It was surprising to see All Might's real form with him looking very thin, but considering that he's sporting injuries from a powerful fight not known to the public, it's definitely understandable why he's unable to stay in his preferred form for more than 3 hours a day.

Seeing Midoriya making that brave dash to save his classmate gave All Might the motivation he needed to gain his strength back and finish the smile enemy for good with an epic Detroit Smash that ultimately caused the heavens to open up and rain. Epic indeed. =D

The best scene was at the end, with All Might telling Midoriya that he CAN become a fully fledged hero. Seeing Midoriya crying after hearing that was very touching. =)

Overall, it was an excellent episode!

the first half was pretty good or okay imo, and the second half was really intense and great especially the soundtrack...i like it a lot.
so Midori with get a power, or more like inhert his power....well...i'm looking foward to it :D
i'm curious about the short hair girl tho.... can't wait to see her power too :D

Edit: the rating is dropping. well not suprised, i didn't find it that really hyped, but i know for sure in episode 3 or 4 or 5 , the future episode will be the hyped one according to the manga fans. i'm looking foward to it :D

Aww, I felt so bad for Izuku in the beginning... he pretty much got his dreams crushed. I'm glad that All Might talked to him again after the fight.

Did NOT expect All Might's true form to look like that though xD

Nope, can't do it. This straight up reeks of Nardo so far. Same style cheese, same style crybaby "powerless"(but he will obviously have something ultra special) MC, same style ridiculous friendship/rivalry that makes no sense.

Te fights are good to okay, but then it is bones, so it is expected. But beyond being visually pleasing, there's not much to like here. Its every shonen genre cliche in the book upped to eleven.

The hero dude's okay. Would watch a show focused solely on him instead of bunch of wimpy kids retelling same shonen genre story for 200th time, especially since I am already watching a bones superhero show that actually questions the genre tropes and the idea of right and wrong.


3/5 again. Will give one more episode to decide if this is a drop.

Dunno where you got that idea but it's pretty much a standard shounen. Just better than the usual ones.

Surprisingly this is more touching than some other anime this seasons which are actually supposed to do that. Seriously. The scenes of Izuku, like the one with his mother, are saddening as fuck. But the entire episode was tense(except when All Might transformed. That was hilarious. I mean what is with those intimidating eyes xD).

I struggled not to cry. That was the best episode so far from this season.


This sums it up pretty much.

Totally didn't expect that from something that is tagged as comedy, school, shounen.

Better than the first episode. Still reeks of standard shonen though, but I'll give it a couple more chances since it did take HxH to get going and I liked that series a lot.

Can't deny that I liked this episode though as the animation was good, and characters were pretty cool. I wasn't as emotionally invested in it as many of you already are, but the show does show some promise for me. 4/5

In the market where things like HxH, D.Gray-man, Shokugeki no Soma or Tokyo Ghoul are a thing, that's nowhere near factually correct.

You'll get to see some good fights in this season. But the best ones may not be adapted unless a second season happens.
3rd season most likely, for "That" arc

That passing a verdict it's not a standard shounen after 2ep? Lol no. It has a slow start anyway like hxh and at least on par with sns, if not better.
Just to make it clear, it's a highly successful wsj manga(crossing sns sales and frequently just after op sales).
Tokyo ghoul is a seinen btw, get your facts correct next time lmao.

It seems like BokuHero has its way of hitting you right in the feels when you expect it the least: last scene really got me.

And thank the Heavens for male tsunderes: Kacchan's display of non-gratitude for Deku saving him was hilariously adorable.

I'm shocked how much I loved this episode because I don't remember being this hooked when I read the manga. Great job by Bones, people have already said it and maybe its not necessary but this is everything I wished OPM was. Great episode, saving this bad boy for the end of season so I can have a nice marathon sesh.

I'm kinda curious as to why some people voted : hated this episode?

Though it's not my opinion I can understand the MC being seen as a wuss or something.

But, why hate this episode. D:


Didn't hate it but it was pretty weak how the other heroes couldn't do anything when the answer was to punch it. Also a lot of time wasted with flash backs and more scenes about the kid with the quirk being a jerk. Mostly just hoping for better rather than worse after Tiger and Bunny and One Punch Man.

They didn't have enough power. They aren't as strong as All Might who is the top hero.

A shounen Done Right depicting reality of being a hero and unrealistic shounen esque, plus it has a good sound and animation, far better than most of supernatural series out there.

It's inferior to HxH for its realistic element while it's better than Naruto overall.

I think it's pretty good so far and is adapting the manga quite well.

The only real gripe I have is that the season is only 13 episodes long, and at the current pace the best we willl see is maybe the...

Which is only the tip of the iceberg.

I did not believe that the secret of All-Might be discovered so quickly. Next chapter begins training. I want to start once the saga of the academy to meet the rest of the heroes. Ending the opening and I like every day.

Ohhh, so that's why All Might had that weird shape before transforming in the previous episode... He's so sex. It's obvious that he lift.

To be honest though, it was kinda depressing to see that All Might was in fact a broken man. His power is almost like a curse to him at this point.

It probably will be. The only reason why it is 13 is because of the Nichigo timeslot mess right now. And it's better it to get that timeslot for 13 episodes then another timeslot for 21-26 episodes.

I really disagree. shoving 50 pages of (dense) content into twenty minutes would have been terrible. The introduction needed to be a detailed as possible so viewers completely understand deku and the world he is in. Now that the intro is done they can start speeding up the pace now.

I agree, an Gon's character have become shallow, at least Boku no Hero Academia did much better than HxH when it comes to portraying "Vengeance" ... Well Yuyu Hakusho is much better than HxH and BnHA

There must be something wrong with me, I rarely cry but that ending nearly had the tears out in force. The music and All Might's words went together really well.
