We got the double episode last week for Ballroom at least which is the first time I can remember something like that happening.

My Hero Academia 31
I saw screenshots of this in the manga but I was not mentally prepared for this.
On one hand he was delivering some very important news, on the other hand I'm just imploding over this design choice - I mean I like it but I'm trying to wrap my head around it while trying to pay attention to what he's saying. This wasn't like the minor gag in season 1's cat police, this was a pretty serious moment! I suppose this is nothing abnormal in the world of MHA but I was really taken aback. That was a great moment overall, I've rewatched it after completing the episode.
Stain's a bigger influence that I thought, the consequences of his ideology spreading to misguided individuals are more or less spelled out. That's an interesting direction but I doubt this aligns well with Shigaraki's own motivations given how his relationship with Stain ended. This is probably something they can use as leverage to move further though.
This does remind me of Narag's take on a purist era with the Chief's speech and the ending scene implying how it was in the past or why the Hero association even came to be. They aren't entirely clear except with the ending scene specifying how it was chaotic until All Might came in. There's even a brief back story of Stain, although its credibility is questionable given how it was used to spread his fundamentalist propaganda. His story tells us his disappointment towards the Hero education system but not where it stems from, an assumption is through All Might's rise as implied just before this.
This is more of a bubbling period for the next sequence of events but I really enjoy these episodes as well for sinking in the events of the past and coming to terms with change/consequence.

They still got Black Clover and Gintama too
But yeah, next season will be interesting. Shokugeki no Soma 3 and Himouto! 2 are both likely to be Strike/HIDIVE exclusive thanks to Sentai.
I doubt that Gintama will be the highlight of the season, sorry.

The Eccentric Family Episode 2
Finally got to meet the rest of the family and learn why everyones scared of Benten. Still dont know if shes a villain or not, but since the ED is devoted to her, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
The music in this show is so freakin good, damn. Loved the ending of the episode.

Why does it take Crunchyroll so long to put The Reflection up on their app?
What is the holdup?

I mean the reason why I am saying Magus Bride could be the biggest show next season is because its being hyped up by Crunchyroll and its WIT's passion project.
You dont go airing the first 3 episodes at theaters for international audience for no reason. They expect it to be big and seeing the first 3 episodes I can see why. I mean there is a chance it wont be big, but there is also a chance it could be as well. Heck Production IG is behind the production of the anime as well.
Or it could be Black Clover.

The Reflection - Episode 3
This is bad. There's something really weird about this show. The script is stilted and really unnatural. The scenes are directed in really awkward ways and the editing is ass. Nothing about it feels smooth or elegant. Watching scenes transit without any sense of flow or momentum makes it really uncomfortable to watch. The art is average. The animation is minimal. What is even going on in this production....
At least the robot was cool.

At least they are 3 episodes ahead of time.....
It seems they want to at least be finished with the first cour before the series airs October.

Looks like the "handy" bad guy got more tgan he hoped for in the end. Looks like shit is about to vet real because of it too...

I'd assumed those were the first three prequel ova eps that were already out.
hosannainexcelsis

No, the 3 episodes that were prescreened at Anime Expo and then at Crunchyroll's Anime Movie Night are the first 3 episodes of the TV series proper. (The third prequel OAD episode isn't even out yet.)
Wait the OADs and the TV episodes are different things?!
hosannainexcelsis
Member
Yes. The OADs are an anime-original prequel to the manga. The TV show is adapting the manga itself.
If they are OADs... are they really "anime-original" or.... animated..... manga... bonus.... I'm not sure what my train of thought was or where it is going, but I hope you see where the joke was going...
That's reassuring.
Turin Turambar
Member
I always thought that, surely, they would reuse the OAD material into the new tv series. Maybe in an extended flashback, if the first episodes are different?
hosannainexcelsis
Member
The OAD material itself is framed as an extended flashback. Theoretically it could be incorporated into the TV show somewhere down the line, but I doubt it will be (unless Wit gets behind and needs to hit the emergency button, like when Natsume S6 aired an OAD episode instead of a new episode because of Shuka's production difficulties).
The Reflection 3
Fuck, that was disappointing. It doesn't even feel it's going for the old comics feeling outside of its aesthetics. I kind of liked what was going on with the parallels of a hero fighting for fame and another one fighting on the shadows, but it's becoming apparent that this isn't the show's focus. Also, the robot power was really dumb, I hated it. The weird fat guy also deserves a mention for his dumb power.

These Fate Grand Order commercials are getting ridiculous.

Flag girl Rin tho.
Is this the same studio that did the Fate GO OVA ep?

Ahh, I was wondering why the eps on Crunchyroll had slightly different order of events than the ones I saw in the theater.

The Reflection 3
These awkward cuts to the idol group to get THEIR opinion on recent events, which is very vital if it isn't clear, keep getting more and more awkward.
For a show about superheroes, this isn't presenting very interesting characters nor battle scenes. The latter is particularly worrying when the two action scenes in the show were so boring and ended in such anticlimactic fashions that instead of being a highlight of the episode they were just another scene.
X-On's personality is non existent, the way he
were so mundane. Right now the show's only strength is its unique art style, and I'm giving it 1 or 2 more episodes to see if that alone can keep me watching. This feels like such a disappointing team-up with legendary Stan Lee if this is the best they could come up with.

I've been wondering that. It certainly looks about on par with Lerche's general quality these days. Would make sense for them to do it since they're doing the inevitable Grand Order anime, right?

Maybe he should also ask for the skipping NPs feature.
The flag girl is actually Ishtar.
Who definitely isn't them just pulling the Saber trick of reusing the same character design for other characters.
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I would've said Ishtarin but not everyone plays the game.
And in this case, it's not really a reuse of design, more of an excuse to get masters in as servants, e.g. Waver. There's some in-game justification of the shenanigans.
I don't actually play F/GO in any fashion either, but these things spread remarkably quickly via social-media osmosis these days haha

Lol Mappa are animating the manga about a old dude that turns into a robot or some shit next season.
Also reminder the creator of the series is the same guy that wrote Gantz.

How many people are Newtypes in this show again? Kamille, Fa, and Jerid? Is freaking Katz one too? I'm staring to lose track here.

RIP Maour. If Jared's hate-boner for Kamille wasn't massive enough already he's going to go insane by the end of this show.
