Huh, I actually meant the hot drink. I was just in japan and the fucking lemon tea is addictive as fuck, I'll buy it everyday.
Edit: Still creepy tho.

Any previous Superman VA would be terrible for All Might. Superman is generally portrayed way too stoic for All Might and his VAs follow suit. Something like GI Joe or even Captain Planet fit closer in tone (but even less available). Considering Funimation's limited choices in a simultaneous dub (aka Texas VAs), Sabat using his Armstrong/Piccolo voice was the most suitable choice.
King Murder Explosion? I'm pretty that was it if they allow it or not.

They sorta truncated the code names bit, actually. Bakugou takes another shot (demotes himself to Baron of Explodo-Kills) but that gets shot down and he's basically in the same boat as Iida and Todoroki by default.

That's not exactly a titulating picture there. It's just Uraraka hanging out wearing normal clothes (aside from the Mineta hat thing).
My exact face when Midnight was re-introduced the way she was this episode: ಠ_ಠ
I really, really, really wish we could've had a more badass design for the only female teacher at UA. Sigh. Thinking a little too much with your lower half there, Horikoshi.
That aside, I enjoyed the thought put into the naming scene. Some interesting choices there, though a lot were really obvious ("Invisible Girl" - like she was ever going to pick anything else). Thinking about it, I realized I, myself, would probably be paralyzed with indecision were I forced to make a choice on the spot.
Jirou poking fun at Kaminari and then running up in front of the class during his retort was pretty adorable, as was Tsuyu's choice of name (yes, Froppy, we love you!). Looking forward to seeing Midoriya finally progress past the point of self-harm. "You can do it", indeed.
Iida's totally going to pull people into his little roaring rampage of revenge, isn't he? I can already guess how this is going to play out. If nothing else, this should be a fun watch. A shame we get a big ol' nothing next week, though. Them's the breaks!

It's a good thing Marvel renamed Sue Storm into Invisible Woman (& that they don't give a flying fuck about the Fantastic Four at the moment) or they'd sue.

The animation fell off a cliff this week. They're probably all dead after the last few episodes, so it's ok, although a bit sad.

Saw some discussion about the English dub above - I personally love the dub to bits, but I tend to enjoy really good dubbed shows. It's good when a show just comes down to taste rather than the dub just being terrible so there's no valid choice.
I have to say that I'm pleased we're back onto the real plot after the standard tournament arc that seems to plague these sorts of shows. Like most of the standard tropes MHA smashes it out of the park in plot and execution, but I'm here for Midoria character progression and we didn't get a huge amount of it for most of the past 12 episodes.
What we did get was a lot of time spent fleshing out the supporting cast, which is good for a show like this.
But if we're getting an A and B plot now (Midoria learning to control his power and Iida's path) that should be a lot of fun. I like Iida and his current plot is probably the most interesting thing on the show right now.

I'd kill to see Hamill play Present Mic.
i feel like whoever was keyarting this ep couldn't quite get a handle on kirishima's design.
shit that would be amazing

Froppy is the best.
Hell yeah
Midnight doesn't know what she's talking about. 'Alien Queen' was a way cooler name and more fitting for Mina's power-set.
A bad part of me really wants Bakugou's name to be King of Explodo-kills by the end of the series.
I expect the next couple episodes to really be tight on the budget so the back half can look bonkers. I am sure they will polish some of it for the blu ray release too.
And yes, I dunno why Alien Queen didn't pass but Grape Juice and Can't Stop Twinkling did.

One thing that kinda baffled me about the naming sequence (here and in the manga) was that the expectation presented by Midnight is that these are likely to be the kids' final hero names, the ones everyone knows them by. Which feels like a lot to place on some highschool first years!
Maybe it's just a cultural thing?

I don't think it's a spoiler but his hero name has yet to be seen in the manga so far. I think it be cool if he went with a name like Big Bang. That's a cool name.
i mean it's like picking a band name right, you can always try and reformat but it's a heap of trouble sometimes
midnight should've just been like "THEY STILL OWN THE COPYRIGHT YOU CAN'T DO THAT" and moved on

It's highschool, and they're still not through first semester! shit moves faaaaast.
It is a lot more like college though. Part of that is that the series was originally supposed to be set in college before editorial stuck its oar in, and part of it's that the UA hero course is more like a trade school than a regular high school. Plus, Class A in particular is on an accelerated schedule 'cause they seem to be villain magnets.
I'm sure some will change their names like Iida.
Well, Froppy did too. And it actually makes sense because everyone except Ochako sees Deku as an insult.
Froppy doesn't talk much, so it's okay for her to do it. And I know it makes sense, I just found it amusing.

I just binged the entire series in the past week. Currently finding out now the season just ended. What a time to be alive.
We still have 13 more episodes of Season 2 to go.

Somehow that part was really, really cute.
I just don't know why it was the case, if it was the name, or the way she introduced it, the reaction from the classmates, or the scene overall.
I'm so confused, but I know it was just plain adorable.
Yeah, I thought that was a nice detail.
Probably presents a wrong image to the public? Don't forget that heroes don't do their work for free.
I'm sure some one called Alien Queen will have her own set of fans, it's a better name anyway

Maybe English word "Alien" just associated more with Xenomorphs in Japan, so its like the default thing you would think of over there.
