My Hero Academia 16
MHA's new season is so visually dynamic and full of energy! I'm still shaking!
Also compliation of Bakugo faces!
YOOOOOOOOOOOO DEKU!!!!!!!!!! My level of excitement reached MAX this episode! Deku really showed everyone just how awesome he is. I got how you felt All Might, that was great!

What's inexplicable? He used his quick thinking and what was on hand.
The mines were also confirmed non-lethal, so I really doubt it would have broke his metal shield.
Another is indeed a comedy masterpiece.
How do I put this, he seemed to prevail though the power of the protagonist more then anything else, which struck me a a bit strange since the underdog types don't place like this this early. Now I see what the true game is it is actually a bit of clever subversion.
Wrath of Bahamut: Virgin Soul Episode 2:
Yea, not going to lie here, not a fan of the direction of the season, mainly because Bahamut was always at its best being a light heated adventure romp and this dour Demon slavery storyline just isn't that interesting. I do like Nina as the new protagonist though I have questions about her abilities.

What happens when Dragon Girl here finally gets laid given that her transformation powers are based on sexual arousal.

Really fun episode! It does seem silly when they show Deku climbing on the tightrope with a huge piece of metal, but it leads to the hype moment so I don't mind. Mei's showboating/showmanship is great, looking forward to more of that in the next event. Kirishima getting some decent screen time. The narration during the previews has been hilarious so far.
Only complaint about this series is that the intro has Deku in his mask

BEYBLADE VForce #20 The Power Half Hour!!
Many characters brought up a good point about cheating, there wasnever any technical inspections of the Beys before, so they could have got away with cheating. Though Im glad we did have the traditional cheating type episode to teach Tyson and viewers a lesson about hard work and determination.
Dragoon wasnt even wanting to be a part of it either.

MHA S2 03
I've been waiting for her to show up. Deku's win still pisses me off and seeing it animated rather than drawn makes it all the more upsetting.

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?

What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?
aka
SukaSuka
The word shuumatsu in the title is a homophonic pun - 週末 means "weekend", but here it's instead spelt 終末, which is basically just "the end" (possibly of everything). The normal question "What're you up to at the weekend? Are you busy?" is therefore transformed...
It's still not the best title in the world, but you can at least see what the author was going for.
　
That's actually pretty cool and if they left it at just the first question I think it'd have been a good title then, just too long otherwise
But I guess overly long names are what seems to be hip and cool lately in Japan

Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters 28:
This was a pretty funny episode, with some great scenes with Yuujin and Offmon, and a lot of good gags, as well as some sweet development stuff. Haru and Yuujin's friendship remains really great, and I loved the scene near the end with them.
And the very end of the episode was pretty sinister, and gives me some more speculation fuel going forward.
I don't know if I'm right on that, but it would fit everything that's been revealed so far, and it would definitely make for a very memorable second half of the show.

I'm increasingly convinced that Yuujin might be an android or cyborg of some kind, with a very sophisticated AI that thinks it's human. His "mom" seems quite sinister and is definitely in the know on what the truth is. And when you consider that Yuujin's buddy is Offmon who will eventually evolve into Shutmon, which is a "forced termination app", things could potentially get messy.

Someone at Sakugabooru really likes MHA.
Attack on Titan Season 2, Episode 3:
So they can apply same lateral thinking in some places but not others, how very curiously inconsistent.
At any rate, the production is already taking a hit as I have seen quite a few stretches on non-animation.
So they can apply same lateral thinking in some places but not others, how very curiously inconsistent.
They have it mapped and corroborated that the walls are made of titan secretions but nobody seems to be putting the equation together on the incredible appearing titans being the result of some conversion instituted by The Beast Titan.
Thighs are never wrong.
Probably the end of term segment. Which means they'll have to space/flesh some stuff out.

I mean it's understandable! MHA is amazing!
Lots of great animations
I've been curious about this, but what do you mean by slowly? No scenes are dragged out(Every scenes has character moving or interacting), no flashbacks and the material is pretty much 1:1 with some expended upon character interaction and actions moments. The 2 chapter adapted today were the last 2 of volume 3 and were pretty much perfect adaption wise. I just want to know since it's a comment I see by some people here and they never say why.
For one thing, you seem to be thinking of two fairly different types of "conversion" (unless you think the Beast Titan turned part of the wall back into Titans, perhaps?), but more importantly, we're dealing with two groups that haven't exchanged their respective findings yet: the characters who know about the titan in the wall don't know that the titans inside Wall Rose seem to have appeared out of nowhere, and the characters who know about that aren't aware of the titan in the wall.

I can't comment on these chapters, I've never read them since I've always stuck to legal release and when I started the series they were skipped by Jump, but I agree that the series isn't adapting slowly. I do however think MHA can just be naturally slow. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, as I like how MHA takes its time to build everything up, but I do think it tends to move a little slower than other Shonen.
I mean, I find the pace good enough in the last 2 episodes but you're blind if you're not seeing the padding at the beginning of this one. Only after 2 minutes and 20 seconds of intro and recaps (not counting the OP) did it went into the new material.
There are also material specific bits that can make it feel drawn out such as the usual narrator introductions to characters and their quirks.

That moment your own cleverness screws you over.
Prior to this season starting, people convinced themselves that the series would blow past these next few arcs quickly and that it would end with
All Might vs One for All

JD Bahi's Atom the Beginning OP is excellent. Very appealing colors and style.

Trickster 19 - 22 (Engdub)
Episode 22 using the piano version of 1 hope sniper is still the best.
Enjoyed the dub take of Hide joining Han and Ino as they pursued Koba's memories, especially Hide's comments as well as Pippo's random attacks on Han, lol.
Kind of wish Hide and co didnt just drive off into the sunset exiting the anime

I'll give you the 2 minutes of today's episode(which did not drag the pacing down), but people were saying the pacing was glacial last week which had no 2 minutes recap. And this makes no sense to me whatsoever. I feel like I'm just not watching the same show or people have some ridiculous expectations I don't get. But your not who I was aiming, since your saying the pacing is good.
If people are still holding on to that at this point...it would be a silly reason to call the season slow.
That moment your own cleverness screws you over.

1:1 adaptions aren't the perfect solution to a good pacing, the manga, especially in MHA's case which is weekly, and the anime pacing are usually very different. They can cut stuff that they deem unnecessary or they could change the way some events play, emphasizing stuff like the action. In Season 1, for example, four episodes had passed and Deku's biggest achievement was throwing a ball. It just didn't feel as a satisfying reward, if I could call it that, for watching 80+ minutes of it.
Also, even though I've expressed dissatisfaction numerous times anyway, my point was that the 1:1 adaption works for this part of MHA and its current pacing is rather good. I don't have any complaints with that, even if it still adapts 2 chapters, as it doesn't drag. I probably shouldn't have added the second sentence as it made my post more negative than I intended. lol

The scene were Deku search for All Might after he won the race, looking for his approval, saying *Look I did it!* gets me so hard, the level of emotions at that time hits a peak for me. I love these 2 so much. I know some people think Deku cries too much, but it's really that honest truthful side of him that I like so much. He know he succeeded.
So it's more the overall thing, then this single episode. Alright I get you. Thanks for clarifying!

This episode felt more restrained than the others. Helped give it a more serious air.
The contrast of the prayer chanting with the beats of the fight were great.

Hell of a cliffhanger. The show has done a good job of raising the stakes for the main cast and their goals.
I also have no idea where it's going with Master Asia and Wong.

I didn't remember if he won or not, honestly these things always end in a draw or third place for the last ditch effort so i was kind of happy seeing him win this one.

Vega got a good voice, I cant seem to recognize what other funi dub Ive heard him in.
The museum art exhibit scene was one of the most hilarious moments, same for bowling.
