Anime:My Hero Academia

I wonder if they got imput from Horokoshi with it. I feel like they would given some other things.

Here's a thing:

One Strip! One Strip!

Stain does have a place in the narrative, that's in arguable.

The ep is out.

Bakugo has no idea what public image is, Metal Boys are not having fun, neither are Momo and Kung-fu Girl. Earphone Girl is meanwhile actually helping.

The rest is nothing but frog, complete with villainous tentacles.

grah

I like how this show keeps subverting my expectations on characters, I was fully expecting the captain to be a jerk in order to contrast with Sirius but nope he's actually a really cool dude.

I enjoyed this episode although I wish it showed more of the other students, everyone we saw there we already knew more or less how their internship was going.

You know, I noticed nobody mentioned the bomb that dropped last week about the villain All For One still being alive, and its the same guy who put All-Might in his current condition. Someone who could go toe to toe with All Might and even win against him....is someone who would have to be obscenely powerful...Wonder why he's not the one running the League of Villains.

At the risk of spoilers, and being behind a bit in episodes, hasn't it been implied that All For One is Sensei, meaning he is running the League of Villains?

I mean, the reason he's not directly controlling it is that All Might proper fucked him up and he's still recovering.

Well yeah Sensei is the real person in charge of the League but he's personally grooming Tomura to take over cause he's no longer in a good condition for it anymore cause of All Might.

Fun episode, ya really gotta love the designs of these characters. So creative & badass.

Also next week, finally the series most awesome origin story, I can't fucking wait.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

All might literally says that Nomu was most likely created by All For One, the implication that he's the one running the League of Villains is really obvious. Gran Torino and All might only even brought him up because they were discussing the mastermind behind the League of Villains.

That was some cute filler.

Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.

The Captain's cuteness however...is debatable.

One Strip! One Strip!

Froppy is the best girl in an anime made of best girls. Fight me.

I've never gotten people's thing with Tsuyu.

Anyway, this seems like the kind of thing I would consider canon until given a reason not to. Because you never know when the person she did her workplace experience with might actually come up, and that just makes things awkward if it's not actually...whatever his name is.

Huh I think Selkie trying to act cute is cause seals are considered cute animals so he's trying to replicate that.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Uh it's likely canon because Hori designed the characters introduced this episode.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

I mean, I figured something like that, I'm just saying. A lot of people take things like this as "not shown in the manga, so not canon".

I'm guessing Hori has a much tighter relationship with the people running the anime then Toriyama, who pretty much does what he wants, and doesn't really care about contradicting the anime (and since he's the one doing it, people will declare his version the real version...unless your Dragonball Minus).

One Strip! One Strip!

Speaking only for myself, it's the eyes. I'm a sucker for big round eyes like that. It's for that same reason Jigglypuff is my favorite Pokemon

She's kind, cute, level headed and has a unique ability thats very versatile. Also, kero.

And she's not afraid to tongue slap Mineta before he says something he shouldn't.

Edit: because my internal spellchecker is not working and I've trained to ignore autocorrect when doing some Camel Case.

Ah so this episode was filler? Gave off that impression but It was a fun and enjoyable episode regardless. More Froppy is always a good thing, she's the best girl on the show. Selkie was badass.

Frog powers are also cool because it's not an animal known for its prowess or symbolically powerful, but makes for some rather neat and interesting physical abilities.Animal based powers tend to be pretty cool when you think about it since a lot of animals can do some amazing stuff.

Imagine being like a pistol shrimp hero or something.

Yay we finally have a Froppy episode and it's too cuddly for words!

Selkie was mentioned by Tsuyu in manga before the episode came out, and apparently he was designed by Horikoshi, so I'm pretty sure Horikoshi and the anime staff agreed upon at least the rough idea of what the episode will be about.

I liked the way they showed us how pro heroes collaborate with outside orgs like coast guards and how they treat their interns during the operation.I'm not sure what kind of message it was trying to tell us though. Tsuyu's decision to not listen to the villain eventually worked out well but I don't think that was necessarily more "heroic" than the other option. I could really argue for either side. So it felt a little odd when the episode ended with "I think I understand what being a hero is a little better now".

Tsuyu was also stated as having helped catch a villain in the manga during her internship as well.
