@Omni: I'll add the animes to the queue later. (Btw, it looks like the original FMA isn't availible in Crunchyroll.)
I could only get one review out, I'm getting really really tired right now. I doubt I could manage another tonight.
My Hero Academia (episode 3): Boy do I love this series. The rocky montage begins!
At first, I kind of felt it cheating when the All Might offered his power. I mean, it was a cool little surprise and all, also means the words he said at the end of the episode was not of reassurance but of the beginning of a pitch which is kind of funny in hindsight. But as fun as it was, I was afraid he would just be given power just like that and become just like everyone else.
And once again it pulled the rug from under me and cut to a junkyard where he was tasked to pull a fridge. At first, I thought he was gonna gain the power through brute training and dedication and all that talk about it being inherited was a metaphor. Hell, that may still be the case, but more on that later.
I like how the Protag continues to surprise his hero; the fact he stuck to the brutal schedule, the fact he kept going even when he fell limp on the ground, the fact he ACTUALLY CLEARED THE BEACH!
Oh yeah, btw, I love this show doesn’t skimp on the value of volunteer work. That kid definitely made a difference, no matter how little he wants to give himself the credit.
It’s kind of funny he kind of spit my own words back at me. Heck, even if the power transfers over, I’d be satisfied with the way he got it. The kid EARNED it! But despite all that work, it still felt like cheating to him. I guess when you’ve spent your whole life being told what you can’t do, you can’t help but subscribe to that mindset as well.
...yeah, I can relate to that…
Of course, then they surprise me with the All Might making him eat his hair. Funny! And a bit gross!
Honestly, still not sure if the power transfer was a real thing or if the All Might was hoping for a placebo effect. I guess we’ll find out next episode as we’re thrown into the entrance exams.
Gravity Girl’s design is very cute! I wonder if I should be shipping her with the protag or should I wait until frog girl comes into play. Also, apparently our hero has zero experience talking to girls. Well, that’s something All Might may need to hammer out with him later…
Not shockingly, they send their applicants right into the fray. Between this, Food Wars, and RWBY, it seems to be a theme in school based shows to have high action and sometimes high danger entrance exams.
It’d almost be subversive for one of these shows to start with a simple written exam. Just imagine, the hero walks towards the class, he hears people crying about how the teacher is the worst person to take the test under, and how the school has an admission rate of 10%. Then he just takes a really hard written exam and finds the teacher is just really anal about people having their phones off.
Anyways, with that derail, I think I’ve covered my thoughts! Really good training segment, but the rest is just a setup for next episode. Nothing wrong with that, but just makes me eager to see the next one. XD
