My Hero Academia was decent again this week, but seriously, we've spent the bulk of the show on how Bakugou shattered Midoriya's confidence, and how Midoriya has started to build it back up. Only we've really focused on it. Like, really really. I'm tempted to call the first eight episodes "A Love Affair: Deku's Growth and Kacchan's Anger".
If the show hasn't been Midoriya whining, it has been Bakugou being angry. I'm glad the show looks like it will finally be moving on, but for what is only a 13 episode run currently, it kind of feels like time was wasted on not making any real plot progression. Our underdog MC still can't control his power more than a hair, and that's directing rather than power percentage, and it's only at the end of this episode that it finally looks like we might have some kind of conflict introduced to bring this season to a head.
I get the impression that the series thinks its going to be long running at this point, but if it isn't, this one is going to be very forgettable in a few years.
