Another great episode! It was really cute when midoriya's mom complimented him before he left for school! :) Also, glad to see he's at least minimizing his injuries when he uses his powers. So far, I think the pacing of the anime is alright but I wonder how they will finish this anime in 8 episodes. We shall see.

To everyone, just let Fai keep babling by himself. Seems like He likes to be the center of attention. Just ignore him, and he will dissapear by himself.

God, I just came here to watch all the bullying over Fai, and now he dropped the series, that's so sad...

Anyway, as good as always, but as in the manga, this part from my very own opinion, is pretty slow, but not bad, this arch, is kinda slow, so It's ok. What It comes after this episode is just amazing, I'm at the edge of my couch (well actually a bed), waiting for the Devu vs Bakugou fight.

4/5 (Just as in the manga).

Midoriya, my boy! This is what I was saying to my friends who were complaining because of him crying, I tried to not spoil by just saying "just let him grow a bit, c'mon..." ayyyy <3
I'm really liking what Sakura is doing for Ochako, I'm loving how she sounds...
But the fact we have to wait more to hear to Tsuyu ;__; I just want to hear her! best girl of the series.

Man this reminds me so much of Naruto... nice episode.


yeah same here.

  • Izuku and Katsuki = Sasuke and Naruto
  • All Might = Jiraya
  • Aizawa = Kakashi
  • Aizawa/Kakashi start by administering a seemingly impossible test
  • Izuku and Naruto are both bullied that they can't be a hero/ninja


I know I'm probably being a bit overly critical and I know I'm only 5 eps into the show right now, but I hope the show starts to be a bit more unique.

You got the comparisons all wrong.

Izuku is most similar to Rock Lee not Naruto (except for the bullying part I guess)

Izuku born without a quirk, an undergod = Rock Lee unable to do ninjutsu
Izuku gets his body damaged severly by his own moves = Rock Lee after he opens the gates
both are big fans of the color green

The relationship between All Might and Izuku. And Might Guy and Rock Lee is too similar.

It really doesn't have much similarities with another series besides this due to the underdog motif.

You definitely raise some good points and I see where you're coming from, but I guess I'll explain my comparisons a bit. I was comparing Izuku and Katsuki because of the whole childhood friends becoming rivals thing. I compared All Might to Jiraya because they're both known as legendary heroes who eventually train the main character.

DEKU'S MUM BEST CHARACTER TBH

I'm loving every moment of this adaptation! It's so loyal to the manga it's amazing, and tbh it's giving me more of an impact than the manga as well. I'm so proud of Izuku, so proud.

I'm waiting for the people who hate Kacchan slowly be forced to love him, it happens, I'm still denying it. (Best girl Tsuyu appearance tho)

Something about this show doesn't do it for me.
I'm not exactly sure what it is either since I usually eat up this kind of stuff.

LordPerucho said:
My issue with Deku was mostly his seiyuu sounded cringeworthy everytime he was crying or whining.

I kind of agree, he's a bit grating sometimes.
Although those ~62 eps of Yowamushi Pedal made me get used to his seiyuu's voice.

LOL. He reminded me of him. Good episode with the introductions of Midoriya's classmates and their abilities.

Nope. I don't know what he means by saying people will love him, his personality is more or less the same. And his problems with Deku get worse if anything.

I like him as a character but he is really awful as a person.

That's a shame.
Not that I want him to be nice but it's frustrating (to me) to see him yelling/degrading Deku for seemingly trivial things.
Though I do remember from whatever little I read of the manga that the mangaka said he purposely created his character to be really awful in that way.
Well he certainly was successful then.

Aizawa is creepy, but he made a good job for his first lesson. This cancellation power seems very useful.

No, he's stays a shitty person but he's actually a pretty developed and complex character, it just depends on whether you are interested in him and take the time to see how he grows. I personally love him, he's actually one of and if not my favourite character, and he has plenty of room to continue to develop. (Also, his whole strife with Deku does die down, I'm not saying it disappears completely, but it definitely calms a bit)

My whole 'everyone will love him' was a bit jokey since he has grown on quite a lot of the manga readers, but of course some people will still see him as an ass (he is) and continue to dislike him, just depends on the impression he puts on you.

Seems they are really going slow on the pace for MHA anime.
Oh well, it is nice to see the other students too, and of course Eraser Head-sensei too. Perfectly voiced by Junichi Suwabe.

The anime started off slow, but episode 5 is really where it took off. The cast of characters, the different personalities bouncing off each other, not just Midoriya and All Might himself anymore.

I'm actually glad I read the manga first, because I definitely wouldn't have been able to sit through the 1st episode, much less to the 5th - it was that slow starting.

All things considered, this isn't AoT, Bakemonogatari, Ano Hana, Psychopass... this is Shonen. Same league as One Piece (the author once submitted OP fanart to Oda), and with inspiration from Naruto. Whoever goes in expecting deep social commentary, divisive themes, etc. is definitely setting himself up for disappointment.

It's cliche yet entertaining, which puts it in amazing territory. Would be good if the anime continues the pacing of episode 5.

I honestly think this show should speed up now at this point. My feels are starting to ran out because I want something to happen right now. We are at episode 5, and I supposed it is an ample time for the build up. Let the main firework begin.

the attendants of ua high now have to prove themselves whether they r capable of being a hero or not, this will be determined by having them compete against each other. in this competition their abilites have to be used in the most appropriate manner which in return leads to some interesting events, for example the fact that deku now is getting a better sight of his own strenght given to him by all might.

also deku seems to be somewhat intelligent as he is able to solve the problem he was facing by sheer logic.

"When did he get so cool!" —All Might(Dub), 2016

This kid uses his brains. I like that. Even I didn't figure it out as the solution.

But this show's gonna get annoying if every episode consists of him going against seemingly impossible situations.
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA!
