My Hero Academia 57
I appreciate that this is one area that Class 1-A are clearly outmatched. Most of their experiences with villains up until now haven't really focused on the idea of mass evacuation and triage in the face of a terrorist attack or natural disaster, so seeing them outclassed by more experienced schools was a nice touch, even if it was interesting thinking of the numerous ways they could combine and utilize their skills more naturally than they're doing at the moment. I'm curious when the schools are going to put their differences aside and work together in groups that more effectively combine thanks to the synergy of their Quirks, especially now that the test has begun in earnest thanks to the latest development. I'm curious to see who takes charge in some sense, as natural leaders will have to give some direction lest they get overwhelmed considering the challenge facing them now.

Ooof, this was one rough-looking episode! I'm not going to lie, that was painful to watch considering how much the production slid from its relatively decent quality up until now. Even in some of the still shots near the end, the amount of laughably off-model character art combined with the amount of panning still shots during action scenes left me thoroughly disappointed for what should've been an action-packed conclusion to the Cancer Cell arc. Content aside, I'm glad I actually know how cancer works on a cellular level already, because most of the accompanying explanations about certain functions of cancer didn't stay on the screen nearly long enough to read in their entirety. I appreciate them not pausing to explain everything, but if you're going to put notes up you need to leave them up long enough to read them, not just for one second. So yeah, probably the first real let down for me from the series, but hopefully this will not be indicative of the rest of the season's quality production-wise. The tease for next week's episode looked better than most of this episode did, so I have hope.
