i’m not religious, never have been.

BUT YOU BET YOUR ASS I WAS PRAYING LAST NIGHT—TO ALL THE GODS THERE EVER WERE—FOR HORIKOSHI TO MAKE BKDK CANON

[obsessive-dumpling]

Okay! I saw it! Let's talk about it!

AHHHH! It was so good! It was ALMOST everything I wanted. There were a couple moments I felt like Bones was trying to minimize the gravity of this apology. Specifically, the lack of transition of Izuku's eyes.

When Katsuki first confronts Izuku, and starts at the beginning of their story (them being shown as young children) Izuku's eyes are completely void.

As Izuku begins to realize what's happening (when they reach their middle school timeline) we see his eyes coming back.

By their high school timeline he looks stunned and his eyes are lightening and becoming wider.

As he hears his name, his eyes have come back entirely.

By the end, his eyes are clear, present, his pupils are blown wide and light has finally returned them.

In the manga Horikoshi very intentionally shows Izuku's eyes becoming lighter and more present with every line that Katsuki says. Almost as if, Katsuki is slowly bringing Izuku back to life. Bones opted to leave those details out and that super sucks. This scene is so beautiful and powerful because even though it is BAKUGO'S moment, it's HIS apology that he's been agonizing over for months, it's still equally about both of them. It's still their give and take. It's so /them/ meeting each other where they're at, no matter what, and filling a role for each other that no one else could possibly fill. And by removing Izuku's part in that, you miss the full impact.

BUT it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge all the wonderful things Bones DID do in the episode. The rest of the animation was genuinely stunning. And Okamoto did an amazing job of bringing Katsuki's words to life. He made him so soft and I will forever be grateful for his portrayal. At first I was a bit upset he didn't do the pause indicated in the manga before saying Izuku's name but honestly...I like the change. I like that Katsuki says "Izuku" so confidently and without reserve. Because he knows he can. And he knows Izuku will accept it despite the fact that he probably shouldn't. It was a very nice change.

I loved that we got more shojo glow throughout, I also loved how they handled Katsuki's catch scene and Izuku finally feeling safe enough to sleep. That wasn't in the manga people! The catch was, yes, but NOT the panning in on Izuku's face as he relaxes into Katsuki's arms and falling asleep! That was a nice bonus touch that [not completely] helps balance out the loss of the eyes animation.

Overall, the handling of chapter 322 was done with a care I can appreciate. I can't wait to see how they handle our boys next big scene. 💚🧡

With bnha ending in like 5 chapters I’d like to put my delusional request out there, come here horikoshi

-pat pat-

I want to see the hassaikai again

LISTEN I KNOW. THEYRE BAD

I am a hassaiaki LOVER but not defender it is on SIGHT for you 11 mother fuckers but I miss said 11 mother fuckers (okay except Mimic, Tabe and Rikiya you three can STAY gone.)

Just simple stuff, like just one little panel during some narration show me like chrono and nemoto playing shogi in prison (I think chrono, nemoto and mimic are in one prison, Hojo, Setsuno and Tabe in another??don’t quote me some of them are still together though it’s in the analysis book), show me deidoro making toilet wine, show me Rappa teaching the other prisoners how to fight, show me Tengai meditating with the other prisoners, just show me overhaul period. I just MISS THEM.

I also have just a lot of questions about a LOT of the Hassaikai I won’t get answered (What made Nemoto go from being a con man to valuing truth above all else? What kind of cons did he run? Does he wear his glasses under his mask? What made tengai stop being a monk? I still FIRMLY believe pops and chrono are related. Also in the analysis book it says Rikiya started out as Overhaul’s younger brother like figure like EXCUSE ME??? WHY WASNT THIS ELABORATED ON??) I’ve accepted that but I just wanna see their pretty little faces again. Also chrono was ranked 28 in the latest popularity poll show HIM TO ME.

The worst crime hero society has comitted was force Aizawas' kids to fight a war they were not at fault for, and made him watch as each of their lives got destroyed before they got a chance at living them.

My hero academia.

I still remember the first time I watched the show back then when the illegal streaming sites weren’t that popular or barely existed and I couldn’t bring myself to buying an actual subscription because I was in denial when it came to my interest in Anime; in-fact: Mha was one of my firsts. I remember the episodes being in a small box with the person of uploaded the episode’s watermark surrounding the screen it was a rough time to be honest but I enjoyed watching.

I remember me and my friends being hyped up while waiting for each and every episode or manga chapter to release. I remember buying my first volume and reading it shamelessly in school and I made a best friend out of it and we’re still friends until now, I bonded with a whole group of people over it and we’re still in contact and that’s amazing.

Mha played a big part in my life, it helped me even during an addiction I used to have and it also had a big influence on my art.

The impact of seeing the characters on the screen or physically on a paper was truly phenomenal, even if it is or was weird. The personality of each and every character stabbed me in a metaphorical way and left the wound unhealed and I’m grateful for that. Seeing the end of this series really feels unreal after all these years, the fanbase shifting and it reviving then going back down again. I actually cried.

The real message of my hero academia was showing the mistreatment of society to certain groups of people and I really love that, Horikoshi wrote it in a way nobody else could and I’ll always admire him for that.

Thank you Horikoshi for changing my life really, and I hope you can take a well deserved break now.

Readers: I can't wait for these character's backstory to finally have closure and give us much needed catharsis

Horikoshi: Nah, we need to get back to the big fight

[supernaturalist-sdcj]

MHA CH 385 SPOILERS AHEAD ‼️‼️

Horikoshi really said you guys aren’t sad enough let’s fix that this chapter

AFO is still fighting against Mt. Lady, Hawks and Tokoyami

AFO slices down Mt. Lady and throws an attack towards Tokoyami which Hawks jumps in front of

Tokoyami took a lot of damage still and is lying on the ground in a similar pose to Bakugo

AFO grabs up Hawks by the neck and STEALS HIS QUIRK

AFO flies off after leaving them all seriously injured and Hawks quirkless

Horikoshi really said you can’t have Bakugo back yet but here’s teenage AFO to fuck up your day

[trullallahere]

Hori please

[krimsonkitsu]

This man lives rent free in my head and I spend far too much time thinking about a one off Bnha movie character. So here’s a redesign for Dave I completed for an rp

[persianminaj]

Hori new sketch. Why is this so sad ? 😔🦅💔

[rivaiiuzumaki]

I think I already posted when I read Vigilantes last time but my memory blows so, whatever.

Why won't Horikoshi show us Aizawa's home? Or his dorm room in the Heights Alliance? We'd pay to see that right? This is fanservice too! Do it! Enough with the boobs and butts! Show us Aizawa's curtains and sconces ! We got a glimpse of his desk in his dorm room and..??

If you're thinking " this old bag is crazy for being this invested in a 2D action hero", why are you attending my personal rant session? why are you still reading ? Go do your homework.

Ahem. I guess Betten sensei went with the note that Aizawa has basically nothing in his apartment and just drew him living in some kind of a storage unit. Which is so perfect BUT SHOW US MORE!

I'm quite intrigued by the theory that Aizawa came from wealth. It might explain his zero tolerance policy for anything superfluous or irrational. Might explain why it's to such intense, character defining levels.

That happens sometimes to kids that grow up in the kind of wealthy homes where there's an excess of everything cluttered everywhere. Like imagine him having parents who were nice people but not the most sensible when it came to managing their finances. Possibly shopaholics, just filling every space in their home with who's-its and what's-its galore, for no purpose other than instant gratification or momentary diversion. He must have found it annoying at least or stifling at most. The faults of our parents do sometimes get magnified in the memories we collect. It must have been frustrating for a controlling spirit like his to grow up without any power over his space. So he fell as far from that tree as he could. It makes sense to me. Is it too much to ask for a confirmation on this ?

I hope we get to see more. I hope Vigilantes gets animated. ( Or just Aizawa's arc in it ) Or, a tour of all the teachers' dorms like they did with class 1A.

Until then, let's enjoy some Aizawa arms I guess.

[tiiramisu-cake]

somebody said horikoshi loves his characters more than plot whereas gege akutami prefers the plot over his characters

hori won't let afo die until each and every side character has gotten their arc and gege is killing his characters like there's no tomorrow

[dustyskies747]

I’m out here asking the real questions (Horikoshi please answer I’m begging) ((I have my own headcanons about their tattoos))
