MHA got too heavy with too many heroes; Once Shoto got the juice, Tenya might as well died.
I feel like Hori inspired to create his own MCU Avengers but he needed to make his foundation and never did so. Thus so many heroes and how many did we give a damn about. Even just with the main class it’s really just the big 3 of Deku, Bakugo & Shoto. The rest might as well not exist.

The power scaling is beyond a mess. The start of S7 where they had to use mountains of exposition to justify shyt happening :unimpressed:

Hell Deku getting multiple quirks gets in the way of one of the main themes in the series how anyone can be a hero.

Added to the point of MHA doesn’t know how to write SoL like Iruma-kun. In that one it dives into each member of the class and fleshes them out. Meanwhile with MHA well I already said it above no point repeating myself.

MHA is basically on Fairy Tail level. Demon Slayer & JJK writing is pretty average but it’s still way better then these two in the battle shounen department. Not even talking about animation and fights. Where those two blow MHA & Fairy Tail out of the park.

A delinquent series needs a proper antagonist and so far, there isn't one. Maybe it comes at the end of this season, but the threat to the group is non-existent. Basically, there is no tension. (I think this is what you mentioned before) I thought Togame was cool, but the whole Ume & Chouji fight was just so weird. Ultimately, the show has an identity crisis at this point.
Kisaki woulda put a bullet in one of them nikkas by now :dead: shyt's hilarious to think about

Would've been interesting if he was able to split up his quirks with other quirkless people instead of him having 20 different people's quirks by himself and basically cheating the game

Honestly, would be a much better executed way of doing things then they actually did. Really showed how Hori fumbled the bag.

His art is great, but man needs to take a step back before writing manga again.

You got to give Apocalypse Hotel a chance. The comedy's writing and directing is top-notch. Also, the writing is superb as well. How it handles different themes in the most subtle way is really good. Def a sleeper that I could see many people miss.

Also the animation is very good like in today's episode.

This fukking insult I can't :deadrose: :russ:

I'll give this a try on a slow day, but just from reading the synopsis, it doesn't sound all that interesting.

Watched Wolf Children for the first time in theaters last night when it was showing in 4K resolution. Man this shyt was a masterpiece. It was great through the first 2 acts, but the final act was where it took it to something special :mjcry: :wow:

Over the weekend, I watched Wolf Children for the first time with it being released in 4k in theaters. Man I heard great things about it, but it really turned into something special.

The first act was a bit slow. Though we see Hana falling for Ookami. Kind of going through their time together. Though the moment that he has the courage to tell Hana that he is part wolf. Of course, it's easy to understand why he feared telling Hana this. Of course, that doesn't bother Hana because she loves him for who he is rather than what he is.

Sadly, the real story doesn't start till Ookami dies and Hana is alone with her 2 kids, Yuki & Ame. Being a single mother is hard enough as it is, but for Hana, she also has to take care of 2 kids who were part wolf. Hana has no one she go to, so she has to carry the shoulders by herself. When Yuki is sick she is held at a crossroad of whether to take her to a hospital for humans or animals. Sadly, she knows she can't go to either and had to talk to them on the phone.

With child services coming to their door, Hana eventually moves to the countryside, and again she takes a beaten down home and makes it a home for her, Yuki & Ame. Which is also more suited for rasing both Yuki & Ame. Though once again Hana continues ot push forward, she continues to make mistakes. One relationship I loved is how Nirasaki looked after her like a daughter. His question of why is she smiling if she had made a mistake was interesting. For Hana she had to continue to move forward and there wasn't any time to be in misery. After all she has to look out for her kids. Though gardening is one where she really needed to learn. Though her neighbors and most particularly Nirasaki saw that she was a mentally strong woman. To see how they came to aid Hana with gardening was sweet. For Hana she perhaps finally found a place of her own that she can live with her kids.

Once the mention of taking Yuki & Ame to school approached took us to the most interesting part of the story. Yuki was always seen as the energetic kid and Ame the reserve one. Yuki's promise to Hana was to never turn into a wolf at school. As we see Yuki making friends, she was very much adapting to the human side. Meanwhile, Ame when he began school he was not fitting in, and you could even see what short scene of him being bullied. Both of these kids are part human and part wolf. For Yuki there was great joy of happiness on her human side and for Ame much the opposite. It wasn't until he met Sensei where the found his calling. The argument that Yuki & Ame had about who was right was interesting because neither of them were wrong. They each had a different route for their happiness. Yuki was for being human while for Ame it was being a wolf.

There are bits of similarities with Yuki and her father because they sought to live with humans even with knowing they are part wolf. Which is why when Souhei is introduced in the story it brings a dynamic because for Yuki, he is the first one who picked up the slightest hint she might not be human. Of course, he would have never guessed that. Which leads to when Yuki defends herself against Souhei and her fears are heightened. Though the moment Souhei admits that a wolf attacked him and not Yuki is kind of when he realized he was in the wrong. As he continues to visit Yuki, their friendship grows until the final scene where they are left alone in school where Yuki tells him she is a wolf. Though obviously Souhei knew this all along as he saw her transform, but he was willing to take that scret with him. Yuki feeling the same feeling of relive that her father felt when she told Hana that. Now Hana can continue walking the path of human.

For Ame he continued to skip school and even spent time in the mountains with Sensei. Until he passed away. This is the point in the movie where things get conflicted because he goes against what Hana asked of him. As Hana tries to go look for him in the rain, you are left with the impression of why is he doing this. As we fear is Hana going to survive. One of the consistent themes of this story is how Hana continues to do what is best for her kids even if she makes mistakes along her way. She has treated both her kids as human more so then kids. Though Ame himself decided to walk the path of the Wolf, and thus he already reached the point of adulthood. It was in the dream she had with Ookami that she realizes what she needs to do. Probably the hardest thing a mother can do is to say goodbye to her children.

Hana's journey from raising both Yuki & Ame was not of easy one. It really showed how hard the journey it can be to be a single mother and raising her kids. Though through it all there are others who recognize that determination and strength. As we see the help she got from the neighbors. She has now raised Yuki & Ame enough for them to make their choice. Yuki is going to school and being a human where she found a partner with Sohei. While Ame learned under Sensei and will be the one to protect the forest. His love for her mother remains as you see him howling, which tells his mother he is doing ok stiil.

A Beautiful masterpiece.

Eh prob not. Demon Slayer having 3 films for the final arc. Not really in a rush to rewatch it yet. Still waiting for when they give a release date for the 3rd film which is still ways away.

I haven't started watching it yet, but that prob is only available on the Japanese broadcast. It doesn't seem like any subgroup picked it up so you basically stuck with watching with whatever Adult Swim/Max are giving you.

Got enough to watch and there have heard enough red flags. I will just wait to watch it subbed when it drops on Hulu one of these days.
