Yeah lol I was looking at them and like... "Is that supposed to be Todoroki's arm?"
Man i can't wait to hear Class B's Mister Jerk, hope the VA did a good job.
Ahahah this is so cool.
Ahahah this is so cool.
Boku no Heroe's OP2 has grown on me.
Here's some dope shit i noticed about the OP:
I think Deku is training on the rooftop where he first sees All Might?
Bakugou is training in the ruins of the second floor where Deku defeated him
Iida on the floor below
Red Riot next to Bakugou
Oocha on the beach that Deku cleaned (maybe?)

It's still a bit low-key for me, but yeah, that was cool.
Still love that Horikoshi didn't mean to make Monoma a jerk, but doubled down on it anyway.

I'm glad nobody said anything about Tokoyami. Since that's the kind of thing anime thread usually spoil. Let these anime watcher be happily surprised.
But speaking about the op I agree that the more you watch it, the better it gets. It was already great the first time, now it's one of my fav.
What really gets me hyped through the roof right now is that with that small tease of the TodoxDeku fight in the op and the badass Todo moment in episode 2....I don't think my heart will able to take it. I mean the All Might vs Noumu fight was so much more then I expected that I was kind of crying with joy. Gimme my anime!!!!

That's a really cute pic! MHA boys are best boys!Theres so many things I love about this picture. https://twitter.com/10wka/status/850324145325752320
i was really hyped for deku to style on the bots this time around and then it didn't happen
i gotta say it's really satisfying watching the support classes be like 'man, fuck class a, they ain't shit' and then for class A to just blow everyone out of the water right off the bat

It's too bad they spoiled Chuunibird's power in the first season.
Anime watchers won't have the same experience of Deku winning the first event, becoming THE target for the chariot game, seeing Deku get what appears to be the worst group ever, and then seeing Chuunibird's power shine.

Did they? I can't remember.

In the 1st season they showed him effortlessly crushing fuckers during USJ break in.
Oh damn never thought of it that way
If you DTL full name three times you either get yaoi fanart or knock from the door by either Chris Hansen or the FBI
Same here.
The main trio was Deku/Ochako/Iida at that point and I fully expected them to team up.
But nooooope, Horikoshi said NO and paired him up with some random side characters.
And knowing Deku isn't dumb I was excited to see whatever the hell the madman was planning.

What people werent joking?! The djs and arts were real?!
I wish we got more of these discussions with kaminari, sero, bakugou, kirishima and co, so much good times, and Bakugou displaying his care and concern for his crew pumping up Kirishima. If only the people who truly dislike him could see these moments of his kindness more often. He's treated so unfairly.

lol. The guy that bullied another student mercilessly for years, and even suggested he commits suicide, is treated unfairly.
Remmeber he also could have killed or critically injure Deku in one of ther first class
He's just misunderstood

OMG! KIRISHIMA! YOU SEXY BEAST! RED RIOT UN-FREAKIN-BREAKABLE! HE IS JUST WAY TOO COOL!
Really loved the Kacchan wisdom moment there. Kirishima having the *Stands through anything* quirk is just so right for his personality.
Really curious/worried on how long the quirk-nullifying bullet works.

Illegals was pretty good, though the artist didn't really do a good job of conveying a sense of speed in any of the chases.
Also, yeah, Ingenium showing up was a surprise. I guess it's gotta be a prequel. Guess they never shut down that drug ring after all.
I also find myself wanting to see how Crawler handles his new jogging buddy getting paralyzed. Wonder if the timelines will ever intersect like that?

Man, Illegals made Ingenium far more likable and retroactively made Stain more of an asshole and what he did more terrible.
MHA goes very fast, so Illegals seems to be around where the original series started, I guess we'll get clues of how exactly the stories connect later on. Honestly I am really enjoying Illegals so far.

I liked the latest chapter of Illegals but I'm still not really a fan of it. It's like if Horikoshi did MHA but instead of himself he was Generic Shonen Author 5.

That really describes it so well. It also creates a neat space where we get two works of the same idea/universe and you can see the difference in character writing and action and art and all that jazz.
Yeah, agreed. I'm not super into it, but it seems like this is the writer's first time doing anything, and in that respect, it's more forgivable.
I could see him becoming a great writer in the long run, but Illegals isn't quite there yet.

It just leans too heavily into all the tropes that MHA avoids, which is what makes MHA so good.
I will admit, that Wasp/Beehive girl is pretty legit tho

I wouldn't say MHA avoids the Tropes per say, but that's a bit off-topic right now. You're right Illegals hits them full force tho, which is the tell-all mark of inexperience. It just comes off as generic most of the time with nothing to really elevate it. You know what would be neat? Compare this to Horishiki's(I know I know, I am terrible at spelling names/remembering names, it'll never change) earlier works like the circus one. That was also kind of generic in a lot of ways, but I still think it had enough interesting stuff to make it an alright read. I can't really say the same about Illegals right now tho.

At least Illegals is still better than Horikoshi's second main work Bugle. The one-shot was at least okay, but the real series was straight up shit.

Barrage imo had tons of cool ideas, a strong start and great characters. It sad it ended in such a way just for it to conclude. Really, The only bad part of Barrage is like the second half of volume 2.
Also reading Horikoshi's end of volume comments broke my heart.

You got the order of his work wrong.
Its Zoo->Barrage->MHA.
Huh, weird. Didn't feel that way at all!
Zoo was cancelled right?
Maybe he thought it would turn out better if he just went generic full shonen instead.
Then that failed even harder and he went 'fuck it, I'll just do what I want' with MHA.
makes sense, especially if the editor interference thing is true.
guess it's good that things worked out in the end!
Just caught up on Illegals.
I find it hilarious that the Wolferine and Cyclops lookalikes are recurring side-characters.
On a whole it's still fairly average, and the art isn't as sharp as Horikoshis.
...Is what I wanted to say before chapter 7, but that one was legit.
Ingenium is such a cool dude.
