A lot of you seems to love this episode with some even crying, but here I am still not amused and entertained... wth is going on, am I missing something? or maybe this franchise just doesnt go well with me.
I hope the 3rd ep delivers cause if not Im gonna have to pass.
Well the series does get better and better. It really depends on if you like an underdog's story with strategic fights.


Maybe this, tho I like strategic fights but the underdog type MC's probably doest go well with me.

All Might without his ability is a worm xDD ahahaha but still he is doing always good things, but that injury is kinda bad and it seems that he is dying? Since in the preview of the next episode, he said that he will give his ability to Izuku...
Why does this always happens? 1 more week so i can see a new episode :/ Sad life xD
Although this was a great episode! Izuku can train now to be a hero too!
Can't wait for next week.

Nice to see mostly positive feedback, and the hook at the end finally getting some people. Anyways The score has gone up by .6 Since yesterday, its well deserving of it with the second episode wrapping things up.

Seriously, been years since I felt what I'm feeling right now after watching this episode and it was during the beginning of TTGL.

Awesome, really.

I enjoyed the episode. Got a bit teary eyed near the end there.

I know only 2 episodes are out so far but I'm really starting to get into this. I haven't felt this way for a battle shounen in a long time. I kinda want to just go start reading the manga, but I'll force myself to wait until the anime ends.

This was a great episode. I liked the first one, but this one was even better. Haven't read the manga, but if I keep loving it, I'll probably start buying it when the anime ends. Funimation have the hit they were hoping for!

Deku is an alternate reading of his name and also basically means "dork" or "nerd"

Wowzers. Another phenomenal episode of Weak Crying Boy - The Animation

I rate this episode crying/10

This show is already up for the "best crying scenes" award when AOTS time comes.

Cant wait to see how much crying there will be next week!

It seems they're planning to make a second season, at least this is what I understand from relatively slow pacing. If there's no such thing I imagine show is going to end at the beginning of some dumb tournament.

A very good episode once again, I still felt like it might've been better to squeeze the first two episodes into one. The pacing's kinda slow compared to the manga...


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 see your point, but they could've made the first episode extra long or split it in two and release them both at the same time, like Re:Zero did. To me, taking two weeks just to introduce Deku and All Might is a bit too much. It would've been fine if there were gonna be 20+ episodes, but there's only 13. Hope they indeed pick up the pace soon.

1 Chapter in 2 episodes. Haven't read the manga but that's One Piece tier level adaptation lol. It was a slow chapter, but... It was better than episode 2. I'm still looking for the 'Wow' factor for this show. Not seeing it at all.

A very cliche debut of the MC in a crisis situation - nothing new to see there. Pretty generic in how the bullying is resolved and main character meeting important people.

Yet why the hell am I crying/grinning like an idiot by the second episode!? The music (OMG THE OST), action and everything just draws you in so well, I can't help but cheer on our MC. The last scene where he clutches his heart was a killer!

It really boils down to execution in the end. I love how Deku charged out there. Don't stand by waiting for a hero, be the hero Deku!

It's been a while since I have seen a Bones series I was impressed with. I have to say I thought I would be more critical of this show since it was so hyped. However I am really enjoying it. I feel invested in Deku so the development seems pretty good. Overall I could easily see this series being at least an 8 for me if it continues to at least be the quality shown so far.

Pacing seems fine. How many chapters a show covers doesn't always equate to how good or bad pacing is. I think it would be much worse if they were trying to fit too much in unnecessarily.

I would agree a hour long special would have been better but I don't think that was going to happen because of the time slot. The anime is going to reach USJ so it will pick up. More then one chapter was shown in the preview.

"You looked like you were asking for help..."

I cried like a lil' bitch.


Me too :(

At first I questioned Dekus decision to run out and thought "wtf is he doing" and then he said that and it just hit home pretty hard. All Might finally gearing up after he heard that as well only made that scene hit harder.

What a fantastic episode though. I'm a sucker for the underdog stories and while episode 1 was a little weak bit showed potential, episode 2 completely makes this look like AOTS for me. I didn't expect All Might to be playing such a large role as well which came as a huge surprise.

"You can become a hero"

Damn... I have read nearly all Marvel and DC famous superheroes comic and i must say that this hero origin is even better than nearly every superheroes origin in the exception of Spider-Man.

All-Might and Izuku really reminds me of Captain America and Spider-Man, especially when he said that line damn! Japan you did it again!

Midoriya getting the real talk from slim All Might.
Kacchan has held on well, Midoriya goes to rescue him
YOO All Might!!
Just noticed it now, the screen gets dark in action scenes. Doesn't really bother me though.
You can become a hero, only 2 episodes in but very nice character development, don't forget your dream.
Story of how he became the greatest hero, I'm waiting for the next episode!
He'll inherit All Might's quirk, let's see how this goes.

The end of the episode made this feel like it would be episode 1. I can see how poeple can love this, if they are interested in Shounen. For others it may be not be the best anime of the season.

Im looking forward if this anime can impress a Shounen-disliker like me, lol.

This was terrible. Sorry not sorry, but everything is just awful. The MC is a foolish powerless brat, All Might and his design is just a joke, Fire Kid apparantly can't do jack-squat, heroes having to wait for a better hero, like come on?! What was I supposed to enjoy?? The fact that the MC is probably going to be a sort of order-giving team leader to make up for his teammates weaknesses against every particular enemy? 2/10 (+2 for the OP) Dropped.

It's kinda funny how you managed to get everything wrong lol. Also the reason they were waiting around was because their quirks weren't effective against the villain's.

The first episode didn't really do anything for me, but this one was actually very enjoyable. The beginning already intrigued me with the talk about what happened to All Might 5 years ago and the final scene sealed the deal. Excited to see where it's gonna go next.
One thing to note is that the music composer is doing (yet again) an amazing work, the ost makes every scene much more powerful.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I don't mind people having criticism for the series... as long as it's actually valid. Some complaints are based on blind predictions... and some could be solved by actually reading the subtitles. The cringe is strong here.
