Show is amazing! Kugisaki is life lol I'm gonna update the OT later with her added. As we head towards the end of the season, I'm gonna change the poll to who is your favorite character like I did with Demon Slayer and I'm totally gonna pick Kugisaki if nobody cooler than her arrives lol

I'm liking this show a lot but people in the reddit threads are simping to degrees I don't even understand. Like these characters "feel so natural like real people" etc like bruh they feel like anime characters. Solid ones so far but not like beyond anime status lol.

Got kinda turned off after realizing this is based on an ongoing manga. This is gonna be one of those shows that's never gonna end isn't it?

Really enjoyed the team dynamic going here with the introductory episodes and I'm hoping to see how it develops more.

Kind of a weird way to end the episode though (and when it transitions into the ed, lol).

Facts which is why I wanted icyflamez96 to define what he thinks simping even is

I commonly see it used as someone putting something on a mega high pedestal. I my case I'm not saying it for that, (I'm not callin it out because people are loving things, I mean there's a lot good here) but some of the specifics of what these comments are saying seem to just be warping reality lol.

There was a thread that caught my eye started by a person saying they feel like "real people" and not just anime characters (to which he excluded only the principal lol). Like these are solid introductions but this definitely doesn't transcend anime to "real people" status.

Depends on the concept of the show, but I like that this is still ongoing. I just looked at the chapter count and I'm like "only 126". Yeah I'm good.

Author said this in a recent interview:
"I have already decided on the end of the manga and also the main arcs of the story. The path between the two remains fairly free."

Though that last part may not ease your concern.

TBH this is actually a feeling I get. They're still definitely *characters*, but they're characters that feel like people as opposed to characters that feel like caricatures or idealized representations. They're like real teenagers, to a much greater extent than most anime teens.

What is this poll? Obviously the hair strand is the least worst plus you won't be severely weakened by *checks notes* water.
I voted finger 😎

I think Devil Fruit is in the lead because One Piece is crazy popular and because most don't realize there are downsides to Devil Fruit.

And don't worry. I'm gonna change the poll to who is your favorite character in JuKai later down the road lol

For one, the powers in One piece are way cooler than the superpowers in MHA. For another, our world isn't a big ocean with a bunch of islands you can only reach by boat, avoiding water is rather easy. But even in OP it's hardly ever a bother when one of them hits the water. Of course the finger just gets you cursed, so that's the obvious one to avoid.

I'm actually really curious on how Mappa are gonna animate the Domains. I guess we'll get the first one with Sukuna.

....you have a Jojo avatar
I mean, JoJo "restarts" every once in a while, it doesn't suffer the problem other big shounen have where it just keeps going and going and kinda starts wandering aimlessly. (Sure Part 7 took 7 years and Part 8 is at it's 9th year, but that's more due to changing to the Seinen magazine and becoming monthly, on average Parts before that took 3 years to finish off)

I can easily say this is my favorite ED of all time. The fact that I'm actually urged to watch it and not just skip it already puts it in the top 5%.

TBH this is actually a feeling I get. They're still definitely *characters*, but they're characters that feel like people as opposed to characters that feel like caricatures or idealized representations. They're like real teenagers, to a much greater extent than most anime teens.

Well as long as it's not literally.

I want to know beforehand: is this yet another shonen where the female team member is forgotten or jerked around by the mangaka?

Well, we're only 120 odd chapters in ("only"), so there's still plenty of room to fuck up, but so far I'd say Nobara is treated better than a lot of other female team members. She gets fights, has a personality outside of pining for the male cast, etc etc. Fingers crossed.

Well that's good to know. I got alil afraid initially when I saw her powers that it would be a case where it's alil broken so the author like I'm not gonna use you alot

She's definitely more of a secondary character than Megumi and Yuji, but she regularly gets action scenes and she's come up clutch in a few fights. No spoilers, but I'm mostly happy with how she's handled.

Yea Nobara is great and her interactions with everyone especially with Yuji is fantastic. As you have seen from episode 3.

She has a quirky personality that makes her character shine. She's the last character you should be worried about in terms of being handled properly. I say the author has been good about handling the characters so far.

So on a scale from 1 (Hajime no Ippo) to Kenichi (5) to Tower of God (10), how crazy unrealistic is the fighting in this?
