Also, thoughts on my Jump shows.
Assasination Classroom: That was really great, even if it was a bit of an asspull. I liked the contrast drawn with Koro-sensei's first student and the E class. The episode was incredibly emotional, for sure.
I'm not a big of fan of fake-killing off Kayano (not that I actually wanted her to die), but it was another fine parallel to his backstory. In a way, he redeemed his failure to save Aguri with his actions in the present, and it certainly falls in line with the ridiculous over-preparation that Koro-sensei is known for.
Overall, I was a bit dissapointed that creepy scientist and the new Shinigami took over as the main antagonists of the show, as I honestly felt Asano was a much better character rival for Koro-sensei. Unfortunately, his style of villainy doesn't make for a climactic ending, so I can see why the plot went this way. Still a fantastic anime overall, and I'm looking forward to seeing how everything concludes.
Hero Academia: Yeah it's cheesy as hell, but I really don't care, seeing All Might beat the living crap out of Nomu was incredible. I was shouting fuck words at my TV the whole time.
I think the creepy hand dude is one drawing my attention the most right now. He's just...such a weirdo. What's his deal? Why was he freaking out after losing a hand? What's his motivation? I suppose none of these questions will be answered for a while...but I'm still curious. That design too.
At this point, Hero Academia is probably the show I enjoyed most this season, though I'd say Assassination Classroom had the strongest individual episode due to Koro-sensei's backstory. The only reason Hero Academia pulled ahead was because I honestly don't really care about many characters that aren't a yellow octopus.
Kiznaiver and Bungo were both pretty good as well...but I doubt I'll remember much about either a year from now.
