Yeah, that was actually faithful. No. 13 tells Iida to go and faces off against Black Mist; when we return, we find Black Mist having redirected the black hole and wrecked No. 13, and Iida hasn't moved an inch despite some time presumably having passed. Then he tries to leave, Black Mist goes for him, Shouji interrupts him but because he's a teleporter made of mist he worms out of it, then Uraraka and co. thwart that attempt and Iida escapes. So, basically exactly what happened in the anime.

Speaking of 13, do we ever find out in the manga how she uses (used?) her powers for search & rescue operations? It seems like the sort of horrifyingly destructive ability that would fit right next to Shiragaki in the "Never had a chance, go to villain school instead" category.

It would be pretty useful for clearing away rubble and flood water, maybe even putting out fires. You see later on that 13 has pretty precise control over turning the black hole on and off with his suit.

Oh, and he's just injured. This isn't a series where characters die left and right.

I interpreted it as "meanwhile while this was happening... [Bakugou checkin/Yao checkin/Tokidori checkin]... and now, back to the action at the main gate. *unpause*"

If I recall all of the possible timeslots for Summer and Fall are covered already so at a bare minimum we're talking next year.

Personally? I hope this series gets big enough to warrant a movie.

This is like the only shounen series where I'd be happy to watch a non-canon movie with high animation quality.

I really like the contrast between All Might and his Clark Kent form, aside from seeming really chill like a traveling surfer hippy dude. I like how while he's a little more :geno: and :effort: it's clear he's still a Hero and thinking about the good of other people. It's like he's just obviously very tired. His All Might form seems like as a character, if he was ALL MIGHT ALL THE TIME would also probably tire the viewer a bit. It's like his own character has a pacing curve.

His twerp form is the real him, and you can pick up the exhaustion/stress he feels at keeping appearances up.

I hope we don't get a lovely time skip and can see him teach the whole class as "himself".

On the other hand, I really do hope it gets to the point he trusts the class that he gets to that point.

I'm honestly considering watching the dub, too, when it's finished, just because I really wanna see how Chris loving Sabat™ delivers those lines.

Sabat's performance at first just sorta apes Kenta Miyake which is lame, but he reigns it in more afterwards and a lot of his delivery as Skinny All Might is loving great.

I second that Sabat's performance as Small Might is pretty fantastic. I was at first unimpressed by his Hero voice, but by now he's really gotten into both sides.

To me, the real standout in the dub is Bakugo. Especially in the latest episode (Deku vs. Kacchan) but overall I think the dub cast is pretty solid for everyone.

I can't loving wait to hear Sabat scream out that Plus Ultra though.

I am super-resistant to liking characters that the author of a given work obviously wants you to like, usually - when most authors/illustrators go too far to put a character over, it just makes them feel obnoxious and ubiquitous

All Might is exactly the loving opposite of that, he is the best character and I will never get tired of him, I would watch a show that was just All Might doing All Might things and Small Might doing Small Might things all the time, every day

it's the goddamn strings in the OST that kick in whenever All Might or Deku is about to do something amazingly heroic, on one level I know I should be wiser to this brand of playing the audience but on every other level I'm just hype as gently caress

In most shounen series the outcomes are foregone conclusions so the fights are more about how competently they're drawn/animated or how inventive they can be either in terms of action or comedy, but in MHA I find myself consciously rooting for All Might/Deku in a way that reminds me of childhood, like I really wanted All Might to win

It is embarrassing af but I can't help it
