasy stuff, through her research on anime that she may enjoy she's come through all of the ones you mentioned and asked me about them. SAO is a big one on her list, I just didn't mention it here because I don't want people being mean about it (we know fully well how much people love SAO around here don't we).
I may actually do my Hyouka re-watch with her. I keep saying I want to do it and now more than ever I have the reason for it to happen.

As long as you're introducing quality anime to her, I will then highly recommend you show her Yona of the Dawn. Seems like it should be up her alley.

Funimation got Sunshine? Why am I still subbed to CR?
There is apparently a chuuni devil worshipper so there's that.

She's watched a few trailers and is interested. She says the visuals are very pretty. So things are looking up for us as of now
Yup she REALLY likes the characters. And she's really into the shipping going on throughout the episodes aha.
I've yet to watch this show myself believe it or not. This would be a good watch for us both.

I'm afraid she'd drown. Either that or the opposite of Wolf's scenario: she'd break up with me.
And thanks for the recs guys! I totally forgot Kokoro, KyoAni, in a similar vein to Kiznaiver with a bit of an element of the supernatural in there... she would probably eat that right up aha.
Pretty damn comfy, down to the VA work and all. Interactions seem natural without anything overly crazy happening, as it would in the setting that they are in. It's pretty good!

If she love romance anime, try Emma A Victorian Romance.
Flying Witch episodes pass by without you thinking about it because it's so relaxing and comfy.

Wait, so this Time Traveling Girl show...will involve Ben Franklin?
Is this gonna be ANIME Ben Franklin or historic Ben Franklin?

It's the real Ben Franklin. Apparently it's based on a 1983 educational book, Jishaku to Denki no Hatsumei Hakken Monogatari, designed to introduce Japanese children to scientific discoveries related to electricity and magnetism.
