Finished this series in 2 days. Really addictive. Although itīs really the cheapest kind of plot, which is also why I only gave it a 7/10 on MAL. Imagine taking the chunnin exam, condensing it into 13 episode, condensing it even further so that thereīs room for introducing the hero, and itīs not that hard to present an exciting show. But itīs lacking depth, both in characters and the world. When I watch HXH, Naruto, One Piece or Bleach, Iīm introduced to a believable world. Here, the world doesnīt feel real, itīs only a backdrop to put those super-heroes in front of and let them use their powers. Which is fine for what it is. But it could never compare to any of the aforementioned series.
Now I just have to decide which girl is hotter. Frog girl or insect girl. Hm.
Edit: Also, Deku reeeeally whined too much. He instantly reminded me of Tsukamoto from DAYS ;/
And also: I feel/felt so sorry for the mom She feels so miserable about somewhat giving up on her son. Even after all these years, itīs obvious how terrible she feels for what sheīs done. Probably got fat from depression, too. I want to hug her so badly :/
Edit 2: What also keeps this anime from being truly great/memorable is that nobody dies. It just cheapens the entire event. You have all those eeeeeevil villains attacking inexperienced kids. And none of the kids bites the bucket? Mhm. When it looked like Hand guy killed frog girl by turning her to dust, as much as Iīd have hated her of all people to die, THAT would have given the anime the long needed drama/tragedy. Ideally thereīd be even more dead students that we only find out about after the battle had ended. Not having any such deaths makes this a real kidīs anime. Itīs unfortunate.

"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Now you like fat girls?
Peace.
So you're the type to demand girls to slim down for you? Weren't you fat too?
I'm just kidding around. Don't get hurt now.
Peace.
Takes a lot for me to get hurt, Iīm used to it </triggeringmyshounenheropast>
Iīm still fat, though. But thatīs got nothing to do with it. Watching Dekuīs mom feeling so miserable over her words from years ago ... thatīs sooo sad. And thereīs nobody who tells her "Itīs okay.".
Also, while sheīs fat, she has a certain cuteness. And as we all know, cuteness is justice.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
The only fat things that are cute are cats, pandas, and teacup pigs. And some pokemon. Oh, and babies. Basically, it's exclusive to animals.
Peace.
Yes, but they said something was going to happen, so that almost feels the same.
At least I like that it continues where it left off. This anime just needs to keep going, itīs fine.

And the sports festival is on! Typical shounen pacing, but plenty of good action and set pieces on display here. Can't wait for next week.
I am sorry, there is only one important development in this episode.
Hatsume Mei appears for the first time.
Was a nice episode, although also very clearly an introductionary one. I wonder how Midorima is supposed to fight others. He cannot control his powers, yet. Even if he risks hurting himself ... heīll end up killing his opponents, lol.

I thought they said that as long as you stay on course, all rules are out.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I don't quite get why noboby else pushed forward when the robots when frozen. It's as if there was some extra rule that forced them to wait politely, and only try to proceed using their own means. That looked very unnatural.
HS - Episode 16
--------------------------------
The idea that you get hybrid powers from your parents might go either way. You could inherit the strengths of both and be stronger, go half-half and be just as powerful-but-different, or become weaker overall with slightly added utility.
Anyway, for the episode itself, I came out feeling pretty good. I'm just so used to watching Izuku struggle with his life that him pulling ahead so early on never came to my mind.
The perv is great.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Great episode, albeit this and Attack on Titan always feel SO short :/ Honestly takes away from my enjoyment because of how fast time flies while watching these. Oh well.
Agreed, the creep was nice. It was hilarious, not only because he was totally harassing the hot girl, but also because he clearly was beaten up by her, but kept clinging onto her, lol. Dat creep-dedication.
Midoriyaīs victory defies all laws of physics, but whatever, it felt good to see him win against the two big shots. And he acknowledges that he got lucky by finding the metal shield. Looking forward to what he does next. As I said: I wonder how he can use his power without killing someone, lol.
Asui continues to be best girl. sheīs quite skilled, but doesnīt give a shit about Midoriya passing her by. Good sport. Midoriya x Asui <3
Oh, the support class girl was SUPER annoying. Canīt stand her voice and arrogance.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
But Midoriya beats everyone once again without even using his ability.
You could argue Bakugo was his usual tsun brawler type and didn't use much of his powers and brains, but Todoroki was really trying hard and quite cleverly too. And his powers really are awesome, versatile and powerful. Even his physical condition is top class.
But he's been beaten by the MC, who is average and never used his power.
Somehow I felt it lessened the awesomeness of the others. They should have shown Midoriya using his powers when the bombs exploded to explain why he can take the massively killing acceleration he suffered and again when he crashes.
But using no powers at all is the dumbest idea they could come up with. Just makes you think that all in all, everyone from this prom is weak and those powers are for show, but useless.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I have no idea why, they gave her a really ugly-sounding VA. She's also new, this series is her debut.
That isn't remotely what I expected her to sound like. Give it time, her personality is great. But holy shit, what a voice mismatch.
Hahah, man, I never get tired of anime contests with bullshit rules.
Midorya is next rounds Golden Snitch, because he just wasn't willing to come in 3rd and just HAD to drag himself ahead of the others.
The teams have to be at least 2 people though, so SOMEBODY has to team with him.
