| The more I think about it the more it is obvious that so far the whole show has been repeating same pattern: - Have something happen - Have MC feel bad and wimp out crying - Cue forced emotional scene. I have no idea why this episode took a whole episode - it was already obvious he passed. There was no need for the scene him pathetically crying in his room and all that shit . This show just feels like it is searching for reasons to have MC cry so somebody else can have an uplifting speech to him so the narrative can shallowly try to tug at viewer emotions with manufactured drama. Removing that saves time and removing all sobbing makes MC more bearable and lets the show get to the point without the forced fluff faster. |

| Waifu that girl right there plain looking whimpy MC-kun...She is too perfect... lmao not sure about the feels tho,this episode especially was way too predictable...I knew from the ending of last episode that: -he would score 0 points -he would run to save someone from the 0 points big monster -he would think he lost his chance -all might would console him saying he is in fact a hero -he would pass I could've name everything happened this episode without watching except the "nice girl" part so instead of getting "dem feels" i was mostly screaming at the MC,saying "come on,you fuckin destroyed a giant mecha and saved the heroine,ofc you passed hero exam stop the drama" |

| An okay episode. I still wished this had a faster pace though so we could move on to the good stuff. 3/5 |
| I may be weird for this... but I loved the way his broken limbs were flailing about. Also his mom is the cutest mom ever. |
| Boku no feels academia, Ost is really good, and animation is awesome |
 |
| Well that was incredibly predictable but still decent I guess |
  |
| This episode was great. Seeing him reach his goal was very touching. Loving this series so far. |
| Uravity is my favourite !! Midoriya x Ochako aka Uravity !!! :D |
 |
| oh hey an after-credits scene https://gfycat.com/SourGraciousAmericancicada |
|
| Looks like I found another annoying person to block on the forums. Keep up the good work. |
| :3 |
| The episode was pretty predictable, but an enjoyable ride nontheless. And the soundtrack is just beautiful. It fits the scenes very well and dismantles the "melodrama", which the show currently has. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
Fai said: dedeogbe said: The irony of all of his bullshit is that RWBY season 1 is just as guilty of all the problems he's keeps citing. First of all: offtopic Second of all: I already debunked that lie in previous threads. third of all: logical fallacies never work during debate Debunked? That's strange, all that I saw was statements being thrown around. Could you provide evidence for your statements because RWBY is still cliche ridden. Granted I will give it props for the silver eyes foreshadowing. But it is still a pretty bullshit overpowered skill developed to set apart the main character from the fodder. Just give up on BnH, the more anime you've watched the less refreshing it is, and I can tell you have some heavy personal bias on your rating. Take it like this, a lot of things that RWBY has done BnH has done, sometimes better, sometimes (One for all power up) worse. Here's some advice if you want something that implements cliches well, read Medaka Box. |

| This episode was really good. It was obvious that he was going to pass but the way they did it still made me all tight in the chest with anticipation. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first couple of episodes but this one was great and has me excited for the next. |
 |
| This episode showed one of my favorite parts in the manga and my god did they do justice to it. Amazing animation and amazing music for this episode. 5/5 |
 |
| That just goes to show how powerful and well directed this series is I'm with you here lol |

| The arms and legs after saving the girl were way too weird, lol. But great episode again, especially that moment when he went to save the girl. Glad he got accepted into the academy, even though it was no surprise. |

| Somebody should add drama tag, because feels are real! |
 |
Who knows it? Do you? Because I don't. |
| That SMASH scene was so friggin good! The animation on the punch was awesome! Iida getting frustrated with himself was a nice scene. And Ochako's such a cute. First with saving Izuku by a bitch slap and then negotiating to give him points <3 The acceptance scene was so much feelz T^T Deku's MOM is a cute. DAT PV tho. I can't wait to meet the rest of the cast. And Mineta already staring at Momo's ass lol PS...Aoyama..ur 2fab4me |

Just basing it on WSJ adaptations from these past two years, it's really safe to assume this will at least get a 2nd season, probably within 1.5 years after the end of S1. Even Souma got 2nd season with bad BD/DVD sales and the manga sales isn't really overly spectacular either. I don't see why this series won't, when it seems like they're really pushing it out as their next big shounen. My/Drake1000 point is, it has a long-running shounen story, with long-running shounen pace. How many cours/seasons it get won't change that. |

| This episode was amazing! Izuku's new quirk is so cool, but it's creepy after he uses it. XD Loved the part when he saved Ochako, and the end scene was so emotional! I was cheering so much for Izuku to pass the exam! He was very nervous but I knew that he was going to pass. That part when Izuku punched that robot was epic. And Ochako is so cute! 5/5. I'm really enjoying this anime. |

Fai said: If this was in anyway good show, we could maybe deal with the idea of destruction that "superheroes" cause and how unrealistically taxing it is for the normal people and the world. We would get actual politics and social commentary about idea of superhero and how nothing is clearcut black and white and how foolish the idea itself is, but nope. To be fair, the series does in fact dive into some of these issues later on, but this season will surely not get to these arcs. Fai said: This takes the superhero coat and puts it on generic shonen narrative. Well it is a WSJ Manga after all, so shounen narratives are to be expected to some extent... |
| I am looking forward to the Hero Academia highschool. It would be fun to see Almight as a teacher or something. Overall the series is a bit tóó dramatic. The MC keeps on crying and I get that.. but as a viewer I get tired of watching it (it loses its impact). I really like the girl OvO. She's cute ^^ |
 check out my twitch: https://twitch.tv/slowy |
| Okay episode, is it just me or are some people upset that others point out the show as being 'generic'? It is, still enjoyable tho. |
| so cliche yet so moving (ಥ﹏ಥ) BONES is on a roll this time |
| You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again. With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see. Many, many times.  |
| A touch cliche but its premiere is superheroes, what can you expect? I can't wait for Deku to stop crying so much. |
| I love how despite being predictably and have a lot of cliches (I predicted Deku wouldn't obtain any point, but would join to the school by doing some heroic action), the series just execute the scenes in a really good manner, thus making you feel moved/surprised with them. Ochako is pure waifu material, already loving her. I also like muscle glasses guy. Can't wait for the next episode. This is really good. |
 |
| Really enjoyed this ep and already can't wait for the next. So many feels! |
| I like this show but... damn. it is so slow... There are barely any conversation so far, only the MC mumbling all the time or whining during 3/4 before doing something cool. I know it is his personality and all but damn. I hope he loses that behavior later on. |
fatalystic said: Nah, The Sports Festival is when it really starts to changeFai said: This continues to be by-the-book derivative shonen filled with cliches beyond even definition of cringe. [omitted] 2/5 for the episode. As a manga reader, I can tell you it will remain more or less like this till we get to the Stain arc, which will probably be in the second half of the hypothetical second season since this will end with USJ. If you still hate it as of this episode, the upcoming ones aren't going to endear themselves to you any more than these did. If it's the story you hate, the studio isn't going to be able to change much since they're only in charge of the animation and possibly the direction if the director is with them, and this is an adaptation of a published work. |
| Does Izuku's power and the effects on his body remind anybody of Shizuo's (Durarara) situation as he grew up? |
 |
ItsXolo said: I really don't understand what the author was thinking when he decided "Yeah I'll make the MC of my battle shounen be a constant crying, nervous, shaky mess in literally every scene that he has. That'll make people like him!" If by "constant" you mean for the first few chapters, sure. We're only 4 chapters in, which it seems like a lot of people have failed to realize and take into account. |

xaos12 said: I feel the same waySo I think this will be the pacing now, nice. Bones is doing a good job so far adapting it. Best girl momo is yet to arrive though. XD Looking forward to some aizawa swag next episode lol. Tokoya said: Nah, The Sports Festival is when it really starts to change Agreed, although USJ arc sets the tone of the series I feel. Also, it's nice to see another fan of best girl Momo lol |
