Zalmox1s said: More like Boku no Generic Genericness. Really disappointing start, it brought absolutely nothing new to the table, the classic weak / crybaby underdog MC story. It looks really, really low budget, even the stills looks really bad, tho i don't know if that's the artstyle from the manga or the budget for this was really really small. I totally agree. To be honest I wasn't expecting much to begin with, I'm only watching it because I've got nothing better to do :p |

| "Here it is ! Here it is ! Here it is ! Here it is ! Here it is !" This was GREAT ! I loved the opening and the soundtracks ! I was so moved on by Deku's past and his struggle of being quirkless in this episode compared to the manga. This might be even better than the manga. This is me right now  I'd give it an 8 already but I don't rank shows from only one episode. Too bad it's only 13 episodes though. With 85 chapters they could have done about 24 episodes I think. |

| A very, very tidy first episode! |
| Have not read the manga. But this first episode was good. Will watch more. |
| Already read the manga, but when Izuku cried in front of his screen and the mother then began to cry with him, I shed a few tears. |
 |
| Dont know about the manga but im looking forward to this, so far (maybe a but too early) this looks like the anime of the season for me ^^ It has a "one punch man" vibe to it, nice. |

| Haven't read the manga, but I loved it. Seriously can't wait for the next episode. Soundtrack is awesome. |
KilluaX4 said: Do they? From the first episode the world and the overall atmosphere seems much closer to something like OPM, at least to me.ColdBreeze said: First episode was fine. Looking forward for more. Some people compare this to HxH, but why? I think that both series have the same kind of feeling to it. Anyway, I really enjoyed this first episode. This is like your typical start to a shounen jump title, but the visibly high production values give it a little edge over similar older and/or longer-running shows. Special mention to the exquisite color palette and the very solid animation. However, I regret the overuse of the "brightness reduction" technique, which I feel really begins to lose in impact and effectiveness when it goes on for too long, as exemplified by the action scenes in the OP and the one with slimy villain vs All Might. Other than that no complaints, really. Midoriya is your run-of-the-mill "0 to hero" type of main character but I'm willing to give him a pass because he looks absolutely adorable and the faces he makes are hilariously .GIF-worthy. Can't say I'm blown away just yet but I'm definitely feeling it, so I'll stick around. |

| Great first episode. I actually feel so sorry for him here that I laugh. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
Yes, yes. Very good. |
One of the few times Funi gets it right. |
| Neat first episode. Great soundtrack, solid animation and VAs. I just hope it doesn't devolve into the "he had the best powers all along!" cliche. |
 |
| I actually enjoy the slower pace, as others said the first chapter was long, and I find the first episode gripped you without giving too much away. The people already dropping this confuse me, what happened to the 3 episode trial? The colours and art style are pretty refreshing, it's almost western with a hint of kid-friendliness. And for some reason I found the ep gave a sense of nostalgia, be it from me remembering the first chapter or remembering what it's like to have a role model that's pretty out of reach. Deku is a great characters, give him time, just because he's not kicking ass now doesn't make him weak. One of the main things I'm looking forward to most is the character development, just sit tight it's only the first episode. |
 |
| BEST GIRL Frog will get too much attention.  |
| Am I the only one who disliked the way they interpreted the scenes? When Bakugou bullies Midoriya in the manga it felt serious and dramatic, but in the anime it just felt comedic with all the sound effects. The OP and ED are alright though, and the animation is fine I guess. Pacing is pretty slow but I can hang with this |
| The first episode was Really Realy good imo, pacing wise i thought it was fine im sure this show will get renewed for a second season regardless, Katsuki was really funny and has great chemistry with Deku on screen, Im looking forward to seeing the rest of this anime i think it'll be better than OPM imo 5/5 |

This is just your typical shounen which is done a bit better with higher quality compared to others so people shouldn't really be expecting something special in a short time just because it's not long-running or has only 13 episodes at the moment. It can't be helped that this seems to be overhyped but that's just because lots of people enjoyed this and that doesn't necessarily means the series should be outstanding or something. Believe me that Deku is actually one of the better MC in a shounen, just give him some time to develop and you'll see. |

salmon-kun said: so when is the mc going to kick monster ass on a side note, i feel the mc for having nice big dreams, but i already gave mine up I hope sometime in this season. Lol. Its really slow paced. Sports Festival Arc is where story gets really good and has really awesome character developments. |

| The op is great. Bones animation quality is great. The concept and the story is tired and done thousand times over. I mean this is basically Naruto in spandex. Same old same tired same generic cliched "teenager underdog wants to achieve great things" kind of story without any sort of unique twist. I can already imagine ten thousand tournament arcs and all the other DBZ/Naruto stuff. Might stay solely for Studio Bones never disappointing with quality and style( a lot of Concrete Revolutio style elements in the way it is show, which is always a plus). A popcorn level of show to fill time while waiting for each new ConRevo S2 episode (especially if people like Yutaka Nakamura would get to animate some fights). 3/5 for the episode. Solid 6/10 start for the anime. |

| Definitely one of the best shows alongside JoJo. The first episode was perfect from beginning to end. That Porno Grafiti OP is insane. Love the artwork and the voice acting. |
| Great first episode. I don't know why, but I just felt really happy watching this. I don't care how "generic" it is, it's fun to watch and that's all that matters. Not everything has to be something new. Have some fun once in your lives. But man, I really love Bakugou. He was even trending on twitter earlier, lol. |
| I gotta say Bones did the first ep justice ! :D |
 |
| poor tree dude, Lady is a "devil" xD poor Deku-kun, getting bullied by the flaming dude & reality :u Texas Smash? what is great about stupid Texas? xD (spongebob joke :u) All Might is interesting I knew that the manga is pretty popular, so I'm sure that it will be enjoyable :D |
| It's just the same thing over and over again. Set in a world where superpower is usual thing (and it never explained), and our MC is someone who born in a family who can casting a superpower and attend a hero school but he alone has no superpower, and of course he'll be has something special to tackle its disadvantage (which I believe his partner). His characters are just basically every shounen hero, wimp, coward but kind. I haven't read the manga but I'm sure that the guy who bullying him will become his best friend later on. It just your typical shounen series no more no less. The good thing is that it is quite watchable so far Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| This kept me interested, despite me not being interested in super heroes or anything related. |
| Really like this episode despite how generic the story is. |
 |
You mean the premise ? it wasn't the problem even though there's something like Sky High. the story and the character is. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Nice start. OP/ED are decent, and the animation looks good. The slower pace it's going seems to be more appealing (pity it's only having 13 episodes so far). I'm especially loving the ost too. |
 |
| Izuku is trying too hard hope he find a hero in himself soon |
 |
| Episode was so generic but not in a bad way. I thought the execution and exposition were pretty well-done. Love the Haikyuu-esque ost which was really obvious. Setting reminded me of OPM like others have said. Some comedy parts were good some were awks tho~ OP is pretty okay, only actually liked the chorus. |
It was only a matter of time. |
| It was a good first episode, really liking the art style and music. The OP was really good as well. And can't wait to see more of the characters that were shown as well. |
 |
| One thing that bugs me though |
   |
| Solid first episode. Strong points were the mom-little deku crying scene and the general atmosphere/tone setting. Weak points (at least for me) were the comedy and the classroom bullying. The latter came off as a little on the nose and over the top. Came for colorful characters and fun action. I still have no reason to think I won't get it so I'm exciting for next weekend. Surprised at some of the criticisms I've been seeing though. You all did know that this was going to be a light-hearted shounen, right? |
 |
| Despite being a bit generic, this was a rather great 1st episode, I haven't seen such a good 1st episode for a seasonal show in awhile. I really hope the show keeps it up, because I can see it being one of the best from this show if that is so. |
 |
| Not bad for the episode 1, All Might is great!!!! |
 |
| Pacing was really slow, enjoyed every second anyway. |
