Looks like MHA is continuing or will spill over into fall. Today's ep is a big old dagger to the feel.

There is gonna be an 8th season but I'm guessing it will be a half-season of 12-13 episodes rather than another full 25. Six episodes is not enough time to wrap up when they haven't even dealt with Toga yet, let alone AFO and Shigaraki. Also Spinner may need another episode to actually get captured? I don't think any other major players are left.

Death Arms is a great example of the writing that elevates what is generally a very formulaic shonen, especially when you look back from where we are now. When the sludge villain has Bakugo, Death Arms is just like 'well i tried once and it didnt work so i will just stand here doing nothing and hope this kid doesnt die before a hero with a better quirk shows up' and nobody thinks anything is wrong with that, not even Deku. It's a subtle hint from the very beginning that something has fundamentally gone wrong with hero culture. Much later in the show him giving into despair and quitting as a hero is an important contrast to Mt. Lady, who was a rookie fan service airhead that you would have expected to vanish when things went to shit but instead she's ride or die putting it all on the line in two brawls with Gigantomachia and then AFO himself.

The short simplicity of his "redemption" scene is so much better than him randomly showing up on one of the battlefields which is what I had been expecting to be the way he'd come back. Just another great callback to the beginning of the series, he's mentally broken like Deku was at the time but his body moves on its own to save people.

I almost...aaaalmost felt bad for Toya but he's still a hate-filled mass murderer who was trying to suicide bomb thousands of innocent people. The show does a good job of humanizing their villains without ruining things by expecting you to sympathize with them (although some retards do). They're still monsters but it's a bunch of tragic stories where you can see how easy it would to end up walking down that road in that situation, AFO is the only one that's just cartoonishly evil.

Holy text batman. Anyways, I'm still on the MHA train kinda, it didn't go full stupid like jujukaizen or whatever. But one for all being voiced by the same guy that voiced no longer allowed in another world is kinda perplexing. Is One for all literally communism?

It's weird that you would mention some some dumb trash isekai as a reference to his voice actor instead of Levi.

Thanks for helping me place where it was familiar from. You're only mostly bad gavinmad.

Was feeling nerdy and did some math since there was a convenient map of Japan showing exactly where All Might Square and Gunga Mountain Villa were supposed to be (kinda weird to have a mountain villa in a part of Japan without mountains) and Iida traveled 450-500km in 5-10 minutes, so somewhere between Mach 2 and Mach 5.

Lets just assume part of his quirk protects his eyes from exploding when traveling at that speed without protection lmao.

Shounen protags are always flagged as physics optional.

Hitoribocchi - First ep was good.
Saikyou no Shienshoku - Ep 1 was good. Little darker and grittier than some, not as hardcore mode as arifureta or last season's revenge dude.
Reincarnated Aristocrat Appraisal S2 - Off to a good start. On CR.

So far...

Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai - this looks interesting. MC is a guild leader....could be very fun.

The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan - first ep didn't grab me. Will give it another ep or so before I drop it.

man i tried giving i parry everything a try. 5 episodes and just boring.

Its a decent throw away series for when youre out of things to watch. However i dislike the clueless MC approach used in the series so that was a huge detriment.

Reincarnated Aristocrat is back with episode 13. I'm happy.

Also, Maou-sama, Retry! R - I liked the first episode, but found out it's actually season 2 from a 2019 show. Kid creates a VR game and when it shuts down, he awakens in the games world as his character. Characters eyes are pixelated? I don't quite get what's going on, but it's not a bad show from what I've seen.

Re Zero s3 Ep1 dropped. I honestly feel like this show is some weird plot. The less annoying subaru gets, the worse the show gets. But, I REALLY hated subaru season 1, but liked the show. Now Subaru doesn't seem so bad, but the show is pretty boring tbh. Posting this 30% into the 90 min long ep1 movie or whatever this shit is.
