My Hero Academia, Episode 1


Recommended Posts

I remember why I hated this show now.

Because the far more interesting plot is Deku becoming someone like Marshal Law or Judge Dredd.  A non-powered hero with guns and tech to deal with heroes that are rampant, hypocritical assholes.

This is a story about folks with powers bullying folks without them.  In those stories, the human brain closes the gap.  That’s why Batman is so popular.

I dunno.  I didn't think much of the show.  I'm not saying it's bad.  It just seems like your standard shonen.

If you're a fan of shonen, you probably like it.

If you're not a fan of shonen, you probably won't touch it with a 10 ft. pole.

That's fine!

Yup, I do agree you have to like shonen.

That said, this is still just the first ep. There's still more build up to come next week.

This show has lots of characters going by the OP.

The girls really like the tree dude?

Fire hydrant man lol.

Illegal use of super powers during traffic! :D

Mt. Lady.  You won't have to worry about this bum anymore! :D Everyone takes pictures!

Sorry to say but the bully is right.

Not so sure it's a good thing that the heroes are paid.

There's no reason to fear, because I am here! :D

Wouldn't the people with powers be the normal kids since power-less are 20% of the population?

Cliffhanger!

If you need to watch multiple episodes to get into it, then that's bad writing.  A show should hook you with the first episode.

I this was a pretty good start with a good hook with the world and Izuku.

But in a way story wise this is kind of a two-part opener, next ep is the real hook episode

 

With the offer

The way that it's obviously kind of a two-parter is that we haven't even fully met All Might yet, which is the rest of the scene they just cut off for the cliffhanger.

20% of people are born powerless now. The implication is that all Quirks are not equal. E.G. not everyone has a Prime candidate hero Quirks like shooting explosions like Kachan. Thus it's very reasonable to extrapolate the actual viable "hero population" is likely much much smaller.

To put it in a real-world way, most people are able to play sports. Very few people are capable/talented enough to play in the NBA or NFL.

Indeed there is more than just action on the surface going on. There's some social and political stuff too.
