Listen, I love MHA, but there's no way you can tell me the anime art is good (or in some ways even just 'decent'). Character animation varies all over the shop from acceptable to inoffensively budget to bleh to absolutely stellar, but like Jarmel said, the BG art and the lighting in particular is almost always egregiously horrid. It's either a blurry mess of colours with no strong definining lines to separate out and visually identify individual objects, or it simply doesn't mesh well with characters proportionally. There were so many times during the USJ fight where it looked like the kids were just floating on this brown-coloured smear that was meant to be the ground.
That's fine in a sense because MHA doesn't really give as much focus on the BG or indeed use it that much in a directorial sense (and that in itself is its own problem), but it's still something that really stands out to me.
Now this might be bog standard for shonen anime or something, but at any rate, it's pretty irritating.

HOLY SHIT A NEW SONG!
Best part of episode:
No make it stop! They even had me thinking that this episode would be safe from Planet Dance, but they managed to sneak it in at the end.

Yeah I liked the original hairstyle much more heh. Trying to be cool, when he already look pretty badass.
Getting ready for a cameo in FFXV obviously.

I've found a number of pieces in MHA to be much closer to GBF than Haikyuu. There's definitely Haikyuu in stuff like the main theme or the track when Deku is throwing the baseball but tracks like the rap pieces are obviously GBF influenced. For example the track when Iida is trying to get out the gate in episode 11 would be closer to home in GBF. I'm certainly not arguing that GBF and MHA's OST are similar quality-wise, GBF without a doubt is vastly superior to MHA's OST precisely due to stuff like the flamenco music. There's certainly not anything like Crimson Comet in MHA's OST. This is kinda hard to discuss without the tracks being available in OST format but a number of the recent tracks in Kiznaiver strike me as similar to the less bombastic pieces in Haikyuu. As for Death Parade, I really don't remember the OST at all.

It's nice to have Winry back in the mix, but Damn the present has Edward by the balls for sure...
Major Armstrong is now one of my favorites by far. Dude got destroyed

That last scene was pretty badass. Except... it would have made more sense if he waited until he was actually in the city.
The past two episodes have been pretty good, but they stand on a really rocky foundation.
They ruined Mumei. Her actions have made no sense. The idiot ball she carries is so abnormally large, I'm surprised she can walk straight. Had they gone into her being brain washed or having any reason to trust Buba (or whatever his name is) so much, maybe it wouldn't have fallen so flat, but as it is, she has become my biggest issue with the show.
Idiot villagers continue to be idiots - problem #2 with the show. As others have mentioned, theres just so many stupid people in this show. Nobody acts rationally.
And then finally, Buba. I mean, I guess I can accept that they made him so comically evil. And sure, his motivations make enough sense. But his actions don't. I don't get what his end game is here. Just... destroy everything... because? Its not the biggest flaw in the show, because I can at least buy into the "He's just a sociopath" mentality. Its not particularly deep, but it also isn't actively stupid. Mum and the behaviour of the villagers however (But especially Mumei) have really dragged this show down.
Its still enjoyable enough, and theres some decent action. But it could have been so much more.
Also rip biscuit
Yeah basically. Thinking about it, my comment above about it not being actively stupid isn't right. Its pretty stupid, even with the sociopath argument. Its just not the biggest issue the show has.

In the end money really was their only path to victory. Well, it took a lot of strategy and effort to pull that off anyway. A better show than this deserved to be really. It was nice seeing everyone get close to each other and Ako stepping outside a bit more. My pleasant surprise of the season.

Ikoma Bowie came back from the dead???
I have. They're not comparable. I honestly don't know where you guys see the similarities. One Piece anime drags on and accomplishes nothing extra for it. My Hero Academia, on the other hand, benefits from its pacing. Moreover, even if we were doing a direct comparison, like holy shit, One Piece is soooo much slower.
Hopefully one day you'll all realize hey not everything has to fly at lightning speed to be good, and, in fact, some things are better for being paced slower. O:

Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood ep.37
Man, I really had the Pres., his son and that Crimson Alchemist. All of them are straight up douche. I can't wait until they find a way to take out these freaks that have Edward, Al and Winry cornered completely. That ending though.... I can't believe she jumped in the car so casually knowing full well that shit is going to happen. That chick has some balls!

I have only a limited sample of MHA to judge from, since I've only seen excerpts of the show, so I'll bow to your superior knowledge here. For Kiznaiver, there may be some similarities to some of the more subdued Hayashi music in Haikyuu (although listening back to the Haikyuu soundtrack, there's a heavy emphasis on guitar that I don't believe has been there in Kiznaiver), but most of Haikyuu relied on more intense music during the volleyball matches so the balance of that soundtrack and its use in show is distinctly different than Kiznaiver, I believe.
I certainly have no objection to a slower pacing that's meaningful, such as in Hunter X Hunter 1999 or Flowers of Evil or Mushishi. But what Jarmel and others have described in My Hero Academia, particularly a heavy use of repetitive flashbacks, is not something that sounds attractive to me. Neither does poor art or poor direction, for that matter.

I can't believe something interesting finally happened!
I was going to time the number of minutes of flashbacks in one episode but it became a real hassle soooo
Sure the flashbacks in MHA aren't as bad as the ones in OP but OP is an outlyer in terms of just abusing the shit out of flashbacks. Literally half of an episode in OP can be and has been flashbacks before. It is the arse end of flashbacks.
MHA doesn't use its flashbacks well is what i'm saying.

Flashbacks in OP are usually the best parts. Not the anime tho

Yeah, when I say flashbacks here I mean the reuse of earlier anime footage, not telling a character's backstory.
That's fine, but you haven't watched it, and, to be frank, Jarmel's description of the pacing is really off!
