What i pointed out in this episode was when Aizawa told to Izuku "Do you believe i have 1 special power?" Something like this! I really loved the episode <3

Really hated this episode. The plot is already showing the author's lack of ability. Pun certainly not intended. I can understand wanting to put some light-hearted comedy in a story. But a HERO-TRAINING academy that allows only the BEST OF THE BEST who are expected to one day use their ABILITIES to save countless lives letting some brat who's ability is sticky hairballs into the school is just flat-out garbage writing. I'm not even going to delve into the entrance exam.

It seems I was right when I wanted to call this BONES' One-Punch Man; all fluff and heart without a real plot. Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe hairballs kid can explode them when he focuses or something. That'd be nice but boy do I doubt it.

Osts amazingly intense.
Some good Eraser fights & Midoriya tactics. Expected more from ballboy but that's ok.
Yoyorozu got more similarities to Sonohara Anri than just Saika.

Wow this show is fucking awesome, I absolutely love how their doing it. I love the animation, the music, the pacing is great not to fast where it feels rushed and not so slow it feels like a chore to watch. I'm 100% buying the manga(& anime when its released) of this, I need more of this in my life<3 Its completely blown my initial expectations for it out of the water.

When the purple kid explained his quirk, his face & everyones reactions had me dying. Its been quite awhile since I've legit laughed hard at something. Really liked that we got to see some action from more than just the main crew & spread some of the glory, I didn't want to like Tsu just because of her design but now that we've gotten to actually see her I think shes pretty dope. They're all pretty dope really xD.

Being a hero is not all about beating the villains. That's why All Might trained Midoriya by telling him to clean the beach. For similar reason the entrance exam had the rescue point which was kept secret from the examinee.

While Mineta's quirk is not suitable for fighting it can be used for other purposes. For example, he can stick the balls to the wall & use them as footholds to climb it over. Depending on the situation, that climbing ability can be used for rescue purpose. The sticky balls can also be used to restrain defeated villains so that they can't run away.

Very amusing first encounter with the villains. Eraserhead was pretty cool when he was fighting against many villains at once. It's fun to see how midoriya always comes up with a plan even though his possibilities are limited.

And then this :

There was some overthinking on Midoriya's side so this episode felt slow, but overall it was a decent one. Also it was a nice opportunity to see some quirks working together.

He's starting to get it I feel like. It'll only be a matter of time before Izuku is able to use One for All. Just gotta make sure that egg doesn't crack.

Tsu, Izuku, and Mineta make a good team. That was a good combination to work off each others strengths.

I can see how Mineta's quirk has the potential to be more than one would expect but overall I agree that sticky hair ball quirk doesn't really scream "best of the best" to me. I don't think he belongs at UA unless he can make those balls explode, see the future, or do something more. At the end of the day I don't mind sticky ball quirk kid but if he has a deus ex machina moment I am going to flip my laptop...

If we go by that logic, then the old nurse doesn't belong to UA because her fighting capability is even lower than Mineta. But we all know that's not the case because her recovery kiss can help a lot of people including the injured front line heroes. She is not the best fighter for sure, but there's no doubt that she is the best support. A healer in this case.

Ugh, so much boring dialogue. How can you have an entire episode of a room filled with a bunch of characters with superpowers and not have anything exciting going on? Those villains just sit there waiting in the water while the heroes calmly tell us what powers they have. SHOW, don't tell. They shouldn't be wasting all that time on telling us what they can do, but show us instead.
It's a shame, because some of those villain designs look really cool, but they don't seem to be all that intimidating since they seem to just wait around for the heroes to do anything. There's no tension whatsoever.

Cool episode. Aizawa is a badass.

Momo looking so fine pulling that weapon out of herself. Her quirk. Could it be?

I think...I like Tsu now.

Minoru continues to be a BOSS!

Deku being cool again. Would be nice if he would stop calling out the name of All Might's moves.

Secrete.

That was intense. Man Aizawa is such a bad ass. No wonder that he's one of the elite heros.

Of course Bakugou and Kirishima without any hesitate attacking that shadow guy. He has a interesting ability. Good thing that they don't know anything about the abilities of the students, otherwise they would have been in a pretty bad position.

Finally we saw the director but I don't really know what to think about him xD
Tsuyu is pretty cool and it's nice to see her with more screentime. Also that they explained their abilities more precisely. You could see it in the episodes before but Minoru is a little pervert :D

Deku again such a badass. That was pretty crazy but at the same time painful to see his fingers flopping around :<

And it also seems like this scary hand guy is about to make his move.

Noiceeeeee *thumbs up*

Rewind back to earlier episodes and even All Might is scared. He said it himself that his smile was a way to convince himself that he can be the #1 hero. Deku is the same C: I guess it's all the traits that the One For All generation has in common-- the ambition to work hard when all odds are against you, the reflexes when you want to save others, and bravery to move forward when you're scared shitless :')

I'm glad Deku seems to be motivational towards the other students. In this ep, it was Mineta. Just like how he got Baka Baku to realize he needs to step up from square 1. And the other students during the battle test after seeing how his hero team handled the encounter with the first team villain.

Deku is a storm slowly influencing those around him ^-^

This was a fairly slow episode, considering how little actually happened. But that's fine, I enjoyed seing Tsu-chan in action, and Deku successfully working out a strategy with her. The other students got a few moments to shine, too. Except for Mineta, who was even more annoying than before. Well, he has been a useless little creep all along, but at least I used to be able to ignore him.

It was nice to meet the principal, poor All Might got scolded. The principal raised some good points.

Ok frog girl can jump not fly. the boat was in the middle of the pond and she had to hold that shorty and then grasp the main on top of that.
Carring someone and graping someone severely limits the distance you can jump. By doing those things together she should normally jump at beast a little more than a normal human and they should ended up in the water but they made her seem like she was flying.
Bare in mind she a girl and therefore light, she doesn't have the weight to drag the main by her body momentum.
