So what do they do with her? Does Deku use her as a power backpack from here on?
do you think he will go out with a child strapped to his back at all times?
I mean she's capable of healing herself. And the stats boost is substantial.
Ok, I'm talking as an anime only person now. Here's the problem. No consequences. Eri can just reverse every injury. Every single one of them. Mirio. Nighteye (who should be dead why are you still talking when you don't have organs anymore?! Or a spine!?) All Might can be healed. Reverse his injury and he doesn't die. The scars on Deku's arm should be gone now too.
Exactly! She's like a golden mushroom. Just fix everything with her.
That's a lot of risk at this point. If she goes too hard Eri might erase the target of her powers in an instant.
It's disappointing because as a manga reader this was one of my more favorite arcs.
Based solely on the anime itself, she has next to no control over her powers and could just as easily destroy anyone she uses her powers on.
As of last week's chapter she still has little control over her power or using it to reverse things like Mirio's ability.
Just think of Eri's quirk as "debuff" to any weak condition like fatigue, wound, bleed, etc, down to zero; not to actually heal or reverse them.
Don't quote me, because I could be wrong or didn't read about her power's inquiry.

Haikyu!! S2 12
Yes, lads. Kill them all.
Yes, lads. Kill them all.
This is a good way to look at it, I guess. Thanks.
no, her power is straight up rewinding time, it's just she has no control over it. Based on the manga it also seems this power isn't unlimited and comes with some form of condition though we still don't know what those conditions are
MHA S4 Ep. 13
Everything about this episode seemed so badly paced to me. Why are we getting more backstory on Chisaki during the "big" fight? If they really wanted it, they should've added it before he absorbed the dude and got his power up. Also, that song when Deku caught Eri felt like it didn't match the scene at all.

Why. Do they have. To make her. Look like a child.
You can't even argue it as an art style thing because every other woman we've seen looks like standard anime grown up, not super deformed moe.
For me, it comes down to this: if you're writing a will-they-won't-they where one character assumes the other is in middle school and the other has to clarify that they are an adult or nearly an adult....... stop writing, close the laptop, and take a look at your life.

If this aforementioned risk has a zero chance of ever happening then it's not a risk. It's a useless excuse.
Now that I finished K-On! and Steins;Gate recently, it's time to move on to another classic that I have missed out on. Looking through the streaming services I have, I immediately see FMA:B and Fruits Basket as candidates.
I've really wanted to get into the Fate series, but when the ideal watch order requires I first play a VN that hasn't been officially localized...
That is kinda weird though. Why hasn't Fate/stay night been officially localized? With how popular the series is, you'd think it be a no-brainer.

If you want to watch Fruits Basket then watch the most recent series (2019). It's a far better adaptation.
Definitely planning to. Hulu has both.
Anyone know what I should do about FMA though? I'm aware of the adaptation situation. Looking through FMA's subreddit, a lot of people recommend watching the 2003 series first. That's 51 episodes though!
It's hard to say which one to watch when it comes to FMA. The 2003 version isn't bad, even if it's not following the same content as the manga. But Brotherhood actually follows the story and tells it pretty well. That's 60+ episodes too iirc. The problem with Brotherhood is that it rushed to get to new content the other series hadn't shown. So I think up to the first 12 episodes are pretty rushed. The 2003 version tells that first part better.
Star Twinkle Precure 47
We often get gods in Precure, but they don't often sell that very well. The Star Princesses are definitely the best they've done since Blue in HappinessCharge. Like him, they're classical, myth-style gods -- beings with such tremendous power that their mode of thinking doesn't align with humanity's, and when the two come into conflict, they push through with their own selfishness. You think I'm unfair? Unkind? Too bad! Greater good! Sacrifices must be made!
I also want to comment on the generals. They started out kinda meh, but they've really grown into a solid bunch. Precure has been struggling somewhat with villains in the last few years, so it's great to see them back on track. I still think they kinda flubbed up by not giving Lala a direct rival like everyone else got, though.

Seems like Wagnaria!! (Working) and Infinite Stratos are on crunchyroll at least. Not sure if you'll like them though since the comedy is different from Daily Lives. The latter is a harem show with (un)intentional comedy bits. Wagnaria!! can be an acquired taste depending on if you like the character tropes.
I started watching Haikyu and many dialogues aren't translated. They show for instance subtitles for score boards but not what people are saying during that moment. Or subtitles only for two people who are talking in the back of a room but not for the ones in the front of the scene. It's so annoying.
Just watch Brotherhood. It's better than the 2003 version.
Ishuzoku Reviewers (Uncensored) E1
What the fuck. What the fuck indeed. There were uncensored pussys in the opening. I've watched a lot of stupid fanservice shit, but this is the cake.
Isn't Haikyuu on Crunchyroll? It's fine there. Netflix subs just suck because of those reasons.

Isn't that just porn? At that point I don't think "fan service" really applies.
What do you mean? It already happened to her father, so the chance is definitely greater than zero.

Probably the only show airing this season where someone gets their
in the first episode.
Probably.
CGI characters will put some people off. Including me, a little.
Backgrounds are beautiful though.
Considering how insane, weird and off kilter the source material is, the anime feeling kinda off works oddly in its favour I guess.

It's not a remake of the original series, it's a continuation of the canon without being a sequel.
That's something that happened before the series' storytelling began, to a character solely created for that purpose. Unless MHA goes full HxH, something that not a single thing suggests it, no one will ever get hurt by Eri's power and they will be solely used to have any potential consequences the heroes would suffer undone.
Yes, obviously, but we're talking about in-universe character decisionmaking and motivations here. Don't conflate Watsonian and Doylist arguments!

Ive changed my mind on the iskei element in this. There still is a certain weirdness to it but i think the way they addressed it with lutz was really well done.
Vinland 20
Throfinn is such a passive main character. Its just odd to see in this kind of show.
The setup for this last arc is definitly the most interested ive been so far. I love seeing all the petty schemes/backsatabing intrigue more than just fighting.

Stars Align Episode 11 EngDub
Arashi is on fire today after watching his BF play his heart out in three matches. Incredible.
Definitely one of the best episodes. The soft tennis is so intense and everyones hugs and friendship and teamwork levels are so high.
Aw the Rintaro message and moment was the sweetest.

Star Twinkle Precure 47
With that many destroyed ships it's hard to imagine no one died. Cures reconciling with the Notrayders was nice, though too short. Really noticeable that Lala lacks a proper rival. So in the backstory, all the Princesses created the universe. Then the main 12 gifted it half of their power of imagination (aka free will). Ophy thought it would lead people to be bad and ran off when it happened. She then built up her power and invaded the Star Palace, leading them to create the pens so that Fuwa could hold their power to fix everything.
Except the twist is that Fuwa is going to die to fix everything. No wonder they've treated her as just a weapon. All the Princess stuff is fine, though Ophy still could use a few more lines exploring her philosophy. Too bad the big finale fight is bad so far. Animation undersold this power struggle between gods. On the bright side Fuwa is dead. Alas, she won't stay that way.

Artemis Necklace was so cool. and the strategy was amazing, though I wonder if physically/astrophysically sound.
In any case, surprised we're introducing more characters, will we get an s3? Someprised theres so much anime for a 10volume light novel series (none of the volumes are THAT long).

Even when the author is Japanese and writing to and for a specific demographic in Japan? The answer is still probably yes, but wanting to evoke sensibilities that might not be there or that aren't being pressured into surfacing... Maybe the answer is that they're instead inclined to or suggested to do it so it hits its audience.
I mean, it doesn't even end at what you describe. This is still someone in high school pressing a university student into dating them, which might appall some people regardless of the characters' appearances. It's also not the overall focus.
Yeah that was some epic shit! I mean they are capable of FTL I'm sure speeding up some rocks is probably within their reach.

Was hoping so hard that Moriarty isnt Jack the Ripper, hes too sweet and precious to be a bad guy.
Fortunately Watson was incredibly off the mark.

Filling some Gundam Gaps:
08th MS Team
I can see why this is recommended as a good entry to Gundam. The animation is wonderful and holds up easily today. The story is a solid condensation of many of the anti-war themes of many Gundam series. The mobile suits are a legitimate force that shape battles. The characters are generally likeable. All round a solid taster for some Gundam action.
That last episode was a bit weird, though.
Gundam F91
It is painfully obvious that this was cobbled together from 13 unproduced episodes of a planned 52. It has all the hallmarks of the opening quarter of the original, with child refugees, a parent who created the Gundam, colony battles, a war between the Federation and a kind of Feudalist Spacenoid group, Newtypes and so on.
Unfortunately it doesn't hold together as a single film very well, with scenes jumping all over the place, characters being introduced and killed off at a rapid pace, and some characters who lack development overall.
In addition, the animation quality takes a bit of a dive in the middle section of the film, with the real eye candy in the opening act and to a degree in the final battle.
An unfortunate end card of THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING adds to the feeling that maybe this was a bit of a doomed idea from the start.
Worth a look if you want to know more about the origin of the Bugs that occasionally pop up in other parts of the franchise (usually crossovers).

Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Life Episode 11 EngDub (S2)
Perhaps the one issue I have with this anime is that other teams are only developed the moment they are on stage to perform and then go on to lose (probably) meaning we hardly ever have a chance to care about them. Backstory was decent but kind of dull, cared more about the math teacher turned composer than anything else.
